Chapter 2169

“Ms. Collins.”

At that moment, a woman director approached her with a warm smile. “I'd like to wish you an early congratulations on your

upcoming wedding. May your union with Mr. McMillian age like fine wine, growing more delightful as the years pass.”

“Thank you,” Arabella replied, looking at Andrea in front of her.

She recalled the early days of taking over Luna Capital, when her absence due to lack of thad irked Andrea quite a bit.

After Tomas and Donna were taken into custody, Arabella had flown abroad for the first board meeting. Andrea, seeing Arabella’s

youth, assumed she was a mere nepotism hire and openly questioned her capabilities more than once, even slamming down a

resignation letter and walking out.

It was only after Arabella had proven herself and personally invited Andrea back that they began to work together again.

“] used to think your Grandpa Alberto was a genius in the investment world, never missing a shot. But it turns out, your vision is

even sharper than his. Luna Capital is lucky to be in your hands.”

Her words had barely settled when an elderly director stepped forward, chuckling. “I can’t believe in the blink of an eye, our Ms.

Collins is getting married. | wish you and Mr. McMillian a harmonious and lifelong partnership.”

“Thank you, Kim,” Arabella said, her eyes softening.

This Kim, who knew about her running Allbara Investment and feared she might eventually integrate Mr. Rollins’s hard work—Luna

Capital—into Allbara Investment, thus he initially disapproved of her, even demanding that she step aside for the greater good.

Fortunately, Arabella’s competence had eventually won him over.

“Bella, congratulations! We've all been looking forward to this day.” Heloise stepped forward, looking at Arabella with the fondness

of an aunt for a beloved niece. “If your Grandpa Alberto knew about this from beyond, he would certainly be overjoyed.”

Arabella smiled. “Thank you, Heloise.”

Previously, Heloise had been concerned that Arabella, as the founder of Allbara Investment, might favor her own group's projects

over Luna Capital's well-being, and disregard the livelihoods of its people. and thus had opposed her leadership.

Then there was Vito, an old shareholder, who cwalking over, and everyone respectfully made way for him.

Vito was a highly esteemed and formidable figure within the group and represented the biggest obstacle to Arabella’s takeover.

The opposition led by him had caused Arabella no small amount of trouble.

However, Arabella quickly displayed her remarkable talent for investment, especially in real estate.

She first acquired 11 office properties overseas for $300 million, renovated them, and sold them for a neat profit of $50 million,

marking just one of her successes in the commercial real estate market.

Later, she formally partnered with Martin's logistics group, taking a stake in his company, and helping him outmaneuver other

family competitors while making a tidy sum for both of them.

Following that, she set her sights on the logistics sector under Light Group, investing $60 million for a 70% stake, and acquiring a

renowned domestic port area storage facility, adding 300,000 square meters of modern warehousing into her portfolio.

By then, the old shareholders like Vito were starting to be surprised.

Then, she launched scholarship programs at Summerfield College and Westerly College, raising $300 million, including $100 million

out of her own pocket. Since the project's inception, nearly 300 outstanding graduates from both schools had joined Luna Capital

and were making significant contributions.

Finally, the old shareholders, including Vito, were thoroughly impressed, respecting her with utmost reverence from then on.
