Chapter 1064:
Millie completely. My plan is to let her invest everything she has—every last dollar—into this doomed venture p>
Her eyes gleamed with malicious satisfaction as she continued, “Then, when the truth inevitably comes out and the company collapses, those overseas partners will likely demand financial compensation for breach of contract. Millie will be utterly bankrupt and ruined. Even if Myron tries to help pay her debts, she’ll become the laughingstock of all Crobert. Everyone will remember her as the naive fool who threw away her fortune on a failed investment p>
In the quiet hallway, Reuben listened intently to this elaborate scheme, studying Babette with a new level of appreciation for her vindictive creativity.
“So what exactly are you suggesting we do?” Reuben asked, wanting to hear her full proposal.
Babette’s cold laugh echoed softly in the empty corridor. “Let’s join forces and work together on this. She’s standing in there so proudly, claiming she has all this money and acting like it doesn’t matter where it came from. Well, regardless of the source of her funds or how much she actually has access to, we’re going to ensure she loses absolutely every penny of it. We’ll make certain she ends up completely bankrupt and financially destroyed beyond any hope of recovery p>
Babette’s face held an expression of deeply satisfied anticipation, and Reuben found himself raising an eyebrow as a matching smile spread across his own features.
“If we can actually make that happen,” he said slowly, already imagining the outcome, “that would be absolutely perfect p>
Meanwhile, in the conference room, Millie sat quietly observing the distant figures through the glass wall. Her heart remained remarkably calm despite the chaos surrounding her. With methodical precision, she organized the stack of checks spread before her on the table.
Breaking into the investment world required substantial capital. That was simply an unavoidable reality.

When Millie honestly calculated her actual available funds, the number came to approximately sixty million dollars.
After her divorce from Brandon had been finalized, she had taken only the money she had personally earned through her own efforts and talents. This included the ten million dollars Brandon had paid her for the song she had written that Vivian wanted to purchase, her share of royalties after splitting with her former agency, the substantial prize money from winning the prestigious Heavenly Melody competition, and various subsequent business contracts involving gemstone sales and lucrative endorsement deals. When she added in her recent concert earnings, everything together amounted to roughly this sum.
Of course, keeping her new company afloat still required ongoing expenses that had steadily depleted some of those funds over time.
So, where had the remaining substantial amount of money come from to create such an impressive display of wealth?
The answer was actually quite straightforward—she had borrowed money to increase her potential investment returns and expand her options.
Put more simply, she had taken out loans secured against possessions of significant worth.
Archie had personally delivered checks from MKK after she made a deal with them.
The collateral items backing those loans were her secretly maintained overseas properties and certain valuable immovable assets that had belonged to her father.
