Chapter 1064 My Turn To Take Care Of You
Liam looked at her. “Didn't you promise? Not only will you take care of Kenneth, but also the entire Hamilton family. You personally assured me that night!”
Natasha still had some doubts. “I did promise you, but I don't understand what you mean...”
Liam went straight to the point. “Kenneth has dedicated people to take care of him. You don't need to do anything. But as for the company, someone has to manage it. My health isn't good now. I can't handle it, so I can only entrust it to you.”
Natasha looked at him. Her fair face showed a hint of surprise.
Seeing her silence, Liam asked, “What's the matter? Don't you want to?”
“Are you sure... Are you comfortable entrusting such a large corporation to me?” Natasha asked.
“If my memory serves me right, you also studied management!” Liam said as he looked at her.
Natasha did not deny it. She nodded. “Yes, but for all these years, I haven't done any work related to this!”
“No worries. As long as the fundamentals are there, you won't be too far off!”
“But...”
“The structure and processes of the company are already in place with no significant need for changes. The only key area is project decision-making. As long as we handle this well, there will be no issues!”
“Old Mr. Hamilton, I truly believe you should hire a professional for this task!” Natasha sincerely suggested.
“Of course, there are professionals, and you'll have assistance when you go there. But we also need our own people. Otherwise, the company will eventually be hollowed out by those with ulterior motives. Kenneth has put in a lot of effort for the company. Do you really want to see his hard work go down the drain?”
Natasha fell silent.
“The Hamilton family has always been small in number. Our family only started to expand at the third generation. But Anthony and the others are still too young to take on responsibilities. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to trouble you with this!”
“Old Mr. Hamilton, it's not that it's troublesome. It's just... I'm afraid I might not do well!” Natasha said.
“I trust my own judgment!” declared Liam as he emphasized each word.
Natasha had never been one to belittle herself. Since Liam had said so, she had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, she did not want Kenneth's hard work to go down the drain.
With those thoughts in mind, she looked at Liam and nodded slightly. “All right. Since you've put it that way, I'll give it a try!”
“Good. You can start by going through these documents. Get yourself prepared the next couple of days, and then head straight to the company the day after tomorrow!” said Liam.
Natasha nodded. “Okay.”
Liam looked at Natasha and added, “There's one more thing. Anthony, Benjamin, and Denise are all at the age of learning. It's time for them to focus on their studies!”
Natasha nodded. “I understand.”
“There's nothing else. You can get back to your work.” With that, Liam, leaning on his cane, was about to get up. Seeing this, Dan hurriedly went to assist him.
Upon seeing the situation, Natasha immediately stood up and intended to lend a helping hand.
Liam waved her away before turning to Dan. “Bring me back to my room!”
Upon seeing the situation, Dan immediately suggested, “Old Mr. Hamilton, the weather is nice today. How about we go out for some fresh air?”
“No. I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep,” said Liam softly.
Dan knew well that it was just an excuse. However, he could not say anything. He simply nodded and followed Liam upstairs.
Natasha watched the old man's retreating figure and felt an indescribable sorrow in her heart...
Drawing her gaze away, Natasha looked at the pile of documents with a thoughtful expression.
“What's wrong? Are you afraid you can't handle it?” At that moment, Terence walked in from outside.
Natasha looked up. Upon seeing him, she softly called out, “Grandpa.”
Terence gestured for her to sit down, then walked over to the pile of documents. He also took a seat across from her.
Looking at Natasha's worried expression, he asked softly, “What's wrong? Are you worried you won't do well?”
Natasha nodded. “I've never done this before. I'm afraid I can't manage the Hamilton family's assets,” she admitted honestly.
Terence laughed when he heard her confession. “This is the first time I've seen you lacking confidence like this.”
Natasha lowered her gaze. “That's because I've always been doing what I'm good at.”
Terence looked at her and pondered for a moment before asking, “Nat, do you know why Liam is doing this?” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Why?”
“He's worried that you might overthink things!” Terence said.
Natasha immediately caught on. She looked at him. “Are you saying...”
“By now, Hamilton Corporation has already established itself. They have dedicated personnel managing every process. These won't undergo significant changes just because someone suddenly isn't around. Liam is doing this for two reasons. First, he's afraid you might overthink and wants to give you some tasks to keep you occupied. Secondly, it is true that there might be some ambitious individuals with wolfish intentions who would seize the opportunity to stir up trouble. But as long as there are still people from the Hamilton family around, they won't dare to act rashly!” Terence explained.
Upon hearing his words, Natasha stared blankly at her grandfather.
It was only at that moment that she realized there was such a deeper meaning.
So, behind Old Mr. Hamilton's seemingly stern demeanor, he's still thinking for me...
At that moment, Terence looked at her and continued, “Nat, the Hamilton family's household is not complicated, but the company's affairs are quite complex. How should I put it? Any company will have its fair share of issues. That's inevitable. So, you need to think it through. Are you going to shoulder this burden or not?”
“Grandpa, what's your advice?”
“I just hope that you can be happy in the latter part of your life and do what you want to do. If you really don't want to, I can also talk to Liam on your behalf!” Terence said to her.
He was certainly willing to shoulder all responsibilities if Natasha was unwilling.
However, Natasha looked at him and smiled slightly. “Grandpa, I'm all grown up now. How can I let you step in for me?”
“You are my most cherished one. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to.”
Looking at the person in front of her, Natasha was deeply moved. Her grandfather had filled the void in her life where familial love was missing.
Even though she lost her parents at a young age, Terence never once made her feel that she was lacking anything.
He had been her pillar of support since her childhood. Now, it was her turn to return the favor.
Natasha looked at him and said, “Grandpa, you don't have to bear everything for me. I've grown up now. It's time for me to take care of you.”
Listening to his granddaughter's words, Terence softly said, “In my eyes, you will always be a child. Whatever burdens you have, I will always carry them for you!”
Natasha did not say a word. She stood up and walked straight toward her grandfather. Sitting down next to him, she reached out and held his arm.
“Grandpa, thank you.”
“Silly girl!” Terence looked at her.
“I've made up my mind too. I'm going to do it. Since Old Mr. Hamilton treats me as a member of the Hamilton family and trusts me, I won't let him down,” Natasha said to Terence, emphasizing each word.
