Chapter 1687
It was past nightfall and the streetlights lit up the sky.
Nathan and Penny along with Colin and Kylie were all dressed up and they arrived at Noble Hotel on time.
The grand reception forxyperia Foreign Minister, Leigh and his men was held at Noble Hotel tonight.
The moment they arrived the hotel''s entrance, a ck-suited security guard stopped them and uttered with a strict face, "Please show your
invitations.”
Nathan and the rest froze as they did not have an invitation card.
The First Lady had invited them to attend the reception verbally and she did not hand them any invitation cards
In addition, with Nathan''s status, he didn’t need an invitation to enter any ce most of the time.
It was because the security guards at the Noble hotel that night did not know Nathan, hence they asked him to show his invitation
Nathan said with a smile, “We don''t have an invitation.
Upon hearing that, the security guard frowned and was about to further rify the situation.
However at that moment. they heard an annoying mor out of nowhere.
“Ah! Aren''t these my very rich cousin and her husband!
Nathan, Penny and the crowd turned towards the direction where the sound came from, then they saw a woman in heavy makeup walking next to a
tall thin man in suit.
That woman was none other than Hayley! The tall thin man who was apanying her was her husband, Kerk.
Hayley and her husband were attending the reception as well, but she did not expect to see Nathan and Penny there.
The moment she heard that Nathan and Penny couldn''t enter because they did not have an invitation, she felt relieved and saw it was a good
opportunity for her to retaliate.
She pulled out a fancy invitation and proudly handed it over to the security guard at the entrance for inspection.
At the same time, she sneered at
Nathan and Penny, “Tsk, tsk. Aren''t
the both of yatwery rich since you''re
able to acquire a multi-billion
clothing store? Howe you can''t
even enter the reception? Haha, >
A

yousthink you can squeeze your way
into the upper-ss circle because
you have some money, you''re really
dreaming. Money is nothing
compared to power. It doesn''t
matter even if you have the money,
we can ruin your lives because we
have power and status.” Content

The corner of Nathan''s lips curled. “So are you saying that you are very powerful and influential?”
Hayley smiled coldly. “Of course!”
“Let me introduce you and my pitiful nouveau riche cousin. This is my husband Kerk Lexington and he is one of the interpreters for the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Being a Deputy Divisional
Officer at such a young age, he has
a very bright future. Furthermore, the
reason for my husband to attend
tonight''s reception is because he
has been enttusted with a great deal
of responsibility. His superiors said~
that the General of the North will Be
attending tonight''s reception as well;
therefore, my husband has keén
assigned as the interpreter to
facilitate themunication
between the General and the
Xyperian ministers. Have you heard
of the General of the North? My
husband has the honor of
interpreting for him and if he''s
valued by the General, he would
definitely aplish so much
more.

At that moment, the security guard who was in charge of checking the invitations handed Hayley''s invitation back to her, indicating that her card was
in order and that she could enter.
Hayley took the invitation and asked with a fake smile. “Hey. mister. ording to the rules, are we allowed to bring a few friends and rtives into the
venue with our invitation?”
The security guard answered, “Yes!
