They were wrong.
Financial investigators continued digging.

They uncovered something unexpected.
The forged property documents were only the beginning.

She opened loans using relatives' identities.
Transferred assets into shell companies.
Manipulated elderly neighbors into signing false contracts.

She blamed everyone else.
"My son."
"My husband."
"My daughter-in-law."

It was too late.
Ofelia accepted a plea agreement.
Twenty-two felony convictions.
Years in prison.
When she was escorted away...

She searched desperately for Julián.
He never turned around.
