Janet made it sound like Maria had done something shameful.Maria took a deep breath. She hadn't expected to run into Janet and hear the latter say that. There was a stubborn glint in her eyes as she said, "Nothing happened between me and Richard. We're innocent. Please don't accuse me of things I haven't done.""Accuse you?" Janet acted as if she had heard a joke. She waved her hand, her eyes full of disdain. "Fine. I don't want to waste time on this nonsense. You can leave now. I want to talk to my son alone."Cameron frowned and walked over, lowering his voice. "Mom...""I know. You think I have a problem with Maria and don't support your relationship with her, but I'm only looking out for you as your mother. I need to talk to you. Tell her to leave right now," Janet cut him off harshly. Her eyes were firm, as if she wouldn't back down until Maria left.Cameron frowned even more deeply and said nothing.Watching the stalemate between them, Maria felt a sudden heaviness in he

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

"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

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

Cameron sounded like he didn't care at all.Maria, however, felt something inside her chest that she wasn't sure of.If Cameron really didn't care, he wouldn't have paused for a short moment before every answer. Yet, he had still chosen to invite Richard.It wasn't that he was unconcerned. He just didn't want Jonathan to see him as petty. Cameron had said before that he wanted to get along with Jonathan.As she thought about all this, Maria had mixed feelings. She couldn't even tell what she was exactly feeling. She pressed her lips and quietly listened while Jonathan and Cameron exchanged a few more words. Then she took the phone, stood up, and went upstairs.As soon as she reached the upper floor, Maria said, "If you don't feel comfortable about it, I can tell Jonny no. Don't worry. He won't blame you or anything like that.""It's fine," Cameron cut her off with a light, easy tone. "No matter what Jonny thinks, I know he simply wants to invite Richard to the engagement. There
