The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1379

Not for sale?

She was just giving it away?

Did she even realize what she was saying?

This wasn’t some random webcomic you could pick up for a few hundred thousand. The rights to Storm were already going for crazy prices online. Industry insiders said it was worth over ten million.

To top it off, Sabina had offered the publisher twenty percent of all profits from the film adaption, no strings attached, just for the rights.

With a comic this hot and a strong production team, the money to be made was off the charts.

So when Charlotte casually said she’d “just give it away,” the loss was huge.

Was she actually serious?

“My god, what is she doing?”

Backstage, the publisher’s CEO was freaking out after hearing Charlotte’s words.

“J just texted me,” the editor said quickly, trying to calm him down. “She says not to worry. Emily’s team will give us ten percent of the company’s shares.”

“Only ten percent?” The CEO nearly exploded. “Sabina promised us a share of the rights and twenty percent of the film’s profits. Ten percent doesn’t even come close. She may not need the money, but our company sure does.”

This was ridiculous.

“J said if Emily adapts this comic, the company’s revenue will hit at least a hundred million.”

Even as the editor said it, the number felt unreal.

“A hundred million?”

The CEO’s eyes went wide. Did he hear that right?

“How am I supposed to believe something that hasn’t even happened yet?”

The editor hesitated. He knew how stubborn J could be. Once she made a decision, there was no changing her mind. “J said if you’re not happy, you can end the contract, and she’ll just take the rights back.”

End the contract?

The original deal was for two years and was about to expire in just a few days. Once that happened, the rights would be gone, and the company would have nothing to do with the comic. Forget ten percent—he’d be lucky to get ten bucks.
