Chapter 270 - The News (2)

He looked at the screen of the phone and saw a picture of a couple in a matching royal blue formal outfit dancing. The girl looked at the man with a sweet smile while the man looks at her affectionately. At first, he was confused as to why would Jeric show him a picture of a couple but when he takes a closer look at the girl the veins in his neck started to get visible.

He scrolled down and saw a news article about the photo. As he read the article, his grip on the phone started to tightened as he clenched his jaw. When Jeric saw Alex's reaction, he closed his eyes as if waiting for something to happen, then bam!

He heard his phone clashed in a wall. Alex threw it in anger.

At the same time, in a hotel at the foot of Mt. Celandine. The cast and staffs of the movie that Lily is filming were having dinner. Aside from them, Lance and Mr. Ray were also present. Lance is sitting in a table with Mr. Ray and the director while Lily is sitting in the table near him along with Sarah and another artist. Lance have a clear vision of Lily.

Suddenly one of the female artists in Lilys table exclaimed. "Oh my God! Is this for real?! Dr. Jacob Parker has been married for five years? And to a nurse?!"

As soon as Lance heard that, he looked at Lily's direction and found her looking at him with the same expression.

Even before he went abroad, Jacob has been popular in both the political, business and entertainment circle. His return to the country was never announced to the public so there was no news about him since he returned. And the news of him being married to a nurse came as a huge surprise to both circles.

Lance went out in the back garden of the hotel to make a call to J. After a couple of rings, J finally answers. She was still in the foundation gala, after their dance, Jacob led her to sit with his parents instead of going back to Dr. Aaron's table. After the announcement, they assumed that people will bombard them with a lot of questions, and Jacob thinks that J is not ready to answer them yet.

J originally wanted to go home already but since Chairman John had announced her relationship with Jacob and the Parkers, it will not look good if she leaves the gala.

"What happened? The news is everywhere." Lance said in a worried tone.

J sighed. Of course, even thou the gala haven't finished yet a news as big as this will soon be published online. "Chairman John announced my marriage to Jacob."

"Did he? Does President Martin know?"

"Apparently, it was Dad's decision." J said nonchalantly.

"Great! Now your name is spread online. You are now a chicken loose in the tiger's den. But I doubt if the tiger would launch on you. They are smart, they knew what's waiting for them if they attack you."

"Yeah. So, don't worry too much. Focus on your film."

"Alright! By the way, tell your husband that his little sister is drinking again. Should I care or should I not care?" J rolled her eyes at this question. Of course, after what happened last time, even if Lance care, he would not dare care about Lily. So, J decided to vouch on him.
