After Olivia finished sending her message, she put her phone down and continued applying her makeup.

Originally, she wanted to go to the banquet dressed like how she usually did, but Brenda came to her place early in the morning and made sure she was dressed up.

The guest's children would also bring their significant others and go all out when attending the banquet, so she insisted Olivia follow suit.

Seeing that she couldn't change her mom's mind, Olivia reluctantly obeyed.

"That's more like it. By the way, where's your boyfriend? Remember to ask him to join us."

Olivia thought for a moment and coughed. "I know. He has something to deal with. He'll come later. Let's go first."

Brenda frowned with suspicion upon hearing what Olivia said. "He's not coming to pick you up?"

"Yeah. He's busy with something. Let's leave first, Mom."

But Brenda just stood still and stared at her.

"Mom, don't you believe me? If I say he will come, he definitely will. Don't worry."

Olivia dragged Brenda out, and the two of them got into the car. Brenda couldn't help but grumble once they were in the car.

"What's so important? Why isn't he coming as promised?"

"Mom..."

"Ollie, if you don't want to go on blind dates, I won't stop you from finding your own boyfriend either. But you've moved nearly everything from your place to his. Does he not have anything at his house? Is he, by chance, poor?"

Olivia was speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

In truth, Olivia didn't know if Sam was rich or poor, but it didn't matter to her. She wasn't materialistic.

She had money, and she could make her own money. So it didn't matter whether the man was rich or not.
