Roberto, now knowing the truth, rushes out to the scene and orders a comprehensive search for the little girl who, he thinks, may still be alive. Just at that moment, Luisa comes along searching for food, and
Roberto, against the advice of the old man, decides to follow her back to her hovel, where
222:
While this is going on, a landslide crushes the home in which the little girl Lidia was being kept by the elderly couple. The man is out helping clear the road, but the woman and little girl are buried beneath the rubble. The woman, unable to get out of the house, is presumably dead. But the little

Roberto then pretends to leave on a business trip, so that he can follow
Susanna's movements in secret. Meanwhile, Giacomo, knowing that Roberto will be on Susanna's trail, goes to the family villa and has the gardener, Vittorio, call Susanna there under false pretenses. When Susanna arrives at the

He finds her in the shipyard office typing a business letter; she has since fallen in love with and married
Roberto. Giacomo declares his undying love for Susanna and when she spurns his advances yet again, he vows to destroy her happiness. He calls her to his room, where he shows her a love letter
214:
He agrees to provide the attorney with the whereabouts of the child whom the mother can now retrieve. She and the attorney set out together by train and bus to the stated location, but torrential rains cause a landslide that brings them to a halt 20 kilometers short of their destination. They are

The next day he meets with the Notary who informs him that the estate is nearly worthless, burdened with heavy mortgages and a defunct shipyard. When
Susanna learns that she may have to leave the home in which her uncle had raised her, she becomes visibly upset. Roberto, meanwhile, has agreed to

Roberto, furious, rushes back to his home to have the little girl separated from her mother, taken to the home of an elderly couple, to be kept there in secret and away from her mother. Susanna arrives home shortly thereafter and becomes distraught at what amounts to the kidnap of her daughter.

which she had written to him years before, but the letter is undated and makes reference to "him" going to the shipyard, so that they can be alone together. The man in question is actually her late uncle, but could easily be understood to be her husband who likewise is working at the shipyard.
226:
A mad woman, Luisa, whose old child had been killed in a landslide, hears the girl's cries for help, rescues her, and thinking she's her own daughter, whose name was
Pinuccia, takes her to her hovel in the nearby forest. At this point, though, the little girl is presumed dead by everyone else.
218:
Meanwhile, Giacomo, seeing his opportunity at last to blackmail
Susanna into marrying him, now that Roberto has been convinced of her infidelity, decides abruptly to leave Viviana. Distraught, she finds a revolver in a desk drawer while Giacomo is momentarily out of the room. He returns, they

There he meets
Viviana, an older, lonely woman, who helps him win a fortune. After several years, he returns to his hometown with Viviana in tow, with a secret plan to marry Susanna, to whom he had already proposed, who at one time, had been his lover, but who then refused his proposal.
210:
In fact, the family attorney, stopping short of telling
Roberto he has committed a crime, uses instead moral suasion to convince Roberto that he would not be returning a daughter to her mother, but a mother to her daughter, since the true victim is the innocent child.
171:
He learns that he, along with the other cousins, is to inherit a third of the estate but, hearing the harsh language used by his late uncle concerning his mother, abruptly refuses his share, and gets up to leave. Susanna stops him and requests that they be left alone.
202:
Roberto takes the scene at face value and orders
Susanna to leave. He then questions Giacomo, who gleefully tells Roberto a pack of lies about himself and Susanna, with the added vengeful allegation that Lidia, their four-year-old daughter, is actually his own child.
194:
When
Giacomo's threats of blackmail get him nowhere, he resorts to leaving the letter out for Viviana who he knows will divulge its contents to Roberto, thus to make him think that he and Susanna are still seeing each other behind his back.
238:
Susanna soon hears the news that her daughter is still alive, and the family are reunited in a happy ending. When Roberto asks Susanna for forgiveness, she replies simply that the most important thing is that he's come back.
230:
But then, Giacomo, learning that he is about to die of his bullet wound, summons Roberto to his bedside to confess that he had been lying, that Susanna actually loves him, Roberto, and that Lidia was his, Roberto's, daughter.
182:
At that point, Giacomo, who confesses to having neither the courage nor the will to put in the required work, backs away from his inheritance and leaves for Montecarlo, where he hopes to strike it rich at the roulette table.
168:
Roberto, who has been estranged from his family, presumably because of his illegitimate birth, is called by his cousins Susanna and Giacomo to the reading of their uncle's final will and testament.
175:
She explains that their uncle actually loved Roberto and, as proof, shows him photos their uncle had kept out of obvious pride and fondness. Roberto is surprised by these sudden revelations.
