"Maybe it was the first time I saw you at the wedding, or maybe it was when I saw you that night after returning to the country. When I found out you weren't Mia, I wasn't actually angry. I just wanted to find a way to keep you by my side..."Maria’s eyes widened as she listened to his words. Something in her heart seemed to completely overturn in that instant."No... No..."Perhaps due to nervousness, her voice trembled. "I thought... You liked Mia. How could...""Humph..."Charles shook his head lightly. Their foreheads rubbed against each other, making Maria's heart flutter. It was as if an electric current surged through her body, causing every hair on her body to stand on end."I didn't know you were Maria before, and I always thought you were Mia. I have to admit that with Mia’s background and her identity as a pianist, she is indeed suitable to be Mrs. Smith. But before, I had only seen one of her performances and never actually met her in person. So how could I like her?"Mar
"What?"Maria froze for a moment, her eyes wide. Charles let go of her and sat up on the bed. He took out his phone and showed Maria his tweet. "See for yourself, Ria. Now the whole world knows that you are Mrs. Smith. You have to take responsibility for me."Uh...This...Maria read each word on the screen, feeling shocked beyond words.She really hadn't expected that Charles would announce it so quickly.Especially, at the sight of the picture of their marriage certificate, her fair face instantly turned red…Charles said firmly, "Ria, you and I are legally married. From now on, there is no one else between us!"Even if Maria didn't want to admit it, she couldn't hide the fact that she and Charles had obtained a marriage certificate.The awkwardness between them because of Mia suddenly turned into sweetness in her heart.Maria smiled but still didn't want Charles to succeed so easily. With her hands crossed over her chest, she snorted with confidence, "Even so, I am only Mrs. Smith
Mia thought that it was already a disaster for her since Charles had learned about what she had ordered Nancy to do, but she never expected that the real disaster was in the Miller Family.She returned home in a daze, intending to talk to Lily and then find a solution. But as soon as she entered the house, she heard Samuel's furious voice."Lily, you are getting bolder! How dare you ask Maria to take the place of Mia! Do you know it will make the already complicated relationship between the Miller Family and the Smith Family even more tense? It's even like slapping the Smith Family in the face!"With a "bang," a glass fell to the ground and instantly shattered.Lily looked at the glass shards at her feet, too scared to even take a breath.How did things turn out like this when everything seemed foolproof?Samuel had truly loved Lily before. Although Lily had a questionable character, she knew how to please him. But now, in terms of family interests and love, he naturally believed that
Mia was so angry that tears streamed down her face, and she clenched her fists tightly by her sides."Save it! The villa and the car are not in my name! They are both in your name! Samuel, you've never treated me as your daughter. In your eyes, I'm just a tool for the Miller Family!" Samuel couldn't believe it!He had never been humiliated like this in his whole life!Even though Mia was not his biological child, he had provided her with everything she needed. He had spent a fortune on her, apart from the material things he gave her.But now, Mia had bitten the hand that fed her, making him feel like all his efforts over the past ten years had been in vain."Fine! Fine!"He almost shouted, then bent down and grabbed an ashtray from the table. He threw it at Mia with anger and frustration. "Get out! Don't ever set foot in the Miller Family's mansion again. You are not my daughter anymore. Get out!"Now Lily didn't need to struggle anymore. Mia was kicked out by Samuel directly.At thi
After resting at home for two days, Maria was ready to go to school.As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw the flashy Lamborghini again. This time Charles was sitting in the driver's seat and raised his chin at her.His cool expression and the sunglasses he was wearing made her helpless.Even though almost a month had passed, she still vividly remembered the scene when she was surrounded by students like an animal at the zoo that day."I won't ride with you."After saying that, she walked away.Charles smiled helplessly and started the engine, and the Lamborghini moved slowly beside Maria."Ria..."Charles controlled the speed and looked at Maria, "How could Mrs. Smith take the subway to school? Don't you think I'll lose face?""Humph..."Maria snorted indifferently, "Who is Mrs. Smith? I never admitted that I am Mrs. Smith."Charles gnashed his teeth with anger, "Whether you admit it or not, I've already made it known to the world..."Before he could finish speaking, he sa
Charles kissed Nancy lightly on the forehead in front of so many people. Looking at her embarrassed and annoyed, he chuckled and sat back."Phew..."Maria took several breaths in a row before suppressing the urge to turn around and give him a punch.She forcefully pushed open the car door, got out without hesitation, and slammed the car door shut.But after walking a few steps, under the jealous gaze of the surrounding girls, she couldn't help but laugh softly.If a girl was teased by a man she didn't like, that was annoying, but if she was teased by a man she liked, that was interesting.Maria was a girl, and she hadn't been in a relationship before, so like all girls, she hoped to have a passionate love affair. Even if it was not so passionate, at least that man could give her unique love.Charles announced their relationship to the world first and then kissed her in front of so many people. It was equivalent to telling the whole world that she was his woman!She actually quite like
Maria waved goodbye to Sarah and her face immediately turned serious. She walked towards the Ferrari with determination.As she approached, a woman opened the car door from inside and smiled warmly, "Ria, get in. Let's have a talk."Maria glanced at her indifferently and stood at the door. "Mom, just say it here."The woman was Maria’s biological mother, Lily. In order to continue being Mrs. Miller and enjoy the wealthy life of the Miller Family, she had to put on a fake smile and face the daughter she once despised.Lily awkwardly laughed and looked around. She put on a gentle smile and said, "Ria, this is the school gate, and there are a lot of students coming and going. You wouldn't want them to overhear our conversation, right?"Indeed, there were countless people there, especially since it was time for school to let out. Maria bit her lip forcefully. Although reluctant, she bent down and got into the car.Lily was extremely happy and said to the driver, "Let's go to Jordelton R
After all, in real life, no one would really cut off their flesh and blood. Even ants struggled to survive, let alone humans.Lily raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Humph… What's wrong? You don't want to? Well, then become a daughter of the Miller Family!""Okay!"Maria suddenly spoke up, startling Lily who had just finished speaking.But soon she reacted, her eyes brightening with excitement, "Then come back with me to the Miller Family... Irvin...""Hold on!"Maria raised her hand to stop her and said firmly, her eyes bloodshot, "I will cut off my flesh and return it to you!""What?"Both Lily and Irvin, the driver, were startled.He suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped in the middle of the road.Seeing Lily's shocked expression, Maria took a deep breath and said firmly, "I promise you, after I find Dad, I will cut off my flesh and return it to you. I don't treasure anything you've given me. If possible, I'd rather die than be your daughter!"With that, she turned arou
