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
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
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
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
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
"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
