The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel 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 time had 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.

“I 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. I 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.”
