They were told that they were not Duarte’s because their mother, Juana Ibarguren, had them when she was not married to Don Juan Duarte, their father. Duarte was married to Estela Grisolla, whom he had had three daughters with. Eva wanted to prove herself to the people and, most importantly, her father that she was worth more than her illegitimacy deemed her to be.
