Chapter154
That time, during Ellsworth’s conversation with Johnathan, she
had already learned the answer.
Ellsworth thought she married into the Townsend family for money and power, which was why he had treated her so coldly for the past three years. He also thought she wasn’t worthy of
sharing the family assets with him.
In reality, she had never wanted any of his assets.
It was the weekend, and there were quite a few cars on the
road.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the office building. When Harriet arrived at the company, Reginald
had already come over from the lab.
“Mr. Barton.” Knocking on the door of Reginald’s office, Harriet
greeted him politely.
Reginald was on the phone. Seeing Harriet arrive, he nodded toward the sofa with his chin, signaling her to sit, and then
poured her a cup of tea.
While Reginald was on the phone, Harriet took the tea he
handed her and waited quietly by his side.
A moment passed.
After finishing his call, Reginald looked at Harriet and said, “I
need to go see Sir Leach. Come with me.”
Sir Leach?
Alvin Leach, Minister Leach?
In Amberville, the only person Reginald would call Sir Leach was
probably Alvin Leach.
Even though Harriet didn’t ask, Reginald answered her, “That’s
right, it’s Minister Leach, just as you thought. I’ll take you to
meet him, and we can talk about other things on the way.”
Since Reginald wanted her to come along, Harriet went with
him.
On the way, Reginald kept both hands on the steering wheel
and said to Harriet in an unhurried tone, “Sir Leach is the senior
technical advisor at Galaxy Innovations. He holds technical shares in the company, but he never accepts dividends, so I had
legal turn them all into shares. That makes Sir Leach a
shareholder too.”
“Normally, except for occasionally visiting the lab or doing technical work, Sir Leach doesn’t see anyone or get involved in
company management.”
“A while back when you joined the company, I mentioned you to Sir Leach. He’s been wanting to meet you, so that’s why I called
you over today.”
After Reginald’s explanation, Harriet said, “Mr. Barton, Galaxy
Innovations is really unfathomable.”
With both hands on the wheel, Reginald laughed and said, “It’s
not that serious. It’s just a group of like-minded people coming
together.’
After that, as Reginald talked to Harriet about other company
matters and the project, Harriet listened intently.
As for the Alvin they were about to meet, he was the most
respected figure in Amberville, having made great contributions
to the country’s technological progress in his early years. Although he was now retired, his connections and influence
remained strong.
Moreover, everyone in the Leach family was extremely capable.
He also had a grandson named Vicente Leach, twenty-nine years old, who had just returned to Amberville last year to
assume the critical role of City Manager.
So young, yet with such a promising future.
When it came to prestigious families in Amberville, the Leach
family was second to none-fully capable of going head-to-head
with the Townsend family, and not at a disadvantage.
Harriet had heard all this from Kathie, who said that in all of
Amberville, the only family she truly respected was the Leach
family.
Outside of Amberville, there was no one she respected at all.
Listening earnestly to Reginald talk about these things, as well
as the technical guidance and development of guidance
systems by Sir Leach, Harriet soon found the car entering the
Leach mansion.
The Leach mansion was located a bit outside the city, looking
dignified and steady from the outside in.
It wasn’t Reginald’s first time visiting, but the guards still asked
some questions, registered their personal and vehicle information, and conducted a security check before letting
them in.
Seeing the solemnity of the Leach mansion, Harriet, who was
already serious by nature, became even more composed than
usual.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a square, somewhat aged
building. Reginald led Harriet out of the car.
They entered the house, and the housekeeper politely served
them tea.
At that moment, Alvin came down from the second floor,
holding a cane in one hand, accompanied by a young, plain-
looking girl who was probably also a housekeeper of the Leach
family.
Seeing Reginald arrive, Alvin greeted him with a hearty laugh,
“Reginald, you’re here.”
“Sir Leach.” Reginald stood up to greet him, and Harriet quickly
stood up as well.
After the greetings, Reginald went over to help Alvin, and the
young housekeeper quietly withdrew.
At this point, Harriet also greeted him politely, “Sir Leach.”
Hearing Harriet’s greeting, Alvin turned to Reginald and asked, “Reginald, is this the Harriet you’ve mentioned a few times? So young! She’s even younger than I was when I started working in the lab.”
