“May I know how you and Maria are related? Are you her cousin? Her uncle? Or... Her boyfriend? I'm so curious!"

Maria had never mentioned whether she was single or not before, and her fans were excited to see her clarify her relationship status.

But being thoughtful of Maria's condition, they didn't make too much of a fuss about it.

Of course, curious comments continued to pour into Maria's Twitter post, but neither she nor Anthony replied.

“Everyone, don't waste your time speculating on what their relationship is. Don't you notice there's something more important in his comment?" a responsible fan reminded everyone.

“You're right! What did Anthony say just now? That Maria is writing something? How about we speculate about that? Is Maria branching out in her career?”

“If she's writing something, what could that be?"

“Is she an editor?"

"What if she is writing a novel?"

“Wow! If Maria is really writing a novel, I can't wait to read it." That Maria was working a novel was the most popular guess from her fans, even if they didn't know how right they were.

The “speculation” spread like wildfire over the Internet and even became a trending topic.

At the same time, at the office building of the Hughes Group

Vivian was casually scrolling through her phone when she saw a piece of news that made her freeze in shock.

“Maria will return to work and is writing a novel? She will enter the world of web novels?”

Vivian couldn't believe what she was seeing.

After quickly scanning the news article, she went to check the comments on Maria's Twitter account.

“Mom! Maria is such a copycat. She wants to write novels just Like me." Vivian immediately went to Patricia.

“What is she thinking? Why does she want to copy me?”

Hearing this, Patricia pondered over the matter with a frown. "Maybe she now wants to portray herself as a versatile talent in front of the public."

"What?" A look of annoyance crossed Vivian's face, even if she didn't fully understand what Patricia meant.

Patricia explained, “Now everyone knows that she's indeed a straight A student. But after the matter dies down, people will definitely laugh at her for not having a college degree. But if she becomes a novelist, things will be different. She will be considered an intelligent woman. Haha, it's actually not a bad idea!"

Vivian's face soured. She said through gritted teeth, "Yeah, but I don't know who came up with this idea! It seems that there is a professional team helping her!"

Patricia nodded thoughtfully. "Maybe."

“Mom! I have an idea."
