Billionaire substitute bride He was late
Charles coldly stared at Lily, without a word.He figured out from Lily's fear that Noah was indeed here!"Is there anyone inside? I want to go in and check it out first.""Yes, there is."Samuel didn't pay any more attention to Lily. He replied at once, "There are usually maids cleaning the house. Mr. Smith, if you think it's okay, Mimi can take it tomorrow."After saying that, he walked forward, unlocked the door with his fingerprint and led Charles inside.Lily walked slowly behind them, losing strength...She watched as Samuel took Charles upstairs. She said nervously in horror,"Samuel, no one lives upstairs. We don't need to go up."Charles didn't look back and quickened his steps instead, "Let's take a look."Samuel had no doubts. Even though Lily indeed seemed a bit strange today, she was always so lazy. He still ignored her and went upstairs with Charles.Lily was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She thought for a moment and followed them upstairs.When t

In the morning, Maria woke up feeling weak all over.Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She sat up abruptly and looked at Charles sleeping next to her. Her heart was in her throat.Why was he sleeping next to her!?Feeling her gaze, Charles leisurely opened his eyes. He casually pulled the quilt down a bit, revealing his enchanting chest, "You're up?"Maria’s amber eyes rounded in shock. She panicked, "W-What did you do to me last night?"Charles frowned and sat up, with his abs exposed.In an instant, Maria felt her cheeks heating up, yet she couldn't take her eyes off him. She had butterflies in her stomach."Look at you!"Charles feigned hurt and shook his head, "You looked at me just like this last night. Then you started to fondle me. You should ask yourself what did you did to me.""I..."Maria tried very hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.All she could recall was that Charles had found her in the rain. She had cried in Charles arms for a long time. Then he ca

"No need."Charles clenched his teeth and slowly closed his eyes. His heart felt as if it was being cut by a blunt knife, back and forth. Though there was no bleeding, the pain made his heart shrivel up.No matter how well he treated Maria, she was still thinking about leaving him...His deep eyes slowly opened and he looked greatly disappointed. He gently curled his lips, laughing with irony, "Just like you said, we're both adults. If you're OK with that, I can also accept the result."After saying that, he stood up and turned to leave without giving Maria another glance.Sat there with the half-eaten sandwich in her plate now unappealing, Maria knew Charles was angry.It was understandable. Even she felt she was a bad girl by trying to get rid of him with a little money after sleeping with him.But Lily's words still echoed in her mind. She had lost her virginity. She couldn't lose her heart too.She simply didn't have a family background like Mia’s, let alone Mia’s status. From all

The two girls trailed behind Fiona all the way. They acted as her minions, just hoping to join Fiona's father's company after graduation. They were going to graduate as Ms. They must do their best to find a job.The two girls exchanged a glance, then briskly walked towards Maria with a threatening demeanor.Maria knew that these two girls usually helped Fiona bully other girls in school, so she naturally knew what they intended to do to her.She put down her suitcase, and grabbed the mug on the table. Without concerning about the warm water inside it, she hit it hard on Fiona's head.The mug didn't shatter, but a red mark appeared on Fiona's forehead at once.Fiona screamed in pain, hands covering her forehead as she squatted on the ground.The two girls were taken aback at Maria’s harsh reaction. Standing there dumbfounded, they didn't dare to make a move.Maria casually tossed the mug on the table and grabbed her suitcase once again, "I told you not to provoke me!""Maria!" Fiona s

"Where are we going?"Maria gestured with her hand, "Drive out of the school gate, then turn left. At the second traffic light intersection, turn right. Go straight for 830 meters then turn left again..."Tom cleared his throat lightly, "Mrs. Smith, please just tell me the address."Maria pouted, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to find it. We're going to the Walmart nearby."A supermarket?Charles tilted his head to look at her, "You want me to go to the supermarket with you?""Yes."Maria nodded proudly, "I'm going to cook for you tonight. I need to buy a lot of stuff, and I can't carry it all by myself."Upon hearing that she was going to cook, Charles was immediately unhappy.He didn't forget that the last time Maria cooked for him and his grandfather, she had to leave within a few days.Suddenly, Maria felt the air around them suddenly chill. She quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, it's nothing. I just heard this morning that you punished Samuel and Lily last night.

The two men were stunned by his actions.Without any hesitation, Charles dashed forward, raising his fist and punched one of the men hard.With one man down, Charles spun around, made a back kick against the other man. The man immediately flew out and landed heavily on the ground.The first man who was punched, seeing his companion being kicked away by Charles, didn't want to concede defeat. Just as he tried to fight against Charles, he was stopped by a fierce gaze. Charles' gaze was like a sharp knife and scared the man.Charles sneered, then quickly punched him at the temple. The man spat out a mouthful of water. But Charles didn't let go of him. Instead, Charles dragged him into the men's washroom.The man that was kicked away by Charles, seeing Charles handling the situation with such decisiveness and ruthlessness, scrambled to his feet and escaped. Charles glanced at him but didn't make any move to stop him.Inside the men's washroom, cries of pain could be heard echoing, "Ah

After dinner, Maria sat contentedly on the sofa. She noticed Charles sitting beside her and smiled, "How was it? I'm not a bad cook, am I?"Charles nodded, “Not bad."With Maid Heather approaching, Maria leaned on Charles and asked playfully,"Who cooks better, me or Maid Heather?"Charles looked at her, who smiled like an adorable little animal, and raised his eyebrow, "Of course you cook better." Suddenly embarrassed, Maria pulled back her hand and pouted, "You're so tactless! Maid Heather is here. Can't you just say both of us cook well?"Charles reached out and Maid Heather handed over a big bag of snacks."Ha-ha, Mrs. Smith, when Young Master Smith said you're better at cooking, he was just trying to please you. I wouldn't be unhappy."Maria laughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "Let's watch some TV shows. We've got nothing better to do."After a glance at Maria and Charles, Maid Heather returned to her room with a beam. She didn't want to be a third wheel.They had been ap

The next day, Maria had a feeling that something wasn't right the moment she walked through the school gate.Groups of students were whispering in hushed voices, seemingly discussing something.For a day student like Maria, who disappeared immediately after classes, it was normal to not have many close friends.When she walked into the classroom, a hateful gaze suddenly struck her.Following the gaze, she saw Fiona sitting there and glaring at her…After hitting Fiona yesterday, it was not a surprise to see Fiona's resentment today. Maria didn't take it to heart and found a seat by the door in the front row.Soon, the bell for the class rang, and the teacher walked in to start the class.Maria listened attentively to the lecture. She was about to graduate this year. With her doctorate degree, she was confident that she would find a good job.After all, there were few people in the entire school who could do both undergraduate and master's degrees at the San Diego University at the age

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
