Anyway, it was wonderful news for the creation and publicity of the movie that Vivian was the author of Song of Phoenix

The only thing that disappointed Julie was Vivian's pseudonym.

Why was her nom de plume Polly Miller and not Polly Jenkins or Polly Smith?

"Mom, what's wrong with calling myself Polly?"

Vivian was a Little too complacent.

“My pseudonym is cute, don't you think? It took me a long time to discuss it with Aunt Patricia!”

Julie fell silent again when she heard this.

Her daughter had turned to Patricia for her career advice. She had even decided the pseudonym with Patricia and Julie only found out about it when the novel was about to be made into a movie.

She was upset and felt alienated. How and when did Patricia become such a significant part of Vivian's life Like she was Vivian's mother?

"Mom, Aunt Patricia wants me to ask you something." Vivian's face broke into a sweet smile.

Julie knew that smile only too well. Her daughter wanted something from her.

"What?" Julie asked, feeling on edge. "When can you transfer the money into her account?" Vivian asked Like a spoiled child.

“She needs to know. Mom! You know we can't start filming until you make the investment."

Julie sighed sadly.

Money!

It was always about money.

In the twenty years that she had raised Vivian, the Jenkins family had spent tons of money on her.

Vivian's birthday gift alone ran into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Julie hired famous masters at ridiculously high prices to tutor Julie in music and acting.

But up to now, Vivian did not show any gratitude. Instead, she kept on demanding more money for various things. Now she wanted money to invest in her movie.

Vivian's demands were like a bottomless pit. Julie felt she could never satisfy her.
