All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 531 - Chapter 540

Maria's expression became cold as she turned around to face Eleanor. "What does that have to do with you?"Seeing that Maria was clearly offended, Eleanor smiled. "Don't be mad now, Maria. I'm only worried about your love life. When you and Richard broke up, that was mostly because of me. When you finally got engaged, I was honestly happy for you. Now that you have broken up… Of course I think it's regretful."Eleanor sounded sincere, her smile especially bright as she looked at Maria.Maria felt only more disgusted, her own smile turning even icier. She raised her eyebrow. "Why would you feel bad? If you really felt that regretful, you should have stayed where you were and spent your life repenting for what you did back in Sidonia. If I hadn't been lucky, I would already be dead because of you. You're a murderer. No matter how polished and glamorous you seem now, that's a fact you can't run from."Eleanor's expression shifted, her smile faltering.Maria was done with Elanor.

Richard watched Maria's indifferent expression and suddenly couldn't hold back anymore. "What do you think about all this?"Maria paused. "What do you mean?""I mean..." Richard stumbled, suddenly unsure how to speak. "Did you really break up with Cameron just for this revenge plan, or deep down, do you still...""Richard," Maria cut him off immediately with a darkened expression. He noticed the warning in her tone, so he pushed his lips and simply observed her.Maria said quietly, "I believe I need to remind you that whether this is about dealing with Eleanor or something else, I can work with you temporarily and even play-pretend. But I'll never have those feelings for you again. Don't get any ideas about us now that Cameron's out of the picture."After she finished, Richard said nothing. His hands slowly curled into fists, and he could not force out a single word. Maria saw he was really shaken, but she didn't feel the need to cheer him up. His feelings were not that import

Trent laid out his plan to Richard. After listening to it, Richard gave him a long, steady look. "Be careful. Don't let things get out of hand.""I won't. We're working together against Eleanor this time, so I can guarantee she won't have any chance to bounce back. Just trust me," Trent said excitedly.He wanted to go and put his plan into motion. Richard thought it over and nodded in agreement when he didn't see any obvious flaws.After Trent left, Richard stood up and walked to his desk. He then pulled open a drawer. Inside was a single photograph. Maria was smiling brightly at the camera, as if she had never known sadness in her entire life.Richard reached out and lightly brushed his fingers over the photo, whispering, "It feels like every hardship you've ever suffered in this life is because of me. Sometimes, I really don't know what the point of my life is..."Before the words had fully faded, there was a knock at the office door.Richard raised his eyes. "Come in."A

Willow knew that once Maria decided to do something, she would never listen to anyone. Deep down, though, he still felt this was just another way for Richard to play hard to get and pull her closer.He looked at Maria with a helpless expression and said, "You'd better go straight to his doctor and ask. If no one is willing to tell you anything, then stop digging. Whether Richard is sick or not has nothing to do with you."Maria pressed her lips and nodded absentmindedly, clearly not taking his words seriously.-The next day.Eleanor took Jonathan to the restaurant and waited. While Richard was on his way to meet them, Maria drove straight to the Shaw Group building.When she arrived, neither the security nor the reception did anything to stop her. Everyone there knew how important Maria was to Richard. No one else could come and go as freely as she did. In their eyes, she was the future wife of their CEO. Even so, the receptionist still remembered to notify Richard that Mari

Maria stayed quiet for a long time, a strange heaviness settling in her chest after hearing what Richard's assistant had to say.Knowing Richard, shouldn't he have grabbed this opportunity to tell her he was sick and try to get her pity? He could have used that to get closer to her. The fact that he had not tried to use his illness at all felt wrong.Knowing Richard as she did, if he was being quiet, it meant the illness was really bad, or she wasn't supposed to know something. No matter how she thought about it, she could not make sense of it. A faint panic began to set in.She frowned, staring at the assistant for a long while without speaking.The assistant spread his hands with a helpless look. "That's really everything I know. Please don't make things hard for me, alright? I honestly don't know anything else."Maria returned to herself and spoke thoughtfully. "Alright, I get it. Just pretend I never threatened you. You can go now."Only then did the assistant let out a sigh
