But neither says the words that would make them recognize each other but Isabela refuses Soledad out rightly. Isabela recalls that Soledad’s grandmother had a heart attack when she told Rosa her last name and this leads to Soledad thinking that she’s behind the attack but Isabela now thinks that she knows the reason why Soledad wants to buy the house, she believes that she’s an accomplice to the murder of her father and that’s why she cuts the brake of her car. She promises to turn her in to the police.
