Is this enough?
Maria and Charles returned home, her hands sore!After agreeing to perform with Rivas, she was forced to practice the piano for two hours by him. Her fingers were trembling now..."Ria."Charles and Maria sat down on the couch. He took Maria’s left hand, placed it on his leg, and gently massaged her fingers."Oh..."Maria sighed comfortably, "So comfortable."Suddenly, she frowned and pouted, "Honey, do you think Rivas is making a fool of me? He wants me to go to his place every morning at nine and practice until three in the afternoon. I'm afraid I can't even use my hands anymore.""Hehe..."Charles chuckled and shook his head, "Rivas is a keen lover of the piano. It's not easy for him to encounter an opponent who can hone his skills. How could he miss such an opportunity?"Maria blinked and carefully pondered Charles' words. Then she raised her right hand and gave him a thumbs-up."Honey, you are right. Rivas is indeed a keen lover of the piano. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to n

In the following days, Luna would accompany Maria to Rivas hotel for piano practice every day. The relationship between Rivas and Maria became more intimate. They were not just partners anymore. It was a kind of long-awaited mutual affection."Rivas."After finishing the piano practice, Maria rubbed her fingers and pouted towards the window, "Yesterday, my husband told me that there is a good restaurant to the north of Beijing. Do you want to go with me?""A restaurant?"Rivas also massaged his fingers gently, "What are we eating? Is it spicy?"After being with Rivas for so many days, Maria knew his preferences very well. She chuckled, "Yeah! It will make you cry. So tell me, are you coming or not?""Yes, of course."Rivas immediately stood up, intending to change his clothes.The bodyguard reminded him kindly, "Rivas, Mia is coming for practice at eight o'clock tonight. You've already skipped her for three days in a row."Including today, Maria rehearsed with Rivas for a total of s

The concert was only a few days away.Considering the frequency of Mia’s rehearsals with Rivas, she might mess up.While Maria took Rivas out for a meal, Mia was at home smashing things in anger."He keeps standing me up time and time again. Who does he think he is?!"The fruit plate and glasses on the coffee table were swept to the ground in her fit of rage.The girl attending to her saw the broken glass all over the floor and rushed towards Andrew's yard in a panic.But Andrew wasn't in his own yard at the moment. He was with Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser. The girl had no choice but to go there.Once she entered the yard, she anxiously looked at Andrew, "Young Master Lesser, Miss Mia Lesser is smashing things again. Please go check on her."Old Mrs. Lesser frowned at once. This was the third time Mia had smashed things to vent her anger.She looked at Andrew angrily, "Andrew, isn't Mia’s temper a little too bad? Haven't you educated her before?"Andrew helplessly lowered his

Tickets for Rivas' concert were truly hard to come by.All of Rivas fans in the country were scrambling for tickets.Even the price of the worst seats had been inflated to over 7000 dollars, let alone the better ones. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were priceless.Thanks to Andrew's relationship with Rivas, the Lesser family obtained five of the best seats. Andrew personally delivered the tickets to Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser. "Dad, Mom, these are tickets for the Rivas concert. You've always said that Mimi isn't good enough, but this time, she received an invitation from Rivas to be the only pianist in our country to perform with him on stage. I hope you can witness her growth."Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser knew very well that these tickets were hard to come by.Old Mrs. Lesser took the tickets. Looking at Andrew's determined expression, she sighed helplessly, "Andrew, I know you don't want to remarry, but this music concert doesn't prove anything...

Eva's countenance immediately changed. She gritted her teeth and looked at Charles mournfully.But Charles ignored her, turned to Luna, and said, "Luna, take out the tickets. We can enter once they are checked."Luna naturally knew about the subtle relationship between Maria and the Lesser family. The atmosphere was so tense now, so she immediately opened her bag and took out the tickets. "Alright, let's check the tickets once they go in."Mia noticed the golden tickets in Luna's hand. Surprisingly, they were the same as theirs!Rivas’ concert had two types of tickets.The white tickets were for sale to the public while the golden ones were mainly for special guests and important clients.She shouted in a sharp voice, "How did you get these tickets?"Luna raised the tickets in her hand and smirked cunningly, "We bought them. Young Master Smith is rich. It's a piece of cake for him to get three tickets."Hearing that they bought the tickets, Mia was relieved.Her pride and arrogance co

"Is that so?"Luna frowned suspiciously. "I don't think so. If he really liked Mia, he wouldn't have been looking at you when he arrived. Ria, you'd better stay away from him. He's out of his mind!"No doubt about that!Alexander haunted Mia and almost insulted Maria and drove her to her death!Even if Luna didn't remind Maria, she would still stay away from him."Honey, let's go inside."Maria didn't want to discuss this any further and went to get their tickets checked with Charles.Everyone entered the theater smoothly, and after Mia seated the Lesser family, she went backstage.Maria, Charles, and Luna realized that their seats were right next to those of the Lesser family.Old Master Lesser, Old Mrs. Lesser, Andrew, and Eva sat in a row with only one seat empty beside them. Charles naturally didn't want to sit next to Eva, even though there was an empty seat in between. So Maria sat in that seat.Luna checked her watch and whispered to Maria over Charles shoulder, "Ria, I had yo
Read moreMaria outshine Mia
On the stage, after the host introduced her, Mia walked to another piano. She exchanged glances with Rivas, and as soon as he nodded at her, she placed her hands on the keys and closed her eyes. As the music started playing, she collaborated with Rivas and the band.The audience listened attentively, and some began to whisper quietly."Why do I feel like Mia is dragging Rivas down?""Yeah, I noticed that too. When Rivas was playing solo earlier, he didn't seem as hesitant. It feels like he's unable to fully express himself.""Yeah, it seems that there's still quite a gap between our country's pianists and top-notch pianists in the world."Even Andrew frowned lightly as he listened to Mia and Rivas play.He understood why Rivas tried to refuse him before. Mia was fine playing solo, but when she played with Rivas, her shortcomings were exposed. At that moment, because of Mia, he felt a bit ashamed.Fortunately, the performance wasn't too long, and after Mia finished playing, there was

Backstage, Mia could hear the intense applause that far exceeded the faint applause she received after her performance.Watching Maria and Rivas talking and laughing on stage, Mia was furious!Why?!Rivas promised her that she would be the only special guest, but he also invited Maria. Was he helping her or humiliating her?Andrew even pleaded with him back then!Mia stared at Maria fiercely. Maria didn't leave the stage. Instead, she walked towards the backstage.Mia clenched her fists at once, and when Maria approached, she unleashed a torrent of curses."Maria, you're really something! Did you sleep with Rivas or did you ask Charles to buy him off? How could he invite you to be his special guest?"The smile on Maria’s face immediately vanished. She looked at Mia’s resentful eyes and frowned coldly."Mia, Rivas helped you. Is this how you repay him? How can you assume the worst of him?"Mia couldn't stand it anymore. Maria’s background was inferior to hers but still had the audacity

Maria groaned, her face quickly turning pale. But even so, her hands were still tightly holding onto Andrew."Andrew!""Young Master Lesser!""Andrew!""Ria!"Old Master Lesser, Old Mrs. Lesser, Eva, and Charles almost shouted simultaneously. The next second, they ran towards Maria.Andrew was on top of Maria. Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser rushed over and helped Andrew up."Andrew, are you hurt? Let me see...""Andrew, are you okay?"Charles didn't care about Andrew at all. He squatted down and nervously looked at Maria. "Ria, are you okay? Can you move?"Nancy's coccyx had been severely injured earlier. Now she could hardly feel the pain. Even her mind went blank for a while.Only two seconds passed from her falling with Andrew to Charles rushing over, but her mind was blank and her eyes were unfocused.Charles was frightened, his face pale. "Ria..."He didn't dare to move Maria and could only keep calling her, "Ria, Ria..."After a minute, Maria’s brain was back to normal. T

At the hospital, Maria underwent a full-body examination. Her injuries were not too serious, but Charles was still concerned and wanted her to stay in the hospital for a few days.After taking the medication, as long as Maria didn't exert too much force on her waist, she didn't feel as much pain.The only inconvenience was that she had to lie on her side.Charles personally took care of her in the hospital room while Luna dealt with her work.Mia was in the same hospital as Maria, but she was deeply frightened and fell back asleep after waking up.Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser booked a VIP room next to Maria’s. Eva took care of Mia, while Alexander and Andrew were called into the VIP room by Old Master Lesser and Old Mrs. Lesser."Alexander."Old Mrs. Lesser looked at Alexander and nodded approvingly. "You did well at the theater just now. If not for Mia going crazy, your actions would have resolved everything."Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser had sharp eyes. Even though
