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
"Oh my god!"Linda felt immense pressure. "The elimination rate is so high."Maria took a deep breath, her heart racing nervously."So, if we get eliminated in the elimination round, it means we have to go back home before even getting into the training camp.""You can say that."Seeing Maria rubbing her fingers together nervously, Charles gently grabbed her hand. "Ria, don't be nervous. I believe you will make it to the top 100."Andrew chuckled lightly, "What's wrong with you two? Weren't you confident when you came? Are you scared now that there is an elimination round?""I... I'm not!"Linda raised her chin, proudly saying, "My teacher will only arrive tomorrow. Once he's here and guides me, I will have no problem making it to the top ten, let alone the top one hundred."Andrew was curious. "Your teacher?""Hehe..."Linda covered her mouth with both hands and smiled mysteriously. "I won't tell you now. You'll know who he is when you meet him tomorrow."Any person they would recog
In Charles territory, Maria could do whatever she wanted!At the hotel entrance, there were already ten Rolls- Royces parked.As soon as they appeared, several people came to help them with their luggage.Soon, they arrived at the five-star hotel arranged by the organizers. It was not far from the previous one, and it only took them ten minutes.As soon as Charles appeared, a blonde man walked over attentively and handed several key cards to Charles with a smile."Young Master Smith, these are your key cards."Charles took them, and the man continued, "If you need anything, feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to help you."Linda tilted her head and asked, "Can you get us two pianos?""Haha..."The man burst into laughter. "There is a piano in each of your rooms that you can use as you please."That was great!Maria and Linda exchanged glances, feeling proud.Charles was amazing.This was the first time Maria truly understood the power of money.Before, they were looked down
Mia was lying in a bathtub in a three- star hotel. She held a glass of red wine in her hand and took a satisfied sip. At the thought that Maria and Linda were still staying in that trashy hotel, she couldn't help but laugh with pride."You obedient idiots! Tsk... Linda showed off her private jet, but now she can only stay in a poor hotel! Hahaha..."After taking a sip of wine, she closed her eyes comfortably, "Charles has some influence in Beijing, but this is Brussels! Since those idiots rely on him, they deserve to suffer! I'm so smart..."Suddenly, her phone rang. She opened her eyes with a glass of red wine in her left hand and reached for her phone with her right hand. It was a call from Alexander. She put the phone to her ear."Alexander, are you calling to beg me to take you in? It's too late! You don't have an opportunity anymore, so just stay in that cheap hotel with them!"Alexander's cold voice came from the other end of the line, "Mia, we are in the presidential suite of
Everyone woke up late the next day.It was close to noon, and Maria didn't want to get out of bed until her stomach growled.As soon as Maria and Charles got dressed, the doorbell rang."Who is it?"Maria, still jet-lagged, could barely tell whether it was morning or noon.She put on her slippers and went to open the door. Before she could even see who it was, her wrist was grabbed."Maria, my teacher is here. Come on. I'll take you there.""What?!"Caught off guard, Maria was dragged away by Linda."Linda, slow down. I'm... I'm wearing slippers...""It's fine. My teacher is in my room..."Their rooms were not far apart. As they spoke, Linda had already dragged Maria to the door of her room.They went inside, and Linda excitedly called out, "Mr. Hastings, I brought my good friend..."Maria stopped as she saw a man in his fifties standing in the room.Although he was middle-aged, he took excellent care of himself. The unique artist's temperament made him look radiant. His deep brown ey
Andrew invited Patrick to lunch.They ordered many delicious dishes in the hotel dining room.Linda whispered something to Patrick, and he looked at Maria and then at Mia. A faint smile appeared on his lips.It was quite interesting that they were only cousins."Ria, have some shrimp."Charles put peeled shrimp into Maria’s bowl and served her a bowl of lobster porridge, taking care of her every need.Charles doted on Maria while Alexander only focused on his own food, which made Mia furious."Alexander, I want some shrimp."Alexander glanced at her, put a shrimp in her bowl, and continued eating.Mia angrily pushed her bowl in front of him, "Peel it for me."Alexander frowned and asked in a low voice, "Can't you do it yourself?""I..."If it weren't for Linda and Patrick, Mia would have definitely thrown her bowl at Alexander's face!She narrowed his eyes and said through gritted teeth, "Alexander, I am your wife. It's only natural for you to peel the shrimp for me…"Seeing that she
At that moment, in a high-rise building in Brussels, over a dozen men in black suits gathered together."This is Charles' wife."One of the men turned the laptop screen towards the others, "We received information that he loves his wife very much. If we capture his wife, we can extort a large sum of money from him!""Humph!"All the men looked at the laptop screen fiercely. "Charles forced us into a corner two years ago. Now it's time for him to be cornered!""Yes! We can't deal with him, but we can capture his wife.""Hehe..."One of the men, who looked sleazy, licked his lips sinisterly, "His wife is quite beautiful. Let's capture her and have some fun!""Yes..."Another man's eyes gleamed, "Such women are petite and gentle. If we all have our turn with her, she might not even want Charles anymore, hahaha..."The man sitting behind the laptop screen tapped the table with his finger."Let's not think about that for now. Let's make a plan and see how we can capture that woman!"Immedi
After Mia left Maria’s room, she didn't return to her own room but took the elevator downstairs and left the hotel.Walking on the bustling streets of Brussels, she pouted in frustration and kept complaining."If I am ordinary, what about Maria?""Maria is even worse than me!""He looks down on me and doesn't like me, so he deliberately mocked me in front of Patrick!""Damn Maria. What's so good about her? Charles likes her, and even my dad likes her... They've gone too far!"Suddenly, a white van stopped by the roadside, and the door whooshed open. Two men in black suits immediately jumped out of the van. They purposefully ran towards Mia, who was still complaining with her head down. Suddenly, a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose, and a strong smell rushed into her nostrils. She wanted to struggle, but suddenly, everything went black and she fainted…The two men quickly carried her into the van, and then the van roared off.The two men in black looked at the unconscious Mia and
