At this moment, Mia’s face was gloomy.She had secretly glanced at the three judges, and they had actually given Maria a perfect score of ten points!This was ridiculous.Mia was confused.How could they give her perfect scores?Seeing Mia hesitating to give a score, one of the judges jokingly asked, "Mia, is it really that difficult to give Maria a score?"Mia cursed in her heart and gave him a cold stare. Under his watchful eyes, she reluctantly gave Maria a score of 9.7.She really couldn't make it too obvious!Before leaving, Andrew specifically instructed her that if she wanted to regain her foothold in the piano world, this competition was her most important comeback show. If she couldn't be fair and impartial, who would dare to invite her in the future?So, she had to swallow her pride and give Maria a relatively high score.At this moment, she truly experienced the frustration of wanting to eliminate someone but being unable to do so.After seeing her score, the judge next to h

The Lesser family and the Caine family invited almost all the big shots in Beijing to attend Mia’s wedding. Due to the unparalleled status of the Lesser family in Beijing and the awkward identity of Alexander as the illegitimate son of the Caine family, the wedding was held at the Lesser family's mansion.Maria looked at the over a hundred luxury cars parked outside the mansion and couldn't help but gasp, "The Lesser family is really amazing. It seems that the guests are all prominent..."Charles furrowed his brow and turned to look at her, "Since your father has become the son of the Lesser family, you will also be a member of the Lesser family as long as you reunite with him, right?"Maria shook her head, "No, I only care about my dad. I have no desire for the identity of the daughter of the Lesser family. I just want to be with my dad like before."Charles looked at Maria’s face, and her determination deeply moved him."Alright!"He tightly held Maria’s hand and walked towards the

Maria had been waiting outside for half an hour.She didn't know what Charles was doing inside, but just as she was getting anxious, two girls suddenly approached her.When the two girls saw her, they smiled maliciously."Hey, aren't you Maria?"Maria looked at them. Both girls were very beautiful. One had a round face with very pretty features while the other also had a round face but it was slightly smaller than the first one.From their attire, Maria could tell that they were from some noble family.Seeing Maria examining them silently, the two girls chuckled mockingly and walked towards her. "Hey, Maria, my grandpa wants to see you. Come with me."Maria furrowed her brows and once again observed them. "Who is your grandpa?""My grandpa..."The girl raised her chin proudly, "My grandpa is Old Master Lesser!"The girl with a smaller face impatiently urged, "Hurry up. Don't make my grandpa wait."If Charles hadn't said those words to Maria before entering the yard, She might have re

Maria followed the girl from the Lesser family inside, and finally, the girl reached out her hand to her, "Ms. Swinton, please come in. Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser are waiting for you inside."Maria politely thanked her and took a deep breath before stepping forward.As she walked in, Old Mrs. Lesser and Old Master Lesser immediately noticed the slap mark on her face. If it were someone else, they would feel embarrassed, but Maria remained composed and confident as if nothing had happened.Maria stood in front of them and greeted them politely, "Old Master Lesser, Old Mrs. Lesser."Old Mrs. Lesser squinted her eyes instantly, exchanged a glance with Old Master Lesser, and saw the appreciation for Maria in his eyes as well.When Mia came, she ignored them and went straight to Andrew. Even though she was excited to see her father at the time, she didn't greet them when she saw them afterward.Maria was clearly slapped by someone from the Lesser family, but she harbored no res

Charles took Maria directly to the airport. They caught the 5 o'clock PM flight and arrived in San Diego at 7 o'clock PM.At 8 o'clock PM, they finally arrived home. Along the way, Maria didn't eat, drink, or even say a word.After returning home, she ran straight into her room, jumped onto the bed, and tightly wrapped herself in the blanket.In her mind, all she could see was the scenes of her being with Noah. Those warm and sweet moments were like thorns piercing into her heart.Charles poured a glass of warm water and walked into their room. Seeing her curled up, he walked over, placed the glass on the bedside table, and gently tugged at the blanket."Ria, can you tell me what happened?"Maria blinked her eyes several times before raising her head and looking confusedly at him.After a long time, she suddenly burst into tears, "Boo-hoo... Charles, tell me, who am I?""Huh?"Charles was momentarily confused, but then he remembered the doctor who had left the Lesser family's mansion
