Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 21

The next evening.

At Harborview Hotel, the charity banquet was held by the BQ magazine at Harborview Hotel.

When Jalen arrived, the entrance of the hotel was full of paparazzi and reporters. As soon as he got out of the car, the cameras were aimed at him.

“BQ Magazine is generous. They can even invite Jalen here!” someone exclaimed. After all, everyone knew that Jalen never liked to participate in these banquets.

“Yeah. It’s a pity that we can’t go in and take a look. I think tonight’s charity banquet will definitely be very exciting,” someone said with regret.

“Who is the companion beside him? Is she Jalen’s girlfriend?” Some people noticed that Jalen did not come alone. He brought a female companion, which surprised many people.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Marie who was beside Jalen. It was not that they deliberately ignored her, but Marie was too ordinary to be noticed at a glance.

Unfortunately, Marie did not know this. She stood beside Jalen and enjoyed everyone’s envious eyes with satisfaction.

“You should not have come tonight. You haven’t recovered yet. You should rest more,” Jalen said as he walked into the banquet hall.

“I’m fine, Jalen. It’s boring to stay at home every day. I can get some fresh air from the banquet,” Marie smiled at Jalen, but she didn’t feel happy.

If she didn’t come to such an occasion with Jalen, many women in New York would try to seduce Jalen. Marie had to keep an eye on them and not give those women a chance to stay close to Jalen.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the hall, Ross, who had received the news, rushed out. “Mr. Halton, I didn’t expect you to come. We’re honored to have you join us.”

When he sent the invitation to Jalen, Ross didn’t expect Jalen to come. But Jalen came.

In an instant, the banquet became top-end. As the organizer, Ross was happy.

“Ross, you flatter me. BQ magazine and the Halton Group have always maintained a good cooperative relationship. I should have come.” Jalen nodded and smiled. Although he was polite, Jalen was aloof. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Sanchez.” Seeing that Ross didn’t greet her, Marie was unhappy and took the initiative

to greet him.

Ross was stunned. Only then did he notice Marie, who was too humble to be noticed.

“This is…”

“My sister,” Jalen replied. Ever since he had promised Kian to take care of Marie, Jalen had treated Marie as

his sister, and that was how he introduced her to the public.

Marie’s eyes flashed with bitterness. She did not want to be Jalen’s sister!

Ross nodded and then said, “Mr. Halton, please come in. The banquet is about to begin.”

After saying that, Ross took Jalen to the first row of the banquet. It was the best seat to see all the things on

the stage clearly.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door.

“It’s Theodore!”

“Theodore? That new millionaire?” someone asked.

“It’s him.” The other party nodded and said, “Who else but Theodore can rise from scratch in just a few years

and become the richest person in the world?”

Many people were younger than Theodore on the rich list, but they were backed by their families. Even Jalen

was no exception.

“I haven’t seen the female companion beside him. Is she a new star?” someone could not help but ask when

he saw the woman standing beside Theodore.
