"Even ordinary families these days are competing over their children's education, so what about us? When Helen's in-laws discovered that their grandchild had to drop out and switch to a worse school because of her and that she had offended Miranda, they constantly gave her a hard time." Meredith sighed. "I was unaware as well until I overheard it at a business gathering once. Her father-in-law was planning to have her and her husband divorce so he could find a more capable wife." Cecilia never expected that such a minor issue would lead Helen's in-laws to pressure her for a divorce.

She slightly furrowed her brows. "This is way too much

"Exactly, they must have been fed up with Helen for a while now and are just looking for an excuse. Ceci, I think you should stay out of this. After all, it's their family matter."

Cecilia knew that when it came to Helen's in-laws, she couldn't be of any

help.

"I was wondering if we could find a good elementary school for Terry."

Many parents had already begun securing school placements for their children, largely through leveraging connections.

Those elementary schools had a limit on the number of admissions, and even imposed restrictions based on one's social status. It was not a place where just anyone could get in.

"That could work." Meredith then shared a list of top-tier schools with Cecilia. "But we might need your husband's help. These schools are typically out of reach for even the wealthiest families." Cecilia nodded. "Okay."

A pang of hesitation hit her as she contemplated seeking out Nathaniel.

Despite having always refused to spend time with him, she now found herself needing his help.

Once they returned to the private room, they tacitly avoided mentioning what they had just discussed. The

group shared a meal together and strolled around the streets before they all dispersed to head home.

Upon arriving home, Cecilia began to delve into the admission requirements of those prestigious elementary schools.

After browsing online, she realized that the children who attended the schools were either geniuses or came from incredibly wealthy and influential families. Cecilia called the admissions office of the school, and they responded that she would need a letter of recommendation to be considered for an interview. "An interview?"

The man glanced at her computer screen and said, "The schools for Jon and Eli have already been sorted out. They'll be together." Cecilia was startled by his voice.

It took her a moment to gather her thoughts before she explained, "Oh, I was just browsing."

Nathaniel cast his gaze onto the small notebook she had written in, which was densely filled with reminders and notes.

It didn't seem as if she was just browsing.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?" he asked.

After locking eyes with him for what seemed like an eternity, Cecilia finally decided to ask him for help.

"I have a friend, and I'd like to help her child get into a good school too. Is that possible?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but chuckle. "Is that all? Which school does your friend's child want to attend?"

"Hmm... the same one as Jon and Eli."

Without much thought, Nathaniel agreed, "All right, send me your friend's details."

"That's it?" Cecilia was somewhat baffled.

"Mm-hmm."

Money indeed made things easier. In less than half an hour, Nathaniel managed to secure two recommendation letters.

"Out of worry, I got an extra one for you. Later on, you can have your friend take this recommendation letter to the school."
