Chapter 1071:
Babette nodded thoughtfully before speaking. “Since there aren’t any other investors stepping in, here’s a new proposal—why don’t we each take a quarter? Seventy-five million apiece p>
That meant Reuben and Babette would jointly invest one hundred and fifty million, leaving Millie and Charles to match the same.
Reuben smiled, his gaze steady on Charles. “Seems fair, doesn’t it, Charles? The question is—do you have the nerve to take the chance p>
Millie and Charles exchanged a quick glance.
Charles caught her meaning and nodded slightly. “Why wouldn’t I?” he said evenly.
Reuben gave a short, amused laugh. “You talk a big game,” he said. “But this isn’t a bluffing match. Once you sign, it’s real money—no room for pretenders. You sure you’ve got the liquidity to back that confidence p>
Charles smirked. “You don’t need to worry about that, brother p>
“Is that so?” Reuben’s tone dripped with mock civility as he turned his attention to Millie, his smile sharp and knowing.
Millie didn’t respond, her composure unshaken.
Babette’s eyes slid toward her, a taunting glint in them. “What about you, Millie?” she asked sweetly. “Still sticking with sixty million? Leaving poor Charles to carry the rest p>
Millie lifted her gaze, meeting Babette’s look with quiet steadiness.
A few days earlier, Egbert had told her he had cleared things up with Babette. But it seemed Babette still held the same resentment as before.
“Alright, JM Investments will contribute seventy-five million,” Millie said clearly, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
Babette let out another laugh.

She had just received a new message on her phone. “All the funds in Millie’s account are borrowed. Tens of millions of her capital are stuck overseas. Our contact at MKK says the repayment deadline is approaching. If she can’t pay it in time, the collateral—including her and James’ previous assets—will fall into MKK’s lap p>
Babette toyed with her phone, smirking. “Millie, are you sure about this p>
“This was your idea, wasn’t it? I’m in. Doesn’t that make you happy?” Millie replied with a calm smile.
Babette’s grin widened. “Of course it does! I couldn’t be happier.” She clapped her hands together with satisfaction and turned to Foley. “Alright then—let’s proceed with the signing p>
Foley blinked in surprise, momentarily thrown off by how quickly things were moving. His gaze swept the room, taking in the eager expressions around the table before he finally nodded. “Oh, well… does anyone have any proposals?” he asked with a cheerful smile.
The excitement in his tone was unmistakable.
At first, he had thought raising one hundred million would be impressive, but now they had secured three hundred million, and Spencer’s mother’s surgery had also been arranged. Millie had even offered to lend them the money for the medical bills.
Foley’s friendship with Spencer had always been solid—they had built the company from the ground up together. Though several firms had tried to lure Spencer away with lucrative offers, he had never wavered.
