Andrew let out a heavy sigh. Alexander Caine at least glanced at Mia, but he didn't even bother to look at Mia and got in the car with his legs exhausted.Shortly after, the street quieted down. The security team nabbed all the kidnappers and took them to an unknown place.After a few "whoosh" noises, the car disappeared. The entire street was left with only Mia standing there, alone.She looked left and right, feeling incredibly lonely.No one cared for her. Loneliness and loss engulfed her like a tornado...Why has it come to this?Why does everyone love and care for Maria, but no one does for her?**********Hospital.After the doctor bandaged Maria, she looked at her hand, covered like a dumpling, and pouted in dissatisfaction."What can I do with my hand all bundled up like this?"Charles sat in silence next to her. No matter how cold his expression, he couldn't mask the worry in his eyes."You don't have to do anything. Just rest.""But how is that possible?"Maria sat on the ho
After waiting for a while, Amy Luo left.Looking at the many people still in the room, Charles couldn't help saying, "You all should have your own things to do, right? Go ahead and be busy, I'm here to look after Maria."Sat on a large sofa, Andrew shook his head indifferently, "I'm fine, I'll just stay here to accompany Maria."Charles frowned, "Isn't Mia supposed to participate in the elimination round today? Aren't you going to guide her?"Andrew's eyes darkened instantly, like Charles had brought up someone he found deeply repugnant. Even though he was still polite, his expression had left a deep impression that he hated Mia as much as he cherished Maria."Last-minute efforts are useless; besides, will she even listen to what I say?"If Mia was willing to listen, she wouldn't have left the hotel out of anger yesterday, causing the kidnapping incident.Having no other choice, Charles turned his attention towards Alexander Caine.Seeing Charles glance at him, Alexander Caine immedia
In the afternoon, the door of the ward was opened, and Linda came in curiously. "What are you guys doing? I heard Maria’s laughter from outside..."Maria waved at her with a smile, "They are playing Dou Di Zhu (a popular card game)."Linda came over with a smile, confused. "If it's them playing, then why are you so happy?""Hahaha..."Maria’s face was almost wreathed in smiles, her eyes lit up. "Because my husband won, I'm the one who gets the money. How can I not be happy?""Huh?"Linda looked at the three people sitting around the table. Andrew seemed okay, his face didn't give much away. But Alexander Caine's face looked awful!Linda chuckled and nudged him, "Did you lose?""Humph!"Alexander Caine snorted and angrily threw his cards on the table, "I haven't won a single hand!""Oh..."Linda looked at him sympathetically, "You poor thing.""That's not the most annoying part!"Alexander Caine was holding back a bellyful of anger. He finally found someone to vent on, and said angrily
The next day, outside the competition venue.Even though half of the participants had already finished their competition on the first day, the venue was still bustling with people today. Maria, holding her number plate, was carefully moving forward in Charles arms.Luna was leading the way."Excuse me, please make some space," she said to the left."Sorry, it's our turn soon, please make some space," she said to the right.Amidst the crowd, Luna pioneered a path and Charles protected Maria as they finally made it to the front.Staff were already shouting, "Get in line, get in line. Hurry up! Don't make a mess. Agents, family and friends, please stand at the back. Don't block the competitors' way. Everyone, please cooperate..."Maria’s number was seventy-eight. Looking left and right, she finally spotted someone with the number seventy-nine. She immediately approached her and politely said, "Excuse me, I'm number seventy-eight."The person was a blonde woman with green eyes. Westerner
The girl who was assigned number 77, who had enjoyed the drama earlier but hadn't said a word, gave Maria a thumbs up, "You're amazing! You dared to confront a contestant from Brussels!"Maria smiled and nodded politely to her without saying a word.Number 77 instantly grinned, brought her body closer to Maria, and complimented, "Your husband is so handsome!"Maria couldn't hold back her laughter.Looking at number 77 whose eyes sparkled, she nodded seriously, "Yes, my husband always looks so handsome!"Number 77 was obviously outgoing and wasn't shy around strangers. Even when she met Maria for the first time, she was natural and began chatting.The line moved quickly. Each competitor had only a minute for their performance. After one minute, they needed to leave the stage to make room for the next competitor.So, they didn't talk for long before they were at the entrance to the stage."Number 78, you need to give it your best! You just offended Emily. If you don't even pass the prel
Upon hearing, the judge on the left immediately widened his eyes, cursing in his heart, and took out his golden ticket as well."I said I'd give her mine. How did it become your turn? Shouldn't we have an order?"These four judges are also likely to enter the training camp later. And the hundred contestants who enter the training camp will be divided into four groups. Not only will they have their teacher's guidance, but they will also learn from the judge in their own group.So, these four golden tickets can actually reserve a spot in the elimination round. Each of the four judges would earmark one of the contestants they favor most to become a member of their group. so, the judge on the right became animated, "Hey! You just troubled her and made her play a piece with her injured hand. I'm more considerate, and will give the ticket without asking her to talk or play again!""Hey, you shameless old man! Have you no shame!? I discovered her and gave her the ticket first. And now you'
William's voice came from the earpiece, both nervous and flattering."Young Master Smith, it's like this. Mrs. Smith’s performance just now was really stunning, so much so that two of the judges actually fought over giving her their Fast Pass."Charles' deep pupils bristled sharply, and he instinctively looked towards Maria.At that moment, everyone's eyes fell on Charles' face. Seeing his expression, Maria's already depressed heart felt even more upset.Could it be... the results have been decided so soon?She was eliminated, and a call even came through Charles' phone...She mewled…Then she would be really unlucky! William's voice continued over the phone."The scene was a bit chaotic just now, so the staff let Mrs. Smith leave first."Talking about this, William laughed embarrassingly, "It seems we have made a fool of ourselves in front of you and Mrs. Smith."Charles' tightly knitted brows suddenly relaxed, and he chuckled, "Then what?""Then we stopped the two judges and every
Andrew had lost more than twenty years of his memory, but these two judges were a decade or so older than him and had been famous for a long time, so he retained some impression of them."Both of them should now be considered veteran figures in the piano world, right?""Right."Patrick nodded, looking at the two attachments on the computer screen, pointing to one and saying, "Let's open Hamya's first."At his words, Charles immediately opened Hamya's profile.As Patrick read from top to bottom, he couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, this profile is very detailed. It includes everything, even when he got married, when his children were born, haha..."Linda pouted and wrapped her arm around Maria’s arm, afraid her teacher would hear her as she whispered in Maria’s ear, "Ria, never choose this Hamya."Maria looked at her curiously, "Is he the sadistic demon or the smiling tiger?""Heh..."Linda snorted coldly, "He is the sadistic demon! I'm telling you, very few of his students can stand hi
