Caleb looked completely broken.
He knew the rumors had spread; any rational investor would view Aegis as radioactive.
There was no reason to roll the dice on a sinking ship.
Frederick and Chloe were only here to cause chaos and use his company as a slaughterhouse for Emilia.
What could she possibly do?
"I spoke to Felix," Emilia said softly. "You know Dr. McCarthy's reputation. He reviewed the charts with his surgical team. There is a cutting-edge procedure available for her condition. The success rate isn't a guarantee, but it's a solid fighting chance."
She had asked Felix to reach out to Elias the previous night.
Elias was desperate to save his mother but shattered at the thought of losing Aegis.
"That tech is my blood and sweat. We built it day and night," Elias had confessed to Felix.
"And Felix told me Elias is willing to stay if the surgery is funded," Emilia concluded.
Caleb shot up from his chair, a spark of wild hope igniting in his face.
But reality quickly crushed him again.
"But the cost..."
Emilia smiled. "Calculate the surgical fees and draft a personal promissory note. I will loan you the money from my private accounts. We keep this entirely separate from Dennis Capital and Aegis Dynamics's corporate ledgers."
Caleb stared at her, completely stunned.
Then, profound relief washed over him.
He choked up, reaching across the table to grip her hand like a lifeline. "Ms. Dennis... I don't even know how to repay you..."
"Make Aegis Dynamics the unicorn I know it is," Emilia said, gently patting his shoulder.
Caleb wiped his eyes, letting out a wet, embarrassed laugh as she passed him a tissue.
"So," Emilia shifted gears, her tone turning to pure business. "What is your actual target for this round?"
"We asked for three hundred million, but honestly, a hundred million would keep us aggressive," he admitted with a genuine smile.
Emilia nodded.
