Chapter117
Hearing Kelsey’s words, Harriet thought to herself, no wonder
Ellsworth didn’t sign the contract when he came over the day before yesterday.
So, this was the unexpected situation.
Lifting her cup and taking a gentle sip of coffee, Harriet asked,
“So, Kelsey, what are you getting at?”
Looking at Harriet, Kelsey spoke bluntly, “Hara, do you think you
could talk to Reginald and ask him not to block Rushtar Group?
Reginald values you, and he’ll definitely listen to you. Otherwise,
this will also affect the Townsend Group and Ells.”
After Kelsey finished, Harriet looked at her for a while without
changing her expression, then directly refused, “Kelsey, your
overestimate me. I have no right to interfere with Mr. Barton’s
decisions. I can’t help with this.”
At this point, Harriet thought Kelsey was very clever.
Just like Ellsworth, she wanted to squeeze every last bit of
value out of Harriet, to use her completely.
Chapter117
After Harriet refused, Kelsey said, “Hara, I feel that Reginald’s refusal to let Rushtar Group join the wireless power project is because of some misunderstanding about me and Ells. He probably only knows about your relationship with Ells, but doesn’t know about my past with him, so he has a personal bias
against me.”
“So, I was hoping you could explain to Reginald that things between me and Ells aren’t what he thinks. We were together a
long time ago.”
Kelsey’s sense of entitlement and self-righteousness left
Harriet shocked.
She looked up and just stared at Kelsey.
She wanted her to explain to Reginald, as if she were the third party between her and Ellsworth?
What was Kelsey thinking?
How could she even say such a thing?
Harriet gazed at Kelsey for a long time, seeing her waiting
earnestly for an answer, and replied unhurriedly, “Kelsey, I don’t know about your past with Ellsworth. All I know is that when Grandpa arranged this marriage, Ellsworth never mentioned
Chapter117
you, never mentioned your past together, and never refused
Grandpa’s arrangement.”
Back then, she had fought for herself, but she only told her
grandfather that the person she liked was Ellsworth, only when
Raymond asked her who she liked and wanted to marry.
She chose Ellsworth.
At that time, she didn’t know about the relationship between her
and Ellsworth, and Ellsworth himself agreed to the engagement.
Before Kelsey could speak, Harriet made her stance clear: “This
matter, Kelsey, you and Ellsworth should discuss it yourselves.
If you’re really worried about him being in a difficult position,
Rushtar Group can always choose to withdraw from the
project.”
At this point, Harriet glanced at her watch, stood up and said,
“Kelsey, I have work to do, so I won’t keep you company.”
With that, she picked up her phone and turned to leave.
Kelsey hurriedly stood up as well, wanting to reach out and stop
Harriet, to say a few more words, but she couldn’t keep her.
Watching Harriet’s departing figure, Kelsey’s expression was far
Chapter117
from pleasant.
Was this still the Harriet she used to know?
Was she still the Harriet who never talked back, never
complained, and always did as she was told?
Truly heartless.
***
On her way back to Galaxy Innovations from the cafe, Harriet
had just entered the office building when she ran into Reginald
in the lobby.
“Mr. Barton.” Harriet greeted him politely.
“Mm.” Reginald closed the documents he was reading and
responded to Harriet as if nothing had happened.
When they reached the elevator, Harriet pressed the button.
When the doors opened, the two of them entered one after the
other.
As the elevator ascended, Reginald said, “Grace likes you a lot.
She said she wants to hang out with you when she has time.”
Harriet smiled and replied, “Grace is adorable, and she knows a
Chapter117
lot. I enjoy spending time with her too.”
Then, Harriet changed the subject and asked, “By the way, Mr.
Barton, why did Galaxy Innovations suddenly refuse to let
Rushtar Group join the project?”
She hadn’t intended to plead for anyone; she was simply
curious why Reginald had suddenly changed his mind.
From Harriet’s question, Reginald could more or less guess
whom she had just met.
With both hands holding documents behind his back, Reginald replied nonchalantly, “Rushtar Group doesn’t meet the qualifications. Besides, life can’t be too perfect. Kelsey should be happy in other ways and have plenty. If Galaxy Innovations’ cooperation leaves her with a little regret, it’s nothing worth
mentioning.”
He hadn’t cared about her relationship with Ellsworth before,
but that night at the hospital, at the moment the elevator doors
closed, he didn’t know if Harriet had seen the look in Kelsey’s
eyes.
But he had seen it-Kelsey was looking at Harriet, her eyes filled
with pride… and provocation.
Chapter117
So, he changed his mind.
