Chapter 1293


    It was the eldest son of the Jenkins family, Pord Jenkins.


    Although it was Marilyn''s birthday banquet that day, Pord had an important meeting in the morning, so he only came over after the meeting was


    over.


    When everyone knew about it, they praised Pord for being filial. He took the time to organize his mother''s banquet despite being busy with work. Humans always acted like that. They tend to overpraise a sessful figure for doing such acts but have forgotten that this was actually a son''s duty. There was, in fact, nothing to praise.


    When Weil turned around to find it was Pord, he immediately smiled and greeted, "Mr. Jenkins!"


    Pord felt a little embarrassed being greeted so familiarly. Although hispany was rather sessful, it was nothingpared to Arnold Corporation. Pord always wanted to work with Arnold Corporation but they had always treated him with indifference.


    Pord was ttered and shocked Weil woulde and attend his mother''s birthday banquet.


    He was so ted that he was at a loss for words.


    "Mr. Jenkins, are you holding a birthday banquet for your mother?"


    Mr. Jenkins rubbed his nose with embarrassment and said, "Yes. Mr. Arnold. I''m surprised you''re free to drop by."


    "Well, I happened to have a meeting nearby. I heard it sounded lively here, so I came to have a look."


    "In that case, why don''t you go in and have a drink?" Pord invited Weil.


    Weil smiled but did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Sam.


    The meaning of the gaze was obvious. Pord could tell at a nce that Weil was asking for his approval.


    Pord followed Weil''s gaze and saw a young man. Although young, he must''vee from a spectacr background, seeing as he was able to attract Weil''s attention.


    Being a businessman, he immediately extended an invitation to Sam, "I''m sure this gentleman here must be Mr. Arnold''s partner, right? Today is my mother, Marilyn''s birthday. Why don''t we have a drink together inside?"


    Sam actually had to go back to thepany after this business meeting as he still had a pile of unfinished work.


    However, for some reason, the refusal in his heart had be an agreement instead, "Sure."


    He actually agreed?


    Sam was surprised as well. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes. Why had he agreed?


    Subconsciously, Sam nced at Olivia again.


    Pord was quite happy. He thought that the young man in front of him looked serious and would reject his invitation, but to his surprise, he agreed. It seemed that there might be hope for hispany to work with Arnold Corporation this time.


    "Please,e in."


    When guests realized that Pord had arrived, they crowded him. After exchanging a few words with everyone, Pord walked up to Marilyn and gave his wishes.


    He was dressed formally and spoke with fervor. The displeasure caused by Ollie and Mavis disappeared from Marilyn''s facepletely.


    Marilyn''s eyes were full of smiles and gratification while looking at her excellent son.


    After that, Pord introduced Weil to everyone. When Weil was introduced as the president of the


    Arnold Corporation, the crowd was astonished.


    After introducing Weil, he had to introduce Sam. Pord asked with his gaze, "I''m sorry, how should I address you?"


    Weil was about to state Sam''s identity when Sam opened his mouth and said quietly, "Sam."


    "Sorrento."


    Sam said only his name, but not where he was from, so Weil shut up and did not say anything else.


    Pord felt a little awkward too. He didn''t expect Sam to only introduce his name but not his job.


    However, he quickly reacted and exined, "This is Weil''s friend and partner, Mr. Sorrento."


    Hearing that, everyone took another nce at the young man.


    Sam was tall, and his face was cold. The scar on his face made him look even colder and distant. Nevertheless, the aura he carried made one''s gaze linger on him.


    Everyone was sharp. Knowing Weil''s status and position, they could immediately guess that Sam''s position was also pretty high up.


    At this time, Olivia couldn''t help but twitch her lips.


    Who was able to tell her why was Sam suddenly here? Wasn''t he supposed to be with his clients?


    Why did he suddenlye to her grandmother''s birthday banquet?


    However, the real question was, was she supposed to pretend not to know him or not?


    Just as Olivia was in a dilemma, Brenda approached her in silence and asked in a whisper, "What''s going on? Isn''t that Sam? Why would he appear with your uncle?"


    Hearing this, Olivia coughed and said, "How am I supposed to know why?"


    "Didn''t you say he''s your boyfriend? If you don''t know, then who else would? Or did he not tell you?"


    Olivia was at a loss for words.


    Fearing her mother''s suspicion,


    Olivia exined hastily, "Oh, when I asked him toe, he said he was busy with work, so I told him not to trouble himself. I only knew that he was upied with work but not the details. If he''s here with Uncle Pord and Mr. Arnold, they probably came after work, Didn''t you hear Uncle Pord ask who he is?


    I''m sure he came with Mr. Arnold


    after their meeting." Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    Olivia was shrewd and managed to cover up.


    Brenda suddenly said, "Then go up and say hello to him. He is your boyfriend anyway."


    Olivia''s mouth twitched. "Mom, this isn''t good, is it? He is Uncle Pord''s guest now. If I go and say hi, what will everyone think of me?"


    p!


    Brenda pped Olivia at the back of


    the head Foolish girl, he is your


    boyfriend first, then your uncle''s guest. What''s wrong with talking to your boyfriend? Or did you lie to me?"


    UMS


    "Mom, why would I lie to you? He''s really my boyfriend, but it''s too conspicuous if I walk up to him now. Can we look for himter? Don''t worry, he really is my boyfriend, alright?"


    However, Brenda did not believe


    Olivia''s words at all. She folded her hands in front of her chest and said with a serious expression, "Fine, don''t go up to him. I want to see how your boyfriend is like. Let''s see if hees to you?"


    Olivia was again at a loss for words.


    Her mother sure was indecisive. Oliva didn''t know what to say anymore.


    "Whatever you say."


    She could only say this helplessly.


    Because Pord had arrived, the banquet officially began. Guests went to their seats, and the waiters began serving food.


    While they were choosing their seats, Pord escorted Weil to the main table. Since Sam followed them, he was invited as well. Brenda stared at Sam the entire time. "It doesn''t seem like your boyfriend has noticed you at all. Be honest, did you ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend to fool me?"
