Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1293

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

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

When everyone knew about it, they praised Pollard 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 successful 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 Pollard, he immediately smiled and greeted, "Mr. Jenkins!"

Pollard felt a little embarrassed being greeted so familiarly. Although his company was rather successful, it was nothing compared to Arnold Corporation. Pollard always wanted to work with Arnold Corporation but they had always treated him with indifference.

Pollard was flattered and shocked Weil would come and attend his mother's birthday banquet.

He was so elated 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?" Pollard invited Weil.

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

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

Pollard followed Weil's gaze and saw a young man. Although young, he must've come from a spectacular 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 the company after this business meeting as he still had a pile of unfinished work.

However, for some reason, the refusal in his heart had become 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 glanced at Olivia again.

Pollard 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 his company to work with Arnold Corporation this time.

"Please, come in."

When guests realized that Pollard had arrived, they crowded him. After exchanging a few words with everyone, Pollard 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 face completely.

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

After that, Pollard 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. Pollard asked with his gaze, "I'm sorry, how should I address you?"

Fearing her mother's suspicion, Olivia explained hastily, "Oh, when I asked him to come, he said he was busy with work, so I told him not to trouble himself. I only knew that he was occupied with work but not the details. If he's here with Uncle Pollard and Mr. Arnold, they probably came after work. Didn't you hear Uncle Pollard ask who he is? I'm sure he came with Mr. Arnold after their meeting."

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 Pollard's guest now. If I go and say hi, what will everyone think of me?"

Slap!

Brenda slapped 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?"

"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 him later? 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 he comes 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 Pollard had arrived, the banquet officially began. Guests went to their seats, and the waiters began serving food.

While they were choosing their seats, Pollard 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?"
