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 minutester, the car stopped in front of the office building. When Harriet arrived at thepany, Reginald

had alreadye over from theb.

“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 toe 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 Gxy Innovations. He holds technical shares in thepany, but he never epts dividends, so I had

legal turn them all into shares. That makes Sir Leach a

shareholder too.”

“Normally, except for asionally visiting theb or doing technical work, Sir Leach doesn’t see anyone or get involved in

“A while back when you joined thepany, 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 exnation, Harriet said, “Mr. Barton, Gxy

Innovations is really unfathomable.”

With both hands on the wheel, Reginaldughed and said, “It’s

not that serious. It’s just a group of like-minded peopleing

together.’

After that, as Reginald talked to Harriet about otherpany

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 Ambervillest 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 moreposed 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, apanied by a young, in-

looking girl who was probably also a housekeeper of the Leach

family.

Seeing Reginald arrive, Alvin greeted him with a heartyugh,

“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 theb.”
