If he fell, many would fall with him. “I’m going to make some calls,” Gonzalo said.
She won’t spend a single night in jail, but there’s another problem. The worst lawyer, the gardener Martín Reyes. We intercepted a call last night.
He’s alive and in contact with Dolores Medina. Where is he? San Jerónimo, at his mother’s house. The lawyer is going there today. Do you want us to intercept them?
Aurelio thought about it for a moment. No, let them arrive, let them all get together, and when we have them all together, we’ll solve all the problems at once.
It was a clean, efficient plan. But Aurelio had underestimated his enemies, and that would cost him everything.
Dolores arrived in San Jerónimo at noon.

Her doctor had warned her that stress could kill her, but dying while seeking justice was preferable to living without having found it.
