Chapter: 899
She was already certain of getting extraordinary comments from Felix. Finally, Felix opened his mouth to say something, but it wasn't what everyone had expected. "I'd like to ask, Miss Jenkins...
Did you write this book yourself?"
The smile on Vivian's lips froze and her face fell instantly. What was this?
“Of course, Mr. Gomez. Song of Phoenix is my original work."
She tried to sound confident, but his question had caught her off-guard and now, it was difficult to hide the fear in her voice.
Instead of sounding as confident as she wanted to, her voice unconsciously rose more than it was supposed to, making her look guilty. Vivian didn't know what to do. How she wished she hadn't participated in today's event at all.
"Really?" There was no emotion on Felix's face, but the tone of his voice said a lot.
He pursed his Lips and then nodded before adding, “Well, you see, I've never read your work before, but I've read something quite similar to this in another author's book.”
The expression on his face was still neutral.
He didn't say it out loud, but they all understood what he was implying. Vivian had plagiarised!
But of course, no one dared to voice out their thoughts. If Felix wasn't throwing the word in her face, who were they to?
Yes, plagiarism was illegal, but so was slander.
In the literary world, the guests present might have a higher position and influence than Vivian, but if they left this place, Vivian was far more famous and influential than they were. After all, she was both an artist and the famous online writer, Polly.
No one was willing to be accused of slander by Vivian the star, or Polly the writer. It would be worse if her lawyer got involved.

“Excuse me, Mr. Gomez, but I'm confused. Maybe there is some misunderstanding somewhere," Vivian said in a low voice.
She couldn't afford to be arrogant or presumptuous in front of such a big figure.
However, she needed to find a way to turn this situation to her advantage. Felix was really old and a senior too.
Could he actually be Mia's fan?
Vivian quickly discarded that thought. He couldn't be.
Last year, Mia's Global Fan Club verified a trending topic that had been spreading on the Internet. It was said that Mia's oldest fan was a man who just turned seventy that year.
It couldn't be Felix because he was already more than 80 years old. Besides, if someone as important as him had been Mia‘s fan, then that news would have been out by now.
Vivian reasoned out that if Felix was not a fan of Mia, then he must have never read "Female Military Counsellor." This was her way out.
“Misunderstanding?
