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...
