Chapter 44 He Didn’t Even Like Women
Guadalupe was stunned.
Clearly, what he said was always a source of confusion, but how it sounded in her ears, it felt like he was saying… he would always miss her.
Her face suddenly turned slightly red.
“Um, well… Thank you for your concern, President.”
“I cared about my subordinates.” Ezequiel said calmly.
Gilbert blinked his eyes: Were they all concerned? Did they have any?
The atmosphere inexplicably fell into an extremely delicate and awkward situation…
Finally, Gilbert broke the atmosphere and continued to talk about the factory with a smile. “Guadalupe is smart, you got it right about 80%, impressive, impressive.”
“What is the correct answer to the twenty?” Guadalupe asked curiously, and in the process, she uncovered the sudden subtlety.
“You said those two ghost workers were indeed real ghosts, they had already died, and James killed them.”
“They died!”
Guadalupe was taken aback.
She thought that those two people might be James‘ relatives or friends, but she never thought that they were actually the victims.

Gilbert: “It’s unbelievable, right? This even led to a murder case, which we didn’t expect either.”
Guadalupe: “I understood, this is the leverage in Jackson’s hands, no wonder he was confident that James wouldn’t report, and was willing to be his scapegoat.”
Embezzlement and kidnapping combined still do not compare to the severity of murder.
Those two were indeed factory workers, the first batch, a married couple. However, they had been here for less than half a month when they were killed by James one night. He said it was because of an argument that he accidentally killed them.
“Later, Jackson discovered it and came up with an idea for him. He created an illusion that the two of them were still alive in this world and fabricated a story of a work–related injury. In order to make the other workers in the factory cooperate, the salary was divided equally among them. From then on, Jackson completely controlled them and made them work for him.”
“Jackson was not satisfied with just a small amount of money, he had a big appetite. He opened a new energy company in the name of his wife’s younger brother, and had James cooperate in stealing research and development data, stealing raw materials. The accountant helped with falsifying accounts, and the workshop director provided cover… It was shocking to see. We thought it was just a small loophole, but it turned out to be completely hollow inside.”
Just hearing about enough to make one’s heart skip a beat.

She had thought that things were not so simple, but she had not expected that there was such a big matter behind it.
She couldn’t help but look at Ezequiel, “Is there going to be a major

shake–up over here?”
If the inside of the factory was like this, there must have been someone on the company’s side as well, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so seamless, sneaking around under Melany’s nose without being discovered.
“It is indeed time for a major shake–up,” Ezequiel nodded, “The performance has been mediocre here all along, and I have been
considering reorganization. Now, it is even more justified, so it’s not a bad thing.”
…”
With his words, Guadalupe suddenly had a feeling of being a watchdog in front of the prince.
Sniffing around everywhere, targeting human lives.
Outside. Desmond came in.
His complexion was not good to begin with, and when he saw Ezequiel coming again, it turned even darker.
“Mr. Hodge, why did you come to see other people’s wives every day? What were your intentions?”
Guadalupe took a deep breath and said, “Desmond, are you sick?”
Ezequiel, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. “I came to see how my subordinate was recovering, after all, she got injured because of me.”
There is nothing wrong with these two sentences, but there is always a feeling that something is off

Desmond’s forehead veins bulged as he listened, “Listen carefully, she is my woman, born as my person, and even in death, she is my ghost. Whoever dares to have any ideas about her, I will kill them.”
Ezequiel listened to Desmond’s words and simply smiled.
He didn’t say a word, but he inexplicably felt provoked… as if Desmond had said a joke that made him laugh.
Desmond seemed to understand the meaning behind his laughter, and his hostility grew even stronger.
Gilbert broke out in a cold sweat. “Mr. Harrison, you have really misunderstood. We came here purely to visit, with no ulterior motives. And also, our president is not a playboy, he is a gentleman, I can assure you, he would never have any intentions towards Guadalupe.”
Ezequiel glanced at Gilbert with indifference.
Guadalupe was extremely frustrated.
She was too lazy to explain to Desmond, but she couldn’t let Ezequiel be unjustly accused like this. “Desmond, can you please stop being so paranoid? The CEO has no interest in me whatsoever, he doesn’t even like
women!”
Ezequiel: “…
Desmond:
Gilbert: ”
The last sentence successfully made the whole world quiet.
After a moment, Ezequiel said with a slightly appreciative yet speechless. expression, “Guadalupe, thank you for promoting me, I really should. reward you.”

He got up and left after saying that.

Guadalupe realized belatedly and quickly tried to make amends, shouting, “I didn’t mean to say you like men, what I meant was…”
“Bang!”
The door was closed.
Guadalupe closed her mouth.
Desmond squinted his eyes in doubt and said, “Is Ezequiel gay? He doesn’t look like it.”
The veins on Guadalupe’s temple throbbed, “Desmond, I have already ended things with you, even if you refuse to file for divorce. I am done. with you! Stop calling me your wife and stop referring to other women as yours! I am not anyone’s woman; I am my own!”
“Unless I died, our relationship would never end,” Desmond said fiercely, as if he wanted to engrave the words into her bones, to make her
understand that he was more determined than her.
She firmly wanted to leave him.
He also firmly refused to let her leave.

The next morning.
Gilbert went to the hospital and paid the medical expenses, completed the discharge procedures, and came with the driver to pick up Guadalupe.
He was actually under a lot of pressure.
But still, he went in under pressure.

“Why should I take his plane? We have our own at home, we don’t need you to send us,” Mr. Harrison refused with a wave of his hand when he heard that they had come to pick up Guadalupe to go to the airport.
Guadalupe ignored him and got up from the bed, allowing Gilbert to push the wheelchair over.
Desmond stood up and held onto the wheelchair.
Guadalupe immediately got angry, “Do you want to argue or fight? My leg wound just healed, do you want to force me to stand up and have a bloody fight to make you happy?”
Desmond choked.
He didn’t want to argue with her, and he certainly wouldn’t lay a hand on her. His tone softened a bit, “It’s the same to fly back in our own plane, no
need to trouble others.”
Guadalupe had an expressionless face as she said, “With you, without us, you are the one who is someone else.”
Desmond’s chest was stabbed, and it was bleeding profusely.
Finally, he didn’t dare to actually lay a hand on her, afraid that her struggling would cause her wound to reopen.
He insisted on pushing the wheelchair and followed her onto the car, together they went to the airport.
He actually didn’t want to return to Freyburgh so soon. He wanted to find. a place where no one could find them and retrieve the emotions of the
past.
Airport VIP lounge.
Ezequiel looked at Desmond who came along, “Mr. Harrison, are you

trying to hitch a ride?”
Desmond shamelessly retorted, “Yes, if Mr. Hodge is stingy, I can pay for
the plane ticket for you.”
