Chapter 289

Author: Where is Spring
While Trent was still deep in thought, Richard urged him in a low voice, "What are you standing there for? Make a move already."

"Alright, I'm going." Trent gave Richard a long, speechless look before steadying himself and hurried out.

Once he left, Richard withdrew his looks and sat down slowly.

Then, he stared outside the window at the view.

After a long while, he murmured under his breath, "Maria, you're always meant to be mine."

On Hector's side, he couldn't wait to share the good news with Maria. "Good news! Our move against Richard has already made real progress."

Maria looked at him, puzzled. "What did you do?"

Hector let out a proud little laugh. "You'd never guess! While he was too distracted to manage his company, I poached all his projects and partnerships."

Maria's expression changed.

"As soon as word spreads that all his partners backed out on him, no business in this city will work with him again," Hector said.

    "Get engaged in secret? Do you even know what you're talking about right now?" Maria shot back, finding his words ridiculous. She looked at Richard, sneering, her gaze full of contempt. All Richard could feel was how unbearable it was."Our relationship has been over for a very long time. What gives you the right to think that I have to report to you for anything I do? Why should I have to go through with you about my engagement? I never did anything in secret. I did everything out in the open. If I want to be with someone, I don't drag my feet and hide it. Got that?" Maria's cold words pushed Richard further into despair.She approached Cameron. Seeing that his injuries were only superficial, she finally let out a small sigh of relief.Then, she raised her hand and slapped Richard across the face with all her strength."Since you know that we're together, you shouldn't be here and disturb us. You shouldn't have laid a hand on my fiance. If you ruin my engagement party, I'll

    Cameron didn't want Maria to worry too, so he forced himself to ignore that uneasy feeling. With a nod and a smile, he went upstairs with her.They wandered through several stores. They didn't just buy heels, but also a few beautiful outfits.Cameron spent freely, buying several collections of jewelry for Maria. He even picked out pieces from Brooks Jewelry on purpose, just to show her that he could also support his future brother-in-law's business.They chatted and laughed. The thought of someone secretly watching them had slipped from their minds.Only when they walked out to the parking lot and were about to get into the car did they suddenly see someone.The moment she saw who it was, Maria stopped. She gritted her teeth, as if she didn't expect to run into Richard now.Richard's hands turned into fists. His face was dark as he stared at her. More precisely, he stared at Cameron standing beside her.Cameron sensed the danger at once and stepped in front of Maria. He asked co

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 432

    Maria always trusted her intuition and sixth sense about things like this. She had a strange feeling that someone was watching her from the shadows.She remembered feeling the same way earlier, when Richard had quietly followed her. She pressed her lips and looked around, her eyes sweeping every corner and trying to see who might be hiding nearby.Nothing. She saw no one, only strangers hurrying past. Not a single face she knew. Every face looked unfamiliar.Maybe she was just imagining things. It was the only thing that gave her any comfort.The driver rolled down the window and stuck his head out with a smile. "Are you waiting for someone? Are we leaving soon?"His words jolted Maria back to reality, and she nodded. "Let's go."She got in the car.As soon as she sat down, that feeling grew even stronger. Maria quickly looked around, trying to catch sight of whoever might be watching her. Once again, she didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The uneasiness stayed with he

    Jonathan winked at her with a teasing smile.Maria didn't expect Jonathan to accept her new life so calmly, including accepting the fact that she no longer loved Richard and that there was no reason for them to return together.For a moment, she couldn't tell what she was feeling. Of course, she couldn't give him an answer right away.When she thought about it carefully, what she felt for Cameron was mostly admiration and a sense of safety, as well as the feeling that he could give her a steady life. There was no flutter of excitement at all. She also had no idea what Cameron felt. If so many people married without love, then… What difference would it make if she were just another one of them?Maria was still lost in her thoughts when she felt Jonathan tug at her sleeve. She looked at him with a smile. "What's wrong?""We haven't heard from Dad in a long time. Is his treatment still not finished? Are there any results?" Jonathan asked as he looked up at Maria, looking at Maria

    A few days soon passed.The day of the engagement between Cameron and Maria drew closer.Maria still didn't know how Cameron had managed to persuade his parents. All she knew was that whenever he brought up the engagement with them on the phone over those days, the two of them raised no objections at all.From the very beginning, she had made one thing clear. Whether it was for an engagement or a marriage, she wouldn't try to please the elders in the family who didn't respect her.Cameron had taken her hand and answered seriously, "They're my parents. If they need anything, I'll take care of it. You are building a life with me, not with them."Maria was very satisfied with a boyfriend like Cameron. She also believed that no matter what happened in the future, there wouldn't be any real conflict between the two of them. Even living together with Jonathan shouldn't cause any trouble.The dress Cameron had prepared for her arrived the night before the engagement. It was a gorgeous p

    Cameron paused after Maria asked about his parents. "If I can talk them into coming to our engagement party, that would be the best. But if they refuse and still won't accept you, why should we tell them about something that's between us?"His words were blunt, but they wrapped Maria in a deep sense of guarantee.Maria smiled slowly. "I understand. I hope you can keep your word."They looked at each other and smiled.Cameron drove Maria home quickly afterward.As soon as they walked in, Willow came over to ask how it went.Cameron hesitated, ready to tell the truth, but Maria cut in first. "Meeting his parents went very smoothly. We decided to get married," she said. "Seriously?" Willow was both shocked and delighted. "How did things move this fast? You just got together, and now you're suddenly getting engaged?""This visit was mainly to talk about the engagement. Since there were no problems, we had decided to get engaged," Maria said, covering for Cameron from beginning
