Chapter 30 Guadalupe, Don’t Go All–In!
The yacht had set sail.
Guadalupe and Gilbert went back to the deck.
In the cabin.
Ezequiel was surrounded and flattered. He was used to dealing with it. Sometimes, he smiled back at people. It seemed Melany’s showing up hadn’t affected Ezequiel at all.
Korbin was good at creating chances for his granddaughter.
Adalyn was bold and kept finding opportunities to talk with Ezequiel. She didn’t hide her feelings for Ezequiel.
Ezequiel was polite to Adalyn, neither cold nor passionate.
Melany was standing next to Ezequiel. Every movement of her was decent, but it seemed she was forcing a smile.
Guadalupe felt for Melany.
As a woman, Guadalupe could understand how bitter Melany felt.
Guadalupe was enjoying the drama as an outsider. She looked the three people up and down, curious about what would happen next.
All of a sudden, Ezequiel looked over at her.
Guadalupe was stunned.
Chapter 30 Guadalupe, Don’t Go All in!
She held her breath,
Ezequiel noticed the curiosity on her face before Guadalupe could hide it.
Ezequiel narrowed his eyes as if he had seen through what Guadalupe was thinking,
“Gilbert, can I walk in the front?” Feeling guilty, Guadalupe turned to look at Gilbert.
“Sure. You can go. I’ll stay here,” Gilbert agreed right away,
“OK. Call me if you need me.”
With that, Guadalupe immediately fled the scene in her high heels.
She walked to a spot where the space was open. There were two chairs. Guadalupe sat on one of them.
The waves were surging. The glorious lights afar condensed into golden dots, scattered in this misted night.
Guadalupe felt so relaxed.
Physically and mentally.
After enjoying the sea wind, she took out her phone from her bag.
After calling Taniyah, Guadalupe turned off her phone. After she came here, to make things convenient at work, she bought a new phone and got a new number.
Guadalupe turned on her old phone and saw more than 100 missed calls…

She had turned off the phone. Why did they keep calling he?
The calls were from strangers, her parents, Taniyah, her other friends, her previous subordinates, and even her
acquaintances in the business industry.
Guadalupe clicked open WhatsApp.
Taniyah left her many messages. The earliest one said, “Don’t pick up. Don’t mind. Don’t believe it. They’re all from
Desmond!”
An hour later, Taniyah sent her another message, “Guada, where are you?”
Her parents also sent her a message, “Where did you go? Come back!”
Even Roselyn asked her, “Where are you?”
There were so many messages.
It took Guadalupe a long time to read them all. It seemed everyone in her life cared about where she was… Desmond was so insane!
Guadalupe sighed, feeling tired.
Guadalupe left WhatsApp. Then, she saw endless texts and voice messages.
At first, Desmond asked calmly where she was. But he gradually turned furious and lost control. The latest voice message was sent five minutes ago.
Desmond’s voice was upset and hoarse. He couldn’t say a sentence clearly, and he was sobbing.

“Honey, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m a jerk. I should have died. Sorry… Please give me another chance… You can punish me however you like. You can even take my life… If you are traveling, then have a good time. I’ll wait for you at home… I just made one mistake. You can’t… You can’t give me a death
sentence…”
Guadalupe turned off her phone immediately.
She was afraid of being dragged back into the endless abyss by the man crying pitifully on the other end of the phone.
In Freyburgh.
Desmond was sitting on the lawn in front of the villa, looking tired. His hair was messy. His chin was covered by stubble that hadn’t been shaved in time. Wine bottles were all over the ground. Behind him was the dark house.
Desmond didn’t dare to walk into the home without Guadalupe.
He had been using all methods to look for Guadalupe the whole day, but it seemed she just vanished, leaving no clue at all. The fear of losing her gripped his throat tightly like a vine.
Desmond looked up at the moon in the sky, his eyes red.
On the sea, Guadalupe also looked up.
It was the night of the full moon. The bright moon was like a mirror. Staring at it ached Guadalupe’s eyes. When the mirror cracked, it could never be mended. When their love cracked, they could never go back.

Guadalupe sat there for a long time.

Finally, Gilbert called and asked her to go to the second floor of the cabin.
Guadalupe stood up and left.
The second floor was the recreation area. Pools, karaoke rooms, video rooms, card rooms, and indoor golf… It had everything they needed.
The second floor was for relaxing.
Gilbert told her that they were playing Texas Hold’em in the card room.
Guadalupe showed a knowing smile. Bosses loved squandering money in this game.
They found somewhere to sit and grabbed some dessert.
About an hour later.
Ezequiel called and asked them to go in.
Guadalupe and Gilbert went into the card room.
The card room was filled with the smell of cigars. The rich people were sitting around the oval table. The winners looked
on the proud, and the losers looked upset. Chips piled u table. The woman in charge of distributing cards was sexy. Servers kept serving red wine, champagne, and cigars. They chose to call or to fold casually, squandering money as if it were just paper.
Ezequiel didn’t smoke. There was a glass of champagne next to him. He looked fresh, totally different from other people.

The number of his chips revealed that he had won a lot.
Melany, who was sitting next to Ezequiel, looked drunk. She supported her head with one hand, looking in a daze.
“Help Ms. Garner out. She’s drunk.”
Ezequiel gave an order in a flat voice.
Guadalupe and Gilbert went to help Melany.
“I’m fine.” Melany dodged their hands.
Guadalupe and Gilbert tried several times, but Melany kept dodging them.
“Ms. Garner…”
Gilbert didn’t dare to touch Melany. Guadalupe thought it should be okay since she was also female. So, she wrapped her arm around Melany’s waist, trying to lift Melany.
“Where are you touching?”
Melany suddenly became sensitive and pushed Guadalupe with all her strength. Luckily, Gilbert supported Guadalupe from behind.
Guadalupe was also startled.
Everyone around looked over.
Ezequiel darkened his face. He stood up and helped Melany stand up in person. Then, he said, “Take over for me for a while.”
“OK.”

Actually, she didn’t even know whom Ezequiel said this to.
Gilbert didn’t answer. So she did.
Ezequiel left the card room with Melany.
Gilbert looked worriedly at Guadalupe. He didn’t think she
had ever handled such a scene, so he decided to take over for Ezequiel.
But before Gilbert did anything, Guadalupe had sat down calmly.
Guadalupe looked at her cards and the community cards.
It was easy to not los
she She could just fold. But now, represented Ezequiel. Folding every time would put shame on him…
But Guadalupe couldn’t ensure that she could win…
She quickly formed a plan in her heart.
Guadalupe acted calm, not panicking at all. She looked like a master in Texas Hold’em.
She played for more than half an hour.
In the beginning, Guadalupe was cautious when s..e chose to call or to fold. She only raised when her cards were promising, and she never raised too much, trying to make herself invisible. But soon, she got excited and started to bet boldly. After winning a few times, she threw her cautiousness behind. When she had a chance to get a royal flush, she even wanted to go all–in. Gilbert was so scared that he kept pressing her

Gilbert thought, “Don’t go all–in! You couldn’t pay back Mr. Hodge even if you offered yourself to him!
“Mr. Hodge asked you to take over for him, but why are you getting excited?”
“Guadalupe, please go check Mr. Hodge. I’ll take over for him.” Gilbert’s smile was plastic.
“No…”
“Don’t refuse! Go!”
Gilbert interrupted Guadalupe firmly.
Guadalupe finally stood up. Looking at her cards, she felt unwilling to leave.
Some rich people in the room watched as Guadalupe left, craving for her. She had a stunning face. Her body was skinny yet curvy. And she was so bold when she played cards. When they thought about having her number and spending a wonderful night with her, losing money couldn’t upset them anymore.
She was just Ezequiel’s secretary. Ezequiel wasn’t stingy. They believed he would lend her to them.

Guadalupe left the card room.
Thinking of Gilbert’s words, she almost laughed… Ezequiel was with Melany now. Who would be so dumb to disturb him now?

But Guadalupe understood that it was just Gilbert’s excuse.
Guadalupe got a bottle of water and drank it as she walked toward the third floor. She felt light–headed and wanted to get some fresh air.
Guadalupe stepped onto the deck of the third floor. When she approached the round sofa and looked back, she saw two people who seemed to be kissing. Ezequiel had his back facing her. Melany stood on tiptoe, her arms wrapped around his neck…
