Too Much To Bear, My Love Chapter 595
Chapter 595 Did She Do It
In the house, Tiffany struggled out of Derrick’s embrace. Folding her arms across her chest, she asked,
“Derrick, what does she mean? Did all the investors for the movie adaptation of my novel pull out?
Why? I thought everything was going on smoothly.”
Tiffany cared more than anyone else about the production of the movie that was adapted from her
novel. She would not allow anyone to dy her work as she regarded her work as her children.
Tiffany was very sure that Oscar would agree to help her if she asked Amelia. He would definitely be
willing to invest in her movie. In addition, with the Clintons’ connections, many investors would also
rush to invest in her work, but nevertheless, Tiffany still wanted to know the reason why the investors
changed their minds all of a sudden. Is it because my novel isn’t good enough or is something pulling a
trick behind the scenes?
Tiffany did not want anyone to belittle her work.
Derrick replied, “I will resolve this issue. Don’t worry about it.”
“I just want to know the reason. Why did they pull out?” Tiffany cast him an intent nce and said.
Derrick pursed his lips, and a conflicted look flitted across his face. When Tiffany saw his expression, a
bitter smile hung on her lips. She finally understood what happened.
“Did Old Mrs. Hisson pressure the investors to pull out?” Tiffany asked softly.
“Tiff.” Derrick was put in a tough spot.
However, Tiffany looked at him and shrugged. “I’m sorry, I just want to know if Old Mrs. Hisson was
behind this.”
It was then Derrick finally nodded, confirming her suspicions.
Tiffany regained herposure and smiled. “Old Mrs. Hisson must dislike me a lot. She even wants to
destroy my work.”
Derrick raised his hand, wanting to touch her face, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
“I’m sorry. I will try to resolve this as soon as possible.”
Tiffany smiled. “It’s all right. Earlier on, Amelia asked me if I needed her help in making the movie, and I
declined her offer. I can always ask her again. I’m sure she’ll be more than willing to help. If Oscar
steps in, I’m sure the other investors will also be willing to pump in their money for this production. I just
want Old Mrs. Hisson to know that even though my family background and education are not the best, I
am still worthy of your love. I am Oscar’s godsister and Amelia’s best friend. I want the Hissons to know
that I am good enough for you.”
Derrick’s eyes were filled with sympathy for her.
“Tiff, I’m so sorry. Two years ago, I made a promise to protect you. But in the end, you still got hurt,” he
said softly.
“My mentality is extremely strong. How can I be hurt so easily? I still want to marry you and have your
family ept me. How can I be defeated by this small setback? If I crumble so easily, I am really not
worthy of your love,” Tiffany dered confidently. The more problems she encountered, the stronger
she became.
Perhaps if no one provoked her, Tiffany would carry on with life as it was. But now that someone had
gotten under her skin, she vowed to get stronger as she would never admit defeat.
As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. It was no wonder she was best friends
with Amelia.
Derrick was tickled by her response. “You…”
“Don’t you find me adorable?”
“You are indeed very lovable.”
Tiffany gave him a prideful smile.
“Other than the investors dropping my screen adaptation, are the novels of the other authors affected?”
she asked.
Derrick ced his hands around her waist and tried to change the subject by saying, “Let’s go upstairs
to take a shower. It’s gettingte, so we should turn in soon.”
“Derry, we are a couple. I hope you won’t hide anything from me from now on. Otherwise, I’ll be very
unhappy.” Tiffany pressed Derrick for a response.
“There are some problems with thepany’s operations. Although we’re still growing, it’s still a small
setuppared to the Hissons. My mom is serious this time. She is bent on making me give in to her.
Don’t worry. I will settle this.” Derrick tried to assure Tiffany.
Tiffany let out augh.
“Old Mrs. Hisson is really determined to break us up.” Tiffany cupped Derrick’s face in her hands.
“Derry, what if thepany is forced to go bankrupt one day? Will you give in to your family and marry
someone of their choice?”
Derrick snorted.
“If I’m someone who gives in so easily, I wouldn’t have set up a publishingpany myself and built
the business up single-handedly. I’ve already told them that I will only go back to inherit the family
business on one condition, and that is to marry you. I am certain that Granddad will give in eventually
unless they do not wish to see the family business flourish.”
Derrick sounded very optimistic, and Tiffany broke into a smile upon hearing his words. “Looks like you
are really confident.”
“Otherwise, how can I marry you?”
Tiffany was finally won over by his sweet talk.
“Can we go take a bath and sleep now? It’ste.”
Tiffany nodded.
It was a dreamless night.
The next day, Tiffany went to look for Amelia.
“Babe, I need your help,” Tiffany asked Amelia directly.
Thetter looked at Tiffany as she held her teacup, feeling amused.
Tiffany shrugged her shoulders. “It’s always good to be polite.”
“Go on, tell me what happened,” Amelia badgered her friend.
“The investors for my screen adaptation have pulled out. I would like to ask if Oscar is interested in the
movie. I can let him be my major investor,” Tiffany exined.
Amelia took a nce at Tiffany as she ced the teacup on the table. “What happened? Didn’t you say
that there are many people who are keen to invest in your movie? Isn’t that why you didn’t need
Oscar’s help? Why did they pull out suddenly?”
Tiffanyughed bitterly. “What else? It’s the Hissons. The investors pulled out because they didn’t want
to offend them.”
Amelia looked at her with interest. “That’s quick. Looks like they can’t wait to take action.”
“Babe, don’t tell me you’re gloating over this!”
“Of course not. I’m just curious what will Derrick do. Will he choose this Cindere, or give in and marry
someone his family chooses?”
Tiffany rolled her eyes. “Babe, are you happy to see me suffer?”
Amelia merely smiled but did not say a word.
“Babe, I really want to have this novel adapted into a movie. You have to help me this time. I want to
show the Hissons that Oscar did not take me as a godsister for nothing, and we are really best friends,”
Tiffany vowed.
“Don’t worry. I’ve spoken to Oscar earlier. I told him to help you if your film runs into any problems. I
know this novel is very important to you, and I won’t sit around, doing nothing about it. Coincidentally,
Julian just set up his own entertainmentpany. He has already read your fantasy novel and likes it
very much. He’s also keen on investing. I didn’t tell you about it as you rejected my help earlier. Now
that you’re asking me for help, I can arrange for a meeting between the both of you.” Amelia took a sip
of her tea.
“That’s wonderful, Babe! Thank you!” Tiffany was ted and kissed Amelia on her cheek.
“Stop using those terms from the inte. My face is now full of your saliva.” Amelia wiped her face, not
knowing whether tough or to cry.
Just as they were bantering, Amelia’s phone rang. It was Dominic.
Frowning, Amelia answered the call. Dominic’s voice was trembling on the other end of the phone.
“Amelia,e to the hospital quickly. Spencer just threw up, and he’s now unconscious.”
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go over now.” Amelia hung up immediately.
“What happened?” Tiffany ran after her.
“I don’t know. My dad said Spencer vomited again. I didn’t go to the hospital yesterday as I was afraid
my mom might get agitated if she sees me. Oscar did not want to bother with this matter as he did not
want to see me suffer. Now, something has happened, and I don’t know what’s going on.” Amelia tried
hard to stay calm as she exined to Tiffany.
“Babe, I don’t think you should go to the hospital. Mrs. Winters is not in a good mood. Why don’t I go
and take a look on your behalf?” Tiffany suggested.
“It’s all right. I can handle this.”
Since Amelia insisted on going to the hospital herself, Tiffany could only apany her there.
Amelia quickly walked up to Dominic when she arrived at the hospital. “Dad, what happened? Didn’t
you tell me over the phone yesterday that Spencer is awake? Why did he vomit again?”
Before Dominic could reply, Mnie already rushed up to Amelia. Raising her hand, she struck Amelia
on her face.
“You jinx! It must be you! My son wouldn’t be in this state if not for you!” Dominic tried to restrain
Mnie, as she berated Amelia.
“Enough! Are you satisfied only when you’ve pushed Amelia far away?” He tried to stop Mnie from
scolding Amelia.

However, Mnie continued to re at Amelia viciously.
Tiffany pulled Amelia behind her and turned to Mnie. “Mrs. Winters, it’s been ten years since west
met, but you haven’t changed one bit. You are so tantly using Amelia. If I were Amelia, I would
have torn you into pieces long ago.”
Mnie looked at Tiffany, puzzled. She could not remember who this person was.
Raising her eyebrows, Tiffany taunted, “Mrs. Winters, have you forgotten who I am? I don’t me you.
You’ve even forgotten that Amelia is your daughter when all is well at home. Now that something
happened to your son, you start finding fault with her again. It’s bad enough that you’ve always treated
your daughter like a cash cow. Now, something’s happened to your son, and you’re ming Amelia for
it. You’re so thick-skinned that I’m rendered speechless.”
Mnie’s face turned pale when she heard Tiffany insulting her.
“Y-You are so rude!” Mnie stuttered.
“I’m nothingpared to you.” Tiffany continued to sneer at her.
Mnie turned to look at Amelia, who was hiding behind Tiffany. “Amelia, are you going to stand by
and watch your friend bully me?”
Amelia tugged at Tiffany as she emerged from behind her. “Mom, can we go take a look at Spencer
first? We can talkter.”
Upon hearing that, Mnie finally calmed down.
