Leon discussed with Romina and Bernard a way of backing Daniela into a corner and forcing her into giving up her shares in Camila.
Cassie was going over her project presentation when Mikoy came over and started whining about how he had no chance of winning the cash prize since she and Marga were both good. Cassie asked of Marga, whom Mikoy hadn’t seen yet.
Marga caught some students sneaking out of the school to go and have a good time. They allowed her to tag along on the condition that she drive a car she didn’t know how to.
Daniela called Hector and ranted on and on and on about the things his brother had said to her daughter. Hector was evidently bored, until Danny girl promised to make his brother pay if her bratty daughter hated her.
Meanwhile, Cassie made her project presentation to the class and was met with considerable applause.
Neil brought Gino to Romina’s. Gino asked if he could apply for a job, and Romina asked why he hadn’t gone to Daniela. Gino then told her about Camila’s hiring freeze, adding that he had also seen some suspicious men taking some goods out of the factory.
While Daniela was having a cry-fest back home in the study room, Romina, Leon and Bernard sneaked into Camila’s factory and staked out the area. Bernard served as distraction for Romina and Leon to get closer to the goods being loaded into the truck. Romina was certain that they were hiding something illegal in there.
Cassie’s friends commended her on her project presentation. Realizing that Marga was missing from school, she called nanny Esther and asked of her. Esther passed on the info to Daniela, who tried reaching her on phone. The call went straight to voicemail. Marga was actually busy getting herself drunk while driving to Batangas with her newfound ‘friends’.
Romina and Leon had hitched a ride in the back of the goons’ truck. They checked one of the boxes and found some small jars that contained some kind of oil.
“We have to call the cops right now,” Romina said. “Hurry up. This could be drugs.”
One of the goons noticed disturbance from the back and made the driver pull over. The truck came to a stop as Leon placed a phone call. Romina and Leon braced themselves and kicked the scumbags’ assess.
Marga’s drunk newfound ‘friends’ were preaching some nonsense and egging her on to get herself wasted as well, in spite of the fact that she was still driving.
Daniela arrived at Maxwell with Nanny Esther. Carlos joined them a moment later. Meanwhile, Marga had managed to get herself as drunk as her associates. A patrol car chased and caught up with them in no time.
“We pulled you over for speeding,” an officer said. “You look like minors. You’re coming to the station with us.”
Romina told Bernard about the contraband goods they had caught the goons with. An officer confirmed that it was illegal cannabis oil. “Leon, thank you for your help. Let’s see if Camila still doesn’t go under once these contraband goods are linked to them.”
Hector visited his brother in jail and greeted him with a punch to the stomach. Man was sore over the way he had treated his object of obsession. The brothers traded words.
“Family first, Hector,” Alvin grumbled as he walked away, favoring his ribs. “And you owe me big time.”
Daniela and Carlos arrived at the station to find the fine state their daughter was in. The other parents blamed Marga for what had happened. As Daniela pressed her bratty daughter for answers, Cassie (what the hell are you doing there?) and Mikoy walked in. Bratty daughter suddenly sprang on Cassie like a dog with a score to settle.
And this is where I fast-forward cause I can’t bear to hear anymore crap.
Hector’s right-hand man, the goon with the tattoo on his neck ( let’s call him ‘Snakeface’ from now on. Yeah. I know it’s a stupid name) informed his boss about the goods and the men the cops had caught.
“Damn it!” Hector hissed, smashing glass against the wall. “Worthless idiots!” (LOL. How many common criminals have an IQ greater than their age?)
Carlos had a pretty heated talk with his wife, blaming her for their daughter’s recent thirst for adventure cause of all the atrocities she had committed. And wouldn’t you just know it? As bratty daughter listened in from up the stairs, Danny girl refused to accept responsibility, saying that it was all Cassie and Romina’s fault.
“When are you going to stop believing your lies?” Carlos said. “I’m warning you. If anything happens to Marga, I’ll personally take our kids away from you.”
Bratty daughter and despicable mother reconciled and renew their vows of enmity and wickedness against the Mondragons. Despicable mother later had a talk with her bratty lapdog, determined for some revenge on Alvin.
Cassie couldn’t shake off the abominable things bratty daughter had said and done at the station the day before. She confronted her about it and only got more trash-talking in return. There was no end to the crap that came out of her abominable mouth.
Mikoy treated and consoled bratty daughter as she sobbed over the fact that there was someone who had a better claim to the Mondragon name.
Savvy the bratty lapdog resorted to a disguise to get into the city jail as some kind of charity donor. She gave a scumbag there some cash as well as a photo of Alvin. You know the drill.
“Yes, we had the Camila factory raided,” Leon said over the phone. “Just like you ordered. I’ve also gained Romina’s trust. Bernard can’t do anything. Just a little more, and our plans will be complete.”
Romina came over. “What plans?”
“Oh, we were just thinking of how to boost Romina’s sales. But now that Camila’s going down, I don’t think it’ll still be a problem.”
“And that’s all thanks to you. Once it’s proven that Camila’s engaging in illegal activities, that’s when the battle begins.”
Daniela and Romina both threw a birthday celebration for Robert at Camila and Romina’s respectively.
Meanwhile, the police found some illegal contraband items in Camila’s factory.
Back at Romina’s, Cassie thanked her mother for celebrating her dad’s birthday. Romina had a call from an officer, confirming the illegal contraband items they had found at Camila.
Daniela was pretty upset to see the Mondragons at Camila. A battle of words ensued. Romina mocked her, saying that she had just come to remind her and be there for what was going to happen next.
Some officers walked in. “Mrs. Bartolome. We found illegal contraband items in your factory. We’d like to invite you to the police station.”
“I’m not going anywhere because I don’t know anything about those illegal substances,” Daniela declared.
“You don’t really have a choice.”
Danny girl then turned to Romina. “This is all your doing. You want to bring down my company.”
“To be honest, I’m just trying to save Camila,” Romina countered.
“You don’t have any rights to my company.”
Some reporters started trooping in and taking pictures.
“Face your charges first before you say that. Now say cheese.”
The officers started dragging Daniela away. Danny girl was throwing a fit, demanding that the reporters take their damn cameras away from her. A moment later, Romina played the video of Daniela being dragged away to the Camila shareholders, telling them about how their shares would be worthless in no time because the authorities would close down the company due to the incident.
“Now tell me,” Mina urged. “Can Camila still survive under Daniela’s administration?”
“So what do you want, Mrs. Mondragon?”
“I want to help Camila. Give me the shares you own.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes. And in exchange, I’ll give you shares in my company. With our current status, we project a 30% increase in Romina’s value. And you’ll reap it’s benefits. If you accept my offer. So…do we have a deal?”
Daniela was interrogated at the station. She insisted her innocence and kept blaming Romina for trying to set her up. The officer however told her that those substances were part of a bigger operation and the mastermind was definitely connected to her company. Danny girl then pointed out Hector as the likey suspect. She suffered some cramps a moment later and had to be taken to the hospital.
Kulas told the family about the incident at Camila and Daniela being arrested. Gino let it slip that he had seen some suspicious men at Camila and had told Romina about it. Carlos hurried out after receiving a phone call.
Cassie went into her father’s old office with Bonita. She started looking around and found the old chess set she used to play with her dad before, glad that Daniela hadn’t tossed it out. Bratty daughter stormed in and graced the atmosphere with her undying toxicity. Romina stormed in as bratty daughter kept kept spouting nonsense.
“Marga, stop this,” Romina said. “Can’t you see what’s happening to your family? You’re slowly falling apart because of your mom’s actions. You still have time to change. And stop hurting my daughter. My patience is running thin.”
