We watched them as they walked into the nearest elevator. It was only when Ashton pinched my shoulders that I came back to my senses. He then brought me out of the hospital.
In the car, Emery tried to look for an opportunity to speak again.
“Wasn’t that Cameron’s son? The one who just took over their family business?”
Even though Emery grew up in K City, she was not familiar with the people here. Moreover, Nick had just returned to K City. Hence, even though she was very well-informed, she had difficulty matching people’s faces to their names.
I nodded. “Hmm, he could be considered my brother too.”
“You have quite a lot of family members, don’t you?” Emery grumbled before she went on to change the topic. “But this Nick looks rather decent, and his wife is classy too. One of these days, he will definitely surpass his father’s achievements.”
“That is definitely going to happen.” I had always felt that Nick was very capable as he took charge of the company since he was quite young. After seeing his current state earlier on, that feeling became stronger than ever. “Very few people can manage such a large family business at his age.”
It had been some time since Nick took over the Harrisons. The last time I saw Cameron and Zachary, they did not complain about him, so he must have been doing well.
Emery snorted and pursed her lips. Then, she pointed her chin toward the driver’s seat and said, “Oh look, we have one right here.”
Baffled, I looked in that direction. From my position, all I could see was Ashton’s aloof back view.
Indeed, Ashton was more outstanding than Nick. When he took over Fuller Corporation, he was a lot younger than Nick was. Through the decision of bringing Fuller Corporation to K City, he had proved himself to be a rare business talent.
However, there were good and bad sides to everything. All people saw was that Ashton acquired such a high position and immense wealth at this age, but they did not see his hard work and how he practically lived in the office. There was nothing he could do about it, even when he was going through something as life-changing as procreation.
