Chapter 1062:
Her words were delivered with such conviction that the room fell into a heavy silence.
The crowd’s discussions resumed, but now they were focused almost entirely on the burning question of where such substantial funds could have originated.
Millie lowered her gaze slightly, looking down at the checks spread across the table before her. A subtle yet complex emotion flickered briefly in her eyes.
“You don’t need to waste your time speculating about where this money came from,” Millie said softly, though her voice carried clearly through the room. “The only thing that matters is that it belongs to me now, and I have full legal right to use it as I see fit p>
She lifted her eyes to meet Reuben’s and Babette’s stares directly.
“So tell me—would you like to raise the threshold even higher?” Millie continued, casually waving the envelope in her hand.
Neither Reuben nor Babette could tell whether there were additional checks still hidden inside.
For the first time during this entire confrontation, both Reuben and Babette found themselves at a complete loss for words. Reuben’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he studied Millie with renewed intensity.
Where had these substantial funds truly come from?
If Charles and Millie managed to solidify their business partnership with this level of capital backing them, it could genuinely threaten his position and influence in the Evans family in the future.
Millie’s smile widened slightly as she observed their uncomfortable silence.
She gestured for Taylor to carefully collect all the checks and return them to their envelope.
Then she addressed the room at large with calm authority.

“Even though I’ve clearly demonstrated that I have more than enough funds available, I still believe that the original threshold of thirty million dollars should remain the standard requirement. What do the rest of you think p>
She looked around at the other investors present, making eye contact with several of them.
Some immediately nodded their agreement with visible relief. But the majority remained cautiously silent, unwilling to openly take sides in this power struggle.
However, even among those who stayed quiet, it was obvious that most were deeply dissatisfied with the way Reuben and Babette had manipulated the meeting.
“So, Mr. Evans, what are your thoughts on the matter now?” Millie asked, her voice cutting through the tension in the room.
Reuben remained stubbornly silent, his jaw set in a hard line, while Babette’s frustration grew more visible with each passing second as she stared at the displayed account information.
Those checks had all been issued by foreign banks.
Babette’s mind raced with bitter speculation. It must have been Egbert who had somehow arranged to loan the money to Millie through some intermediary, using someone else’s name to hide his involvement!
The more she dwelled on this theory, the more her heart filled with seething resentment and hatred.
She was absolutely determined to set an elaborate trap for Millie that would destroy her completely.
