Had she known it earlier, she wouldn't have brought Mathias the book! Vivian felt angry but did not know with whom she should be upset. After all, reading preference was a matter of personal choice. She was unable to convince her grandfather to like her novel.

Vivian then had the abrupt realization that her being the author of the novel would be released to the public at some point. She might be able to keep it a secret from her grandfather for the time being, but he would find out eventually.

How humiliating would it be for her when she came to visit the Smith family in the future if her grandfather truly believed Song of Phoenix was plagiarized!

Vivian thought about this and Lied through her teeth, saying, “Grandpa, it is true that Song of Phoenix is a little comparable to Female Military Counsellor. Maybe it is a tribute to Mia from a new author.

You probably don't know, but Mia has never stated that Song of Phoenix plagiarized Female Military Counsellor."
