Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1203

"Your Majesty, won't we be overdoing our apparel?" Evan asked Evelyn. "It's from Versace. It must be very expensive!" Seeing Ezra pull out a suit from seemingly nowhere, Evan glanced at the tag and cried out in surprise.

"Why would we overdo our outfits? There will be many journalists, and we'll be in the spotlight. Ezra can bear to be disgraced, but our Long Family can't. No matter how much money it costs, I'm willing to pay to look the part," Evelyn said, raising her eyebrows and glancing at Evan from the reflection of the mirror. She was dressed in an orange-red strapless gown and had a lollipop in her mouth, and the make-up artist was doing her hair.

"But… Will the media take it seriously if there aren't any senior Long Family members nor any of the Zhou's showing up?" Evan asked, putting on the suit. Fortunately, the hotel air-conditioning was on otherwise wearing a suit on such a hot day would be like living in hell.

Evelyn didn't give it much thought, and she shrugged replying, "I'm not looking for any trouble. If my father knows that I'm messing around, I will be dead!"

Evan rolled his eyes and said, "Evelyn, have you forgotten that you've invited an army of journalists? Journalists spread news, and you're hoping that your father won't find out about it?"

Evelyn suddenly turned her head to look at Evan.

"Do you really think that Addison and Charlie would let my father know about this?" she smirked. Evan had become silent. Evelyn was right. Even if she had turned T City upside down, her two brothers, who loved her so dearly, would never let the news spread. Also, The Flight Media and The Dream Media were the leading enterprises of the media industry in T City, both of which were under the Dragon Empire Group. This fact made it even easier for Evelyn's brothers to control the news. "Because of your brothers' protection, you've become so unreasonable and arrogant," said Evan.

Evelyn wore an innocent look on her face and fluttered her long eyelashes at him, asking, "Aren't you unreasonable and arrogant, too?" Evan ground his teeth and then smiled. "Yes, I am. But to me, you have the rights to be unreasonable. Your Majesty."

Evelyn winked at him with a sweet smile and then turned back to the mirror. She looked at herself carefully in the mirror then waved at the make-up artist. "Okay, that's it. It's good enough."

"Yes, Miss Evelyn," replied the make-up artist.

Just as the make-up artist had finished her words, the door opened, and Bess walked in, dressed in a gown. Bess and Evan looked at each other and were overwhelmed with guilt. They were attendants of the engagement.

They both felt guilty that they had helped Ezra trick Evelyn into the engagement.

Evan shrugged his shoulders, and Bess glared at him. She then walked to Evelyn and said, "All the journalists have arrived, including the people from The Flight Media and The Dream Media." It was odd that the senior members of the Long Family didn't show up to the engagement party. People might get suspicious if the media from the Dragon Empire Group didn't show up either.

"It's almost time. Let's go," Evelyn said, getting up and throwing the rest of the lollipop into the trash can. Although she wasn't as outstanding as the other members of the Long Family, Evelyn was tall and elegant. She would be glorious among the populace.

The "engagement" press conference was held at the Smile Hotel. It was already swarming with journalists waiting at the hall. Even the journalists from Rita's conference were also here. Rita and Allen weren't that popular in T City. In T City, the engagement banquet of the Lady of the Dragon Empire Group was the only headline news.
