After Hernan left, Carmen asked to see Inno. She told him that she would train him to be the next president at Cortes Jewelry and he accepted the challenge. Stella was against it because Oliver was older but Carmen said that Inno was more responsible and more immersed in the company. Stella said that Oliver could do the same if he were given a chance. He was the social media head and she did not think it suited him. Carmen told Stella that Oliver was given that position because he was a natural charmer and was good at networking. Carmen said she was utilizing the strengths of her ‘sons’ but Stella said that Inno was not her son.
Carmen warned Stella never to repeat that again and threatened to take away all the wealth that she enjoyed.
