《A Regret too Late》全部章節：第 311 章 - 第 320 章

After hearing that Richard wanted to see Cameron, Trent immediately realized how serious things were becoming. Richard hadn't even managed to win Maria back, and now, another suitor had appeared?This made things even more problematic. He sent the meeting request right away.Meanwhile, Lane Group seemed to have been waiting specifically for Richard's request. His appointment was approved instantly.That same evening, Richard went to the Lane Group's headquarters. As soon as he arrived, he saw a figure already waiting there to receive him.Richard narrowed his eyes and sat across from Cameron."Mr. Lane, you sure know how to get things done. My issue is with Onyx Group, but you got involved without being asked. There aren't many people in this world who meddle in others' business without a good reason, and I have nothing against you. Why are you doing this?"Richard's presence filled the room, but Cameron didn't back down.Cameron spread his hands and said, "Well, I'm sorry a

It was for that very reason that the Shaw Group had been able to run safely and steadily for so many years. They owed it entirely to Richard's hacking skills.Even so, Trent didn't believe that Cameron Lane truly was frightened or intimidated. This was his territory, after all. He was deeply rooted here for years.As Trent was thinking this, the phone suddenly rang. Richard picked it up. "How's Lane Group doing over there? Has Cameron taken the initiative to contact me?""The Lane Group has hired a large number of hackers to deal with their system problems. As for Mr. Lane himself..." The man in charge of tailing Cameron gulped, suddenly unsure how to continue.Richard's eyes darkened. His voice turned cold. "What about him?"The man decided to simply bite the bullet. "He went to see Marina. The two of them are in her apartment right now." After listening, Richard's expression gradually became colder. His hands slowly clenched into a fist, an icy glint in his eyes."Good. Ver

Maria stood up in exhaustion as she heard the knock on her door. She went to open the door, only to find Richard standing there after he had left earlier.Maria frowned, but before she could speak, Richard started first. "You already found out what I did to Cameron, right?"Maria paused for a moment."If you know, then stop seeing him." Richard's tone was heavy-handed and controlling.Maria's eyes narrowed, her voice cold. "If you plan to hurt everyone around me just to force me back to your side, you're making a big mistake. I won't give in. I'll only grow to hate you more."At that, Richard's lips turned in a faint smile. "It doesn't matter. Hate me if you want, but I can't stand anyone being near you. I don't even know what to do anymore."He smiled faintly, but his eyes were filled with a dense grief, as if he had fallen into complete despair. He continued, stressing each word, "I wanted to take things slowly, too. To wait and see if one day, you'd willingly come back to

Willow hadn't even finished his sentence when he noticed the unreadable look in Maria's eyes. He paused, suddenly uneasy as he asked, "Mari, what's wrong?"Only then did he remember that she had said she was going to use the final option to free herself from Richard.Maria looked at him for a long time before speaking. "The reason I'm back is to pack my things. I'll be leaving soon."Willow stared at her in disbelief. "So suddenly?"Maria gave a faint smile. "I finally realized I can't keep dragging others into this. Haven't you noticed, Will? In the end, Richard will always target the people close to me."Willow was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Alright. I'll arrange for someone to take you away. But you were supposed to leave in a month, after the competition. You even said you wanted to see the result. Wouldn't it be a shame to leave at this moment?""I think so too, but I can't stand it any longer. Who knows what he'll do next to hurt me or the people around me?

Maria savored the moment, the satisfaction of watching Richard sink into despair. It felt incredible. "Listen. Whether I'm Marina or Maria, you're not included in any of my new plans in life!"Her words cut straight into Richard's heart, but along with the pain came a strange rush of relief. He had thought he would never see Maria again. He had thought that all his guesses and certainty had been nothing but wishful thinking. He was afraid that Maria and Marina were two different people, that his wife had truly disappeared from this world.Now, it seemed his stubbornness had not been for nothing.Richard let out a slow breath and forced himself to calm down. He walked over and held her hand tightly. "I know I've always been the one making the mistakes, and I've done so many things that hurt you. I know I have no right to ask you to get back together with me. I just want you to know my heart will always belong to you. If you can't forgive me now, I can wait, but I'll never let y
