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

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

“Thank you, thank you.”Â
“Thank you, thank you, everyone.”Â
Hearing everyone’s congratulations, Jonas waved his handÂ
generously, not only ordering coffee and lunch for everyone butÂ
also inviting everyone to a weekend dinner.Â
For a while, the office was filled with excitement.Â
At that moment, Grayson came down from upstairs and calledÂ
out to Harriet, “Harriet, Mr. Barton wants you to go to his office.”Â
With a coffee in hand, Harriet grabbed another cup for Reginald and headed upstairs.Â
Knocking on the door to Reginald’s office, Harriet handed himÂ
the coffee and greeted him, “Mr. Barton.”Â
She added, “Mr. Zuniga ordered coffee and lunch, and alsoÂ
invited everyone to a weekend dinner.”Â
“Thank you.” Taking the coffee from Harriet, Reginald smiled and said, “Bringing you to Galaxy Innovations was definitely theÂ
right decision. You really are a better fit for Galaxy Innovations.”Â
After tasting the coffee Harriet brought, Reginald got straight toÂ
Chapter135Â
the point and asked, “Harriet, are the patents you obtainedÂ
before still under protection?”Â
Sitting across from Reginald’s desk, Harriet nodded, “They’re still within the protection period.”Â
Reginald put down his coffee, looked at Harriet, and asked,Â
“Would you be willing to transfer the patents to GalaxyÂ
Innovations?”Â
Before Harriet could reply, Reginald continued, “Once theÂ
patents are transferred, you and Jonas will both be projectÂ
leads. In addition to your patent fee and regular salary, you’llÂ
also receive dividends from the later profits of the home robotÂ
project.”Â
Reginald’s sudden offer to buy her patents, and with suchÂ
generous terms, made Harriet look up at him.Â
Even her action of drinking coffee paused.Â
Although she knew her patents had value, after all, severalÂ
years had passed.Â
Seeing her reaction, Reginald continued, “I’ve looked into it. IfÂ
your patented technology is used in the home robot, Galaxy Innovations could launch a prototype by the end of the year.Â
Chapter 135Â
Think it over.”Â
In fact, Harriet had also noticed the issue Reginald justÂ
mentioned.Â
She just hadn’t acted as quickly as Reginald, who brought it upÂ
first.Â
Hearing Reginald ask her to consider, Harriet said, “Alright, I can transfer the patent technology to Galaxy Innovations.”Â
