Chapter 60
“Well, Ben just couldn’t spit it out.
“Spit it out.” Attlee was getting a bit impatient. “Whatever you’ve got to say, just say it! We’ve been
working together for years; do you really think I’d fire you over a few misced words?”
“Mr. Murphy, of course you wouldn’t! It’s just that they said some pretty nasty things. I didn’t want to
upset you.” Ben was too embarrassed to ry the message.

The more he kept his mouth shut, the more Attlee wanted to know.
Ben followed him into the elevator and into his office before finally spilling the beans: “They called you
an idiot, said they’ve had enough of your stupidity, and don’t want to work with you anymore! Basically,
they’ve thrown a bunch of weird insults your way.”
“Whichpany said this?” How dare they insult him?
Attlee was instantly ticked off. He got it; they didn’t want to work with him, but why hurl all these bizarre
insults?
“There were three in total, the biggest one being the nastiest.” Ben said, struggling to get the words
out.
Upon hearing this, Attlee felt a pang of unease: “Was It Allbara Investment?”
Yes.”
Allbara Investment was a top–notch venture capital firm in Solterra. Its founder was known as the “God
of Venture Capital” and any project she invested in was sure to hit the jackpot.
Many small enterprises were able to expand and strengthen their businesses because of their
investments.
In the past, no matter what Attlee wanted to develop, he could easily secure funds just by mentioning it
to Allbara Investment. Even if the project ended up tanking and the money was lost, they never med
him.
Seeing Allbara Investment backing him up, otherpanies assumed he had some powerful backing
and treated him with respect.
But what’s going on now?
Why suddenly refused to work with him?
“Which project did west ask Allbara Investment for funds for?” Attlee couldn’t remember.
“Mr. Murphy, two months ago you secured funding from Allbara Investment to buy IU Tech.”
IU Tech was a high–tech mirrorpany. People could try on all the clothes in the store just by
standing in front of the mirror and touching the electronic system; there was no need for actual
clothes…
The Murphy family made their fortune in the clothing business, owning their own productionpany
and physical stores. Attlee wanted to install IU Tech’s mirrors in all his stores, allowing customers to try
on more clothes without wasting time and hopefully buy more to take home.
“But who would have thought that the clothes tried on with IU Tech’s mirrors would look different than
when tried on by the customers themselves? The difference was just too big.” His secretary regretted.
Not to mention that the maintenance cost of IU Tech’s mirrors was high; they had high environmental
requirements; if exposed to sunlight for a long time, they would burst into mes; if installed in a damp
ce for a long time, they would malfunction; sometimes the figure in the mirror would distort In short,
Attlee had tens of thousands of IU Tech’s mirrors installed and then removed.
It cost a fortune; not only did he lose all of Allbara Investment’s money, but he also lost a lot of his
own.
Attlee pondered, “Could this be why?”
Was this why Allbara Investment no longer wanted to work with him?
“That wouldn’t be it.” Ben hurriedly said, “Previously, you took funds from Allbara Investment to invest
in a clothing city and ended up losing everything, including your own money, but Allbara Investment still
continued to work with us.”
Attlee thought about it. If they didn’t want to work with him, they would have stopped a long time ago;
why wait until now?
“Did Allbara Investment mention anything else apart from insulting me?”
“No.”
The founder of Allbara Investment never appeared in public; all business was handed over to Solterra’s
CEO, Mr. Dn.
