Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 806

Chapter 806

At the movie press conference where Derrick was the producer, Kate brought Crystal to the event.

When Derrick saw the duo, an impatient glint flashed in his eyes. Holding his hand, Tiffany shook her head at him.

Derrick gripped her hand and told her guiltily, "I'm sorry, Tiff."

At that, Tiffany was amused and asked, "Did you do something that you need to say sorry for?"

Derrick was stunned for a moment, gazing at Tiffany more affectionately. Then, he reached out his hand to caress her cheek and planted a kiss on her nose. "Thank you for understanding. I'm so lucky to be able to marry you."

Tiffany smiled plainly in response, but a gloomy look flashed across her eyes.

Kate did not even bother hiding her annoyance for Tiffany. To outsiders, Crystal seemed more like her daughter-in-law than Tiffany was, placing the latter in an awkward place. Although she was Derrick's wife, she did not get the respect she deserved from the Hissons. When Derrick was not at home, some housekeepers even deliberately ignored her.

After Tiffany married into the Hisson family, she faced restrictions in whatever she did. In comparison, her life before marriage was way more interesting.

Without a doubt, she had sacrificed a lot for this marriage.

Kate led Crystal over and said, "Derrick, I wish for nothing but success for your movie. I saw all the achievements you made for yourself along the way, and I'm proud of you."

Crystal also passed him a gift and smiled politely. "Derrick, I hope your second movie will be successful. You’re one of the most successful businessmen I saw jumping from the publishing industry to the entertainment industry. I'm very proud of you. Once you take over Hisson Group, I'm sure your career will prosper even more."

Derrick took over the gifts and exchanged a few words of pleasantries before making an excuse, leading Tiffany away.

Seeing that, Crystal did not get angry. After all, her hastiness was the reason to blame for missing her chance with Derrick. As such, she was willing to wait now. She had devised many plans-even driving Tiffany's brother into a corner-just to make Kate hate Tiffany more. As her plan was bound to succeed, she would not give up halfway on something she had poured so much effort into.

Fearing Crystal would get angry, Kate patted her hand. "Crystal, be patient. Once the timing is right, we can roll out our plan."

Crystal shook her head and smiled sweetly. "I'm fine. I've been enduring for so many years, anyway. I can wait for a little longer."

This made Kate appreciate Crystal's calm demeanor. "A woman like you suits Derrick more. You're calm and able to help him if anything arises. Unlike Tiffany, who isn't considerate of Derrick and only knows how to throw tantrums. She's so petty! I don't know what Derrick likes about her to give up on such a good woman like you," Kate distorted the truth while furrowing her eyebrows.

Crystal comforted, "If men didn't date a few childish women before a mature one, how would they know what's good forthem? I'm sure after Tiffany, Derrick would know the best person for him is me."

Kate laughed. “You're right for thinking that way."

While the duo was chatting happily, Derrick and Tiffany went to greet Amelia and her family, who were also invited.

A glint flashed across Amelia's eyes when she caught sight of Kate standing together with Crystal. However, as it was the movie's press conference, the leads were currently undergoing final preparation to go on stage. Although Derrick did not need to do so as the producer, he needed to greet all the guests invited. After all, he invested a huge amount of money into this movie.

"Derrick, I hope your second movie will be a hit, and that you'll become a giant in the publishing industry and the

entertainment industry." Amelia gave her blessing and passed him the gift she prepared.

Derrick accepted the gift and replied, "Thank you. I'm thankful that both you and Mr. Clinton can make time to come over."

Amelia glanced at Tiffany and implied something through her words. "As long as you treat Tiffany well, I don't mind letting Oscar invest in Kany Production Company. She's my best friend, so anything that happens to her affects me as well. I'm willing to do anything to ensure her happiness as long as she brings it up."

Derrick could tell Amelia was warning him indirectly. However, he was not infuriated by it. After all, he would treat Tiffany well since she was his wife. Although he knew Tiffany was undergoing some hardships, he supposed it would be good for her to gain experiences through it.

Not only was Tiffany his wife, but she was also the daughter-in-law of the Hissons. Their family was affluent and had complex social relationships. Thus, there was no way Derrick could protect her every time. It would be better if he could let go. This way, Tiffany would be able to grow strong enough to create a happy life with him.

Derrick was sure others would understand his efforts soon enough.

Thus, he replied seriously, "She's my wife, so I'll definitely treat her well."

Derrick continued to chat with Oscar before the former was called away by someone else. Although he wanted Tiffany to go with him, she rejected, "You should go with Oscar and meet with the other guests. I'll bring Amelia and Tony to eat."

Derrick nodded.

Meanwhile, Amelia told Oscar to go along with Derrick, and Oscar agreed.

Tiffany brought Amelia over to the place where the food was laid out. After giving Tony some of his favorite food, she sat with Amelia in the lounge room specially prepared for guests.

Amelia said, "What is Mrs. Hisson thinking to bring Crystal to an event like this? Isn't she scared Derrick would get angry by how she's treating you?"

Tiffany shrugged. "Ever since she fainted and was sent to the hospital, she never hid her disgust for me. Back in the days, she would still treat me well in front of Derrick. However, she only ignores me now. She was also the one who asked Crystal to stay when she planned to return to Irushea. I guess she doesn't like me to the point of wanting Crystal to hang around to make me uncomfortable."

After hearing that, Amelia barked an angry laugh.

It was quite rare to meet a mother-in-law like Kate.

Although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was hard to deal with, Kate was on another level in how she could not stand seeing her son happy. Derrick and Tiffany were clearly in love, but Kate had to make them suffer to satisfy her.

As a mother, it seemed that her feelings were more important than her son's happiness.

Unbeknonst to Amelia, she would know soon enough just how shameless Kate would be when she saw how Tiffany suffered in her marriage.

"Tiff, if I knew your mother-in-law was like this, I would have never agreed for you and Derrick to get involved," she declared.

However, Tiffany shook her head. Compared to the past, she handled things way more maturely now. She was no longer her outspoken self and was mature enough not to have prejudices toward anything.

'Amelia, I'm glad I was able to meet Derrick. If it were not for him, I wouldn't be able to understand what exactly love is. I've written many intense romantic stones back then, having many readers praising them. However, they didn't know I'm actually one without much dating experience and had imagined all of the stories." Tiffany smiled. "I finally understood what love is and could write stories that could perfectly show the ups and downs of it. If it weren't for Derrick, I wouldn't be able to have such a deep understanding of it."
