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.

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.”

Then there was Vito, an old shareholder, who came walking 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.
