EnglishStoryChapter 66 Who would've thought that one summer, Grace gave Arabella this ring to go find him, asking him to teach her a thing or two? He was a business whiz with loads of badass friends.
For Grace, Alberto stayed single all his life. He treated Arabella like his own granddaughter, teaching her the ropes of business.
His buddies also gave Arabella a few pointers in medicine, and a few who were good at music, chess, and painting also took a real shine to Arabella, passing on their life’s wisdom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArabella didn’t disappoint; she learned everything they taught her.
One could say Arabella spent all her summer and winter holidays with this bunch of old geezers. Where she was today was all thanks to these old boys going all out to teach her! “When are you graduating? You should start helping your grandpa out!” Alberto felt his age: “I don’t have any children or grandchildren; you're my only heir.
“No.” Arabella was really swamped, especially now that Kenneth was handing her another company, she didn’t know what to do.
“You're the only family | have left; if | don’t leave my estate to you, who else would | give it to?” Alberto chuckled.
“Why don’t you move back to your home country if you miss her?” Anyway, his business abroad was stable. If he settled in Summerfield, they could visit more often But Alberto smiled sadly and said, “It wouldn't look good.” No one knew his past with Grace; even Attlee didn’t know his mother knew such a big shot! “He passed away young, but he truly cared for your grandma; | couldn't just get together with her after his death. Just being able to care from afar and getting news about her is enough.” Alberto didn’t ask for much; what comforted him now was that Arabella was raised so well by them that she could take over his business! The car arrived at The Gourmet Garden.
Arabella opened the car door and helped him out. “I told you to take care of yourself when you were young; you never listened.” See, now that he’s old, he can't even walk steadily.
Alberto chuckled, fully content under her support: “Knowing that | can leave you with a lot of money when I'm gone, all these years of hard work are worth it.” “You were clearly motivated for Grandma; what does it have to do with me?” Arabella supported him and slowly walked forward.
“You're old now; you should take a break.” “No, no, there are some businesses; | need to secure them for you before | die.” Just then, Yolanda, holding Zachary's hand, exclaimed in surprise, “Zachary, isn't that Arabella?” She was originally here with Zachary to check out wedding dresses at the bridal shop across from The Gourmet Garden. But as soon as they stepped out, they saw Arabella holding an old man’s hand and leading him slowly into the restaurant.

Yolanda remembered thar last night at La Belle Vie, Arabella was also with a man coming out of the VIP elevator. Was Arabella dating different men at the same time? Or was the man last night really her brother? Either way, she was really happy to see Arabella so down and out now! Romeo, in the car, saw Arabella holding the old man’s hand; he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Those small hands he once held were now supporting someone else.
“Mr. McMillan, doesn't that old man look familiar?” Carl thought hard and suddenly remembered, “I remember now! His name is Alberto, and he’s the head of Luna Capital, a well— known venture capital firm overseas.” His group was even bigger than Allbara Investment. He initially made his fortune through small businesses, then turned to investing once he had enough funds. He had a keen eye and ruthless strategy; any project he invested in would make money.
Over the past decades, he invested in countless industries, so his personal wealth was incredibly substantial! No wonder they didn’t recognize his license plate; he usually lived overseas.
Carl couldn't help but sigh, “Ms. Bennett sure knows a lot of people.” Not only was the director of Hope Hospital highly impressed with her; a bunch of medical experts were singing her praises; the richest man was her father; and now, it seemed she was also on good terms with Alberto.
