Chapter103

Isn’t that Harriet’s family car? Isn’t it their marital property?

Although he wasn’t married and had little experience with

rtionships, he still understood whose money was whose, and

whose property belonged to whom.

Since Reginald had spoken, Harriet nodded at him. “Alright, Mr.

Barton. See you at the office tomorrow.”

In truth, Harriet didn’t like getting close to Kelsey-partly because

of her rtionship with Ellsworth, and also, again, because of

her rtionship with Ellsworth. Besides, she wasn’t stupid; she

understood every word and every intention behind what Kelsey

said.

But since Reginald had told her to go with Ellsworth, she

couldn’t very well ask Reginald to take her home, so she agreed.

Seeing this, Ellsworth said, “I’ll go get the car.”

Noel had just been sent off to handle other matters, so for now,

Ellsworth had to drive himself.

A momentter.

A ck Maybach pulled up, and Grayson came over to pick up Reginald. Reginald greeted Harriet once more before getting in the car and leaving first.

As Ellsworth’s car slowly came to a stop, Kelsey, beaming, walked over in her high heels, her white dress fluttering in the evening breeze. She opened the back door and smiled at

Harriet. “Hara, get in.”

Kelsey’s initiative was entirely that of a hostess.

Harriet replied in a calm voice, “Thank you, Kelsey.”

Harriet bent down and got into the car. With a bang, Kelsey

closed the door, then opened the front passenger door and sat

down with an air of confidence.

In the back seat, Harriet nced at Kelsey indifferently, then

withdrew her gaze.

She must be very used to sitting in Ellsworth’s front passenger

seat.

That seat was reserved for her by Ellsworth, and he had even

locked the door for her before.

Thinking of this, Harriet silently took out her phone from her

bag and opened an app to read the news.

In the driver’s seat, Ellsworth nced at Harriet in the rearview

mirror. Seeing herpletely unconcerned with her

surroundings, absorbed in her phone as if she were just taking

a taxi.

Once Kelsey had fastened her seatbelt, Ellsworth started the

car.

At this moment, Kelsey turned around, her face full of smiles,

and called out, “Hara.”

Hearing Kelsey call her, Harriet looked up calmly and met her

gaze withposure. “What is it?”

Kelsey asked, “Hara, do you think there’s a good chance

Reginald will work with us? He seemed to get along well with

Ells today.”

Harriet replied in a t tone, “I’ve only just joined Gxy

Innovations, so I’m not very familiar with either thepany or

Reginald. I can’t really analyze that question.”

Listening to Harriet, Kelsey said, “I feel like Reginald really likes you. Even though you just joined Gxy Innovations, and your academic background is…”

At this point, realizing she might have touched a sore spot, Kelsey quickly changed tack. “Anyway, after spending the whole day together, I can tell Reginald really likes you. You’ll definitely have a bright future at Gxy Innovations.”

Every sentence about Reginald liking her-Harriet stared straight

at Kelsey, phone in hand.

Harriet’s expression was serious, making Kelsey feel a bit guilty.

She quickly smiled and exined, “Hara, don’t get me wrong.

When I say Reginald likes you, I mean the way a teacher

appreciates a student, or a boss values an employee.”

In the driver’s seat, Ellsworth gripped the steering wheel with

both hands, ncing at Kelsey with a cold expression.

Even though Kelsey had exined, Harriet still calmly said to -her, “Although my academic background doesn’t meet Gxy

Innovations’ standards, the patents I obtained during my studies are still highly valuable for development. Besides, degrees aren’t a problem for me.”

“I joined Gxy Innovations to create more value for them. It’s only natural that Mr. Barton appreciates me, and I’ll make sure his appreciation is well-deserved.”

Hearing this, Kelsey quickly smiled and echoed, “Of course, of

course. Hara, you’re so smart. In a few years, you’ll catch up

with everyone and even surpass them. I really believe in you,

Hara.”

With both hands on the steering wheel, Ellsworth let out a

chuckle at Harriet’s seriousness. He nced at her in the

rearview mirror and said, “You’re quite proud of yourself, aren’t

you?”

At Ellsworth’s words, Harriet looked at him nonchntly and

replied breezily, “Not bad. After all, Reginald doesn’t just

appreciate anyone.”

…Kelsey.

She felt that Harriet was implying that Reginald didn’t think

much of her.

At this point, Harriet looked calmly at Ellsworth and asked in a mild tone, “Ellsworth, with a wife like me, don’t you feel proud.

when Mr. Barton praises me?”

Still gripping the steering wheel, Ellsworth nced at Harriet in the rearview mirror again. Seeing her indifferent expression and her determination to argue to the end, he couldn’t help but

smile.
