Chapter 1067:
Creating new technology ate through money faster than fire through paper. In the beginning, investors had covered the costs. When the initial investors pulled out, they’d started taking loans against everything they owned. The company. Their personal assets. Everything. There was nothing left to leverage.
“I’ll find a way to secure the necessary funding and temporarily redirect a portion of it to address this immediate crisis. Once we achieve more financial flexibility in the coming months, we can replenish those funds,” Foley had promised with forced optimism. “After all, our core technology is genuinely solid and market-ready. Securing major investment has always been part of our business plan—it’s simply p>
“It’s a question of timing, isn’t it p>
In the end, despite Foley’s passionate arguments, the two men had remained locked in their impasse without reaching any resolution.
Afterward, Millie had quietly asked Alexia to investigate the patient’s actual condition and prognosis.
The illness was devastatingly serious. His mother needed round-the-clock ICU care, multiple surgeries, and experimental treatments that insurance would not cover. The costs were astronomical.
This harsh reality was what had driven the technical partner to his breaking point.
He had made the agonizing decision to sell his ownership stake in the technology he had spent years developing. The money would fund his mother’s treatment and allow him to spend whatever time she had left by her side.

But with what’s happening to his mother right now, I can’t find it in my heart to blame him for wanting to leave. I genuinely had everything carefully planned out. I wasn’t trying to deceive anyone, I swear. You saw it yourself—our technology is truly remarkable and market-ready. With my partner staying on, we absolutely could have built something successful and sustainable. It’s just this one hurdle that appeared at the worst possible moment p>
Foley looked completely defeated, as though he could already see the whole thing falling apart.
He knew that once the news broke, everyone would back out. The risk was simply too great. There was no point for them in gambling any further.
Today, Reuben and Babette hadn’t come to help—they had come to stir up trouble.
Millie wasn’t even a major player. What could she possibly do to help?
“I talked to a friend, Dr. Giffard Hussain. You know how skilled he is. After discussing with his colleagues, he said there’s a new surgical method they could try. The chances aren’t high, but it’s still worth the attempt p>
