But how could an old man like Mathias be updated with things Like this? Why did he even know Mia? Was he perhaps a fan?

Hearing this unexpected response, the corners of Vivian's mouth twitched a few times. Her expression became stiff, but she tried to regain her composure.

“Grandpa, where did you hear that? The author didn't plagiarize. It should be a mistake."

“Humph! How are you so sure?"

Hearing what she said, Mathias suddenly seemed to have a lot of newfound energy.

He then opened a drawer of the cabinet beside him, taking out a book from it.

Upon seeing this, Vivian's eyes widened in shock

There were three words on the cover of the book-Female Military Counsellor.

Then, under the title, there was a line of words in small fonts. It read, “Hardback version by Mia Society." Beneath that line were three more words--Not For Sale.

It turned out to be a hardcover version of the Female Military Counsellor.

Vivian knew that as Mia's most authoritative fan organization, Mia Society would definitely produce limited copies of hardcover versions for her every work. Of course, those were not for sale, and only important people could get their hands on them.

Moreover, this meant that this version was approved by Mia herself. It must be a gift for the members of Mia Society.

Therefore, Mathias really turned out be Mia's fan?

At this moment, Vivian wanted to find a hole and bury herself into it. In front of Mia's loyal fans, even if she tried to think of countless excuses, they would easily point out the facts why the Song of Phoenix was just a plagiarized version of the Female Military Counsellor.

Fortunately, Mathias suddenly said, “Well, this book was just given to me by a dear friend. I heard that the author was yet to finish the book's entirety."

Hearing this, Vivian was able to breathe a great sigh of relief.

Mathias wasn't a big fan of Mia. The book was just given to him by someone else. Knowing this, Vivian suddenly had courage again.

“Grandpa, you can't just believe any rumor that you see or hear in the Internet! The book Song of Phoenix is so excellent that people are just getting jealous. So, they are maliciously attacking the author. discrediting her talent!" Vivian explained cautiously but vigorously.

She felt that it shouldn't be difficult to fool such an old man, who wasn't really knowledgeable when it came to Mia's works.

Then, she couldn't help but take a look at Maria, who was standing next to her. Of course, Maria was different. She should be more aware and familiar with Mia's works. Hence, Vivian was afraid that her sister might suddenly say something to embarrass her.
