Billionaire substitute bride I’m the boss
At the door, Charles stood at the front, with the company's executives standing behind him humbly. They were no longer acting like the boss.Charles glanced at Mia coldly and walked towards them with his left hand in his pocket.Mia’s mind went blank as soon as she saw Charles. She was determined to show that she was Mrs. Smith and couldn't let him see her in a disheveled state. She quickly raised her hand to fix her hair and clothes.But after Charles walked past her, he stood beside Maria and naturally put his right hand around her slender waist."Mia, you're right. They can't decide whether you're leaving or not. Only the company's executives can decide."Mia’s eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously. She even secretly thought to herself that Charles really still liked her.She thought Maria only got Charles' attention because they looked alike.Just as she was getting excited and lost in her thoughts, Charles raised an eyebrow and sneered."Well, now I formally notify you that fro

Maria thanked her and then looked at Luna.At this moment, Luna was also looking at her. Luna really didn't expect this turn of events. She used to help Mia bully Maria, but now Maria was her lady boss. The change in their relationship was truly awkward..."Hehe..."Luna put a smile on her face, although it was somewhat forced. "Well, Mrs. Smith..."Maria interrupted her with a smile, "Luna, you don't have to call me that. You can call me by my name or just Ria...""Uh, okay."To be honest, if Luna had to call Maria Mrs. Smith, she would find it awkward. Since Maria

In Liverton.Alexander spent a month recovering from his injuries before he could get out of bed.He moved his arm a little, immediately feeling a little sore."Damn..."He spat at the window with a gloomy expression. "Charles is really ruthless. He almost beat me to death!"Suddenly, an infuriated little face appeared in his mind. Over the past month, that face had followed him like a nightmare, appearing from time to time whether he was asleep or awake."Hehe..."He sneered. "What a little wild cat. Twins? Interesting..."Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it and put the phone to his ear.It was his friend calling him. Upon hearing that he could now get out of bed, his friend immediately invited him to go out and have fun at night.Alexander had been stifled for a month and had long wanted to go out and relax.

Maria had just signed a contract and was waiting for further planning from the company's higher-ups and Luna. She also had to wait for Charles' confirmation before she could start working.Although she was not that eager to work, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious."Ria, what are you thinking about?"After finishing their meal, Charles brought a fruit plate and looked at Maria sitting there in a daze. He sat down beside her with a smirk on his face.Maria shook her head and gently patted her chest with her fingers. "Nothing. I just feel a bit anxious.""Anxious?"Charles looked at her chest and lifted his hand seriously. "Let me check."Maria was speechless and rolled her eyes at him. "No need. I'm a doctor..."“Come on!”Before she could finish, Charles reached out his hand. "A doctor can't treat themselves. I think it needs a little rubbing from me...""Hey..."Maria impatiently pushed his hand away. "Can't you stop acting so perverted?!""I'm not..."Charles looked pi

The next day, both of them woke up early. Maria didn't actually like wearing makeup as she was in the bloom of her youth. After hesitating for a long time, she still applied light makeup.However, this time, she didn't imitate Mia’s style of makeup. Instead, she applied a fresh and elegant look that, if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice she had makeup on.Soon, they arrived at the Smith Family's old mansion. When Maria entered the room full of people, her previous calmness suddenly turned into anxiety."Charles, is this all your immediate family?"Charles gently held her hand and whispered, "I didn't expect Grandpa to call back all my aunts. He really likes you."Uh…Maria almost cried. She couldn't handle it. Because... She had social anxiety!Charles gently squeezed Maria’s hand and she could only force a smile as she walked forward with Charles.Old Master Smith happily laughed, "Charles, why don't you introduce your wife to the elders?"The gazes of everyone in the S

As soon as Brenda finished speaking, Freya's eyes instantly turned red as if she had suddenly understood something. She immediately took off the sparkling and translucent jade bracelet from her wrist and placed it on the jewelry box held by Maria."This is also my dowry, and it was left to me by my mother. Ria, I'm giving it to you. I know you are a good girl with a kind heart. So, I beg you, if Charles does something wrong and makes you angry, you can argue with him and come to us for help. We will scold him for you. But please don't leave him."The previously joyous atmosphere suddenly became somber.Maria looked at those women, and her eyes also gradually turned red.With such a family, Charles was truly fortunate!Brenda sighed softly as she saw everyone becoming sad."Ria, it's not that we deliberately spoiled the mood. It's simply a miracle for Charles to fall in love with a woman!""Yes." Freya nodded. "We thought that he would never fall in love with a woman in his entire lif

The sound of tiles shuffling filled the air. Maria focused on the tiles in her hand. She spent most of her time studying and making money before, so she had never had the chance to play this kind of game.Freya sat next to her silently. However, her eyes were fixed on the tiles in Maria’s hand.Just as Maria was about to win by self-draw, she hesitated and discarded a different tile.Freya's eyes widened."Silly girl... That was a self-draw..."Freya pressed her lips with a frown. But as she watched Maria continue to draw and discard five tiles in a row, her eyes suddenly widened.It seemed that Maria was just waiting for a chance!When Maria drew the eighth tile, she didn't even look at it. She slammed it on the table, "Self-draw, all one suit, with honors."Brenda looked at Maria’s tiles in disbelief. It really was all one suit!The other two women were shocked. "Ria, you're so lucky. You won such a big hand on your first try!"Maria modestly smiled, "It's luck.""Let's play again

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. She had started investigating Charles' affairs under the old lady's orders.And since then, she felt that Eric had become more and more distant from her, a distance that she couldn't close no matter what she did.Now that Charles had come to Beijing, she had to make a choice between Eric and 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
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
