“Oh!” Vicente responded slowly, then added, “By the way, Ms.
Chavez, the experience robot sent over by Galaxy Innovations–l
haven’t had time to try it out recently. I’ll contact you if I need
anything.”
Harriet said, “No problem, just try it when you have time.”
As a leader, with so many people in Amberville and so many
things waiting for him to handle, he must be very busy.
She could understand.
After speaking, Harriet turned her face back and looked ahead
as if nothing had happened.
Harriet had never been a talkative person; she could go a whole
day without saying a word.
Now, being with Vicente, she spoke even less.
Turning to look at Harriet, seeing her so quiet and composed,
Vicente couldn’t help but smile faintly, finding her quite
interesting.

He could easily guess that when Harriet was a student, she
must have been the gentle, obedient, and well–behaved type of
girl.
Usually not very noticeable, but always surprising everyone
during exams–the kind of student teachers and school leaders
liked best.
“By the way, Ms. Chavez, how many projects does Galaxy
Innovations have right now?”
Hearing Vicente’s question, Harriet quickly replied, “Currently,
there are nine ongoing projects. Besides home robots, we’re
also developing wireless power transmission, the latest satellite
positioning, and…”
Once the topic turned to work, Harriet immediately got into the
zone.
Calmly and steadily, Vicente watched Harriet. When she talked
about work, it was as if she became a different person–very
professional and engaged, able to talk endlessly.
Vicente’s smile grew even more obvious.
He listened with great attentiveness.

For a while, the atmosphere in the car became livelier, no longer
so quiet and awkward.
It wasn’t until the car was about to reach Galaxy Innovations
that their conversation naturally came to an end.
Neither too early nor too late–the timing was just right.
After the car stopped, Harriet opened the door and got out.
“Goodbye, Mr. Leach. Thank you again.”
Vicente replied, “You’re welcome.”
Only after Vicente and Harriet had exchanged farewells did the
driver smoothly start the car again.
After a silent ride, the driver couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Leach,
it’s lunchtime now. Why didn’t you invite Ms. Chavez to eat with
you?”
Having been Vicente’s driver for several years, he had rarely
seen Vicente talk so much in private, or take the initiative to
chat with someone.
So it was quite odd that they didn’t eat together at mealtime.
In response to the driver’s question, Vicente smiled and said,
Chapter184
“That young lady is rather shy. If I invited her to eat now, it
would make her uncomfortable.”
The driver suddenly understood. “Ms. Chavez is indeed quite
shy.”
Vicente just smiled and said nothing more.

On the other side.
After returning to the office, Harriet casually ordered some
takeout and then threw herself into work.
For several days afterward, she left early and came home late.
But she did adjust her working hours a bit, going to bed earlier
than before.
Whether intentionally or not, she and Ellsworth had managed to
perfectly miss each other almost every day.
Even though they both lived at home, they hadn’t run into each other for several days.
At least while she was awake, she hadn’t seen Ellsworth.
Chapter184
It wasn’t until Saturday, when Raymond was discharged from
the hospital, that she and Kathie went to the new house to tidy
up a bit. Then Kathie invited her to dinner at the Townsend’s
mansion.
With two different divorce agreements in her bag, she went
back to the Townsend’s mansion with Kathie.
At the dinner table, the family was lively and cheerful. No one
mentioned Harriet and Ellsworth’s divorce, and everyone
avoided the topic.
However, Ellsworth didn’t come home today.
After dinner, Harriet chatted with Kathie for a while. When
Kathie’s friend called, Harriet took the agreements and went to
the backyard to find Raymond.
At the chess table, Raymond took the agreement Harriet
handed over.
He looked completely at a loss.
Frowning deeply, Raymond was silent for a long time before
finally looking up at Harriet. “Hara, are you really determined to
divorce Ells?”
Chapter184
Sitting across from him, Harriet nodded seriously. “Grandpa, I’ve
thought it through very clearly.”
Before Raymond could speak, Harriet continued, “As for these
two agreements, one was prepared by me. Ellsworth can sign whichever he wants. I also hope you won’t put too much pressure on him regarding the division of assets.”
Too much pressure would only slow down their divorce
process.
As soon as Harriet finished, Raymond quickly said, “That’s
between the two of you. I didn’t pressure him. Everything in the
contract is what he voluntarily gave you–it’s what he owes you.”
At this point, Raymond added, “Ells isn’t actually a stingy
person. It was my mistake back then.”
