So ungrateful

As Eva seriously pondered, she realized the key to this matter. Her heart sank slightly, and she pursed her lips. "Dad, if you knew all this, why didn't you say it in front of Andrew just now?"Old Master Lesser waved his hand, "Now someone can fill Andrew's emptiness. It's a good thing for him. Moreover, considering his current situation, it's not suitable for him to have extreme joy or sorrow. As long as he likes it, there's nothing wrong with recognizing a daughter. Our family can afford to raise her."Eva lowered her head. Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser knew everything, but they didn't say it for the sake of Andrew. Their son who had gone missing for over thirty years had finally returned. As parents, naturally, they wanted him to live the remaining years in happiness.Even if Mia was scheming, as long as she didn't harm Andrew and could make him happy, they wouldn't drive her away.********Mia sat in the courtyard waiting from morning till afternoon, and the more she wait

Strange dream

"Dad... Dad..."Maria was in a deep sleep, her eyes tightly closed.She had a strange dream.In the dream, she saw her grandparents, uncles, and aunts.She was brought to a memorial hall, where hundreds of memorial tablets were placed on a table. She knelt on a cushion at the front, listening to the voice next to her, "Kowtow!" She deeply kowtowed to those memorial tablets, and then the voice asked her to kowtow again. She kowtowed three times in a row!"The ritual is complete!"Noah's excited voice sounded, "Maria, I finally brought you home...""Dad... Dad..."Maria looked at him, tears streaming down her cheeks."Dad, am I finally home?""Yes, Maria. You suffered so much before, but from now on, Grandpa, Grandma, and I will make it up to you.""Boo-hoo..."Maria cried sadly, "I don't want any compensation. I just want you to be well..."As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly floated up. She anxiously called out, "Dad... Dad..."A person who looked very similar to her s

For my benefits

Maid Heather couldn't help but chuckle. She placed the milk on the dining table and said, "Mrs. Smith, I didn't cook anything greasy today. It's all light and healthy."Maria looked at the table filled with boiled corn, boiled eggs, milk, cucumbers, and fruits. It was indeed a low-fat meal."Thank you, Maid Heather."She happily walked over and took a bite of a cucumber.Charles sat down across from her, and Maid Heather immediately brought him a sandwich and fried eggs."Mrs. Smith, your meal is different from Young Master Smith’s. Don't worry. I will pay attention to your diet."Maria nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Maid Heather."Maid Heather waved her hand quickly. "Oh, don't thank me. It's my duty.""It's more than just your duty."Maria said seriously while eating the cucumber, "In this world, no one is obliged to be good to another person. Even parents are not obliged to be good to their children. As human beings, we should be grateful and not let others' kindness go to waste."

Can’t wait any longer

In the next half month, Maria kept practicing the piano. She wanted to let Noah see her, so she had to make more effort.Finally, three days before the competition, Maria, Charles, and Luna arrived in Beijing.Instead of booking their own hotel, they stayed in the hotel provided by the organizers. Because of Charles' status, Luna and Maria received good treatment as well.Lying on the bed in the room, Maria sighed comfortably. "So comfortable..."Charles glanced at her and went into the bathroom with his phone.A minute later, Maria’s phone vibrated. She felt around the bed and found her phone. When she opened it, she saw a text message from the bank.It clearly stated that Charles transferred 13.14 million to her.Upon seeing the number, Maria pouted.Didn't they agree on 900 million?Why was there only 13.14 million?It was not that she wanted more money and thought 13.14 million was not enough. It was just that they had agreed on 900 million before, and now with such a huge discount

Hello, Mrs Smith

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Maria pushed Charles with a smile and gestured towards the direction of the door, mouthing, "Someone's here."Charles clenched his teeth in frustration and said, "Ignore them!"Just as he was about to take the next step, the doorbell rang again."Hahaha..."Maria laughed happily at Charles' annoyed face and said, "Honey, they seem really anxious."Charles' mind was filled with frustration as he reluctantly let go of Maria and stood up. "I'll go open the door."Maria immediately sat up and straightened her clothes and hair.Luna stood outside, wondering why Maria hadn't mentioned going out when suddenly, the door opened before her eyes.Charles' angry face startled her. Had she disturbed them?"Hehe..."Luna awkwardly laughed and said, "Mr. Smith, even though you had mentioned Ria to the organizers earlier, they called and said they wanted Ria to go in person. They were afraid that if she was not so bad, it would ruin their reputation."Charles gave her a co

Mia Lesser

While Maria was taking the exam, in the adjacent room, a woman pointed at the manager with an arrogant attitude and said in anger, "Why does my dad need to step in such an awful competition? I am enough!""Mimi."Beside her, a man in a wheelchair called her name with a frown. She pouted unhappily and said, "Dad, I know you used to be the youngest pianist in the country and the only one who could step onto the world stage at that time. With your talent, being a judge for them is really a waste!"The manager looked at Mia speechlessly, walked over, and slightly bowed to the man in a wheelchair to show his respect."Mr. Lesser, the participants in this competition are all highly skilled, and it is the highest level of piano competition. We hope that you can come forward and give some useful guidance to the young people in the country."The man in the wheelchair was none other than Maria’s father, Andrew, who had been missing for over two months!Mia had changed her name to Mia Lesser.M

Feedback

After Maria played the last note, the three judges were mesmerized as if they had been immersed in the beautiful music…Maria looked up at the three judges. Seeing them in a daze, she smiled awkwardly and didn't interrupt them.Charles glanced at the three of them. "My wife has finished playing. Give some feedback!"His tone was proud and domineering, which immediately caught the attention of the judges.The judge in the middle pushed his glasses up his nose and smiled, "There's no need for feedback. She's passed!"The other two judges nodded immediately, "We agree."Charlie frowned at them, "Is this all? You promised to give feedback and to give some advice about my wife's performance. Why didn't you give it?""Well..."The three judges were extremely embarrassed. It wasn't that they didn't want to give feedback, but... Maria’s skills were already on par with, or even surpassed, theirs. How could they provide feedback?"Ahem..."The judge on the left cleared his throat and tried to p

Dad…

As Maria ran towards the car, it suddenly started, and the man inside seemed to not hear her and didn't even look at her."Dad... Dad..."Maria shouted while running.Charles' heart sank as he watched Maria disregarding everything and about to chase after the car onto the road. He immediately ran over..."Dad... Dad..."Maria jumped onto the road and shouted like an abandoned little dog while chasing after the car."Ria!"Charles chased after her and embraced her from behind, "It's dangerous!""Let go of me. My dad is in that car. let go ofme!""Ria!"Charles' expression became more serious. He held Maria’s waist tightly, lifted her up, and forcefully took her away from the road."Charles, what are you doing?!"Maria became anxious and her eyes turned red, "My dad is in that car. Why won't you let me chase after him?!"Charles pressed his lips and held her tightly, knowing that once he let go of Maria, she would definitely run onto the road to chase the car."Ria, calm down!""How can

That explains it!

Charles' expression scared Luna, and she could only explain nervously."I really didn't think that much at the time, so I gave him Samuel's photo.""Samuel?"Maria blinked her eyes and asked anxiously, "And then?"Luna sighed helplessly, "He seemed to recognize Samuel and told me not to fool him and to give him Mia’s biological father's photo."Charles was stunned.Maria was speechless.Both Charles and Maria guessed what happened next.Luna looked at the two of them, trembling, "I really didn't think that much, Ria..."Maria shook her head, "Luna, you're easily influenced by others. I understand."Although Charles was angry, he had just said that he wouldn't be mad at Luna. He had to remain calm now.He analyzed the situation, "So it's highly likely that Alexander knew Ria's father was in Liverton but wasn't sure, so he wanted a photo of Ria's father. That means... it's really possible that it was Ria's father in the car.""It must be him!"Maria said firmly, "I can't be mistaken.""T

Judge!!

Three days later, the competition officially began. Luna and Charles accompanied Maria to the venue. As they entered, they overheard some contestants whispering to each other."I think I just saw Mia.""Not just you, I saw her too!""What? Wasn't she supposed to be sidelined? Why is she here? Could she also be participating in the competition?""I don't know. If she's here for the competition, why hasn't she gone into the dressing room? Does she have her own separate one?"Just as those people were engrossed in their conversation, someone spotted Maria and quickly gestured for everyone to quiet down. Instantly, all eyes were on Maria's face.Maria looked at them confidently and declared, "I am not Mia! I am Maria!"Upon hearing Maria’s words and seeing Charles standing next to her with an imposing presence, everyone quickly closed their mouths and returned to their own makeup stations.Maria didn't pay any attention to them and walked towards her own makeup station.Luna took out her
