Chapter 1107:
Of course, it was Babette again.
From the very beginning, Babette had been targeting her relentlessly—first with the Yaroslav Technology situation, and now with these coordinated attacks on metal commodity prices. Millie had genuinely hoped to avoid direct confrontation with Babette. She had tried to take the high road and focus on her own business rather than getting drawn into petty conflicts. But it was becoming increasingly clear that avoiding this battle was no longer a realistic option.
Since Babette seemed determined to provoke her at every opportunity, Millie had finally reached her limit. If Babette wanted a fight, then it was time to hit back—and hit back hard enough that the message would be crystal clear.
“Taylor, I want you to tell the team that we’re going to…” Millie paused for a moment, her eyes sweeping across the various reports and documents scattered across her desk. Then she leaned in closer to Taylor and began outlining her strategy in a low, confidential voice.
After receiving Millie’s instructions, Taylor immediately set out to carry out the plan.
Millie’s eyes stayed fixed on the computer screen, her mind a storm of thoughts she couldn’t quiet.
The interface glowing before her was her father’s creation—one of the few things he’d left behind. Buried deep within it might be the truth behind his death.
And she had to break through the black box somehow. Taylor didn’t waste a second before sending the signal for the team to act.
Moments later, at Watson Group, a sudden knock echoed on the door of Babette’s office.
“Come in,” Babette said.
Lately, her mood had been unusually bright.

Yaroslav Technology hadn’t made any notable progress, and even though Spencer had returned to the country, there had been no major breakthroughs. Millie’s shares stayed dormant, showing no sign of growth.
And with Babette relentlessly suppressing the market, Millie’s copper investments had taken heavy losses.
Though the losses weren’t tangible yet—just figures flickering on a screen—it was enough to make Babette feel victorious.
It confirmed what she had always believed: Millie’s past success at Yaroslav Technology had been pure luck, not talent. Lately, Babette often found herself humming as she walked, a sign of the good mood she’d been in.
The secretary rushed into the room and stopped in front of Babette.
“Miss Watson…” she began cautiously.
“Take a breath.” Babette leaned back, relaxed. “What is it p>
The secretary quickly handed Babette a tablet.
“We’ve been misled. Millie’s target isn’t copper at all,” the secretary said quickly. “She’s been putting her money into gold p>
“What?” Babette snatched the tablet.
“She must have known someone was watching the company’s accounts,” the secretary explained. “So she leaked fake information to misdirect us. Everyone thought copper was her target, but she’s been quietly funneling her capital into
Gold instead. And gold prices… they’ve been climbing nonstop for the past week. After yesterday’s market update, they shot up even higher.” Sweat gathered on the secretary’s brow as she spoke.
