According to Alejandro, the Court of Spain, “by mistake released a part: almost 28 million dollars, and deposited them directly into Alejandro’s bank account.”
When Alejandro revealed to Kelly, his university professor, that he was heir to a Spanish duke, she and her husband did not hesitate to advise him. But nothing would go right after that.

Something that gave the family more confidence is that the man had paid part of the money, so they decided to continue lending him.
Despite the fact that the couple had a law firm, they decided to handle the matter in reserve at the same request of the false duke.
The couple began to investigate in the Court of Spain, where they confirmed that the legacy did not exist.
It had all been a lie and when they realized the situation they called Alejandro to summon him and face him once and for all.
