Chapter 284



.

He had to admit that what Mark had just said was fair.

“So, what’s this all about?”.

“The biggest problem between Mr. Harrison and Joseph really isn’t you. Watching Joseph grow up, Mr. Harrison has always known that Joseph is a cold person, he’s cold to both his family and his friends, and even to his son….”

“What do you mean?”

“You will have seen how Joseph spoils little Noah. But in Noah’s first year of life, Joseph didn’t even take a step in the house. In his eyes, Noah was a requirement that Mr. Harrison assigned to him. And when he completed that requirement, Noah became nothing to him.”

Hayden frowned as Mark spoke to her. She knew about all the things Mark had just said, she had even judged Joseph worse. But somehow those comments were so harsh coming out of someone else’s mouth.

“Joseph is not the kind of person you think, he’s good to Noah and Stella too. He’s wrong about him.”

“Noah may be an accident in Joseph’s life.” Patiently, Mark tried to explain, “Joseph had been neglecting Noah until three years ago. Noah wouldn’t know what his father looks like if it weren’t for the accident.”

“Three years ago?”

Hayden sensed something familiar.

“When Noah nearly died from that disease.” Mark continued, “When the ST Group was planning to replace their CEO. On some level, these two things are connected, even if they seem irrelevant to others, I think he deserves to be aware of this.”

Hayden took another sip of coffee to mask his emotions. He forgot to put sugar in it, so it tasted a little bitter.

Whatever Mark said, Hayden took it as a review of Benjamin’s research. She’s not surprised by the outcome, but the number of people who were informed with the accident, was higher than she thought.

Even Mr. Harrison knew that. But, still, he gave Joseph what he wanted, and it had not occurred to anyone to do Noah justice.

Was it the coddling of the last three years to make it up to Noah?

But Noah is only a five-year-old boy. The innocence he lost was far more valuable than all those material things.

Melancholy and apathy invaded Hayden.

“So, Mark, why are you telling me all this?”.
