Chapter 75
If they had known this after the second phase loan was released, it would have been extremely difficult to recover the money lent for the doomed project… Several people regretted the words they had just said and wished they could bite their tongues and swallow/
them.
Ezequiel’s face grew colder, “Mr. Miles, I think you needed to call the chairman again, you needed to go and apologize in person.”
Kenny’s face turned redder than a pig’s liver.
What saved him was a new phone call from Ezequiel.
Seeing the incoming call, he was surprised, and a fleeting look of heartache and tenderness crossed his eyes.
Ezequiel answered the phone.
At the same time, he waved his hand towards the senior executives in the office who were relying on their seniority and forming cliques, with a somewhat careless gesture.
Several people hurriedly escaped as if they were being saved.
They felt like they were going to be put on a ventilator if they stood for even one more second.
They were shocked to discover that the prince, who had been abroad all this time, may have been quietly honing his skills, building up his military strength, and was not just someone with a good–looking face, relying on his family background and resources to thrive in Smeybia. In reality, he had little talent.

If they just used their brains a little. they could easily catch him.
The result… faces were swollen one after another.
Gilbert stood in a corner of the office, bewildered. as if he were dreaming.
“Guadalupe, do you need something?”
Ezequiel put the phone to his ear, with his usual calm tone.
Guadalupe: “Well, you see. I was supposed to be able to come to work the day after tomorrow. Indeed, my leg injury has healed, but now I have something to do at my grandmother’s house… I am requesting another week off.”
The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm as usual, and if one didn’t listen carefully, they wouldn’t be able to detect anything unusual. But he knew that she was just putting up a strong front.
Ezequiel fell silent for a few seconds.
“You really got addicted to skipping class, are you planning to rely on a work injury to keep loafing around and living off others?”
“Did not…”
“Come to work for me the day after tomorrow.”
“Those five days..
“You can’t take half a day, and I need to see you in the morning the day
after tomorrow.”
Guadalupe remained silent for a few seconds.
Finally, like a deflated ball, the voice suddenly became low. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know divorce would be so complicated. If I had known, I wouldn’t have rashly applied for the job and caused you so much trouble. Give met five more days, I will definitely handle the matter, otherwise…”
Ezequiel “Otherwise, how?”
Guadalupe: “You would also be criticized,”
It has been almost three hours since the situation started to escalate, and the possibility that he still doesn’t know is very low.
She didn’t have the confidence to turn public opinion around within two.
days.
She used to appear at Eclipse Group at times like this, always coming and going with Ezequiel, and there was never a shortage of gossip about him.
“Ah, so you were worried about this.”
Ezequiel suddenly realized and then abruptly changed the subject, curiously asking, “So, how do you plan to handle it? Do you have a plan?”
Guadalupe hesitated for five seconds and replied succinctly with four words, “Fight, negotiate.”
Ezequiel was confused.
He sighed with a mixture of emotions and exclaimed, “Guadalupe, you scared me
Guadalupe explained, “I don’t usually do this, but they pushed me too far, forcing me to be more aggressive.”
“I mean, your blind confidence scared me.”

“You are an intelligent person, so I believe you wouldn’t have failed to guess that it was Elyse who instigated the Graham family, right? What makes you think you can take on both the Freyburgh families?”
“…I had my own way.” she stubbornly retorted.
“Guadalupe, it is good to have courage, but courage cannot replace strength. The unicorn bravely charging into the lion’s den is a sacrifice.”
“Even if I had to sacrifice, I would still bite the mastermind to death first, even if it meant we would both perish!”
Guadalupe spoke and realized that she was speaking mindlessly.
Ezequiel’s face became more serious.
The sudden drop in temperature of the atmosphere, even over the phone, made Guadalupe realize that he was angry.
Guadalupe apologized and said, “I shouldn’t have said something stupid.”
Ezequiel’s eyebrows relaxed a bit. “Now that you are under my command, you also represent my reputation. If you come to work on time, I will come up with a solution for this matter on your behalf. How about that?”
