Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 742

The moment the words left his mouth, Emilia knew exactly what Frederick was doing. This was a calculated power play to humiliate her.

Even if it meant blowing up Aegis Dynamics's entire summit.

Caleb felt a cold sweat break out on the back of his neck. "Frederick, this is highly irregular. A hundred million dollars? To demand that on the spot... I don't think..."

Discontent rippled through the room.

Whether they were founders or corporate reps, everyone felt the sting.

Frederick's blatant power trip was a slap in the face to all of them.

How were they supposed to verify a hundred million dollars with zero warning?

The boardroom erupted into chaos.

"Just because you have deep pockets doesn't give you the right to push us around! This is Aegis Dynamics's summit, not a Donovan Group board meeting!"

"If you had a backroom deal with Frederick from the start, Caleb, why bother dragging the rest of us out here?"

"This is a waste of our time!"

...

Chloe shifted in her seat, suddenly anxious. She wasn't worried about the money, but she needed Emilia to fall into the massive trap hidden within this investment. If Emilia couldn't even meet the threshold, she'd walk away unscathed!

"Frederick," Chloe interjected, feigning diplomacy. "I agree this is a bit sudden. This is Caleb's show; we should respect his process."

But Frederick ignored her, his predatory gaze still pinned on Emilia.

"Everyone else has voiced their complaints," he said smoothly. "Why so quiet, Emilia?"

Emilia met his stare with a careless smirk.

"They've already made my points for me. I don't need to repeat them."
