Chapter 270

Author: Where is Spring
Maria demanded Richard in a cold voice.

Richard didn't dare to say anything more. He only picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them on Jonathan's plate.

In a low voice, he said, "If you don't want to talk anymore, then forget it. I was out of line. Just eat. I won't disturb you anymore."

Maria ignored him, lowered her head, and hid all her bubbling emotions deep into herself.

Seeing Richard was bad enough. Seeing Jonathan made it even harder for her to keep her temper in check.

Out of everyone, Jonathan had hurt her the most.

Her own child had betrayed her step by step, called another woman mother, and had humiliated her again and again.

If she had to say who disgusted her most, other than Richard, it would be Jonathan.

Jonathan was her own flesh and blood. She had raised him and poured all her effort into him. His betrayal was the one thing she couldn't accept. Even now, she felt no stir of sympathy for him at all despite knowing he repented in front of a tombstone for s

    Maria froze for a moment. She had never really thought about that question.Technically, she wasn't going to invite Richard to the engagement party. At a time like this, it was better if they saw less of each other. However, the fact that Jonathan asked meant that the boy was still hoping Richard could be there.With that in mind, Maria didn't shut Jonathan down too harshly. She answered casually, "Alright, I'll talk it over with Cameron. You know this isn't just my engagement party. If Cameron doesn't want to see your dad, then I can't invite him."Jonathan listened carefully, nodding like a little gentleman. Then, he burst into a grin. "Okay! Mom, don't take what I said so seriously. I was just asking. I don't really want Dad to come to the engagement party, anyway."He tried to cover what he really wanted by turning it into a joke. Hearing that, Maria reached out and patted his head.He was still so young, and he wasn't that good at playing pretend yet. His thoughts were wr

    Once Cameron had driven Maria home, she went straight upstairs.Jonathan was in his room, taking an online class. On the laptop screen, a middle-aged female teacher was speaking in a gentle voice. She sounded a lot like Maria.This was the class where Jonathan behaved the best. He listened with total focus and kept taking careful notes.When the class ended and he looked up to see Maria, surprise and joy flashed across his face. He rushed over at once. "Mom!"Maria pulled him into her arms and patted his head. "Why are you doing so well in class today? You didn't drift off at all. I was watching from the side. Well done!"Full of curiosity, Jonathan raised his head and asked, "What about you, Mom? Have you and Cameron already set the date for your engagement party?"Maria paused. She didn't expect him to bring that up. She answered softly, "The engagement party will go as planned. Jonny, your dad has his memory back now, and you haven't gone to see him yet. Do you want to? I ca

    Maria stood outside the door of Richard's office, stunned by what she had just heard.She had never imagined that Richard would threaten Janet. Had he done it for the sake of her wish to marry Cameron?Her feelings were complicated, and she herself wasn't sure what it exactly was.She had never expected Richard to keep his word, to step back into the role of a normal friend for the sake of her happiness, to stop doing reckless things that might hurt her.With that thought in mind, Maria slowly let out a sigh. Once she had calmed down, she turned and left quietly.As soon as she reached the ground floor, she saw Cameron running in. Clearly, it was because he had been too worried to stay away.Their eyes met. Cameron didn't understand what was going on and hurried over at once. "What happened?"Maria shook her head. "Your mother went upstairs to find Richard and asked him to join her in ruining our engagement party. Richard refused, so… Let's go. Let your mom save a little digni

    "Are you out of your mind?" Richard's tone was sharp as he growled at Janet.Janet was stunned, and her excitement faded. She demanded, "What is that supposed to mean?""I should be asking that question," Richard shot back. "I just promised Maria that I'd only be her friend. You know that, right? If you don't, I'll clarify it for you. Whether Maria gets engaged to Cameron or marries him, I won't interfere as long as she's happy."Maria's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes slowly widened. She could hardly believe these words were coming out of Richard's mouth.She had always thought Richard had agreed to take a step back and be normal friends only because he was afraid something might happen to her, that he had no choice but to let go. Now, it seemed like it wasn't as simple as him being afraid she might get hurt.A strange feeling rose in Maria's chest. She couldn't really guess what Richard was thinking now.While Maria was still lost in her thoughts, Janet spoke again, her to

    Maria stepped into the building and found that she couldn't use the private executive elevator.She was already running late. If she wanted to stop Janet before anything happened, the fastest way would have been that elevator. But Richard was not answering his phone and Trent was not at the office, so she had no choice but to take the regular one.She let out a slow sigh and waited, her heart thumping anxiously in her chest. She kept worrying as she took the crowded elevator all the way up. Maria didn't know what kind of awful things Janet might say with her sharp tongue, but was sure it wouldn't be anything good.Maria kept brooding in silence until she finally reached the top floor about five minutes later. Nobody stopped her.She hurried down the hallway.As soon as she reached the office door, she heard Janet's voice from inside."That's right! I won't let Maria marry my son with my blessings, especially when you already have a son together. Mr. Shaw, try putting yourself i

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 453

    The more Janet thought about it, the more she was convinced that her relatives were right.Maria's family had money, but she wasn't the heir to their company. No matter how many assets there were, all would go to her older brother. Maria's son had nothing he could inherit. If he ever got anything, it would come from her ex-husband's side.In these circumstances, who would ever complain with their son inheriting a vast fortune, be it liquid cash or assets? No one would.Janet was confident she was right about Maria. Maria was definitely using Cameron to get her hands on the Lane family's resources.Janet told herself she would never allow that to happen. Never!With that thought in mind, she took a deep breath. A bold idea suddenly formed in her mind. She narrowed her eyes, got in her car, and then told the driver, "Go to Shaw Group."The driver froze for a second, then quickly turned the steering wheel and turned the car around. Remembering what Cameron had told him earl
