Esmeralda 35: Irrefutable Proofs

Esmeralda was scared by the consequences of Blanca's confession. As Crisanta further shed light on how the child-exchange tragedy happened on the night of their birth, 23 years ago, Rodolfo listens to the mysterious story again and expressed his doubts, when Blanca pleaded for forgiveness for deceiving him for 23 years over the paternity of José Armando. At that point, Dominga brought out the Emerald earrings as irrefutable proof of how the exchange was sealed 23 years ago.

José Armando, who was equally shocked had to begin to console a weeping Esmeralda, as he sympathized with her over the tragic revelation. She was sad when she considered the circumstances of their 'criminal' exchange at birth.

After the realization of this truth by Rodolfo, he begged José Armando to keep this revelation secret and still pretend in public as if he were his biological son. José Armando rejected his facade, and told him to go and ask for Esmeralda's forgiveness, for all the evil he had done to his own daughter.

In the midst of this drama, Adrián went to talk to Graciela, declaring to her that it was impossible for him to stop loving her. The two agreed to ride on a horse out of town to re-examine their love life. As they were riding away, Fátima was shocked to see these two recalcitrant lovers together again, after all the much warnings she had issued against their love relationship. Fátima was deeply distressed by this sight, while the two lovers reunited and gave free rein to their unquenchable passions for each other.

Fermín came to advise Esmeralda, telling her not to let her anguish at discovery overwhelmed her love life. José Armando decided to forget about his past life of opulence and falsehood and was moving out of Casa Grande, to Mexico city. Blanca assured him that she would always treasure him like a true son she never had.

This new situation have only succeeded in strengthening the love bond between José Armando and Esmeralda. Esmeralda assured him of her love for him in spite of discovery.

Rodolfo went to talk to an already distressed Fátima.
