The Miller Family had been having a tough time these days. Glory Group canceled their cooperation and even the other companies they had previously formed good relationships with suddenly canceled the remaining orders.Samuel begged for help everywhere, but those businessmen's attitudes were resolute.He was so frustrated that he almost pulled out his hair. He couldn't believe Charles would be so hard on them this time, leaving no room for the Miller Family to survive.Daniel was also furious. He sat in the living room looking at Samuel with a cold smile. "We're in a lot of trouble. It's all because of Mia!"Samuel was angry at his mockery, but he couldn't refute it.Ever since Lily saw Maria that day, she dared not stay at home. She left early in the morning and returned late at night. However, Samuel had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't come home either.After visiting Mia, Lily packed her things and finally cautiously pushed open the door.As soon as Samuel saw her
Maria had been busy with her thesis for the past few days and had been working late into the night. After Maid Heather knocked on the door and gently pushed it open, she saw Maria studying hard and smiled with satisfaction, "Mrs. Smith, Samuel brought Lily and Daniel here. Young Master Smith wants you to meet them.""Huh?"Maria was momentarily puzzled. She could understand why Lily and Samuel were here, but she couldn't understand why Daniel was here.But she didn't ask further and stood up to follow Maid Heather out.To know someone's purpose, one must first meet and understand them.In the living room.Charles sat on the main sofa while Samuel, Lily, and Daniel stood in the center of the room, none daring to sit.Although they were also from a prestigious family, there was a distinction between regular prestigious families and super prestigious families.Charles' family belonged to the latter category, and the Miller Family was nothing to him.When Maria came out, she saw this co
Maria frowned, unsure why Daniel suddenly brought up this matter. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Yes."Daniel sneered and chuckled softly, "Although you are now married to Young Master Smith and lack nothing, it wouldn't be fair for you to let others benefit from what is yours, right?"Those words struck a chord with Maria.Honestly, she didn't simply dislike Mia. She even held some resentment towards her.Maria fell silent, and Daniel continued, "Ms. Dench calls the shots in the Miller Family. I remember the engagement gifts from the Smith Family were all given to her. As for whether she gave any to Mia, I'm not sure."Lily's heart skipped a beat and she instinctively spoke up, "No! How could I give them to her? She spends money quickly. If I didn't keep them, she would have squandered it within two years!"Daniel just smiled and remained silent, but his gaze towards Maria became more playful.Maria realized what he meant, nodded, and stared into Lily's face. "Mom, sinc
Lily almost spat out a mouthful of blood!Five million was nothing to her?How ridiculous!Lily wanted to throw a tantrum, but seeing Charles' cold gaze and the way he defended Maria, she knew that if she made a scene in the Smith Family's villa, she would have no way out.Although five million wasn't a small amount, compared to the future of the Miller Family, it really was nothing.At that moment, Samuel kicked Lily, pushing her to agree!Lily's eyes lit up. Did Samuel kicking her mean that he would help her with the money?If Samuel would give her the money, she wouldn't have to worry anymore. She waved her hand directly and said, "Alright! I'll give it to you!"After saying that, she stood up from the ground. "But Ria, five million is not a small amount. I need a few days to gather the money."Indeed, no matter how wealthy a family was, it took some time to come up with five million all at once.Maria didn't make things difficult for her. She got up with a smile and walked over t
After being driven out of the Miller Family, Mia still lived a comfortable life thanks to Lily's support.In the morning, she woke up naturally, took a bath in the bathroom, and then sat in the rooftop garden with a glass of red wine, leisurely enjoying the natural scenery.Suddenly, she heard footsteps downstairs. Her heart raced, and she unconsciously stood up and rushed downstairs. Seeing the men in suits rushing in, she asked angrily, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?""Your house?"Tom looked at Mia, who was only wearing pajamas with her messy hair hanging behind her. It seemed like she was living a comfortable life. He sneered, "Humph... Mia, this is Young Master Smith’s property. Although it was later given to the Miller Family as an engagement gift, it's not something that anyone can enjoy!""Why can't I?"Mia raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Those engagement gifts are all mine, and I can use them however I want!""Haha..."The men nearby couldn't help but
Mia was thrown out, and she wanted to rush back in to collect her belongings. But when she saw Tom's fierce face, she was too scared to go back in.She was really in a miserable situation now!Luckily, her phone was in her bag. She immediately took it out and dialed Lily's number, wanting to know what was going on.However, the call went through, but no one answered.She refused to give up and dialed Lily's number again. The same thing happened...How could this be?!At this moment, Mia was genuinely scared. When Samuel kicked her out of the Miller Family's villa, she was not this frightened because she knew that even if she was kicked out of the Miller Family, Lily would still care about her.But now, Lily actually ignored her calls. That meant... Lily didn't want her anymore!Boo-hoo...Thinking of this, Mia cried helplessly. Even her hand holding the phone began trembling.She had tried calling Luna, but Luna never answered her calls. She desperately called over and over again, b
As soon as Lily left, Maria expression turned cold. She gently pushed Charles, wanting to get out of his embrace, but was firmly restrained by his strong arms.She sighed helplessly, "She's already gone. There's no need to pretend anymore.""Pretend?"Charles clenched his teeth and forcefully lifted Maria up, causing her to sit on his lap amidst her surprise.He leaned in and bit Maria's nose as a form of punishment. "I'm being serious, and yet you think I'm just pretending?""Ouch..."Maria winced in pain and glared at him. "Hey, why did you bite me?""Biting you is nothing compared to what I could do!"Charles' deep eyes radiated a dangerous and wild gaze as he stared at Maria like a beast stalking its prey."If it weren't for caring about your feelings, I would have punished you on the spot, Ria. You are so ungrateful.""Um..."Blushing from his words, Maria lightly bit her lower lip and looked at him at a loss.Even though she had never been in a romantic relationship before, she
Charles had a helpless expression on his face. "Ria, you didn't say that just now."Maria was so embarrassed. Knowing that there was no escape now, she could only tell the truth, "No, Charles, you really scared me. You know my situation. I would wake up laughing if you gave me a hundred thousand a month, let alone one billion. Your love is just too much, and I'm not sure if I can handle it...""It's not enough."Charles cupped her face, his eyes becoming determined. "I like you. I've only liked one woman my whole life, and it's you. Even if you can't handle it, you have to."After saying that, he thought for a moment, pursed his thin lips, and said firmly, "I still have my social life, and I have a group of people working under me. The expenses may be small, but they still need money. So, Ria, from now on, I'll give you 9 billion every month.""If you think it's not enough, I can give you more. When I get the annual dividends from the company at the end of the year, I'll give you 90%
