Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 652 Celebration Party

With Stephanie married, Amelia’s days became more peaceful. Work seemed to be going in the right direction too; Shane had appointed her as the next director of the design department, and her coworkers, who acknowledged her drawing abilities, congratulated her.

Everything seemed to be on track.

The woman herself felt more content too. Meanwhile, production for the film adaptation of the fantasy novel that Oscar had helped Stephanie invest in was now complete, and many big names had attended the press conference to announce the release of the film, which was set to be on the eighth of the following month.

Due to its previously dispelled rumors and scandals as well as Oscar, Derrick, and Julian’s control over the internet, the film had already gained much attention even before its release. In fact, just its trailer and main theme song had managed to garner a large number of views and comments. It wasn’t long until the videos gained over one billion clicks and millions of comments. Netizens were also highly interested in the relationship between the primary and secondary male leads.

The film went on to record thirty million in sales on its first day of release, and the number doubled by the next day. By the time it stopped airing in cinemas, it sold over three billion worth of tickets, surpassing the film in second place by tens of millions and instantly becoming the dark horse of the industry. It gained wide coverage in every mass media and received a nine point eight rating on IMDb. There were some internet trolls who had tried to bring it down but to no avail.

After deducting the costs of investment and other expenses, Oscar and Julian made tons of money from the film and were naturally pleased.

However, Tiffany was the happiest of them all. The author of the film was now sitting in Amelia’s apartment with her legs crossed, placing Tony on her lap. “Your godmother’s film is a hit, Tony! I just became the most popular author because people started looking up my novel after watching the movie, and I sold millions of copies in just one month! I’m going to buy you lots of snacks! I’m a rich woman now, you know?”

Amelia walked out of the kitchen with a plate of sliced fruits, shaking her head at the sight of Tiffany laughing hysterically. “You’re going to scare Tony if you keep that up, Tiff.”

Tiffany’s legs couldn’t stop moving as she glanced at Amelia. “But I’m genuinely happy, Amelia! The movie’s success really delivered a slap to the faces of those trolls who kept talking smack about it. Now I’ve shown them that I never plagiarized anyone!”

Amelia understood how her best friend felt and was truly happy for her.

She placed the fruits on the table and carried Tony over. “When is the celebration party?”

“Tonight. I came here precisely to invite you and Oscar to come. He was the biggest investor and the reason this movie sold so well. I really need to thank him for that. All the credit goes to him,” remarked Tiffany in a serious tone, which was very unlike her.

Amelia handed her an apple slice. “Have some fruit.”

Tiffany ranted on after munching on the apple, “You have no idea how happy I am to see the movie breaking records, Babe. I even ran to the bridge just to scream my heart out! I said I’m not some lowly author; I’m an author whose books people actually read, unlike what those trolls said about me. Based on the movie’s reviews, many people think my novel this time isn’t just about fear. It managed to get people to ponder the dark side of society, and that’s more than enough for me. That’s the biggest compliment an author can get.”

Tiffany’s eyes reddened as she spoke.
