Rivas stomped his foot in frustration and asked, "Why? Ria, why?"Maria smiled at Andrew and said, "Because he took me in!""Great!"Old Mrs. Lesser exclaimed excitedly and looked at Maria admiringly.Maria had told Old Mrs. Lesser before that she came to see Andrew not to become a daughter of the Lesser family or for their wealth but simply to find her father whom she had shared joys and sorrows with for over twenty years.At that time, Old Mrs. Lesser didn't believe her because the Lesser family was like a delicious cake and anyone, whether related or not, wanted a piece.For example, Alexander.But at that moment, Old Mrs. Lesser finally believed that Maria was sincere. By choosing Andrew as her master over Rivas, Maria showed that what she cared about most was the bond between her and Andrew.Her remark explained everything.Since she couldn't be Andrew's biological daughter, she would become his apprentice and continue to treat him as her father, which was her deepest desire.Old
Billionaire substitute bride Competition camp
When Mia woke up and learned from Eva that Andrew planned to accept Maria as his apprentice, her hatred for Maria deepened.Just the thought of Maria frequently interacting with Andrew and going to the Lesser family's mansion made her furious."Why? Why her?!"Mia sat on the bed, her face pale. There were shocking bruises on her fair neck. She pounded the bed with all her might like crazy."Bitch! Who does she think she is?! She's just a scheming woman! She wants to enter the Lesser family in this way!"Eva stood aside watching Mia indifferently and said casually, "Yeah, Mom and Dad seem to like her. If she becomes Andrew's apprentice, she will probably have a place in the Lesser family."A sly smile appeared on her lips, "Mimi, what you did today has disappointed Mom and Dad. I'm afraid that once Maria becomes Andrew's apprentice, you won't have any position in the Lesser family."As soon as Eva finished, Mia’s angry eyes instantly turned bloodshot. She raised her head abruptly and s

In the following days, Maria lay in bed obediently while Andrew did his physical therapy exercises with all his might. Mia practiced the piano every day, hoping to improve her skills before going to the training camp.Rivas had already left Beijing and headed to his next stop on his global tour.What happened at the concert in Beijing didn't spread at all.Firstly, Rivas cared a lot about his reputation and naturally didn't want that incident to become a big deal.Secondly, even if the Lesser family didn't like Mia, she still represented the Lesser family. So, the Lesser family cooperated with Rivas and used all means to suppress the matter.Everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened. The only way to prove that the incident did happen was for Maria to come to the Lesser family's mansion with Charles as agreed.This time, they received treatment different from last time.Last time, they had to meet Eva's conditions and pass the Lesser family's inspection to enter the man
Billionaire substitute bride Eric Lesser
In the house, Old Master Lesser, Old Mrs. Lesser, Eva, and Andrew were all present, and even Eric Lesser, Andrew's younger brother who had rarely shown himself before, was there.Andrew would accept Maria as his apprentice today. The fact that so many important figures from the Lesser family were present showed that it was a big event for the family.Maria and Charles followed the butler in. When she saw so many people, she showed no signs of embarrassment on her face. Instead, she politely bowed to Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser and then greeted Andrew and Eva.She didn't know Eric, but she still politely greeted him.Eric and Andrew had some similarities in their facial features, but Eric's bone structure was visibly bigger than Andrew's, making him sturdy and imposing. However, despite his age and constant socializing, he hadn't gained weight. He looked slightly younger as a result.He casually glanced at Maria and then his gaze fell on Charles face. A subtle glimmer passed
Billionaire substitute bride Don’t be cocky
Two days later, at the airport.Charles looked at Alexander, who kept glancing at Maria while standing beside Mia, with a frown. "We are going to a training camp. Alexander, what are you doing here?"Alexander casually put his hands in his pockets and gave Charles a glance before smiling. "Charles, if it's okay for you to accompany Ria, why can't I accompany Mimi?"They were the two women's husbands. Logically, neither of them should be able to enter the training camp. They could only go in during the one-hour visiting period each day.Charles' relationship with Maria was well-known by many.As for Alexander, he married Mia for money and power, so he would definitely not miss her. His presence at the airport raised suspicions about his intentions.Luna looked at Charles and then at Alexander, speechless.This was the first time she had heard that family members could be brought to a training camp!Those who didn't know they were going to a training camp would think they were going o
Billionaire substitute bride Private jet
Mia was dumbfounded!The plane they were on today was the private plane of the Lesser family.If it wasn't for Old Mrs. Lesser doting on Andrew, they would never have been allowed to take a private plane to attend the training camp. As for Mia, she was just basking in Andrew's glory. She couldn't even dream of using the Lesser family's private plane, let alone see it.But Linda had her own private plane?!After hanging up the phone, Linda looked at Mia smugly and turned to Maria, "Maria, why don't you take my private jet? It will only take half an hour at most, and we won't be late."Maria blinked in surprise. She thought that the Lesser Family was already a top-notch prestigious family, but she didn't expect that Linda was rich beyond her dreams."Linda, we agreed to go together, and the plane is waiting. It's not necessary to go to so much trouble..."Andrew thought that Mia was being unreasonable. Linda had just arrived and didn't provoke her, but she lost her temper. He took a st
Billionaire substitute bride Elimination round
After more than ten hours, they finally arrived. Outside the airport, there were ten identical Maseratis parked.As Charles and the others walked out, a man leading the group immediately ran over and stood in front of Charles, respectfully saying, "Young Master Smith, the cars are ready."Andrew glanced at the ten Maseratis there and chuckled. "Charles, it seems that you were indeed low-key before."Charles held Maria’s hand and chuckled softly, "I've been in this country for two years. It's not worth mentioning."Alexander's eyes widened.The license plates were not ordinary. If it were him, he would have shown off everywhere. Charles, however, remained so humble.Humph!Charles was just ostentatious!Charles invited everyone to get in the cars. With ten cars there, naturally, there were two people per car.Sitting in the car, Maria looked outside at the swiftly passing scenery like a curious baby."Brussels is really different from Beijing with distinctive architecture and greenery.

Linda sat down on the bed, pouting discontentedly. "You're right, but they could have at least chosen a cleaner hotel. I thought only my room stinks, but I can smell something in your room too.""Hmm?"Maria sniffed hard and shook her head in confusion. "I don't smell anything."Linda glanced at Maria and lay down on Maria’s bed with her toy in her arms. "I have a naturally sensitive sense of smell. I can smell even the slightest weird odor."She suddenly chuckled. "Maria, you know what? Back when I was in high school, our classroom was right next to the bathroom. It was torture for me every day during class because of the smell. It was so sour and it came in waves..."Maria lay down next to her and turned her head to look at her. "How could it come in waves?""Geez."Linda couldn't help but cover her nose. "Every time someone went in, I would smell it..."She turned her head and looked at Maria with a frown. "Wasn't it coming in waves?"An image immediately flashed in Maria's mind of

After leaving the banquet courtyard, Maria and Charles got into a sightseeing car and headed towards the Lesser family gate.Along the way, Charles remained silent, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his face looked terrifyingly solemn.Maria also didn't say anything. She held his hand tightly as if she wanted to give him her strength.Even when they got into their own car, Charles didn't say a word. He just gently rested his head on Maria’s shoulder, like an injured child.**********Back at the villa, Maria fetched a bottle of red wine, opened it, and took out two glasses. She tilted her head at Charles."Let's go and drink in the room."She smiled and raised the wine bottle in her hand. Charles noticed and finally relaxed the corners of his tightly pressed lips.He stood up and laughed softly, "How is one bottle enough? You are never drunk after a thousand cups."Maria looked at him speechlessly, seeing him take out two more bottles of red wine. She felt like things wer
Billionaire substitute bride Goodbye
Eva had been with Eric for more than twenty years, and she had no doubt about his feelings for her. Moreover, Eric always took good care of her and loved her deeply. If there was any rift between them, it was Charles.For the past twenty years, she had always been cautious in protecting their relationship, never inquiring about any news about Charles. That's why they had been living in harmony, until Mia came to Beijing. She had started investigating Charles' affairs under the old lady's orders.And since then, she felt that Eric had become more and more distant from her, a distance that she couldn't close no matter what she did.Now that Charles had come to Beijing, she had to make a choice between Eric and Charles. She didn't want to, but she had to…"Eric…"Her voice trembled as she pleaded, looking at him. "Can't you…?""No!"Those two resolute words instantly crushed the only hope in Eva heart.On one side was her husband, and on the other was her biological son, and she owed C

David and Hamya exchanged glances as they heard this. It was as if they had made a decision. They immediately said in unison, "We want to go too!""Huh?"Charles looked at them with confusion.David patted his stomach and smiled at Charles, "Young Master Smith, I wonder if your company is in need of pianists? What do you think of me?"Hamya chuckled and nodded, "I think I can do it too. Young Master Smith, please consider signing both of us. We don't ask for much, just a chance to perform in top music halls."David was worried that Charles would disagree, so he put on an even more sincere smile. "Ah yeah, haha... We just feel that Patrick is not enough on his own. With Hamya and I joining, after all, we have better qualifications than him. When the three great piano masters embark on anglobal tour together, and with Maria and Linda, it will be twice as successful.""Exactly!"Hamya laughed happily, "Young Master Smith, a single concert takes too long, Patrick won't be able to handle i

The two of them walked onto the stage and sat down at the piano. Maria raised her head and exchanged a glance with Linda, who placed her hands on the keys.The young pianists were curious about what music Maria and Linda would play. This was the second round of the training camp's open competition, and they usually wouldn't get to hear it.Suddenly, the piano played a melancholic melody, carrying a touch of elegance in the air, instantly striking at people's hearts!"This is..."Some couldn't remain calm instantly. "Butterfly Lovers?!""Is that possible? Butterfly Lovers arranged as a piano piece?""Yes, everyone knows that Butterfly Lovers is best played on the guqin, or the zheng would also work. It's my first time hearing it played on the piano.""Hey, no, this version of Butterfly Lovers has been adapted for piano. It suits the instrument perfectly while still preserving the essence of the original piece. It's absolutely refreshing!"After a few seconds of discussion, an unexpect

Two days later, Maria and Linda arrive at the venue of the exchange conference in their finest attire.They hand over their invitation cards and wait for the security guard to check them.Suddenly, a mocking voice comes from beside them, "Oh oh, who is this? Linda!? Am I mistaken?"The one speaking is Linda manager, and standing next to her is the pianist signed by Linda economic company."Aria, you're not mistaken, isn't that Linda herself?"Hearing their voices, Linda's face darkens. She turns her head and glares at them, "Aria, your eyesight is really not good, you can't even recognize me. You should go to the hospital to have your eyes checked."Aria originally wanted to embarrass Linda, but she didn't expect her to retort so sharply. She immediately gets furious."Linda, the company didn't give you an invitation card. Tell me, where did you steal it from?""Hehe..."Linda raises her chin triumphantly, holding Maria's arm. "Do I need the company to give me one? Just look at who's
Billionaire substitute bride Great!
After arriving in Beijing, the feeling of uneasiness never appeared again, and Maria felt an indescribable relief.Charles had sent someone to take Andrew back to the Lesser family, while Patrick and Linda followed Charles and Maria back to their villa.Originally, Andrew had strongly invited Patrick to come back to the Lesser family with him, but Patrick knew that the Lesser family was big and complicated, so he used the excuse of being with Linda and followed Charles.***********On the third day, when Luna returned from Brussels, she went directly to Maria’s place and looked at Linda, her expression becoming more flattering."Linda, I heard that your contract with your previous agency is about to expire, right?"Maria sat next to Linda, holding a big doll in her hands, feeling very angry."Yes, they told me before that if I could achieve good results in the training camp this time, they would sign me for another ten years and give me all the resources. But just when I announced my

At this moment, Maria had already packed up and left the hotel with Charles, Linda, Andrew, and others.On the way to the airport, Linda still couldn't understand and turned back to Maria, "Ria, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, we can still stay in the training camp, right?"Of course, Maria knew that if she returned to the training camp now, everyone would treat her like a deity.Just kidding, being able to decide the life and death of their teacher, they would definitely flatter and serve Maria obediently.Maria shook her head, "Actually, I have already achieved my goal. Linda, if you want to go back, you can go back, no need to accompany me.""Hey!"Linda casually waved her hand, "Without you here, why should I go back? Besides, I have hugged your thigh, and you have hugged Master Smith's thigh. Am I still afraid of not being able to reach the pinnacle of the international piano world?"She said it so casually, as if she was joking. But Maria could tell that she still f
Billionaire substitute bride Helpless
Maria, so smart, why couldn't she understand what they meant?She smiled and turned to shout inside the house, "Honey, it turns out they are looking for you." Charles was inside, and he had heard everything at the door clearly. The girls had looked down on him before and said he was weak, but now they all came to beg him with a straight face. It was really funny.He remained silent for a while before saying, "Ria, in our home, I make the major decisions and you make the minor ones. But in my eyes, besides you, nothing else is a major matter. So, you make the decisions."The girls outside, "..."Didn't that mean that Maria would be in charge of everything in the house?They felt a toothache and couldn't believe they were caught off guard by this unexpected situation.Maria shrugged and looked at them again.Originally, they came to apologize to Maria as a pretense, hoping that she would persuade Charles, but now, the initiative was completely in her hands, and they had to lower their
Billionaire substitute bride Forgiveness
Maria was not foolish. Why did her reputation stink so much? Was it only because of the ambiguous relationship between her and Charles at that banquet?Just that one time was not enough to make everyone dislike and envy her.Lucy's face was extremely embarrassed, but at this moment, she had already lost all confidence in front of Maria and could only cry helplessly."Maria, I really know I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Please...""Lucy, your intentions were truly wicked. You even used Rivata as a weapon. Honestly, I admire you for that."Even while saying this, Maria's expression remained calm, her tone as if chatting with a close friend."You, alone, have bewitched the hearts of all the girls in the training camp. You treated others as pawns to sacrifice for your own gain. Wasn't your goal to drive me out of the camp? Congratulations, you achieved your goal. You should be happy, so why are you crying?"When Maria said this, the other girls immediately began pondering.After thinkin
