“Julie, I invited you here today to discuss something about our daughter, Vivian."

Our daughter! Did Patricia actually say “our daughter"? Julie had to hide her impulse to Laugh.

And she was indeed successful in restraining her outburst of laughter. She didn't reply to Patricia, but instead, she directed her attention to Vivian.

“What's wrong with Vivian?" asked Julie.

No matter how many dirty things happened between Bill and Patricia, Julie never denied the fact that Vivian was her adopted child. She still cared about her.

Even today, she was still willing to do her duty as a mother for Vivian within reasonable limits.

"Mom..."

Vivian struggled to get the word out of her mouth.

Especially since Patricia was sitting next to her.

“Mom, I'm planning to announce my pen name to promote the movie. The influence of Aunt Patricia's company is too small. I am worried about the box office of my first movie. It should not be a non-event."

Julie nodded, fully comprehending Vivian's point.

Although she never mentioned it, she still cared that Vivian's new movie should be a success.

The movie was an adaptation of Vivian's original novel, Song of Phoenix. It was a controversial novel on the Internet as she was accused of plagiarism.

Julie's silence annoyed Vivian a little, but she did not show it on her face.

Vivian forced a sweet smile and said, "Mom, can you talk to the Smith family in Broome and ask them to help me with the publicity? It will be great if they can show their support when I announce my identity as the original author of the novel.”

As a top clan, the influence of the Smith family was a winner.

Many of its companies were important sponsors in the entertainment circle. If they all showed up to support her, the box office of the movie, Song of Phoenix, would be guaranteed.

But most importantly, if the Smith family expressed their support, it translated to their confirming that Polly hadn't plagiarized from Mia.

Vivian believed Mia wouldn't be able to do anything about it, since she was still Living in the Smith family home, recuperating.

When Vivian completed her plea, she looked at Julie expectantly.

She felt she was not asking for a lot. Would Julie have the heart to refuse her daughter?

Bill also stuck up for Vivian. "That's also what I wanted to say, Julie. Your father is Vivian's grandfather. Although he has passed away, I don't believe the Smith family will be apathetic towards Vivian's needs. The Smith family only needs to express their support. Not a big deal, right? It won't even cost you a penny."

Patricia was smart enough to keep silent on this matter. She could feel the change in Julie's attitude towards her, so naturally she wouldn't embarrass herself by speaking out of turn.

Suddenly, the room was filled with an eerie silence. Julie didn't speak and nobody dared urge her.
