Chapter 1066:

Millie noted Foley’s increasingly uncomfortable expression but continued pressing forward without mercy. “If you truly wanted everyone to believe it was simply an intern’s honest mistake, then please explain to me why your venue remained absolutely packed with visitors on both the second and third days as well?”

Millie settled comfortably into a nearby chair.

“You kept this place open for visits for three whole days because you wanted to attract as many potential investors as possible. However, that extended timeframe also gave people with resources plenty of opportunity to conduct thorough investigations into your company’s actual situation. That’s precisely why you avoided directly approaching the top-tier enterprises in Crobert—companies like the Watson Group, Elliott Group, or Evans Group. Their due diligence teams would have uncovered the truth within hours. Based on their sophisticated risk assessment models, they would have immediately rejected your project given the current internal crisis you’re facing.

“But you still desperately needed to raise a substantial sum of money to convince your key technical partner not to abandon the company. So you created this elaborate strategy—building mystique around the project, establishing investment thresholds to make it seem exclusive, and even dramatically revealing news about overseas orders at eleven o’clock last night to generate urgency.”

Millie had just laid bare every strategic move Foley had made over the past several days.

Through her careful investigation, she had confirmed that Yaroslav Technology’s core innovation was genuinely excellent and market-viable. The current crisis threatening to destroy everything stemmed from a single source: the departure of their key technical personnel.

But what had driven that crucial person to consider leaving in the first place?

Millie had stumbled upon the answer quite by accident when she’d encountered Foley at the hospital during one of her visits. Given his packed schedule, she couldn’t help but wonder what he was doing there. Her curiosity got the better of her, so she quietly followed him to find out.

In that quiet hospital corridor, Millie overheard their heated exchange. The person arguing with Foley was none other than the company’s chief technical expert.

Originally, Yaroslav Technology had been a joint venture—Foley managed external affairs while his partner handled technical development.

But now, that partner was facing a personal crisis. His mother had fallen gravely ill, and the treatment costs were far beyond his means.

“Foley, please don’t blame me for this decision. I can’t just stand by and watch my mother die when I have the power to save her. I have to sell it. I promise—I won’t join any competing company for at least six months,” he’d explained, his voice heavy with guilt and desperation.

“But you know perfectly well that without you, Yaroslav Technology has no future whatsoever! Everything we’ve built will just stagnate and eventually collapse!” Foley had been visibly distraught, his agitation clear in every gesture.

However, his partner had simply shaken his head with resignation. The decision had already been made.

“I’ll get the money somehow,” Foley had said desperately. “Don’t sell the technology yet. Just give me time. I’ll borrow it; I’ll figure something out. Your mom will get her treatment. I swear I’ll do whatever it takes. We’ve known each other for how long? We started this company with nothing. You can’t give up now. Please, just give me one more chance.”

“But where would you possibly borrow that kind of money from?” his partner had responded with bitter resignation. “We’ve already exhausted all our borrowing options years ago when we mortgaged the company to its maximum value.”
