Chapter 213 We Are Engaged
Alice sat in front of the table and was a little prim. Thanks to Bill, it was the first time that so many
media were watching her.
The grandest press conference she had attended was about a TV series where she was the third
billing. That TV series made a hit, but unfortunately, she remained unknown.
Because she was to rify her rtionship with Bill, she was dressed in an informal dress with light
makeup.
Bill cameter. He was dressed in a red suit and looked spirited. With hairspray, his hair was styled,
which was what he always did.
Sitting next to him, Alice subconsciously moved away from him to avoid misunderstanding.
As reporters began to take photos, the press conference began.
"Mr. Jaden, it is rumored that you spent a night with Ms. Alice in the hotel, so are you in a rtionship?"
"Mr. Jaden, a photo shows that you and Ms. Alice were in the hospital, so is she pregnant?"
"Mr. Jaden, what is the rtionship between you and Ms. Alice? Can you tell us how you date each
other?"
...
"Mr. Jaden...?"
The media all focused on Bill and ignored Alice. After all, she was not famous.
She was even very satisfied that they didn''t forget her.
Alice had anticipated this in advance, so they had prepared the answers before.
With a confident look, Billughed in high spirits.
"Everyone, quiet down. You should ask in order. Don''t make any noise!" Bill''s assistant tried to maintain
order.
Bill couldn''t answer such a series of quickfire questions.
Bill cleared his throat and said, "I''d like to address here. Ms. Alice and I are not in a rtionship."
Alice heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, he made it clear.
"We are engaged!" Bill said as he directly entwined his fingers with Alice''s and showed them to the
media.
Alice had put her hands on her legs. However, before she figured out what was going on, he grabbed
her hand!
What arrant nonsense!
Engagement?
They had never talked about this before!
"What are you talking about?" Alice turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
Bill looked determined. "We went to the hospital to visit a friend, so Ms. Alice is not pregnant. I will
announce it in time when she is pregnant."
His words stunned the media for a while, and then everyone went mad!
"Did you hold the engagement ceremony? Have your parents known about this?"
"ording to Mr. Harper, you are not allowed to date the artists in yourpany."
"Ms. Alice, you looked a little surprised. Did you know this before?"
...
Bill pulled Alice up and walked backstage.
His assistant hurriedly said, "Well, that''s the end of the press conference!"
"Mr. Jaden, can you answer the question?"
"Ms. Alice, why do you keep silent?"
The reporters continued.
Bill and Alice got rid of them and returned to the lounge upstairs. They couldn''t walk out until the
reporters all left.
Back in the lounge, Billid on the sofa and took out his phone to y games.
Alice stood in front of him and shouted, "You didn''t tell me about the engagement. You should go out
and exin it to the media!"
She had wanted to rify her rtionship with him. Nheless, he announced the engagement. And
her career would be over!
Bill was indifferent. "It won''t work. Now that I have announced it, they won''t believe me if I deny it."
"But..."
Alice was irritated. What bad luck to meet him!
"You don''t understand what you did to me!" Alice almost freaked out, pacing back and forth.
"Don''t worry. In return, I will ask thepany not to sack you and you can y some important roles in
the following ys. What do you think?" Bill looked up at her and put his phone into the pocket.
"What do you mean?" Alice looked at Bill in confusion.
"Let''s make a deal. I need a fiancée while you need an opportunity to prove yourself. I''ll give you a
hand, but you need to act as my fiancée, okay?"
Alice realized that Bill wanted her to act as his fiancée.
"But..."
"Don''t worry. When everything is finished, I will post on social media that we had a peaceful breakup. It
benefits both of us, right?"
Alice bit her lips. On second thought, she was not at a disadvantage. She needed opportunities to
prove herself to the public. If Bill could do her a favor, it was a good chance.
Moreover, if she became Bill''s fiancée, those directors, deputy directors, or staff wouldn''t dare to offend
her!
In entertainment, actresses were always at a disadvantage. With Bill''s protection, Alice wouldn''t be
pestered anymore.
"Well, it''s a deal."
After she agreed, Bill got happy. "It''s a deal, but you should keep it a secret. You can''t even tell Ceres

about it!"
"Do you mean I must hide it from Ceres?" Alice had never hidden anything from Ceres.
"Yes! Otherwise, it will be spoiled! Besides, you should be cooperative in public!"
Alice nodded.
When they left the hotel, the reporters had all gone. Bill asked his driver to send Alice home.
Alice held her phone. She had thought she would receive a call from Ceres after Ceres watched the
press conference on TV. However, Ceres didn''t call Alice or contact her on WeChat.
This was so strange.
Thus, she made a call to Ceres but found that Ceres'' phone was turned off.
Alice muttered to herself, "Is she in the hospital?"
In the hospital, Johny texted Ceres many times, but he still did not receive any reply. He called Ceres
directly, only to find that Ceres had turned off her phone.
Why did she turn off her phone in the daytime?
When Nick brought Swedum to the hospital. Swedum looked sad. "Daddy, I feel a slight sense of
foreboding. Will something go wrong with Mommy?"
"No," Johny said, but he was anxious as well.
"But thest time I had such a kind of feeling, Mommy had a fever." Swedum was still a little worried.
Alice also came to the hospital. She wanted to tell Ceres about what had happened today. After all,
they were best friends.
"Where is Ceres?" Seeing that Ceres was not in the ward, Alice was confused.
All the signs showed that something went wrong with Ceres.
