The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 479

Jessica hadn't realized that her comic was gaining traction among the public until she checked her phone. The readers had clicked on her comic out of curiosity, only to find that it was just as intriguing and high-quality as promoted. As such, her work started to become popular.

A satisfied smile curved Jessica's lips. She checked the showcase and saw that merchandise sales were increasing rapidly. The person in charge had made good on their word, after all. Most of the readers who had clicked on her comic were not bots but real-life people. Jessica brimmed with pride. Her work gained immense popularity even though she had invested only a million dollars into marketing.

She could already taste the success that a two or three-million-dollar investment would bring her. If she invested 10 million dollars into marketing, would her comics become a hit on mainstream media? Just thinking about the internet going crazy over her comics thrilled her, though she willed herself to stay composed.

She made a rough sales estimate after reviewing the merchandise sales numbers and decided to place new orders with the manufacturers.

The manufacturers initially believed Jessica was a small-time collaborator. Upon seeing her large order, they proceeded to give her discounts. She did the math in her head and realized her profits would be astounding if she did not have to split them with Steven. Taking a deep breath, Jessica tried to keep her excitement in check as she thanked the manufacturers. After replying to all the messages, she fell into deep thought.
