Chapter 1077:
It was just an early estimate, but the message was clear.
The one hundred and fifty million that Millie and Charles had just invested was now worth barely half—and might soon be worth nothing if no one stepped in to take over.
People in the conference room muttered among themselves.
“I knew it. Millie’s nothing but a pretty face. Every time she stumbles, Mr. Elliott has to clean up her mess p>
“Honestly, if Mr. Elliott is so smitten with Millie, he should just keep her at home like the trophy wife that she is. Why let her run around making a fool of herself in public p>
“Exactly. The man is completely blind when it comes to romance. He’s lost all sense of business judgment p>
“I wonder how this whole disaster will play out in the end p>
“However it ends, you can bet it’ll stain the Elliott Group as well p>
The whispered conversations died instantly when the conference room door swung open.
Myron walked in with confident strides, his presence commanding immediate attention.
Everyone straightened in their chairs, suddenly very interested in the papers in front of them.
Myron settled into his seat at the head of the long mahogany table, his expression as unreadable as ever.
“Let’s get started p>
The department heads began their presentations one by one. The meeting moved along smoothly, each report crisp and efficient. Within thirty minutes, they had covered all the scheduled agenda items.

“Does anyone have additional business to discuss?” Myron asked, preparing to close the meeting.
A middle–aged executive with graying temples shifted uncomfortably in his seat before clearing his throat.
“Actually, there is one more matter we need to address. It concerns Millie p>
The atmosphere in the room changed instantly. Everyone leaned forward slightly, suddenly very alert.
Myron’s gaze fixed on the man. “I’m listening p>
The executive drew a steadying breath, gathering his courage.
“You’re aware of Millie’s investment in Yaroslav Technology, correct p>
“Of course I am,” Myron replied calmly.
The man wiped his palms on his pants before continuing. “Well, she’s gotten herself into an absolute disaster with that decision. The question we all have is simple—what exactly do you plan to do about it? Are you going to waste company resources cleaning up another one of her messes p>
Myron didn’t answer right away. Instead, he simply looked at the man with those penetrating eyes that made people squirm.
Taking the silence as permission to continue, the executive plunged ahead with more boldness.
“Look, we’ve always thought you shouldn’t be involved with someone like Millie, but you refused to listen to reason. Fine. We eventually accepted that you were going to marry her, even though we disagreed. But this is too much. If you want to keep her around for companionship, that’s your personal choice. But you can’t let her run wild, making terrible business decisions! You two aren’t even officially married yet. Can you imagine if this catastrophe had happened after you’d already tied the knot? The scandal could potentially drag down the entire Elliott Group p>
