Vivian was well aware that the Smith family were capable of gathering intelligence if they wanted to. Her mother would find out the truth soon.

Besides, the Smith family owned several shops in that pedestrian.

As long as they checked the surveillance camera footage at the entrance of these shops, they might even be able to get the picture of the man beside Maria.

“Vivian, enough," Julie said coldly.

Vivian was shocked to have been scolded.

Not only did her mother show no interest in investigating, but she also took on an impatient tone!

“I know for a fact that you're wrong, because I'm also on this street. I ran into Maria just now."

Julie deliberately Lowered her voice so that Ian wouldn't hear her.

“Your sister is not messing around with another man. The man who was shopping with her was Anthony. I saw it with my own eyes."

Julie thought that this was enough to change Vivian's mind.

However, on the other end of the line, Vivian's expression only darkened.

“Mom!" she whined incessantly.

“What on earth are you talking about? That man wasn't Anthony. Don't you understand? Maria's having an affair!"

Without waiting for a response, Vivian hung up the phone angrily.

At that moment, she finally realized something.

Her mother truly favored Maria over her.

Julie even lied to cover for the bitch!

Maria was to go back to Sheffield the following day. She managed to complete the adaptation of the script, “The Female Military Counsellor".

“The Female Military Counsellor" was to be divided into a trilogy, so even if the novel wasn‘t finished yet, it didn't hinder the creation of the first part of the series.

Maria then sent a soft copy of the script to Greta, who immediately called her back.

“Jesus Christ! You finished the script so quickly. Will you finish the novel soon?”

Hearing the excitement in Greta's voice, Maria was at a loss whether to cry or to Laugh.

Greta always pressured her like this. She never allowed Maria to rest, even for just a few days.

The cruelest capitalist almost had to show the white feather in front of Greta.
