Unless the corporations here didn’t need Luna Capital’s funding, didn’t plan to expand overseas, and weren’t scared of local power players, then they can give it a shot.
"Mr. Rollins, you’re joking, right? Rosemary is part of the Collins family; she’s Mr. McMillan’s fiancée, and now she’s your beloved granddaughter. Who would dare to bully her?" A lady in the crowd tried to lighten the mood.
The Collins family hadn’t had time to react; how did Rosemary know such a big shot like Alberto, and how did she win his favor?
Kenneth stepped forward, extending his hand to shake. "Mr. Rollins, do you remember me?"
Years ago, they met at an international business conference. Kenneth, as a representative, had given up his seat to Alberto. Kenneth thought, as the younger generation, he should offer the prime spot to the elder. But Alberto felt that in terms of achievement, Kenneth had achieved more at his age than he had, so they both insisted on giving up their seats to each other. Although it was a small event, Kenneth’s manners and demeanor left a deep impression on Alberto.
"I didn’t expect to meet again under these circumstances," Alberto responded with a hearty handshake.
Seeing that they knew each other, the crowd didn’t stick around to listen to their conversation and started to disperse.
Louisa couldn’t help but ask, "Rosemary, what’s going on? Did you know Mr. Rollins before?"
From what Attlee said, this Mr. Rollins seemed to be an old friend of Grace. Rosemary was brought up by Grace, so was that the connection?
"Yes, it was Mr. Rollins who guided me onto the path of entrepreneurship and taught me a lot of experiences and methods."
Upon hearing this, Kenneth bent down again and shook his hand respectfully. "So you are Rosemary’s mentor; without you, she wouldn’t have been able to establish LY!"
Alberto patted him on the shoulder and laughed, saying, "You flatter me, Mr. Collins. Rosemary’s success is due to her own hard work and talent; I had little to do with it."
"You’re too modest. Without your support, she wouldn’t have achieved what she has today. You’re the guiding light in her entrepreneurial journey. Let’s go to a nearby restaurant; we can sit and have a good chat."
Kenneth wanted to invite Alberto for a meal to express his gratitude, but Alberto laughed and said, "I came here to cheer for my granddaughter; I still have some matters to handle."
His granddaughter was hosting an event, and as a grandfather, he naturally had to support her, lending credibility to the event.
"Mainly because she’s so busy, it’s hard to find a chance to see her."
Kenneth could hear the fondness and affection Alberto had for Rosemary in his words.
"Is this your fiancé?" Alberto turned his gaze towards Romeo.
Romeo looked dashing and handsome. He held out his hand to Alberto and said, "Mr. Rollins, nice to meet you."
Alberto shook his hand, sizing him up, and said, "Very good, very good."
This young man was not only good-looking and charismatic but also extremely well-mannered. And despite his tender age, he was already the world’s richest man. Alberto had heard of him a long time ago, but this was their first encounter.
"My darling granddaughter sure knows how to pick ’em."
"Mr. Rollins, you flatter me."
Alberto used the handshake as an opportunity to close the distance and whispered, "Those two cutthroat guys from the Harris family have been tough on Rose since she was a kid. She hasn’t had much love."
Romeo listened attentively, nodding his head.
"Rose has had only Grace and a bunch of us oldies by her side since she was little. She may not know how to interact with guys her age. She appears aloof, but she’s actually very warm-hearted. I’m not just singing her praises; she really is a good kid."
"I know that being with Rose is a privilege for me." Romeo held onto Alberto’s hand, gentlemanly and solemnly saying, "I promise to cherish her, spend more time with her, and give her security and happiness. What I say, I do."
Rosemary grinned slightly and said, "At your age, you should stop running around. If I have time, I’ll come to see you."
"You know I’m getting older, so be prepared to take over my responsibilities so I can enjoy my sunset years."
Once again!
Rosemary had heard this spiel one too many times, but the people around her looked incredulous. Was Alberto planning to turn Luna Capital over to Rosemary?
Seeing Rosemary’s expression, Alberto couldn’t help but laugh. "This is my wedding gift to you. It doesn’t matter when you accept it. Considering your youth, I’ll bear the pain and help you for a few more years."
Kenneth was taken aback and hurried forward, saying, "Mr. Rollins, I am incredibly honored that Rose has won your favor."
