Semua Bab A Regret too Late: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Trent opened his mouth, realizing that there wasn't much he could say to Willow. Finally, he said helplessly, "I'm not trying to get every last detail out of this. I just wanted to know what happened. Did you really have to talk to me like that?"Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Willow's eyes. He gritted his teeth. "Enough! Stop pushing my sister to help you find Richard. He's reckless enough to have already hurt Mari once. Me not doing anything to him is already the biggest mercy he is going to get. If he's dead set on wrecking Mari's life now, then I'll just have to make him pay the price."With that, Willow hung up.Maria was stunned. She had never heard her brother speak like this before. It was like he had lost his mind and was ready to do whatever was necessary. He used to be such a rational man. How did he become like this?A flash of confusion appeared in Maria's eyes. She didn't know what to do.Trent grew anxious. He didn't understand why she was reacting i

Maria put the test report away and looked straight ahead at the distant scenery before saying to Trent, "Firstly, congratulations on getting a girlfriend. Secondly, get ready."Trent froze for a moment. Only then did he realize they were almost at Auster Island. He sat up straight, pulled himself together, and braced for what was about to happen.As the helicopter slowly descended, they saw Willow up ahead with several bodyguards, clearly finished with whatever he had come to do and ready to leave by helicopter.When Willow saw Maria and Trent, his expression darkened, and he walked over. He was clearly upset about them being here. "What are you doing here?"Maria stepped forward. "Where's Richard? Stop locking him up and let him go. I have something to say to him."Willow didn't do what she asked and simply frowned, saying in disappointment, "What are you doing, Mari? You know he'll never give up bothering you. Why do you have to get yourself involved? I already took care of ever

Maria gave Richard a mocking look and said quietly, "We're completely over. You should have understood that long ago. Did it really have to wait until I was pregnant with another man's child before you would finally let this go?"Maria felt that after saying this much, Richard would be able to give up no matter how unwilling he was. She shook off his hand and turned to leave.The very next second, Richard grabbed her wrist again.Outside, Willow and Trent exchanged a look. From what they had just heard, they understood what Maria meant if they tried to stand in Richard's place. With words that cruel, Richard and Maria were most certainly done for. Yet from the way Richard was acting, he still didn't seem to grasp that.While they were still staring at each other in confusion, Richard said, "I told you already. As long as I'm alive, I'll never hand you over to anyone else! We lived together for seven years, Mari. How many sets of seven years does a person have in this life to

Maria cried in front of Richard, her whole body trembling, her face covered in tears that the wind dried almost as soon as they rolled down her cheeks.She had no idea if this would work on Richard. She had already tried everything she could think of. Richard had always been like this. No matter if she hit him, yelled at him, or tried to provoke him, he still refused to leave.On the way here, Maria thought that if she showed him a firm attitude that they would never get back together and a test report saying she was pregnant with another man's child, he would finally back off.Yet, this madman was even more stubborn than she had imagined.Since there was no way to threaten or tempt him with anything from the outside and make him truly leave, she could only fall back on self-harm to move him.If even this failed, she would probably never find any way to deal with Richard properly. She would be trapped by him for the rest of her life.Maria slowly let out a sigh as the thought cro

"Alright. I'll think about it and give you an answer soon."With that answer from Maria, Richard knew it was settled. There was no other path between them. If Maria insisted on being with Cameron, then she had to accept the condition he had set. Otherwise, they both knew very well that if they couldn't be friends, he would keep trying to be her lover.Maria turned and nodded at Trent, telling him to take Richard away. Only then did she leave with Willow.As soon as the car door closed and she was sure no one outside could hear, Willow asked hurriedly, "What just happened out there? Did you promise him something? Is that why he suddenly calmed down?"When she looked at how worried he was, Maria had no idea how to answer. After a while, she let out a helpless sigh and nodded. "Yeah. I've already made up my mind. I forced Richard to budge earlier by saying I'd rather die. He agreed not to interfere with the engagement, but he has one condition. He wants to remain friends. He say
