Chapter 1566


    The next day, Nathan left with Kylie without informing Penny to find the perfect venue for the


    birthday banquet.


    “Nathan, a new hotel had just opened in Channing. It''s right smack in Moon Bay Beach, so its name


    is Cresent Moon Hotel. I know the owner of the hotel. Why don''t we reserve the entire hotel to


    surprise Penny?”


    Recently, Crescent Moon Hotel was promoting itself through various advertisements. That was how


    Nathan knew of its opening.


    The hotel was located by the beach, so the view was stunningly beautiful. One could hear the


    rxing sound of wavespping against the shore. It was also elegantly decorated, so it would be


    the perfect venue for the party.


    Nathan''s lips curved up in a smile. “Good idea. Let''s go there now. If it''s good enough, let''s hold the


    party there.”


    Soon, Nathan and Kylie arrived at Crescent Moon Hotel.


    “Wee!”


    Two bellboys bowed and greeted them at the entrance with a smile.


    As soon as Nathan and Kylie entered the grand lobby, a female manager, whose name tag on her


    uniform showed her name as Alma Thrane, came up to them and asked politely, “Sir, what can I do


    for you?”


    Nathan replied with a polite smile. “My wife is celebrating her birthday tomorrow. I would like to


    reserve the entire hotel to hold a birthday banquet.”


    Reserve the entire Crescent Moon Hotel?


    Alma and the other hotel staff were shocked by his announcement.


    Doesn''t he know Crescent Moon Hotel is the most premium and expensive hotel in Channing?How


    dare he request to reserve the entire hotel?


    A dumbstruck Alma studied Nathan closely. “Nathan Cross?” she suddenly eximed.


    Nathan scanned her briefly before realizing who she was. “You''re Alma Thrane!”


    Alma used to go to the same school as Nathan.


    Back then, Nathan was an attractive young boy from a wealthy family.


    Alma was the prettiest girl in school. She was also talented.


    She had plenty of suitors in school, but she only had her eyes on the handsome and rich Nathan.


    The young Alma had boldly professed her love for Nathan, but he rejected her firmly.


    Feeling humiliated, Alma''s love turned to hatred.


    Later, she excelled in her studies and got epted to the top business school.


    At the same time, she heard Nathan was kicked out of his family and was now living on the streets.


    Alma was ted when she heard how Nathan ended up being a vagrant.


    Back then, she wished she could mock Nathan right in his face for being ignorant enough to reject


    her love.


    Alma never knew she''d run into Nathan one day.


    Now is the chancell''ll make sure Nathan finds out how great I am. He''ll regret rejecting my feelings


    back then!


    She immediately sized Nathan up, who was dressed casually.


    The pack of cigarette in his hands was a cheap Marlboro.


    Meanwhile, Kylie was d in jeans, a white shirt, and white sneakers. She seemed like a fresh


    graduate to Alma.


    Alma promptly concluded that Nathan was still a poor man. His young wife, however, was quite


    pretty.


    shing a smile, she said, “It''s you, dear friend.”


    Nathan nodded. “Yes. What a coincidence.”


    Alma wanted to embarrass him, so she spoke, “Oh, you used to be the heir of the wealthy family.


    You were so popr at school. s, your family kicked you out, and you became a homeless


    vagrant.”


    Shemented. “Well, I used to have a crush on you. I even professed my love for you. Luckily, you


    rejected my advances. I was such a fool. Thank you for sparing me back then!”


    The other hotel staff grew curious after hearing her words.


    “Ms. Thrane, you confessed your feelings to him back then?”


    “Look, he''s wearing cheap clothes and smoking


    Marlboro. I bet he''s a poor chap.”


    “Yes. Ms. Thrane, you graduated from the top business school. Your annual ie is over a


    million. He doesn''t deserve someone like you.”


    “He spared you back then. Otherwise, you would suffer with him now.”

    Alma chuckled politely and told Nathan. “I earn around one hundred thousand monthly, so my


    annual sry is just over one million. What I earn now is nothingpared to your inheritance,


    which you''ve lost now. But look at you now. Ha!”


    She didn''t finish her sentence, but the onlookers knew she was insinuating Nathan wasn''t even


    worthy of licking her shoes clean.


    Nathan was calm, but Kylie was about to explode with rage.


    When she stepped forward, about to reprimand


    Alma, Nathan pulled on her arm to stop her.


    shing a warm smile, Nathan agreed. “Yes, you''re doing well now.”
