Chapter 917
Mrs.Cooper thought for a while before replying, "For a few years already.When I started working for the Fosters, I was not even thirty years old yet! I’m already forty-five.I can retire in about five years."
"Mrs.Scarlet has worked there longer than you?"
"Yes! She used to care for Madam Rosalie.Later, when Elliot and Shea were born, she helped take care of them,"
Mrs.Cooper said, "I heard this from Mrs.Scarlet."
"Elliot told me about the incident when he was young," Avery was a little depressed, so she wanted to talk about it with someone.
"I never thought that he would be so depressed when he was young."
"What did he tell you?" Mrs.Cooper said in surprise.
"Hmm, he came clean and told me everything."
Avery looked at Mrs.Cooper.
"So that I won’t misunderstand him again." Mrs.Cooper suddenly choked up.
"Avery, don’t blame him for telling you this only now.It was so hard for him to have his achievements today.God must have pitied him, which cured him of the mental condition he had when he was young.If not, he would have ended up like Shea."
Avery was completely stunned! She heard every word that Mrs.Cooper said, but she did not understand it!
"No, Mr.Foster is different from Shea.Mrs.Scarlet said that when his father was still alive, he valued boys over girls.Although Mr.Foster’s father did not like him, he would not hit him.He would only hit Shea because she was a girl.Shea would cry for a very long time after being hit.Mr.Foster’s father would hate Shea even more."
At that, tears fell from Mrs.Cooper’s eyes.
Avery was shocked.Her eyes widened.
"Elliot had the same condition as Shea when he was young?!"
Mrs.Cooper’s expressions stiffened.
"Didn’t you say that Mr.Foster told you everything? Could it be…"
"He didn’t tell me this!" Avery took a deep breath.
"He said that he killed his father because of Shea…"
"What! Mr.Foster killed his father!?"
When Mrs.Cooper heard this, she was so shocked she almost lost her balance.
Avery immediately took Robert from her and placed him on the bed before helping Mrs.Cooper to a seat by the side.
