She then took out a hardcover book and handed it to Mathias.

“Grandpa, please take a look at this. It's my gift for you."

“What?

Mathias seemed to not hear her words clearly, so he showed a puzzled expression.

He looked at Vivian with furrowed brows before turning his gaze into the hardcover book.

“What the hell is this? A book?" Mathias asked loudly.

Vivian felt that the old man's spittle was sprayed all over her face, but she didn't say a thing about it. She could only endure until she achieved her goal.

Even when Mathias blatantly dismissed the book, she suppressed her anger and pretended not to hear it.

"Yes, Grandpa. It's a book, a famous one! Recently, it has been gaining lots of fans on the Internet!"

Vivian remarked complacently before deliberately glaring at Maria.

The look in her eyes seemed to say that she had prepared a huge revelation. With it, Maria was about to go down.

Once Mathias asked her the title of the book and who wrote it, she would proudly announce that she was actually the original author of the book--Song of Phoenix!

Then, everyone in the Smith family, especially Mathias, would have a clear distinction regarding the two sisters.

One was a genius with lots of talents, while the other only knew how to serve tea and flatter people. Vivian wanted to show everyone that Maria wasn't on her level.

After all, she had received elite education and training since she was a child. How could she lose to Maria, a girl who only graduated high school and was raised in the countryside?

“Song of Phoenix?”

Mathias slowly read the title after he put on a pair of reading glasses.

Then, he nodded as if he recognized it. "I know this one. The author of this book plagiarized Mia's Female Military Counsellor!"

“Huh?" Vivian was stunned, and her face immediately turned red in shame.

Of course, this news was also all over the Internet.
