Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621 Being Mean On Purpose

As intense discussions continued on the Web, Derrick organized a press conference.

Amelia accompanied Tiffany to attend it. Oscar and Derrick were there too.

Amelia asked, “Tiff, are you nervous?”

“I’m not nervous. I’ve been to all kinds of author fan meetings and am long used to it. Therefore, a few reporters do not bother me,” Tiffany answered confidently. She had enough of being pushed around by these persistent reporters for the past few days. Therefore, she was eager to teach them a lesson.

Amelia helped Tiffany smoothen the wrinkles on her skirt and said, “Still, it is better to be cautious. These reporters are sly and skilled at creating headlines to grab the public’s attention. Thus, you have to be careful with what you say.”

“I know. I will catch these reporters unprepared,” Tiffany replied confidently.

Once everything was ready, a coordinator came to them and said, “Ms. Winters, it’s almost time. You can enter the press conference whenever you are ready.”

“Sure.” Tiffany tidied her skirt and walked onto the stage as the host introduced her. She answered questions from the reporters calmly.

Amelia stood and watched below the stage. She said with a smile, “Tiff has grown up. I have never seen how she was at work. Now, I finally saw her charismatic side.”

Oscar wrapped his arms around her waist and replied, “There are good reasons why she became a best-selling author. She is sharp and thinks quickly on her feet. Although she seems clumsy, she is skilled in dealing with work and people.”

Amelia looked up at Oscar with a smile. “Oscar, Tiff would be elated if she hears you praising her like this.”

Oscar smirked and did not comment.

The press conference went on for an hour. The reporters kept posing all kinds of questions to Tiffany. They asked whether she plagiarized her novel and posed questions about Oscar and Julian’s investment in it. Then, they asked about Tiffany’s love life.

Tiffany answered their questions professionally. Concerning the question about her love life, she smiled and said, “My boyfriend is the employer in my present company. He was the one who discovered my writing talent and is also a strict employer with me. He is also the boyfriend that had been with me since the beginning. Our relationship is strong, and we have plans to get married soon. I hope everyone will celebrate the wedding with us.”

The reporters in attendance quickly wrote down what they heard and followed up with many more questions. Tiffany answered them one by one.

After the reporters left, Tiffany walked down from the stage. Derrick went to her and kissed her on her lips as if no one was around. “Tiff, you finally willing to admit that I am your boyfriend.”

Tiffany hit his chest playfully.

“Tiff, you are amazing.” Amelia came over and complimented Tiffany.

“Babe, thank you for staying here for me.” Tiffany thanked Amelia sincerely.

Amelia wanted to reply something, but a loud commotion sounded from behind her.

Amelia and Tiffany glanced in the direction of the noise and saw Kate.

Kate was a beautiful woman. Her beauty exceeded most actresses. Furthermore, she usually kept a low profile. Therefore, her sudden appearance stunned the reporters who were packing their things. The other staff on the scene also stopped what they were doing and stared at Kate walk in like a queen.

Tiffany clenched her fists unconsciously. Her heart was beating rapidly.

Derrick held her clenched hand and quietly channeled his strength to her.

Tiffany glanced at him and looked into his eyes. She instantly understood what he wanted to tell her.

I am here. Don’t be scared.

Tiffany’s heart calmed instantly.

Kate came to them and smiled. “Oscar is here too. Seems like a lively press conference.”

Oscar gave her a polite nod.

Derrick asked, “Mom, what brings you here?”

Kate smiled and replied, “I just wanted to look at the woman who plagiarized her novel. I was curious about how she could get the heir of Clinton Corporations and a young man from the Hayes family to help her. Of course, let’s not forget my silly son’s unconditional assistance.”

Derrick furrowed his brow.

“Mom, I have reserved a place for dinner. Why don’t you join us? We can talk then,” Derrick said.

Thankfully, Kate did not cause a scene. She nodded and said, “Sure, let’s have dinner. I do feel a little hungry.”

Then, they headed to the restaurant Derrick reserved. The hostess led them to a private dining room.

Then, the hostess brought three menus. Oscar passed his menu to Amelia, while Derrick gave his menu to Tiffany. On the other hand, Kate took a menu and said icily, “My son still doesn’t know the food I like even after all these years and only cares about another woman. It seems I have failed quite badly as a mother.”

Hearing Kate, Amelia and Tiffany turned to Kate at the same time.

Tiffany said, “Mrs. Hisson, I remember you liked black pepper steak. Let me order it for you.”

Kate replied, “Tiffany, I don’t know whether you have done this intentionally. I have weak digestion. The doctor advised me to avoid spicy food. Yet, you wish to order something spicy for me. What are you getting at?”
