Billionaire substitute bride A toast to you
Charles' eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced sidelong at her, "What did you call me?"Maria stuck out her small, lilac tongue, her fair face reddening even more. Her voice was shy, almost as faint as a mosquito's, "Husband.""Heh..."Only then did a satisfied chuckle escape from Charles, "Yes, I didn't want to come here originally. But William said he would invite four judges and allow each of them to bring a student. I thought David would definitely bring you, so I agreed."At this time, everyone began to take their seats. The girls, who were supposed to be here for the judges, directed their gazes at Maria, who was holding her ears and whispering to the boss, full of jealousy and distaste.Before, Maria and David were exchanging flirtatious looks. Now, Maria is chatting intimately with the boss. How could this not make them jealous and disgusted?People are such creatures, unable to bear the sight of others doing well, especially when they can't do the things that others can.F
Billionaire substitute bride Toast
The dinner table was a long rectangular shape. Lucy, dressed in a rather provocative way, bent down like she was holding a wine glass, revealing her most attractive features in front of Charles' eyes.Linda was drinking juice, and seeing what Lucy was doing, she spurted out a mouthful of juice in surprise.God!This was too open!Although she knew that people from many countries were more open than those from China, but this was really too much!This was simply a blatant seduction!Maria’s amber eyes widened instantly. Her mind was blank at that moment, only the sight in front of her was visible.This was too shocking!All her life, she had never seen such a shocking scene!Her chopsticks fell from her hand with a "snap". She felt her nose heat up, almost spraying a nosebleed.Charles heard the chopsticks falling, and his relaxed brow instantly furrowed. Ignoring Lucy completely, he turned to pick up Maria’s fallen chopsticks. He took out two tissues and carefully wiped them before ha
Billionaire substitute bride Why does it matter?
When several people were toasting to Charles, he remained seated, standing only when he saw someone approaching. David paused for a moment, feeling flattered and surprised, and broke into a smile. "You don't need to get up," he said."No problem," Charles said, picking up his wine glass and clinking it against David's. He then turned his gaze to Maria."I have to admit," he said, "I heard Maria play the piano a long time ago, and I was deeply moved by her music. She's a genius pianist with an unbelievable talent. I know she's part of your team, and I hope you'll take good care of her in the future."This revelation stunned not only David, but also the other judges and girls present. They finally understood why Charles was so kind to Maria. It turned out he was a fan of hers!Lucy and Rivata felt a pang of jealousy.Even Alice felt a pang of emotion. They were all highly accomplished pianists and each was considered a genius by their home country. Did they fall short of Maria?They be

Given that each mansion housed twenty-five people, it wasn't possible for everyone to have a room to themselves. Basically, four or five people shared a room. Only those who received the pass card had the privilege of a single room. Maria was one of them, so she could invite Linda to stay with her.Even though Lucy was also invited to dinner by the judges today, she hadn't received a pass card. She had to share a room with a few other girls.When she got back, thinking of Maria intentionally showing off in front of Charles, she felt quite annoyed. As soon as she entered the room, the other girls rushed over to her."Lucy, what did the teacher want from you today? Why are you coming back so late?"Though Lucy had endured quite a bit at dinner, her vanity was satisfied having privileges that these girls didn't.Brushing her long hair off her shoulder, she laughed smugly, "Oh, nothing much, William had invited a boss for dinner, and I was asked to accompany them.""Oh, my! The boss!?"

Even though the wound on Maria’s left hand had scabbed over and the scab was about to fall off, she insisted on applying medicine every day. Due to her inconvenience, Linda helped her, so they arrived at the training camp quite late.As soon as they walked in, they felt that the glances of the others were not right. Yesterday, everyone was grouped in pairs, but today all of them gathered together, including the members of Maria’s group.After walking a few steps, Maria and Linda discovered the problem - it seemed like they had been singled out by everyone else."What's going on?" Linda asked, supporting Maria with her left hand and looking at the others.When she looked at them, they didn't avoid her gaze. In fact, most of them gave her looks of disdain."What on earth..." Linda was at a loss, "When did we offend everyone?"Maria responded coolly with a light laugh, "I'm afraid everyone already knows about what happened last night?""Last night?"It didn't take long for Linda to reme

The moment the girl heard this, she was irate, but also somewhat guilty. She indeed was sitting next to the piano playing on her phone, but this did not mean that Maria could threaten her!"I got here first. I trained till I'm exhausted. Is it a crime to rest for a while?"Linda would naturally not give her a chance to force a quarrel. "Then is it right for us to practice while you are resting?""No."The girl hummed triumphantly, "I just need to rest a bit, I'll be training soon."Maria didn't want to cause trouble on other people's ground, but that doesn't mean she has a good temper.Her brown eyes stared coldly at the girl's smug face, her gaze deepening, "Fine, then you continue training, we'll just wait here!" "Hey!"The girl angrily stood up, pointed towards the door, "All of you out! If you don't leave, I can't calm down to practice piano!""Why should we leave?"Maria sneered, looked around the room, "It seems that there are no rules here saying that others can't enter when s
Billionaire substitute bride You can all leave
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door, "What on earth are you guys doing!? Why are so many of you surrounding here?"The girls were suddenly frightened and turned their heads towards the door.David was standing there at the doorway, holding a thermos with a cold expression on his face. His normally soft eyes were now filled with rage.Even with all their excitement, these girls would not dare to take action in front of David!They all moved off to the side, some afraid of drawing David's attention even kept hiding behind their pals.But at this time, who would dare to show their face in front of David, everyone wanted to hide from his sight.Sadly, each one of them was clearly seen by David.As the girls huddled on one side, silent, he walked in glaring, thermos in hand. Behind him stood William and Charles.Upon seeing this, William, who was standing nearby, was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Smith, my apologies for

The last sentence was like a hammer hitting hard at every girl's heart.Even though the wound on Maria’s hand has completely healed and those scars are almost gone, the deep impression still touched them deeply.Not to mention injuries as severe as on Maria’s hand, every finger is connected to the heart; if a finger is hurt, it can never be as agile as it was before!Maria was able to impress both David and Hamya with just one injured hand, how could it not deeply stimulate their hearts?Even if they have not heard or seen Maria play, for a while, everyone stopped doubting her abilities.David looked at them one by one, in shock at Maria’s left hand, sneered, "I didn't waste all this time in training camp to play with you! I'm here to win! If you all despise Maria so much, then get out! Half of the people always get eliminated in every open competition, and I don't think you will make it very long."At this point, the cold laughter on his face increased, "I have enough with just Maria

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.

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

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

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

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

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
