Rebecca the villian

Miss Rebecca is fast turning to the bitch in the mansion. When she arrives at the mansion, she behaves so humbly that Don Pedro Jose Donoso insists that she stays when Isabel was undecided. She was always smiling, curtsying and grateful for every little gesture towards her. Alas greed breeds arrogance, and arrogance breeds resentment and intolerance. Her obsession with finding treasures in the mansion and becoming the new rich lady blinds her to the extend of turning her to a villian. She confides in Walter that she wants to be very rich so that when she goes back to her hometown, she will be envied and admired by the peasants.
Isabel does not trust her and suspects her activities in the mansion but she needs an ally so she tolerate her excesses and tactlessness.
The night of reunion as envisioned by Cantalicia did not come, instead rejection was what she got. When she drew near to the husband, he just told her to take her hands off and not touch him. I wonder what he was expecting. The husband prior to this time hardly speaks and was always doing her bidding like a handyman and a husband. Now the man can talk, read and write and look people straight in the eye. The man exudes confidence beyond his environment.
Anthonio is becoming bolder by the day. I love him standing up to Rebecca in defense of Angela. That is true love borne out of a desire to protect and care for. Anthonio is a real man. He follows his heart while the brother Symon, is fun loving with no commitment to real love. I know Symon has the capacity to love and when he finds love he will be committed.
Abigail their mother on the other hand is torn between security and comfort of the mansion and standing up to defend herself and the other workers against injustice and harrasment. Well I know that justice will prevail over any other interests if she has to choose.
Meanwhile, Rebecca is still searching everywhere for the treasure that would transform her into a powerful woman. Even without the fortune, she has transformed to an elegant lady. Cannot believe her transformation and arrogance. Imagine breaking the chinaware because a film of dust was found on it before Abigail and others. What an effrontery. Isabel is even more cautious and nicer than her.
