Chapter 1063:
With this vengeful plan already forming in her mind, Babette called for a temporary recess, indicating that she needed to discuss something privately with Reuben.
Millie had no objection to the pause, and neither did anyone else in the room.
By this point, most of the other potential investors had come to the sobering realization that they were clearly out of the running in this high-stakes competition.
If they chose to stay, they would simply be spectators watching from the sidelines as the final outcome unfolded among the remaining front-runners.
Babette and Reuben rose from their seats and left the conference room together.
Millie watched their departing figures with keen interest, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully as they disappeared through the doorway.
“Millie, we need to be extremely cautious right now,” Taylor said, her voice tight with worry. “There’s no telling what kind of scheme they’re cooking up out there p>
Millie considered her assistant’s words for a moment, then quietly pulled out her phone and typed out a brief message to someone before slipping the device back into her pocket.
Outside, in a secluded corner of the building away from any potential eavesdroppers, Babette and Reuben stood facing each other.
“What exactly did you want to tell me?” Reuben asked directly, cutting straight to the point.
After glancing around carefully to confirm they were completely alone, Babette leaned in and spoke in an urgent whisper. “The Yaroslav Technology project is an absolute disaster waiting to happen. I’ve received confirmed news that their core technical expert—the genius behind all their innovations—is about to leave the company. Even though they currently have a competitive product in the market, it won’t be sustainable in the long run without him. Foley’s desperate fundraising efforts are largely driven by this impending departure. Originally, they were planning for a major breakthrough—significant technological innovation combined with securing lucrative international contracts—before seeking additional investment. But with their key technician gone, future advancements are virtually impossible. Worse still, the existing technology has serious unresolved flaws because the latest critical updates were never properly implemented before he decided to leave p>
Babette’s expression grew more animated as she laid out the full scope of the problem. “This means the company has no promising future whatsoever and actually poses massive financial risks to any investors. From what I’ve been able to gather, Foley has been dangerously overambitious, taking on far more orders than they can realistically handle and using aggressive rhetoric to cover up the cracks. The entire operation relied entirely on Foley’s business acumen and that one irreplaceable technical expert. Without this key individual, Yaroslav Technology is essentially worthless. Any money invested now will vanish completely, and some of their overseas partners will almost certainly break their agreements once they discover the truth about the company’s unstable foundation. That’s also why so many potential investors didn’t bother showing up today after learning this information through their own sources p>

Reuben’s frown deepened as he processed this unexpected revelation. He had been entirely unaware of these serious underlying issues.
His initial interest in attending this meeting had purely been about finding opportunities to undermine Millie, not about making a sound business investment.
“The reason I didn’t want you to keep raising the threshold earlier,” Babette explained with growing excitement, “was because I wanted to trap Millie p>
