Chapter 1069:

Babette exchanged a look with Reuben before laughing. “Sixty million? I thought you had deep pockets p>

Millie smiled. “Perhaps I do. What I own and what I put into a project aren’t the same, though p>

“Then make it a hundred million,” Babette said sweetly.

Millie raised an eyebrow. “And who made you the banker? Sixty million it is p>

Babette turned her smile toward Foley.

“Mr. Carter, Reuben and I have discussed. If we’re investing, then there will only be three of us—me, Reuben, and Millie. Each of us putting in a hundred million p>

Foley blinked, confused. “But p>

“No buts. Ask anyone here if they still want in,” Babette cut in smoothly.

Millie frowned. Something wasn’t right.

She turned to Taylor, who leaned in to whisper, “Someone told me Babette’s assistant passed around some information—but told everyone not to mention it to us p>

They had plotted this together. If they pressured Millie into putting up a hundred million instead of the entire fifteen thousand she held, she might actually take the bait.

That would drag her down completely.

Reuben leaned back. “Come on, Millie,” he said mockingly, “you’re not short on cash, are you? Let’s see you match us p>

Millie met their smug smiles, tapping her fingers lightly on the table—calm, waiting. The room grew quiet.

Just then, the door opened, and Charles walked in with his team.

“Did I miss all the fun?” he said brightly. “Mind if I join p>

Foley blinked in surprise, but then nodded.

Charles took the seat beside Millie. She gave him a faint look.

Reuben frowned. “Charles, shouldn’t you be busy? What brings you here p>
