Chapter 1988 Before Coming To The End
The situation of Hayes Corporation in Southeast Astoria had finally improved. After Sebastian had left, Solomon stayed back for a month to take care of Ian, who was injured. Solomon had only decided to return to the country when Ian could get down from the bed and walk freely.
“I’ve made all the necessary arrangements. I’ll deploy a few capable and trustworthy employees from Hayes Corporation over. All you need to do is to handle all the important documents. You don’t have to go to the office daily,” Solomon informed Ian before leaving.
Ian nodded. He was grateful to Solomon. “Thanks, Uncle Solomon. Sorry for all the trouble for the past month.” “Don’t mention it. We’re family. Besides, all this happened because of my bad arrangement. I’m relieved to see that you’re fine now,” Solomon said.
He did not want Ian to make such a courteous remark as if he was an outsider. In fact, Solomon spoke to Ian as if he was talking to his own child. That was indeed how Solomon thought of Ian.
Solomon’s eldest son Yoel was only ten years old. In other words, he might only be able to take over the company in another decade or so. Moreover, it was still too early to tell if Yoel had the capability to lead the company.
That was why Solomon hoped this young man could take over his position. After all, they were from the same family. I would be able to take a breather and focus on my family if Ian could take up this responsibility.
Ichika had not been in the pink of health ever since she gave birth to the twins. Fortunately, her mother came over and helped her with the children. Otherwise, she alone would not be able to look after the children.
“Take care of yourself. Once you feel better, I’ll discuss Hayes Corporation’s future with you.” “Sure, Uncle Solomon,” Ian agreed right away.
Soon, Solomon left Southeast Astoria while the young couple stayed back. As they focused on their recovery, they also continued to expand Hayes Corporation’s empire in the region.
Time flew by, and it was already winter.
The elders in the family would always look forward to a family reunion during the winter season. Jonathan, who had not been feeling well in the last half of the year, started mumbling, “When are they coming back this year?”
“We haven’t received news from them yet, Old Mr. Jadeson. But Mr. Sebastian said he would make them return to celebrate Christmas with us since most of them didn’t come back last year,” Mark, who had taken care of Jonathan for most of his life, immediately replied.
Yet, upon hearing that, the elderly man lying in bed started throwing a fit. “How can he promise? He said the same last year, and look what happened? Call them right away to find out if they’re coming back!”
Jonathan was so agitated that his chest heaved heavily.
Mark dared not delay the matter any further and went to look for Sasha.
Sasha said, “I’m not sure when they’re coming back, but I suppose Ian and Susan can’t make it. Ian sustained injuries, and he’s not fully recovered yet, so I don’t think he can take the flight.”
