Chapter 202

Author: Where is Spring
"This is between Mr. and Ms. Brooks. It has nothing to do with us, and we will not comment on this or disclose any information," one of the two bodyguards said to Richard.

Richard suddenly clenched his fists tightly, almost falling as he felt the pain swallowing him like a storm. He could barely stand the pain. He shoved past the guards and rushed out.

His thoughts were numb as he went straight to the Brooks residence.

When he arrived, the front gates were already open, as if they were expecting him to come get an answer.

Richard drew a deep breath, his face pale. He bit the tip of his tongue, and the taste of blood was in his mouth. He forced himself to stay conscious despite the exhaustion, the injuries, and the crushing despair.

Step by step, he walked inside.

Mr. Carson came from the living room and didn't stop Richard from entering. Instead, he only stared at Richard with a look of contempt.

When Richard entered, Willow was sitting on the couch, staring blankly at the eutha

    After hearing that Richard wanted to see Cameron, Trent immediately realized how serious things were becoming. Richard hadn't even managed to win Maria back, and now, another suitor had appeared?This made things even more problematic. He sent the meeting request right away.Meanwhile, Lane Group seemed to have been waiting specifically for Richard's request. His appointment was approved instantly.That same evening, Richard went to the Lane Group's headquarters. As soon as he arrived, he saw a figure already waiting there to receive him.Richard narrowed his eyes and sat across from Cameron."Mr. Lane, you sure know how to get things done. My issue is with Onyx Group, but you got involved without being asked. There aren't many people in this world who meddle in others' business without a good reason, and I have nothing against you. Why are you doing this?"Richard's presence filled the room, but Cameron didn't back down.Cameron spread his hands and said, "Well, I'm sorry a

    Maria turned away and left without looking back.After bidding Richard goodbye, a sudden relief washed over her.Trent sat on the couch in the corner of the room, focused on the paperwork. Maria had been completely unaware that he had been there at all. Only after she left did he look up at Richard in disbelief."Why is she acting like she no longer cares about Hector? What's happening here?" he asked.Richard regained his composure and glanced at him coolly. "I don't know. Find out who she met before coming here."Trent sighed helplessly. "Can you stop pressuring her for a while? Forcing her to be with you like this won't help your relationship. You'll only push her further away."Richard’s gaze hardened. He glared at Trent and warned, "I know what I'm doing. Just do what I said and find out who she met."Trent had no choice but to leave with a nod, knowing that Richard wouldn't listen to him anyway.After Trent left, Richard turned his attention back to the task at hand.

    Cameron called out to Maria with a steady gaze, his tone mild."You can't hide anything from me. That being said, I'm very pleased we've reached this agreement. The more we cross paths, the more I look forward to it. Maybe you're carrying more surprises and secrets than I ever imagined. We'll see."Maria's steps froze as her heartbeat pounded in her chest uncontrollably. She didn't dare to look back. She calmed herself down, then walked away without another word.After she left, Cameron stayed by the window, watching as she got into a car and drove off. He was already sure that the face under that mask was the one he had pictured in his mind.He lowered his eyes to the composition in his hand.Cameron had his answers.He thought of all those nights when he had listened to these pieces over and over just to get through till morning, while he was drowning in depression. Softly, he mumbled, "Linda, you really are still alive. I finally found you."-Maria couldn't calm herself a

    Cameron couldn't help but take a long look at Maria. The quiet stubbornness on her face held his gaze in a way he couldn't quite explain.He smiled deeply. "I do enjoy Linda's compositions very much. But before I agree, I want to hear your terms. I don't offer unconditional favors, even for these compositions."At this moment, the curious shine in Cameron's eyes made Maria tense. But she had already come this far, and there was no turning back.She said to Cameron carefully, "It's very simple. I want you to support Onyx Group. No matter who targets them, you must protect them. Protect the company's heir, Hector Black."Cameron looked genuinely surprised. He wasn't expecting to hear Hector's name in this conversation.A flicker of wariness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Maria. "You're anticipating someone will move against him?""Yes." Maria didn't hesitate to admit to it. "I want you to help him. Agree with that, and these compositions are yours."After hearing Maria's

    Maria left Willow's room. The moment she stepped into the hallway, she started to think.Mr. Carson studied her expression. Curious, he asked, "What's the matter? You look like you have something on your mind. A penny for your thoughts?"Maria smiled. "I'm thinking. If I really want to shake Richard off, maybe I need to give him a nemesis? Someone who can actually match him... A rival strong enough to keep him in check. Does that make sense?"Mr. Carson looked at her with surprise, a little confused by what she meant. "Miss, please don't do anything that would upset Master Brooks without informing him. You know he worries about you more than anyone in this world."Maria let out a soft, helpless laugh. "Of course, I know my brother loves me and cares about me. But I have to stand on my own two feet, too."If she needed her brother to handle everything, then all the suffering she had endured over the years would have been for nothing.Mr. Carson forced himself to calm down, only ha

    "This is fine," Maria said to Willow quietly. "Don't say anything else, and don't get involved.""But..." Willow gritted his teeth.Maria cut him off just as he was about to argue some more. "No buts, Will. Listen to me."Willow finally shut his eyes and clenched his jaw.Maria quickly changed the subject, worried that his mood would worsen. "By the way, there's a real estate tycoon named Cameron Lane. Do you know him?"Willow's eyes flew open. He stared at her, tense. "What happened? Did you cross him?"Maria blinked, surprised by how shaken Willow looked. "No, of course not. Calm down. I didn't offend him. But why are you so worked up when I talk about him?"Hearing that she had not crossed Cameron, Willow let out a sigh of relief. "That's a relief. As long as you didn't offend him, that's good. It's not that I'm overreacting, but he's just that influential."Maria frowned slightly. "How influential?""Cameron is a major figure here locally, and he controls almost all the la
