Chapter 82: A Little Care
"To be honest, my mom is really experienced in sales," Jessie said, her eyes filled with admiration for Laura at that time.
However, now that Laura had gone for the wrong person and ended up with such a life, Jessie felt deeply sorry for her.
"Given her abilities, there’s no question that she could find a company in the future, work in sales, and even become a sales manager," Kevin nodded.
He had talked with Laura a few times before; she spoke in a very logical way, so his conversations with her were usually quite pleasant.
"Yeah, but it’s not that easy. She hasn’t worked for years and has been just a housewife. She closed her shop for Uncle William, telling her previous clients she was getting married and quitting. She then married him, thinking she would have a happy life. But what happened instead? A hot mess; a shipwreck, even. Uncle William used my mom’s money from selling her shop to get close with his manager—now, he’s a small boss himself with an office and a secretary. Perhaps that’s why he feels more capable now and has started acting up, treating my mom badly."
"So what about your stepdad?" Kevin asked further.
He was curious to know where William worked so he could arrange for someone to give him a good ’care treatment.’
Jessie didn’t think too much and directly answered, curious, "Why? Do you know anyone from his company?"
He shook his head. "Not really, just happened to hear about it..."
Despite having no impression of the small company William worked in, he only needed to ask Adam to get all the information if he was curious.
