Logan hadn't said a word since they left the kindergarten.
He simply couldn't figure out why they hadn't gone through an interview.
When Miranda was speaking just now, the look in his eyes had turned cold. His cat-like eyes were slightly downcast, his long eyelashes hiding the chilly look in them.
He was about to say something when Cherry's childish tender voice rang out. At once, the corners of Logan's lips curled upward.
When he saw Miranda's smug smile freeze, he felt even happier.
At her question, Logan raised his good-looking and delicate eyebrows and replied, "We didn't go through an interview."
"You didn't?" Miranda quickly reacted and said, "It must be because the recommendation letter you got from someone else didn't work, right? Well, that makes sense. After all, where is your cousin going to get a recommendation letter from when even the Andersons can't get an interview spot?"
She turned around, took out a piece of paper from her bag, and handed it to Melissa with one hand. "Here you go, this is the Woods' recommendation letter. Just go to the interview again tomorrow and it'll be fine."
Melissa reached out to take the letter with a look of gratitude. She said, "Miranda, thank yo—"
Before she could touch the recommendation letter, Miranda's grip loosened and the piece of paper dropped onto the floor.
Miranda immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh dear, would you look at that, Melissa! Why did my hand let go in advance? I'll have to trouble you to pick it up."
After speaking, she sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, straightened her back, and looked at Melissa with a huge sense of superiority.
The Woods were a big family. Over the years, thanks to them clinging on to the Smiths, they were starting to do better and better.
Back then, Miranda and Melissa were both members of the wealthy circle. Melissa and Yvette were well-known while Miranda was just an ordinary person looking up to them.
The men she liked back then had all revolved around those two women...
But later on, Yvette eloped and ruined her own reputation.
As for Melissa, she was blind enough to fall in love with a man as incompetent as Simon and had disregarded her family's objections and married him.
On the other hand, Miranda had married Melissa's elder brother and became the mistress of the Woods.
Miranda was very smug about it. What she loved doing most was watching the person who had once been high up in the air, and whom she had needed to look up to, begging her for help.
Melissa stood there, her hand still stretched out.
She clenched her fingers. She knew very well that Miranda had done it on purpose. Her pride also refused to let her bend over. But when she glanced at Nora...
The young woman was cool and distant. Beautiful and gracious, she bore an 80% resemblance to Yvette.
Her eyes, in particular, were exactly the same as Logan's.
However, that young woman had never had a mother. Her father disliked her, her stepmother abused her, and she had even become pregnant before marriage. How could her heart possibly not ache for a young woman like that?
Melissa retracted her gaze and sighed. She was about to squat and pick up the letter when a fair and slender hand held her wrist.
The young woman's voice was cool as she said, "We don't have any use for that recommendation letter."
The seated Miranda was surprised. "Why is that?"
Logan bent over, picked up the recommendation letter on the floor, and flung it right at Miranda's face. With an awful look on his face, he said stiffly, "Aunt Miranda, you can have the recommendation letter back! That woman... I mean Nora's daughter has been accepted without an interview."
Miranda was originally very angry when Logan flung the recommendation letter onto her face, but upon hearing what he said, she exclaimed sharply, "She was exempted from the interview? How can that be?! In all of New York, apart from the Hunts and the Smiths, the number of families eligible for exemption can be counted on one hand! Who did you ask for a recommendation letter?"
Logan also looked at her curiously.
Nora's indifferent gaze swept across Miranda. Then... She let out a big yawn.
Miranda,"..."
After a moment's hesitation, Melissa asked, "Did you ask Justin to give them a heads-up for you?"
Out of all the families that Nora was acquainted with, the only one who she could think of with that sort of capability was Justin Hunt.
