Chapter 1094
Chapter 1094:
There were those who insisted he had gone abroad to salvage some international deals. A few others argued that he was hoping to smooth things over with Spencer. Plenty of talk circled that he had simply disappeared along with a chunk of the money he had just gotten from Millie and Charles.
Regardless of the reason, leaving the country when everything was in chaos did not bode well.
Babette heard the news and burst out laughing.
“We’ll see how Millie manages to wriggle her way out of this,” she said, her eyes flashing with satisfaction.
Egbert had acted with real urgency and concern when he came to her rescue years ago.
Her accomplishments in Flesta over all those past years also spoke for her.
The Bennett family had faded into obscurity long ago, and Millie was nothing, while over in Crobert, Babette enjoyed respect from the people.
Millie had nothing that could measure up to her.
“This is nothing more than Millie going back to where she started,” Babette said with a sneer.
She dialed her subordinates for another update.
“Get me a report on what Millie’s been doing lately. She’s already lost a large sum, so I’m sure she’s scrambling to make it back.” Babette let out a short laugh. “If she’s desperate enough, she’ll slip up, and that’s when we’ll catch her mistakes p>
“Understood,” her subordinate responded right away on the other end of the line.
The following day, Millie returned home.
Her face showed her frustration as soon as she stepped off the plane.

The moment she appeared, reporters rushed in from every direction.
“Millie, can you tell us why you traveled overseas this time p>
“Millie, did you get a chance to look over Yaroslav Technology’s latest investment move p>
“Millie, what do you make of the accusations that people only see you as something nice to look at p>
One tough question followed another, but Millie kept quiet and let her bodyguards guide her straight into a waiting car. The engine started, and the car pulled away without delay. Footage of the scene made the rounds online, with Millie clearly looking rattled.
People on the Internet started speculating wildly, convinced that Millie’s career was about to unravel.
“The board has been putting more pressure on Myron, and now that Foley has vanished, Millie must be on edge.” This comment received the most approval from everyone.
At that moment, while sitting in the back seat, Myron turned to look at Millie and asked, “What’s bothering you p>
Millie still looked unsettled.
“There’s a chance copper prices will go up,” Millie replied.
Even now, she could not shake off the tension from what had happened in the last few days. Her recent business trip had taken her to Gliphis, where she held discussions with representatives from a foreign company. Not long after the talks ended, something unexpected happened. The meeting location was close to a large underground copper mine, so both sides went over to see what was happening.
