Chapter 986 - 978: The Alternate Identity Exposed 2

Chapter 986: Chapter 978: The Alternate Identity Exposed 2

Thinking about this, feeling a bit uneasy, she asked, "When will you be back?"

"In a month."

Tiana Thorne glanced out the window, the wind was blowing, and what used to be a sea of green had turned into flames, the scent of autumn growing ever stronger.

She asked, "Mom, is it still the same every year?"

"Yes, back then, I thought you were gone, and could only pray for you this way. Now that you’re back, I should fulfill my vow."

Hearing this, Tiana Thorne felt moved, and rushed into her arms: "Thank you, Mom, it’s so good to have you."

"Silly girl."

A trace of seriousness appeared in Tiana Thorne’s eyes as she thought of past events.

She tried to make her voice sound gentle: "Mom, I remember, you mentioned before that Auntie said it was like Meredith Ford had my soul, and so you decided to take her in, right?"

Rouge Jarvis nodded: "Yes, back then, I was in despair, crying every day, and your aunt, I guess she didn’t want to see me like that, so she lied."

This explanation seemed reasonable as well.

However, the dream from last night made her uneasy.

"Mom, was Auntie good to you?"

Rouge Jarvis almost without hesitation, blurted out: "Of course she was good. When I was young, and you and your third aunt had parents often working away, we lived at Auntie’s house, and she treated us like her own daughters, so I’ve always respected her highly."

Hearing this, Tiana Thorne smiled: "Since that’s the case, when you come back, you must take me to see Auntie."

"Yes, Tiana, you should get up and remember to eat. I’ll get ready to head to the temple first."

Tiana Thorne nodded: "Goodbye, Mom."

"Yes."

Watching her back for a long while, she finally withdrew her gaze.

She thought, maybe she really was overthinking.

Since young, Auntie had always treated her mom and third aunt well and must be a kind person.

Also, concerned about her mom always being heartbroken over her "passing," she concocted such a lie.

She stopped overthinking and started getting up to tidy up.

...

The purchase contract for the film and TV rights of "To My Dearest" has been sent to the literary website, just waiting for the site manager and the author to sign.

Tiana Thorne invested a lot, and the collaboration was quickly established.

Ethan Ford, who never used Weibo, also had to get verified: famous writer Zephyr, known for "To My Dearest," "Ten Years of Love," "If Love Were a Dream," "The Female Prime Minister: Lady Shangguan," "Animal World Insights," etc.

Each book is a masterpiece.

Originally, Ethan Ford already had a large fan base, and after getting verified, he posted his Weibo account in the book circle. In just one day, his Weibo followers exceeded a million.

This is an unparalleled achievement for an online writer.

At the same time, it also dominated the trending search lists.

Tiana Thorne also followed Zephyr at the same time.

Zephyr followed back.

However, what was shocking was that not only did Tiana Thorne follow, but even Eddy Hawthorne, the entertainment industry veteran, Julian Ford, and some famous entrepreneurs followed too.

What is this move?

Because of Tiana Thorne, does everyone support this?

With this core thought, many major industry stars began to follow Zephyr, hoping to please Tiana Thorne and make themselves noticed.

If Eddy Hawthorne is the entertainment industry’s godfather, then Tiana Thorne is the industry darling.

Excellent agents have already started calling, striving for roles in "To My Dearest."

However, Tiana Thorne temporarily did not respond.

This drama, due to having millions of original fans, increased the difficulty of shooting, and also sparked controversy.

The original fans were most afraid of the lead roles being ruined by the actors.

Also afraid of the writers making chaotic changes, ending up without seeing any of the iconic scenes they wanted.

Tiana Thorne, as a new screenwriter, understood. In fact, many screenwriters don’t want to adapt novels because of the numerous subplots, which can affect filming progress.

Some parts also don’t meet broadcasting standards and have to be cut.

She tried to preserve all the plot and rhythm as much as possible.

Now, this book has already caught everyone’s attention, and everyone is waiting for the official announcement of the leads.

Because Tiana Thorne had always had a good rapport with the public, seventy percent of the original fans wanted Tiana Thorne to play the female lead herself.

The male lead, as always, had the most discussions centered around the film emperor, Clement Xavier.

The fans of "The Fox Fairy" also hoped for another collaboration between Tiana Thorne and Clement Xavier.

Afterward, Tiana Thorne, along with May Sloane, finished writing all the scripts in half a month.

Meanwhile, who would ultimately play the male and female leads became the hot topic of discussion during this time.

There were even entertainment industry stars privately messaging Zephyr, wanting to know his ideal candidates for the leads.

Unfortunately, even though Zephyr registered a Weibo, he was like a machine, never replying to private messages.

His fans and random users collectively suspected that Zephyr’s Weibo didn’t have private messaging capability.

May Sloane, looking at the recent interesting events, curled her lips: "Who would have thought, one day, you’d be the one calling the shots, Tiana?"

Tiana Thorne smiled lightly: "There are many things you wouldn’t expect."

She put down her phone and leaned in: "Tiana, when are you planning to officially announce the leads?"

"At midnight."

"That’s too cruel, not letting the fans sleep?"

Tiana Thorne curled her lips, her smile containing a touch of indulgence: "Aren’t I keeping them company?"

At the same time, a second-tier actress posted a long article.

May Sloane, being the quickest, was the first to discover it and opened the article.

"’To My Dearest’ is a novel I’ve followed from its first Chapter to now. Once in the book circle, I had a conversation with Teacher Zephyr. Back then, I was just a small, unnoticed figure, just hoping for his support. Here’s a screenshot of the conversation."

Zephyr replied: "Don’t lose heart, keep going."

"Now, that my favorite novel is being adapted into a drama, I feel so happy. I remember Zephyr once said that if given a chance, he’d let me be the female lead of his book. Now, this dream is about to come true. But being in the entertainment world comes with many regrets."

"Teacher Zephyr, I might disappoint, but I’ll try my best to fulfill my old promise. Perhaps, I can’t be the female lead in your book, but regardless of the outcome, I will support you. Thank you."

May Sloane frowned: "She’s volunteering to be the female lead, huh? Pulling out book circle chat records like this is like using a hostage to force you to honor the original’s spirit and choose her as the female lead."

"These screenshots don’t seem forged. Being second-tier, she wouldn’t be so foolish."

Tiana Thorne looked at it again, then said: "This statement looks like unchanging devotion to netizens, just making things difficult for me. I’ll ask Brother Zephyr if he remembers this incident."
