"It did," Vivian mumbled unhappily.

“These days, her new identity as a five-star writer has become a hot topic again, which helped her gain support even from the literary circle," Patricia continued.

"Yes," Vivian squeezed out through gritted teeth

Leisurely tapping her fingers on her thigh, Patricia sneered, "A twenty-year-old five-star writer with only a high school education background... Isn't it a pity that she hasn't gone to college?"

“What? Mom, what do you mean?" Vivian asked in confusion.

Patricia shot her daughter a meaningful smile.

“It's the beginning of the new semester. What do you think will happen if I persuade the chairman of a private university to enroll Maria without making her sit for any exams?"

Vivian's eyes lit up.

“If Maria goes to college, she won't have time to act in the movie! If she turns down the offer to go to university, people will look down on her for not wanting to advance her education but if she enters university and misses her classes to work, people will also scold her for not taking her education seriously. Either way, fans will be disappointed in her!"

Pleased that Vivian had finally caught on, Patricia sneered, "Exactly. It's a checkmate.

No matter what Maria's choice is, it will have an impact on the box office results. The film producer will definitely decide to replace Maria with another actress."

"Hello, everyone. I'm Bill Jenkins, a director of the film and television company of Hughes Group." That was Bill's first tweet on his newly verified account.

As a director of a small film and television company, his first tweet on Twitter didn't get any attention.

A day after posting this, he only gained about a dozen followers, and most of them were accounts used for sending advertisements.

The second tweet on the other hand though, instantly attracted tens of thousands of followers for him.

"Thank you for the support you give my daughter, Maria

This went viral almost immediately. The news of Maria's father being on Twitter attracted a huge number of fans.

“Wow! Are you really Maria's father? I'm such a huge fan of your daughter!"

“Maria's father? That means he's my family as well."

“Don't talk nonsense! You're not related to Maria. How can you be their family?"

As Maria's popularity increased, she gained more fans with every day that went by.

So, even if Bill's account wasn't very interesting or didn't have any interesting content, the number of fans quickly increased because he was Maria's father.

Half a day later, Bill's followers on Twitter rose to four hundred thousand.

Practically all his new followers were loyal fans of Maria.
