Billionaire substitute bride I’ll wipe them out
Maria watched him slowly get closer, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.Now, she had no other options. She won't let Alexander humiliate her, so she could only...Slowly, she closed her eyes, her resolve growing stronger. She knew the bracelet on her wrist would tell Charles what had happened that day.She believed that Charles would save her.Her lips slightly parted, her tongue poised to take a bite, when suddenly, a strong wind blew by her. The next moment, she heard Alexander's painful scream.There was a thud as a body hit the ground. Maria’s eyes shot open just in time to see Charles pull back his powerful kick. He stood there, like a warrior stepping out from the underworld, not even looking at her as he walked directly towards the thrown Alexander.At this moment, Luna, Director Grant, and the deputy director, approached.Luna gave Alexander a stern look as Alexander writhed in pain on the ground, and then extended her hand to Maria, "Mimi... are you okay?"Maria bli

They were like two statues, sitting on the bed in total silence, neither brave enough to break it.Finally, Maria let out a sharp breath, piercing the quiet. "You knew everything, right?" She asked.Charles, his eyes shadowed, replied with an icy undertone. "Did Alexander confuse you with Mia?"Maria knew that Charles would deduce the truth. His quiet, she noticed, was probably him dealing with the blow this revelation had given him.Putting her sorrows aside, she reached for Charles' arm, her voice turning gentle. "Charles, don't be angry..."His lips twisted into a bitter smile. "What man wouldn't be angry about this?"Hurt by his frosty attitude, she jiggled his arm gently, trying to get through to him. "Maybe Mia didn't want this. Maybe Alexander forced her?"Charles said, "Ria..." His eyes were filled with pain. "Do you know why I came here?"Maria blinked, thinking about the bracelet she wore. Has Charles seen something on it?Charles laughed, but it was bitter. "Twice... And it

After Alexander was whisked off to the hospital, Director Grant was straight onto the phone with the Caine family, relaying Charles exact words. But Alexander's dad muttered a vague "ok" instead of a fiery outburst and hung up."What the heck does 'ok' mean?" Director Grant wondered, shaking his head in confusion.He looked over at Alexander, who was out cold on the hospital bed with two broken ribs and a minor concussion. Alexander was in for a rough couple of weeks.Handing over the job to a crew member, Director Grant left for the day. Given the drama, the next day, he expected Maria to be a no-show. But to his surprise, Maria arrived on time, and Charles was with her. Yesterday's incident had made Charles more vigilant.************Alexander woke up in the hospital in a world of pain, the anesthetic having worn off. He noticed the man in the room and barked, "I need water!"When he finished speaking, a man appeared with a cup of water, offering him a straw.Butler Collins was th

Maria finished her filming three days later, and Director Grant threw a party to celebrate.Luna was seated to Maria left, Charles to her right, and everyone was toasting to them.When a man raised a wine glass to Maria, Charles quickly blocked it. "Mimi doesn't drink," he stated.Director Grant and the rest of the crew were speechless...This wasn't what Charles had said before.He had claimed then that Mia could hold her liquor.But Director Grant was wise enough not to challenge him and quickly pulled aside those about to toast with Maria.Given Charles poker face, no one dared to offer him a toast. All people's eyes instead turned to Luna.Sighing, Luna stepped up to lighten the mood."Since Mimi and Young Master Smith aren't drinking, I'll drink with you," she declared.Maria smiled faintly and peeled a shrimp from the dish before placing it on Charles' plate.Ever since the event, Charles had been a bit down. Maria had been looking after him, forgetting she was the one wronged t

The following day, Maria woke up early for her flight. She packed swiftly and was soon on her way with her luggage.When she got to the car, Mia and Luna were already there.Luna glanced at her knowingly, but her greeting was not as warm as usual.Maria got the message. After loading her suitcase into the trunk, she climbed into the car next to Mia.Mia looked awful, like someone who hadn't slept well for days. She had lost weight, and her eyes were sunken, evident signs of emotional distress.Maria just glanced at her, and then stared straight ahead, "Maria, you're a real superstar now," Mia spat out, breaking the silence with venom. "How did it feel, playing the movie star? Bet you loved being queen bee on set."She scoffed, her green eyes filled with envy. "Don't get ahead of yourself. Just because you had a role in a film doesn't mean you're my equal. You're nothing. Without my name, you'd be less than nothing to them."Those words hit like a punch to the gut.Anyone else would ha

"Maria!"Mia’s face turned red with anger. This matter was a disgrace to her!But Maria said it out loud as if she had just peeled off the newly formed scab and then poked it hard with her finger.She raised her hand and tried to slap Maria’s face. Maria had been learning from Matthew for so many days, and she may have been afraid of Alexander, but when facing Mia, she had no fear at all.With a loud "slap", Maria raised her hand and slapped Mia’s arm, leaving it swollen."In front of me, Mia, you better put away your arrogance, or I won't be so polite next time!"Mia angrily held her arm, unable to believe that in just a few days, Maria had become so strong. But she had never been hit by Lily before. Since she joined the Miller Family, Samuel had treated her like a precious gem and never laid a hand on her.And now, she had been hit by Maria?Anger surged from her heart to her head, and she angrily threatened Maria, "Maria , if you dare to hit me again, I'll make your father die!"

Maria’s face turned gloomy. She turned to look at Mia and said, "Mia, don't belittle Dad. Don't forget, you are also his daughter. Do you think Lily alone could have given birth to you?"Mia couldn't argue with that. She disdainfully glared at Maria, then bent over and got into the car.This time, Mia didn't cover Maria’s head but allowed her to sit freely in the car.Maria looked at the scenery outside the window. As time passed, her mood became increasingly tense. The closer they got to Noah, the harder it was for her to control her emotions.Her hands on her lap clenched tightly together. Despite feeling anxious, she couldn't contain the smile that appeared on her lips.After more than two years, she could finally reunite with her father.Once she saw Noah, she would find the best hospital for him. Even if she couldn't wake him up, she would make sure he lived comfortably in the future.However, as Maria looked at the scenery outside the window, her brow furrowed tightly.The last

Maria didn't expect that it would be so smooth this time. It felt unreal to her.The closer she was to Noah, the more nervous she became. Even though Noah was in a vegetative state and couldn't see her at all, she still nervously and excitedly ran her hand through her hair and straightened her clothes.Mia rolled her eyes and said, "Maria, can you stop dawdling? What are you doing? If someone who didn't know the situation saw you, they would think you're going on a blind date!"Maria ignored her and turned to Luna, anxiously asking, "Luna, how do I look? Is my hair messy? Are my clothes..."Luna smiled and patted her shoulder, "You look good just like this. Go in.""Okay."Maria calmed down a bit, clenched her hands by her sides, and walked in without hesitation.This was a two-bedroom suite. Maria saw a living room upon entering, and she could see all the decorations at a glance. There was nothing special, and she didn't pay much attention. She turned into a narrow corridor that led

Billionaire substitute bride Until death, we were always confused
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

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.

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
Billionaire substitute bride Butterfly Lover
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
Billionaire substitute bride Heart racing
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
