“A Lot of people call me a troll, so I was worried that you'd look down upon me," the girl muttered, her cheeks blushing.

“I won't do that. We're a family, remember?"

When Vivian grabbed the girl's hand, her face turned redder.

Then, Vivian stopped and snapped her head in a particular direction. Just now, she spotted a familiar figure at the corner of her eye.

She knew that person. It was Maria.

Vivian's brows came down together in confusion.

What was Maria doing at the venue of Star Search?

ALL of a sudden, blazing rage erupted in Vivian's heart.

She had to work very hard to get the opportunity to come here. She became an apprentice of Kash, and she successfully completed the Writers' Association's one-star members’ evaluation.

That was not all. She obtained this opportunity thanks to her full-length novel called Song of Phoenix, which she “wrote” with all of her skill and vigor.

So, what was a nobody Like Maria doing here?

Had she written an article or published a novel before?

No, she had not.

Despite that, she visited the Sheffield Writers' Association, and now she even showed up at the venue of Star Search.

"The Wilson family must have pulled some strings for her. She probably begged Anthony so that she could come here. What the hell? Doesn't she have dignity?" Vivian muttered, Low enough that it was only audible to herself.

It was then that she saw Merlin, the Secretary General of the Sheffield Writers' Association, approach Maria.

He led Maria and accompanied her to browse the works of the one-star writers, just Like what he did for Felix earlier.

As it turned out, Merlin was not a suitable candidate to be the Sheffield Writers’ Association's next president. Compared to Maria, he was more shameless. Based on how he was acting Like Maria's servant, he must have gotten a lot of money from the Wilson family.

Vivian was so furious that she failed to notice a detail.

Maria was led by Merlin to exhibition areas that Felix had never visited.

Therefore, because Felix had already visited Vivian's exhibition area, Merlin did not bring Maria there.

“Wait, Hey, that person with Merlin. Vivian, isn't she your sister? That's Maria, right?"

Kash, who also noticed Maria, could not conceal his shock.

Then, he grew confused when he figured out that Maria and Merlin were appraising the works of the one-star writers together.
