Answer
Not right away. I've used my powers to fool him. But it won't last long.
The above line best clues Gabriella to her prediction.
Answer:
"I have used my powers to fool him" are the lines that suggest that Blanca Flor will escape Don Ricardo.
Explanation:
The excerpt is from the play Blanca Flor by Angel Vigil. In the play, from the beginning of Juanito's misfortune of trespassing into Don Ricardo's land, Blanca Flor has been the one to resolve the tasks assigned to Juanito perfectly. She knows how her master is, and the limitations of her powers. She never tried to escape as she knows that Don Ricardo would punish her severely, but seeing an innocent like Juanito being dragged into this situation convinces her to try to escape.
The fact that she is aware that she has enough powers to fool Don Ricardo suggests that she would be able to escape him.
