Chapter 24 An Angel
Except for Guadalupe, everyone else was dumbfounded.
What the fuck?
In the restaurant of Muirmont Hotel.
Ezequiel finished eating but didn’t rush to leave. He sat there, looking at the real–time video on his phone.
He was really into it. Soon, he curled his lip and had a faint smile as he said softly, “She’s got guts.”
Gilbert stood beside him, watching in a daze. He remarked sharply, “This is more thrilling than a TV show. Guadalupe’s really brave and smart.
“What an awesome girl! Ezequiel said it casually.
After watching the video for a bit, Ezequiel put his phone. away, stood up, and left.
In the elevator, Gilbert pressed the button. Then he hearc Ezequiel say, “It’s so exciting. Let’s go there and see the show in person, shall we?”
Gilbert blinked. “Fine, sure.”
He didn’t have a choice anyway.
In the banquet hall.
Elyse looked at Belinda in surprise and disbelief.
She never expected Belinda to make her a scapegoat.

Elyse explained hurriedly, “No, it’s not like this. I didn’t force her. She said she had a way to make Guadalupe sign the compensation agreement, so I… I invited Guadalupe to the
hotel.
“But I never expected she’d resort to this method. I thought at most she’d send someone to frighten Guadalupe. All I wanted was for Guadalupe to sign the agreement.”
But her explanation proved that she was complicit.
Belinda cried and retorted, “Elyse, how could you say that? It was you who came to me and complained that Guadalupe was being greedy, upping the amount from 150 million dollars to 250 million dollars. I felt sorry for you and Des, so I decided to help you! You told me you didn’t want Des to hold it against you, and that’s why you asked me to reach out to those people!”
Elyse was so angry that her fingers were trembling.
She defended herself, “You, you, you … are talking nonser e!”
Belinda said, “I’m not talking nonsense, Elyse. For the sake of my future with Des, just admit it.”
Elyse almost had a heart attack due to anger.
The Graham family members reacted. Without caring about whether it was true or not, to get Belinda out, they all targeted Elyse, saying she shouldn’t have involved Belinda in

this matter.
Anyway, they all put the blame entirely on Elyse.

Elyse and the Harrison family members ignored their dignity and started arguing with the Graham family.
All the guests present were stunned.
They underestimated how exciting this show would be. There was wave after wave of surprises, with twists and turns again. and again, really thrilling.
Guadalupe was surprised.
Belinda actually shifted the blame to Elyse at this moment, and the two started blaming each other.
She tilted her head to observe Desmond’s reaction. He looked
so cold.
Guadalupe thought to herself, “Desmond cares about his reputation so much. He must be broken down now.
“Well… This is the price he paid for cheating!”
“Guadalupe, I’m sorry. I’ll cover your medical expenses for your injuries and illness! With today’s advanced medical technology, AIDS might be curable!” Belinda’s remorsefu wails rang in her ears.
She saw Belinda pretending to wipe away non–existent tears, putting on an act as if she truly recognized her mistake and was pleading for forgiveness.
But Guadalupe still saw a sinister smile in her eyes.

Belinda wasn’t afraid of having her crimes exposed. She didn’t care about betraying Elyse either. As long as she could make it known that Guadalupe had been raped and contracted AIDS, that was all she wanted.
What an evil woman!
“Well…” Guadalupe laughed coldly, “First of all, I will never forgive you. I’ve already called the police. Second, I’m going to tell you something that might disappoint you. Last night, a kind–hearted person came to my rescue, so those people you hired didn’t succeed. I didn’t get AIDS, and I’m not going to die. But you! You’re definitely going to end up in jail!”
Belinda, who looked sincerely regretful a moment ago, suddenly froze.
The expressions of remorse, sadness, and the attempt at an apology on her face gradually faded away, exposing her dark and hideous nature.
Desmond’s eyes lit up.
He walked up to Guadalupe. “Really? Really?”
Guadalupe didn’t even look at him.
Belinda caught sight of Desmond’s reaction, and her voic turned so shrill. “That’s impossible! That hotel is renowned for its strict privacy. The room is so isolated that no one would ever go there! Who could have saved you? Who on earth would come to your rescue? An angel?”
Guadalupe said, “If you insist on calling him an angel, well, he really does seem like one.”

The lingering fragrance in his palm, and that moment when he softly reassured her that she was out of danger. He indeed looked like an angel had descended upon her. He was tall, handsome, and radiated an otherworldly glow.
Belinda said, “I don’t believe it. There is no angel at all. You just don’t want Des to think you’re no longer pure.”
Guadalupe sneered coldly, “I don’t care about his opinion of me. If I was raped, I would be a victim. You and the people you hired are criminals!”
Belinda was startled, and her expression twisted into one of madness. “Stop spouting such nonsense. You claim someone saved you, don’t you? Then bring him out. Summon your so- called angel! Let everyone see just who he is!”
Guadalupe said nothing.
She couldn’t tell anyone that it was Ezequiel.
She didn’t want to involve a nobleman like him in such a bloody drama. How could she return his kindness with ingratitude and land him in trouble?
“Can’t you tell it? I knew you were lying!” Seeing her silence, Belinda became increasingly aggressive.
Desmond’s light seemed to be going out again.
He didn’t stop Belinda from questioning because he also wanted to know…
“I’m not an angel, but I did save her.” A leisurely and deep voice emerged from among the guests at the far end.
Everyone turned their heads.

appearance walking over. His temperament and figure were simply amazing.
Someone recognized him and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s Ezequiel!”
“Ezequiel?”
“Is there any other Ezequiel Hodge in Freyburgh? Are you a fool?”
“Damn it, it’s Ezequiel from the Hodge family! Why is he here… Wait, what did he just say?”
The banquet hall was a little boiling.
Ezequiel would never show up at this banquet. The Harrison family simply didn’t have the clout to invite him.
But he did indeed come here. Combined with what he said just now… They couldn’t help but sigh and wonder at how incredibly lucky Guadalupe had been.
Did Ezequiel come specifically for her?
They sighed at how lucky Guadalupe was.
The expressions of the members of the Harrison and Graham families were as intricate as the turmoil of emotions they were experiencing at that very moment.
Desmond stared at Ezequiel, who was walking towards him, full of hostility.
Chapter 24 An Angel
This was a man’s instinct towards his rival in love…
Belinda had never met Ezequiel, but she knew he was from the Hodge family, so she knew he was very powerful.
She looked at Guadalupe with jealousy, thinking, “This bitch managed to find a backer so soon!” The envy in her heart was almost driving her crazy!
“Mr. Hodge?” Guadalupe was dumbfounded.
“I just happened to be dining here. Saw there might be some drama, so I came to check it out,” Ezequiel said casually like he was just a passerby who’d had his fill and was idly strolling about.
He looked around.
Because he seemed so calm and at ease, he somehow exuded an oppressive air.
