Everyone was praising her for her beauty and grace, saying she
and Ellsworth made a perfect pair.
Although there were some dissenting voices, Kelsey paid them
no mind.
Because what mattered more was that with the signing
between Galaxy Innovations and the Townsend Group, Rushtar
Group’s stock price also rose.
After turning off the live broadcast of the signing ceremony on her computer, Harriet was about to get back to work when her
phone on the desk rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Harriet picked up the phone and answered.
On the other end, a man’s voice quickly came through: “Ms.
Chavez, this is William Hurley from the Legal Department.”
“I’m contacting you regarding your divorce with Mr. Townsend. I’d like to ask if you have any requests or requirements concerning the divorce, such as specific needs regarding fixed
assets.”
Ellsworth was indeed punctual; he said he would notify the
Legal Department on Monday, and the lawyer called right on
Monday.
Sitting at her desk, Harriet replied calmly, “I have no other
requests, nor do I have any asset requirements. The sooner this
can be handled, the better.”
On the other end, the lawyer said, “Alright, Ms. Chavez, I
understand. We will process this as soon as possible.”
Harriet said, “Okay, thank you, Mr. Hurley.”
After hanging up, Harriet didn’t even have time for lunch before
heading to the lab with Jonas and the others.
In the days that followed, Harriet kept running back and forth to
the lab, even spending two nights in the lab’s dormitory.
As for Ellsworth, after signing the contract with Galaxy
Innovations, he went on a business trip.
The two of them went their separate ways, each busy with their
own affairs.

Life seemed to have returned to how it was before, except
Harriet was no longer at the Townsend Group, nor was she the
vice president.
That afternoon, when Harriet and Jonas returned from the lab,
everyone congratulated them.
“Mr. Zuniga, Ms. Chavez, Mr. Kemp, congratulations on the
breakthrough in your project. Congratulations to the team for
reaching a new milestone. We hope to see your home robot on
the market soon.”
“Mr. Zuniga, Ms. Chavez, Mr. Kemp, congratulations to all of
you.”
“Mr. Zuniga, Ms. Chavez, congratulations to you both.”
A few days ago, while rearranging and recalculating the code
data, Harriet discovered a major bug in Jonas’s project and
worked overtime alone to resolve it.
These past two days, the project team had been conducting
experiments in the lab, pushing the project into a new phase.
If all went well, their home robot could be trialed and launched
within the year.

“Thank you, thank you.”
“Thank you, thank you, everyone.”
Hearing everyone’s congratulations, Jonas waved his hand
generously, not only ordering coffee and lunch for everyone but
also inviting everyone to a weekend dinner.
For a while, the office was filled with excitement.
At that moment, Grayson came down from upstairs and called
out to Harriet, “Harriet, Mr. Barton wants you to go to his office.”
With a coffee in hand, Harriet grabbed another cup for Reginald and headed upstairs.
Knocking on the door to Reginald’s office, Harriet handed him
the coffee and greeted him, “Mr. Barton.”
She added, “Mr. Zuniga ordered coffee and lunch, and also
invited everyone to a weekend dinner.”
“Thank you.” Taking the coffee from Harriet, Reginald smiled and said, “Bringing you to Galaxy Innovations was definitely the
right decision. You really are a better fit for Galaxy Innovations.”
After tasting the coffee Harriet brought, Reginald got straight to
Chapter135
the point and asked, “Harriet, are the patents you obtained
before still under protection?”
Sitting across from Reginald’s desk, Harriet nodded, “They’re still within the protection period.”
Reginald put down his coffee, looked at Harriet, and asked,
“Would you be willing to transfer the patents to Galaxy
Innovations?”
Before Harriet could reply, Reginald continued, “Once the
patents are transferred, you and Jonas will both be project
leads. In addition to your patent fee and regular salary, you’ll
also receive dividends from the later profits of the home robot
project.”
Reginald’s sudden offer to buy her patents, and with such
generous terms, made Harriet look up at him.
Even her action of drinking coffee paused.
Although she knew her patents had value, after all, several
years had passed.
Seeing her reaction, Reginald continued, “I’ve looked into it. If
your patented technology is used in the home robot, Galaxy Innovations could launch a prototype by the end of the year.
Chapter 135
Think it over.”
In fact, Harriet had also noticed the issue Reginald just
mentioned.
She just hadn’t acted as quickly as Reginald, who brought it up
first.
Hearing Reginald ask her to consider, Harriet said, “Alright, I can transfer the patent technology to Galaxy Innovations.”
