Juliana's attitude displeased Grandma Aubree, who was standing by, "You should have been more polite in asking your brother for help. Arguing in front of him won't make me inclined to help you if I were him."
Juliana replied, "Mom, they are family. What's the problem with helping Dave? He has always respected them since he was young. Is it too difficult to lend a hand?"
Molly remained silent throughout, fearing that if she spoke up, she would end up arguing with Juliana.
Finally, it was Coleen who spoke, saying, "I understand your point. Since I am Dave's elder, I will look into this matter. You can go now."
Juliana sarcastically remarked, "Can't you handle it today? With such a large company, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange something like a managerial position for Dave, right? And you want us to leave."
Coleen replied, "There are currently no suitable positions for Dave in the company."
To be honest, Mr. Kendrick also found it difficult to arrange a job for his nephew. If his nephew truly had the ability, helping him would be a simple task. However, his character made him skeptical, and perhaps he would even cause trouble in the future.
Juliana expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "You can arrange for your own son to become a captain at the police station, but you can't find a job for your nephew? Is there such a big difference between your son and your nephew?"
Whenever someone criticized Chad, Molly couldn't help but speak up. "My brother got in on his own merits, and he got promoted based on his own abilities. If your son is capable, he can take the exams and prove himself. Don't baselessly blame my brother. Be careful, or I will report you!"
Mr. Kendrick also confirmed his daughter's words, saying, "Chad has never given his mother and me any reason to worry. He earned his job and career through his own hard work."
"Oh, are you saying my son is incompetent?" Juliana asked.
Coleen and Mr. Kendrick looked at their unresponsive nephew and sighed, realizing that the difference between people lay in their ambitions.
Coleen asked her nephew, "Dave, what kind of job do you want?"
"Anything will do." Dave said.
Coleen didn’t say a word.
Mr. Kendrick asked him, "What are your plans for the future, then?"
Dave said, "I'll listen to my mom."
Now Mr. Kendrick had nothing to say either.
Chad was his brother, several years older than Dave. He spoke up, "You just graduated, so you might feel a bit lost. Spend some time gaining experience in the real world, figure out your goals, and make a plan. When you need help from the family, we will be there for you. Right now, you're not clear about anything, and we don't know how to help you."
Mr. Kendrick agreed with his son's words, "Your brother is right. Having resources within the family can give you opportunities, but you need to first know what you want to do."
"I want money." Dave said.
Coleen asked, "Where do you want to work?"
Dave answered, "Anywhere."
Juliana hastily made a choice for her son, "Havenbrook will do."
Coleen said, "You can go back for now. If there's a suitable job, I will contact you."
Upon hearing Coleen's words, Juliana thought she was being dismissed, that Coleen didn't want to help arrange a job for her son.
"Can't you talk about it today? You know so many people, yet you can't find a job?" Coleen asked angrily, her voice filled with rage.
