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
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
Maria waved goodbye to Sarah and her face immediately turned serious. She walked towards the Ferrari with determination.As she approached, a woman opened the car door from inside and smiled warmly, "Ria, get in. Let's have a talk."Maria glanced at her indifferently and stood at the door. "Mom, just say it here."The woman was Maria’s biological mother, Lily. In order to continue being Mrs. Miller and enjoy the wealthy life of the Miller Family, she had to put on a fake smile and face the daughter she once despised.Lily awkwardly laughed and looked around. She put on a gentle smile and said, "Ria, this is the school gate, and there are a lot of students coming and going. You wouldn't want them to overhear our conversation, right?"Indeed, there were countless people there, especially since it was time for school to let out. Maria bit her lip forcefully. Although reluctant, she bent down and got into the car.Lily was extremely happy and said to the driver, "Let's go to Jordelton R
After all, in real life, no one would really cut off their flesh and blood. Even ants struggled to survive, let alone humans.Lily raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Humph… What's wrong? You don't want to? Well, then become a daughter of the Miller Family!""Okay!"Maria suddenly spoke up, startling Lily who had just finished speaking.But soon she reacted, her eyes brightening with excitement, "Then come back with me to the Miller Family... Irvin...""Hold on!"Maria raised her hand to stop her and said firmly, her eyes bloodshot, "I will cut off my flesh and return it to you!""What?"Both Lily and Irvin, the driver, were startled.He suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped in the middle of the road.Seeing Lily's shocked expression, Maria took a deep breath and said firmly, "I promise you, after I find Dad, I will cut off my flesh and return it to you. I don't treasure anything you've given me. If possible, I'd rather die than be your daughter!"With that, she turned arou
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Smith Family's old mansion.Charles gently held Maria’s hand with slender fingers and turned his head to look at her, "Ria, Grandpa also knows about this. How about we go in and explain it to him?"Thinking of the kind old man, Maria nodded. After getting out of the car, she took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed her emotions, and gave a wry smile.Before entering the house, Maria thought that Old Master Smith would definitely get angry with her. After all, she and Mia had deceived his grandson. Even though Charles liked her now, it couldn't change the fact that she deceived Charles.However, when she and Charles entered the house, Old Master Smith heard them call him Grandpa, touched his reading glasses, and laughed happily.He waved at Maria, "Maria, come here."Charles turned his head and chuckled, "Hey… Grandpa is calling you. Go ahead.""I..."Maria’s nose twitched, and she was about to shed tears again. She quickly
The Miller Family had been having a tough time these days. Glory Group canceled their cooperation and even the other companies they had previously formed good relationships with suddenly canceled the remaining orders.Samuel begged for help everywhere, but those businessmen's attitudes were resolute.He was so frustrated that he almost pulled out his hair. He couldn't believe Charles would be so hard on them this time, leaving no room for the Miller Family to survive.Daniel was also furious. He sat in the living room looking at Samuel with a cold smile. "We're in a lot of trouble. It's all because of Mia!"Samuel was angry at his mockery, but he couldn't refute it.Ever since Lily saw Maria that day, she dared not stay at home. She left early in the morning and returned late at night. However, Samuel had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't come home either.After visiting Mia, Lily packed her things and finally cautiously pushed open the door.As soon as Samuel saw her
Maria had been busy with her thesis for the past few days and had been working late into the night. After Maid Heather knocked on the door and gently pushed it open, she saw Maria studying hard and smiled with satisfaction, "Mrs. Smith, Samuel brought Lily and Daniel here. Young Master Smith wants you to meet them.""Huh?"Maria was momentarily puzzled. She could understand why Lily and Samuel were here, but she couldn't understand why Daniel was here.But she didn't ask further and stood up to follow Maid Heather out.To know someone's purpose, one must first meet and understand them.In the living room.Charles sat on the main sofa while Samuel, Lily, and Daniel stood in the center of the room, none daring to sit.Although they were also from a prestigious family, there was a distinction between regular prestigious families and super prestigious families.Charles' family belonged to the latter category, and the Miller Family was nothing to him.When Maria came out, she saw this co
Maria frowned, unsure why Daniel suddenly brought up this matter. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Yes."Daniel sneered and chuckled softly, "Although you are now married to Young Master Smith and lack nothing, it wouldn't be fair for you to let others benefit from what is yours, right?"Those words struck a chord with Maria.Honestly, she didn't simply dislike Mia. She even held some resentment towards her.Maria fell silent, and Daniel continued, "Ms. Dench calls the shots in the Miller Family. I remember the engagement gifts from the Smith Family were all given to her. As for whether she gave any to Mia, I'm not sure."Lily's heart skipped a beat and she instinctively spoke up, "No! How could I give them to her? She spends money quickly. If I didn't keep them, she would have squandered it within two years!"Daniel just smiled and remained silent, but his gaze towards Maria became more playful.Maria realized what he meant, nodded, and stared into Lily's face. "Mom, sinc
