While Maria was in the restroom, Jonathan took this opportunity to ask Cameron, "Are you and my mom really dating now?"Cameron smiled faintly. He disliked Richard in particular, but he felt no hostility toward Jonathan at all. With a casual smile, he said, "Of course I'm dating your mom. Are you feeling uncomfortable or upset? Do you feel like someone's competing with your dad for her?"Jonathan froze for a moment and quickly shook his head. "It's not like that. I won't dislike you just because of this, and I don't think Mom has to be with Dad. I was just asking."Although Jonathan sounded as if he didn't care, Cameron could tell he was only pretending to be relaxed. No matter what happened, children always hoped their parents could be happily together.Thinking of this, Cameron looked at Jonathan seriously.He said slowly, "No matter what, I want you to understand this. I won't back down, and I won't give up. I'm going to build a proper relationship with Maria until she's read

"Your Aunt Catelyn cares so much about you, and you're standing here smearing her reputation? If things were really like you said and that she treated your mom badly, then why have I never known about it?" Richard said. Hearing this, Maria felt a tight, indescribable discomfort rising in her chest. She looked coldly at Richard and at the way he refused to believe his own son and believed only in himself, and she remembered everything that had happened in the past.Maria still couldn't hold herself back and said icily, "Of course you never knew. The only reason Catelyn can live such an easy, comfortable life is because of you. If you had ever seen her true colors, do you really think she'd still be living such an easy life?"Before Richard could say anything, she openly mocked him again. "But I think it wouldn't matter even if you did know. In your heart, no one is more important than your precious family, not even the wife who gave you your son."After she finished, Maria didn

Maria's expression grew colder after news of Sidonia came in. She narrowed her eyes and made a big decision.Over the next few days, Maria had no idea what was happening at the hospital. Strangely, Jonathan didn't contact her either. She figured Jonathan might already have been discharged to rest and recover, so she didn't think much of it.Until two days later.The plane Eleanor was on landed.As soon as she got off and was about to greet the driver she had arranged and head to her destination, several men in black suddenly surrounded her. Every one of them stared at her with cold, vicious eyes.The driver was so scared, he didn't dare pick her up. He stepped on the gas and drove away at once.After the car sped off, Eleanor stood there facing the fierce-looking men. She let out a short laugh, her expression mocking."Maria sent you, right? As soon as she found out I survived and got out, she must have been so angry that she couldn't sleep." Eleanor folded her arms and smiled.

Richard waved his hand. A few of his bodyguards stepped forward to release Eleanor.Cameron's men frowned, itching to move. Seeing this, Cameron shot them a look, signaling them not to act.Watching Eleanor being freed, Richard let out a short, cold laugh. "Go on then. Tell me what kind of personal grudge you have."Maria answered calmly, "It's simple. My friend Robin Bell is a painter. A few years ago, after she retired, Eleanor impersonated her and worked under her name in Sidonia. Even after she was exposed, she refused to change and came back again with a new identity as some up-and-coming artist. I couldn't stand it and wanted to teach her a lesson, that's all.""No, that's not it! The Robin Bell thing is in the past. She already exposed me back then. Now, she's just jealous that I can stay by your side!" Eleanor tried her best to make Richard believe her.Richard stared hard at Maria, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "You yourself know better than anyone why you went after

Eleanor wasn't frightened at all.She only frowned a little and glanced around in boredom, letting the psychologist ask tiresome test questions and answering every one of them to make her look as mentally unstable as possible.By the time Richard rushed over, the psychologist had already finished the session with her. He came out with a serious expression and sighed.Richard paused and looked at him, puzzled. "What are you doing? Why are you sighing?"The psychologist showed a helpless look and spoke quietly. "Based on the initial assessment, she's in a very bad mental state. I'm not sure whether she has suffered some kind of shock. I asked her what, but she refused to say anything. This incident has likely triggered something inside of her."After hearing this, Richard frowned deeply and didn't speak for a long time.Seeing this, the psychologist didn't say anything else and only added softly, "I suggest you don't let her experience anything like this in the future again. Only
