《A Regret too Late》全部章節：第 321 章 - 第 330 章

"No one knows where she is now. You won't be able to track her down the way you did last time. Got that?" Hector said on purpose, every word meant to sting.Richard's face went even paler. He shook his head and muttered, "No. Maria would never leave just like that. I'll go to Willow. He has to know where she is!"Before he could move, Hector cut him off. "Last time you found her by following Mr. Brooks. Do you really think she'd let that happen again? Save your effort!"Hector was about to leave.Richard narrowed his eyes at his back. "Wait. You called her your teacher. What exactly is your relationship with her? Spill it out!"At this point, there was nothing left for Hector to hide. He looked back at Richard. "Maria's my teacher, and I'm her student. She hid her identity and lived as Marina as a front, and she also took me on as her student. I pretended to be her boyfriend just to get rid of you. I don't regret the price I paid for that at all, though. At least I finally saw f

Mr. Carson was speechless for a moment, then snorted sharply. "Don't even think about it! Even if you want to stay, you need Mr. Brook's permission. Come on, I'm taking you upstairs to see him right now!"Mr. Carson rolled his eyes irritably as he dragged Jonathan along with him. Although his tone was harsh, he slowed his steps as he led Jonathan up the stairs.Halfway up, Jonathan's pace slowed. He clutched his knee and dropped down onto a step. "Wait, Mr. Butler… Can we slow down a bit?"Mr. Carson folded his arms and looked at Jonathan coolly. "What is it, boy? We've barely gone up ten steps, and you're already tired? Is something wrong with you?"Jonathan's eyes flashed, and he slowly rolled up his pant leg.When Mr. Carson saw the thick scars on both his knees, he gasped. "What on earth happened to you?""I thought my mom died, so I kept kneeling in front of her tombstone," Jonathan said quietly as he looked up with earnest eyes. "My knees hurt. Now, I can't walk too far o

After hearing the plan from Richard, Trent stared in shock. "You're sending Jonathan in to be a spy? Will that…even work?""Why not? Jonathan's the one person who can make adults lower their guard. If Willow really knows where she is, having Jonathan inside that house twenty-four hours a day will eventually reveal something," Richard said.He leaned back in his chair, explaining his intention slowly. "I can't find Maria's whereabouts now. Wherever she is, she must have planned it in advance, somewhere I'd never think of. All I can do is wait for the right moment."Trent frowned. "What moment?"Richard narrowed his eyes but didn't answer. The truth was, he wasn't even sure himself.Maybe, if he stopped pushing Maria during this one month, Jonathan could ease the tension at the Brooks estate. Maybe Jonathan and Willow would slowly mend their relationship, and Willow would finally be willing to speak up for Richard.If enough time passed, and Maria thought about him and Jonathan

Seeing Cameron being so relaxed and treating the place like his home, Maria rubbed her forehead and felt a little helpless. She sat down across from him.Cameron peeled the shells off a shrimp and placed it on her plate.Maria picked up her fork and studied him, curious. "You came all the way out here and cut off from the world... What about your company? Are you just ignoring everything back there?""The company is already being handled by my team," he replied calmly. "I only need to attend five meetings a week and listen to their daily reports. I can relax and still make money."Maria clicked her tongue. "Don't let my brother hear you say that. Our entire company is swamped with work right now, and here you are relaxing on an island. He'll be jealous."Cameron raised a brow. "That's all you heard in what I just said?"She blinked, not understanding what he was trying to say. "What else was I supposed to hear?"Cameron gave a helpless little laugh. "If someone decided to stay

Maria looked at Cameron for a long time before finally smiling. "Alright, alright," she said helplessly to Cameron. "There's nothing I can do about that. Just treat this as your vacation. I hope you don't get so used to life here that you refuse to leave.""That works for me. I can keep you company for the rest of my life. Even if I died here, I'd have no regrets," Cameron replied, eyes bright.He wasn't wearing his usual black business suit, but a soft gray casual sweater that made his features look even more handsome. Maria thought back to the very first time they met, to how restrained he was back then. Had he already realized at first glance that she was Linda then?Deep in her heart, Maria couldn't help marveling at that. So there really was someone in this world who could recognize an idol with a new identity just through music…At that moment, Scarlet came hurrying over with a satellite phone in her hand, her expression unsettled. "Ms. Mari."Maria turned her head. "Wha
