"Don't worry," Patricia replied. "Let's watch her performance in this new reality show first." Patricia smiled.

There was no substitute for experience, so Vivian trusted Patricia's words.

Following Patricia's advice, Vivian patiently watched the video and live streaming of the show Taste of Childhood.

Suddenly!

Vivian found dirt on Maria! Maria told a lie!

“Aunt Patricia, Maria said she was good at all her subjects in high school. That can't be true!"

Patricia nodded. "She got good grades in all the subjects? It looked like she was pretending to be a straight-A student. That has indeed become the most effective way to gain fans in recent years. It seems that Maria is determined to earn her place in the entertainment circle."

Straight-A student?

Vivian sneered!

Turning to her father, Vivian said, "Dad, please go to the countryside to confirm whether Maria was a straight-A student or not. The middle school she attended must have her student file!"

Vivian was extremely keen to know the result.

“Is that really feasible?" Bill asked. Frowning, he said, “Even if I did go find it, Maria's student file is probably confidential."

Seeing that he was conflicted, Patricia reminded him, "Bill, don't forget that you're Maria's adoptive father. As her guardian, you have every right to see her student file."

Bill was stunned for a moment, but then he Laughed.

“You're right! I'm Maria's adoptive father. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered!"

Vivian didn't have to wait too long for what happened next.

That afternoon, Bill went out into the countryside and visited the middle school Maria had attended.

Presenting Maria's adoption papers, he easily got access to her student tile.

After glancing at a few pages, Bill called Vivian excitedly.

“Vivian, my smart daughter! Your guess was right!"

Vivian's heart raced. "Dad, what does it say, specifically?”

Judging from Bill's tone, he had good news. The excitement in the air was palpable.

“I got Maria's student file. At some point the school's archive flooded due to heavy rain, so Maria's first and second year results were destroyed. But the results of her third year of high school are still intact and I've seen all her grades. You can guess the result.”

“Dad, don't make me guess," Vivian whined, “Just tell me!" Vivian was almost shaking with anticipation.
