Craving 125

Chapter125 

Chapter125 

All along, she had always gone back by herself to keep her 

grandfather company. 

And that phone call just now-it was from Kelsey. She had heard 

Even though she was a bit far away, she still caught Kelsey’s 

voice. 

Understanding as always, Harriet made Ellsworth, phone in 

hand, lower his gaze and just look at her. 

Back when they had just gotten married, if he didn’t come home 

or ignored her, she would feel disappointed, and her eyes would 

show her sadness. 

But now, her eyes were calm and unruffled. 

At this moment, she busied herself as if he wasn’t even part of 

this home. 

He just stood there watching Harriet until a message came in 

on WhatsApp, snapping Ellsworth back to reality. He gathered 

his things and left. 

Chapter125 

The bedroom door slammed shut. Holding the clothes she had 

just folded, Harriet turned to glance toward the doorway. 

She stared at the door for a while, then snapped out of it, 

finished folding the clothes, tidied herself up, and drove home 

to see her grandfather. 

After having lunch with her grandfather at home, when the old 

man next door came over to play chess, Harriet put on a hat 

and went out to the yard to trim the flowers and plants. 

Few young people would do this kind of work, but Harriet had 

grown up with her grandfather, so whatever the old men could 

do, she could too. 

Just as she finished trimming a bonsai pine, her phone rang in 

her pocket. She took it out and saw it was a call from Jolene. 

Since leaving the Townsend Group, she hadn’t been in touch 

with Jolene for some time. 

Putting down her scissors, Harriet walked under the grape arbor 

with her phone, swiped to answer, and greeted with a smile, 

“Jolene, is there something you need?” 

On the other end, Jolene’s voice sounded a bit aggrieved: “Ms. 

Chavez, there’s something I’ve been thinking about for days. I 

Chapter125 

felt I should call you and report it to you.” 

Holding the phone to her ear with her left hand and fanning 

herself with her right, Harriet smiled and said, “Go ahead.” 

Hearing Harriet’s warm voice, Jolene said, “Ms. Chavez, Mr. 

Townsend is planning to hand over the acquisition of Voyage 

Group to Rushtar Group. This is a big project, and it’s an 

important one for the company.” 

“So I’ve been thinking about it for days, and I felt I should report 

this to you, Ms. Chavez. If possible, could you try to persuade 

Mr. Townsend? Ask him to reconsider the acquisition of Voyage 

Group.” 

Originally, the company’s shareholders were all against it, but 

after Ellsworth held a meeting, everyone agreed. 

Jolene had worked with Harriet for years. She couldn’t swallow 

this injustice on Harriet’s behalf, feeling that Ellsworth was too 

biased, too protective of Kelsey, and didn’t respect Harriet as 

his wife. That’s why she made this call. 

After all, no matter what, Harriet was still Ellsworth’s wife and 

held 10% of the Townsend Group’s shares. 

Feeling Jolene’s indignation, Harriet took a few steps to the 

Chapter125 

side and, without showing any emotion, sat down on a stone 

bench behind her-only to find it too hot to sit on, so she stood up again, smiling as she said, “Alright, I know about this. I’ll 

think about how to talk to Ellsworth. Jolene, thank you for 

letting me know.” 

Harriet’s good temper only made Jolene more upset for her. 

Jolene said sadly, “Ms. Chavez, you’re just too easygoing. 

That’s why other women keep pushing their luck. Ms. Chavez, 

please don’t be so nice anymore. Even if you don’t want to stay 

married to Mr. Townsend, don’t make things so easy for other 

women. You should make an agreement with Mr. Townsend so 

he can’t keep protecting Rushtar Group like this.” 

Jolene felt bad for her, and Harriet herself felt a bit bitter inside. 

She said, “I understand. I’ll think of something.” 

Seeing that Harriet was receptive, Jolene changed the subject 

and gently asked, “Ms. Chavez, is there a position at Galaxy 

Innovations that I could handle? I don’t really want to stay at the 

Townsend Group anymore. If possible, I’d like to continue 

working as your secretary at Galaxy Innovations.” 

On this end, Harriet couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “I can’t 

afford a secretary at Galaxy Innovations yet, but I can help you 

look for other positions.” 

Chapter125 

“Alright, thank you, Ms. Chavez.” 

After chatting for a while longer, the two finally hung up. 

Now that Harriet was no longer vice president at the Townsend 

Group, her conversations with Jolene felt more like those between friends. 

Jolene’s true personality was starting to show a bit more. 

Actually, she came from quite a background herself.
