Chapter182
Stumbling back a few steps, Harriet looked up at Ellsworth just as he reached out to pinch her face, pulling her closer as if to
kiss her like he used to. Without thinking, Harriet shoved him
away.
She raised her hand and swung it toward his face.
However, just as her palm was about to land on Ellsworth’s face, she stopped herself at the last moment and didn’t go through with it.
Her right hand, raised in midair, slowly curled into a fist. She withdrew her hand and said calmly, “Ellsworth, the reason I didn’t hit you is because you once saved me, and we’ve known‘ each other for so many years. I don’t want…”
At this point, Harriet hesitated, then changed the subject: “Our
families are still connected, so I hope we can part on good
terms.”
She continued, “Also, I’ll transfer the follow–up service for your
product to Jonas, because I might have personal feelings when
dealing with you.”

After proposing the divorce, she had actually accommodated him many times and cooperated with him many times.
When she resigned, the company’s stock price hit the limit down, and he handled everything alone. He never blamed her, and she was somewhat moved by that.
But she later realized that his tenderness that day was just an
act, using her as a prop.
After all this time, he hadn’t changed at all.
She no longer expected him to change.
At this point, Harriet said nothing more. She walked past him in silence, opened the bedroom door, and went inside quietly.
In the hallway, Ellsworth turned to face the other way, his
expression darkening.
Harriet was even more stubborn than he had imagined.
After returning to her room, Harriet couldn’t calm down for a
long time, but she did feel a sense of relief.
She still didn’t know why Ellsworth refused to go through with
the procedures, but she no longer cared.

take a shower.
The next day at work, she asked Jonas for leave and went to
the law firm herself to get the agreement.
When the lawyer saw her asking for the agreement, he said with
a sigh, “Ms. Chavez, if Mr. Townsend won’t sign, it doesn’t
matter how many copies you take from me.”
But she still took the agreement with her.
After returning to the company from the law firm, she swapped Ellsworth’s product follow–up with Jonas for another client.
When Harriet said she wanted to switch, Jonas didn’t say a
word and just swapped with her.
After finishing this, Harriet felt much more at ease, though she was a bit surprised by the agreement Ellsworth had asked the
legal department to prepare.
She hadn’t expected Ellsworth to give her so much.
After receiving the agreement, she signed the one Ellsworth had
prepared, and also signed two more copies of the one she had
prepared earlier, planning to give them to Raymond after he

was discharged from the hospital.
She wanted him to talk to Ellsworth about it.
After all, over the past three years, everyone in the Townsend family knew how much she had done for Ellsworth and how many times she had played along with him.
Even if she had once liked him and wanted to marry him, it was
just youthful ignorance.
But… she had already paid the price.
After sorting out her thoughts, Harriet quickly adjusted herself
and threw herself back into work.

On Friday, she, Grayson, and Jonas went to a government
meeting early in the morning.
It was a high–tech symposium.
In addition to several high–tech companies in the city, Kelsey
also attended as a representative of Rushtar Group.
Ellsworth didn’t come this time, so the two of them were rarely
seen together.
Chapter182
So, Kelsey sat with the boss of Rushtar Group, and the two of
them seemed to get along quite well.
The other person, around forty years old, sat with Kelsey and praised her to the skies, so everyone else treated Kelsey with great respect, showering her with compliments, saying Edgar
was lucky to have such a daughter.
They even said that anyone who married Kelsey would be even
luckier.
After all, the Graham family’s background was well known, and
Kelsey had a good relationship with Ellsworth.
In the end, Kelsey was chosen as the spokesperson for the companies today, representing them in a brief speech.
Surrounded by admiration, Kelsey smiled graciously and said, “Everyone is being so polite, so I can’t refuse. If I don’t do well,
please forgive me.”
“Ms. Graham, you’re too modest.”
“Ms. Graham, just speak boldly. If you don’t do well, then the
rest of us have no hope at all.”
