Chapter 830 Francis Hated Him Extremely
"Who is this?"
With Sarah's question, everyone's gaze shifted to Francis, as he was the only one who could reveal Guadalupe's identity at this moment.
All of this was beyond Francis's expectations. He hadn't anticipated Guadalupe's sudden appearance, let alone being caught by both Sarah and Antonio at the same time!
A sudden surge of indescribable humiliation welled up inside him.
His heartbeat quickened, and his hands, resting on his legs, clenched tighter and tighter until the feeling of agitation almost burst through his veins.
Finally, Francis suppressed the throbbing veins and spoke in a deep voice, "This person is the one who saved my life back then, Guadalupe Diaz."
After speaking, he closed his eyes heavily and leaned back into the wheelchair, concealing the pain and hatred in his eyes.
Guadalupe took off his sunglasses and looked at Francis with great interest, seemingly finding the term "savior" quite amusing.
Francis hated him so much, and having to say that word in front of others must have infuriated him, right?
Thinking this, Guadalupe couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
Francis opened his eyes and saw that mocking, almost smiling curve on Guadalupe's face, full of meaning.
Was Guadalupe planning to expose him?
Francis's heart skipped a beat. If Guadalupe dared to say anything crazy now, he would go down with him.
Seeing Francis's angry expression, Guadalupe chuckled softly and finally agreed, "Yes, I am his savior. If it weren't for me saving him back then, Francis would probably be dead by now. Over the years, while abroad, I've always taken care of him."
This showed just how great Guadalupe's "favor" to Francis was.
The first to feel surprised was Brian.
Guadalupe didn't look like a good person at all, and from what he had just seen, he didn't seem to respect Francis much either. Who would have thought he was Francis's savior?
Antonio and Sarah were both stunned for a moment, exchanged glances, and quickly looked away.
At this point, Francis finally breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "Well, his personality is just that quirky, don't mind him."
Antonio had always felt indebted to Francis. Hearing Francis personally acknowledge Guadalupe's life-saving grace, he didn't mind anymore and his expression immediately softened. "Oh, so it was all a misunderstanding. Since he's Francis's savior, he's also a benefactor to the Valencia Family. Mr. Diaz, is there something you need in Capital City? If there's anything you need, just let us know."
"I don't have much business in Capital City." Guadalupe's voice had a kind of magnetic quality, and his laughter seemed to spill from his throat, "It's just that I have insomnia, a rather unique condition that only Francis can treat."
He sighed lightly, "You don't know, since Francis came back these past few days, I haven't had a good night's sleep."
Antonio was silent.
Sarah was puzzled.
At first glance, the words didn't seem wrong, but on closer thought, why did they sound so strange?
Francis's face turned pale, and he almost cursed Guadalupe in his heart. But no matter how angry he was, it ultimately turned into a deep sense of helplessness.
What he should be thinking about now was how to smooth over this situation.
He exhaled and tried to make his voice sound normal. "Yes, he does have insomnia. The doctor said his condition is very rare. After he saved my life, I stayed at his house, and maybe because our magnetic fields matched, his insomnia improved a bit."
Francis forced a smile, "After all, he saved my life, so I should help him recover, right Antonio?"
"Yes, of course," Antonio replied.
Sarah also chimed in, "Francis, repaying kindness is a good thing."
The world was full of strange things, and they had encountered plenty of oddities.
Since both of them said so, they shouldn't appear too skeptical, as that would be impolite.
Antonio cleared his throat, trying to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, and said, "In that case, Mr. Diaz, why don't you stay at the villa? Insomnia should be treated by staying with Francis, right?"
Just as Guadalupe was about to agree, Francis excitedly interrupted, "No way!"
Once again, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"It's not convenient." Francis forced himself to explain calmly, "The kids aren't familiar with him, and having someone suddenly move in would take them a long time to get used to."
Ignoring Guadalupe's teasing gaze, he looked anxiously at the villa next door and asked, "By the way, Antonio, why did you come out of that villa just now? Is that your house too?"
Sarah accurately picked up on the key point and raised an eyebrow, "He came out of that house just now?"
Antonio didn't go home but went to the house across the street to spy.
Antonio didn't dare to look her in the eye and awkwardly touched his nose. "Yes, Francis, I bought it earlier, and no one lives there now. I just went in to take a look."
Francis actually wanted Guadalupe to get lost, but how could Guadalupe listen to him?
He absolutely couldn't let this unpredictable madman move into the Valencia Villa!
Francis had to swallow his pride and said heavily, "In that case, why don't I stay in the villa next door with Guadalupe? There are kids over there, and Sarah is pregnant. If his insomnia disturbs everyone, it wouldn't be good."
Antonio thought about it and found the idea excellent!
Not disturbing everyone was one thing, but most importantly...
Antonio secretly rejoiced. If Francis and Guadalupe stayed over there, he could openly go home!
"Francis is right!" He turned to Guadalupe, "Then Mr. Diaz, please stay with Francis. If you need anything, just let us know, and I'll do my best to accommodate."
Guadalupe smiled, "No need, having Francis is enough."
Sarah was silent.
Then, she watched as Guadalupe pushed Francis into the villa across the street, and the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger.
Why did it seem like something was off between these two?
"Honey." Antonio shamelessly approached again, "Everything before was my fault. Can you please not hold it against me? I'm begging you."
Sarah slapped his face away, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "You're the CEO of a company, how can you be so shameless?"
As long as he could win Sarah back, what did it matter if he was shameless?
Antonio tightly held her hand, intertwining their fingers, "In front of you, I'm not a CEO; I'm just your husband. So if I make you angry, you can do whatever you want to me, just don't ignore me."
Sarah didn't want to argue with him anymore. Antonio was very difficult to deal with when he was shameless.
She held Brian's hand and walked home, still thinking about Francis and Guadalupe. When they were together, even the surrounding atmosphere seemed to change subtly.
'Who exactly is Guadalupe?' she pondered.
Seeing her deep in thought, Antonio, who was now holding her hand, didn't dare to disturb her. After returning to the villa, he asked the servants to pack Francis's things.
"Take Francis's luggage and get a few people to help at the villa across the street. Make sure to take good care of Francis and Mr. Diaz."
The servant nodded, "Yes, Mr. Antonio Valencia."
When the servants arrived at the villa across the street, several bodyguards were standing at the door. They blocked the way and said, "Mr. Diaz and Mr. Francis Valencia have something to discuss. No one is allowed to enter right now."
The servant was momentarily stunned. What could two men have to discuss behind closed doors?
