Chapter 1068:
Millie had already asked Giffard to reach out to Foley’s key technician, Spencer Lambert, yesterday, and the response had been positive.
Rather than lying helpless in a hospital bed, barely hanging on, it was better to take that one risky shot at living again.
She had also asked Giffard to check where Spencer stood regarding Yaroslav Technology.
“This company was built from nothing. Day and night, we poured our hearts into it. It’s not just a business—it’s our blood, sweat, and dreams,” he had said.
Millie turned to Foley. “Giffard also mentioned that your friend has agreed to let his mother undergo the surgery p>
Foley stood up abruptly, hope flickering in his eyes, but it faded just as fast. He sank back into his seat.
“But…” he murmured.
Millie smiled gently. “If you need help, tell me how much. I’ll lend it from my personal account, separate from company funds. Just write me an IOU p>
Foley was overwhelmed. His eyes filled with tears as he clasped her hand.
“Miss Bennett… I don’t even know how to thank you p>
“Do your best and succeed,” she said with a light pat on his shoulder. “That’s all the thanks I need p>
Sniffling and smiling through his tears, Foley accepted the tissues she handed him.
“So, be honest with me—what’s the real target this time?” Millie asked.
“We announced three hundred million. But in fact, even a hundred million would be a good start,” Foley replied.
Millie nodded, signaling that she understood.

Their brief break ended, and everyone returned to their seats.
“Alright, let’s continue,” Foley said, taking the stage again, now a little steadier. “I’ve decided—we’ll keep the threshold at thirty million. No changes p>
He gave a polite bow toward Reuben and Babette. “Please accept my apologies p>
The two said nothing. They had tried to bend the rules simply to make things difficult for Millie, and there was no point in pushing further now that their plan had failed.
The others looked relieved—no one wanted to face embarrassment over a failed financial verification.
“So, let’s see what everyone’s contribution will be,” Foley said, turning first to Reuben.
Reuben remained silent, still unsettled by Babette’s warning about the risks.
Foley’s eyes shifted to Babette. She only smiled and said nothing.
It was ironic. The same two who had made the most noise earlier were now quiet as mice.
Foley hid his irritation and turned to the others. But they too stayed silent, choosing to wait and see.
Finally, Foley looked at Millie.
She glanced at Taylor, who said, “JM Investments will put in sixty million p>
That was the only confirmed offer so far.
