Chapter 145

Henry was the head of the Reyes family and also Rex's father. It's not just Clara who's responsible for Rex's good looks.

Even though Henry was already in his forties, he still radiated a sophisticated and mature aura.

"Elia, here's the jewelry company I promised to give you earlier Henry handed over a clear file bag containing documents to change the person in charge, along with the company's various seals and financial records, giving them all to her. Ophelia almost forgot this was even a thing. "Thanks." She took it, and since there was nothing else, she intended to leave.

"Aren't you going to open it and check the company's financial status? Aren't you worried I'm giving you an empty shell?" Henry joked in a relaxed, fatherly tone.

She wasn't worried about that. She trusted Henry, and with Kenneth supporting her, the Reyes family wouldn't do anything sneaky over something so minor.

But it was a different story with the Huxley family. They made big promises at the family meeting, but now it's all quiet.

Henry said, "Oh, by the way, there's a political and business banquet in Dellanex on the 5th. If you're free, feel free to join. I'll have Clara send you an e-invitation later. And in the future, if you have any business issues, don't hesitate to ask." "Alright, thanks in advance." Before leaving, Ophelia looked back at Theo.

Theo said, "Jackson, come and play chess with me!"

Jackson refused and said, "Never mind, I'm just a researcher, and I don't know how to play chess. Howard, you keep Grandpa company."

"Let Rex do it!" Howard shrugged off.

Just as Rex was about to sit down opposite, Theo, with a disdainful look, said, "Go away! You terrible chess player, I'm not playing with you!" The family's lively atmosphere was very harmonious.

After leaving Carnegie Villa, Ophelia planned to go borrow Wyatt from Chloe.
