Once she arrives at Miami, she starts a successful TV show, which makes her a household name in the United States.

Ten years go by and the children run the business into the ground due to their negligence, lavish lifestyles and irresponsibility.

Victoria's eldest son Bernardo (the irresponsible ex-president) is married to a spoiled and demanding wife named Margarita who tries to pit him against his mother in order to keep him subjugated.

The show then follows the power struggles between Bernardo/Rene and Victoria/Margarita as well as the turbulence generated from Victoria's desire to "straighten out" the misguided and unstable lifestyles of her children.

Sensing the bad intentions of her youngest son's girlfriend Carolina (a seemingly sweet and attractive girl who is actually a cunning, classist and manipulative woman,) Victoria tries to help Juan remember his individuality and escape from the unhealthy relationship that is consuming him and turning him into someone that he is not.

She struggles to decide whether she should follow her heart and reconnect with Carlos or use her beauty and charm to marry a wealthy man and solve her family's financial crises.
