Billionaire substitute bride I will walk her path…
"Ria..."Charles held Maria tightly in his arms, allowing her to hit him, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the pain he felt for Maria in his heart.Only after living with Maria for a few months did he understand what Noah meant to her. All her previous patience and efforts were for Noah.He held her, not letting her struggle out of his control. The words that he had prepared earlier came out of his mouth spontaneously."There is no clear evidence to prove that your father is dead unless we see the body, right?"Luna looked at him in astonishment, not expecting him to calm Maria down in this way...What was the difference between this and deceiving Maria?But the effect was really good.Maria immediately calmed down. She blinkedquickly, gently pushed Charles away a bit, and then looked at him with pleading eyes."He... He hasn't been found? Does that mean there is a possibility that my dad is still alive?""Yes."Charles was afraid that Maria wouldn't believe him, so he n

Her gaze was terrifying!The previous Maria was full of youthfulness with bright and clear eyes that were like the purest crystal in this world, making people want to get closer just by looking at her.But now, Maria's eyes were filled with resentment. Although her eyes were still bright and clear, they were tinged with coldness. She exuded an imposing aura, which made her look like a different person.It was as if she had instantly transformed from a sweet girl into a mature woman, and her imposing manner that kept strangers away burst forth.Luna had seen all kinds of women before, and none of them could suppress her. But Maria's sudden transformation made her instinctively take two steps back as Maria's overwhelming presence was no less than that of Charles, who was sitting beside her deliberately suppressing his aura.However, in just a moment, Maria’s aura subsided, and she looked up at Luna meaningfully with a big smile at the corners of her mouth. "Luna, you mentioned before t
Billionaire substitute bride You have me
"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
Billionaire substitute bride Mrs Smith
"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
Billionaire substitute bride You’re so ungrateful
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
Billionaire substitute bride You should be grateful!
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
Billionaire substitute bride Is it okay somewhere else, Mrs Smith?
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
Billionaire substitute bride She was his woman
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

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

Eva had been with Eric for more than twenty years, and she had no doubt about his feelings for her. Moreover, Eric always took good care of her and loved her deeply. 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

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
