Chapter 1065:
The terms were clear and unforgiving. If Millie failed to repay the loans within the agreed timeframe, they could legally claim ownership of that collateral.
MKK had been interested in acquiring those particular assets for years, but Millie had always refused to hand them over. Without her signature and consent, they simply could not take possession of the properties.
Therefore, when MKK heard that Millie was finally willing to use those coveted assets as security for a substantial loan, they agreed to her terms with remarkable speed and enthusiasm. Of course, Millie had no intention of investing this entire sum into the Yaroslav Technology project alone. She had several other strategic purposes in mind for these funds that would serve her long-term goals.
Millie was perfectly aware that if she simply asked Myron for financial assistance, he would transfer whatever amount she needed into her account without hesitation or questions. But she refused to take that easy path.
She didn’t want anyone to perceive her as dependent on other people’s decisions or resources. She refused to be seen as the lesser partner in everyone’s eyes.
She needed to prove—both to herself and to the world watching—that she and the Bennett family legacy could stand strong on their own merits.
Besides, Myron was currently facing tremendous pressure from within the Elliott Group regarding their relationship. She needed to work toward building their shared future in a way that strengthened his position rather than weakening it.
With these determined thoughts occupying her mind, Millie turned her attention toward Foley, who was pacing anxiously back and forth across the room. She rose from her seat and approached him with purposeful steps.
“Mr. Carter, do you have a few minutes? I think we should talk privately,” Millie suggested.
Foley pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the perspiration from his worried brow before nodding his reluctant agreement.

The two of them moved together into a smaller meeting room located just down the hall. Millie glanced back at Taylor, who immediately understood the unspoken instruction. Taylor gave a quick nod and positioned herself strategically at the door to prevent any unwanted eavesdropping.
“Miss Bennett, what exactly did you want to discuss?” Foley asked once Millie had firmly closed the door behind them.
“Let’s talk about the recent departure of your key technical personnel,” Millie stated bluntly, cutting straight through any pretense or small talk.
Foley stood frozen, completely taken aback by how fast the news had traveled.
Was it possible that everyone knew already?
As Foley struggled to formulate any kind of response, Millie calmly laid out her analysis of the entire sequence of events. “At the recent exhibition and industry conference, Yaroslav Technology suddenly unveiled their latest technological p>
“You unveiled your latest technological innovation at the recent exhibition and industry conference without any prior hints or leaks to generate buzz. You created this incredible air of mystery around your company that successfully captured everyone’s attention. For three consecutive days afterward, your offices were absolutely overwhelmed with interested visitors showing up every single day p>
Millie allowed herself a knowing smile. “Mr. Carter, you’re actually quite clever in your approach. You used that intern’s supposed mistake as a convenient excuse to manage the crowds and brush off the less serious investors. But I had my assistant keep very close tabs on that poor intern. While he chose his words carefully during his public scolding, there was one detail that struck me as highly suspicious. He kept crying throughout the entire ordeal and was continuously berated by his superiors, as though the whole performance was deliberately staged for everyone to witness that it was genuinely his error p>
