After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 826

“Grandma, I really trust Frank,” Ethan said. “He knows what he’s doing. Just look at his track record. Almost every movie he’s backed has made money. Even the worst ones just break even. He hardly ever loses.”

Stephanie frowned. “That’s fine for us. Our family can afford to take a hit. But Isabella doesn’t have that kind of money. She put in eighty million. What if…”

“Frank told me Isabella agreed to invest the second she finished reading the script. Grandma, business is always a risk. You have to take a chance sometimes.”

“It’s the same with movies,” Ethan continued. “There are films nobody expects to do well, but when they come out, the audience loves them. And sometimes the ones everyone predicts will be a hit end up flopping. You just never know.”

“We’ll have to wait until the movie is done and released. Only then will we see if it’s a success. The audience gets the final say.”

Stephanie let out a sigh. “Isabella’s already invested, so it’s out of my hands. All we can do is wait for the premiere. If she loses money, you’re paying her back every last cent. That’ll be on you. But if the film does well and she makes money, that’s her own good luck. Whatever she earns is hers.”

Ethan grinned. “Grandma, aren’t you being a little unfair? If she loses, I have to cover her losses. If she wins, I don’t get any credit at all?”

Stephanie shot him a look. “Why should you get credit? You’re the one who let Isabella slip away. I told you to cherish her. She’s a lucky girl. But you didn’t listen. Maybe you two just aren’t meant to be.”
