Wendy spotted Sienna sitting on the couch, laughing and calising a stir, clearly having a great time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna smiled and said, \u201cStanley, Jessica, while everyone\u2019s in such a good mood, let me tell you all a joke.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica\u2019s curiosity was piqued, and she asked, \u201cWhat joke?!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna grinned mischievously, \u201cIt\u2019s about Wendy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Standing just outside, Wendy felt a sudden rush of discomfort. It wasn\u2019t exactly the best time for her to be pulled into their fun, especially when Stanley and Jessica were so happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been thinking earlier that she didn\u2019t belong in their world, but now, it seemed someone was determined to drag her into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna continued, \u201cToday\u2019s Wendy\u2019s first day at Clavendale University, and she\u2019s already made a name for herself!\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny looked at her with contempt. \u201cSeriously? Someone like her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna chuckled. \u201cOh, yeah. She\u2019s the \u2018God of Sleep\u2018. She slept through the entire day at Clavendale University!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room erupted in laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny was the first to laugh out loud. \u201cAt first, I didn\u2019t understand why Stanley sent Wendy to Clavendale University. Now, I get it. Stanley sent her here to entertain us! Every day, a new joke! Hahaha.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone joined in, laughing at Wendy. Jessica, in particular, was the happiest, her eyes gleaming with smugness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy couldn\u2019t help but feel a pang of frustration. Well, if they were happy, so be it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the luxurious room, Stanley didn\u2019t laugh. Jessica\u2019s playful antics had slightly amused him, but hearing the \u201d joke\u201d about Wendy made his handsome face harden with sudden coldness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His hand, which had been casually resting on Jessica\u2019s chair, retracted quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, with a sharp instinct, he turned his head, his dark, icy gaze sweeping over to the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But there was no one there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy and Halsey had already left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley stood up, his expression darker than before, and walked toward the exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica blinked in surprise. \u201cStanley, where are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley replied coldly, \u201cI\u2019m going to the bathroom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After entering a luxurious lounge, Stanley pulled out his phone and dialed a number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The phone rang, and Cyril\u2019s voice came through. \u201cHey, Stanley.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, standing tall by the floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling windows, pressed his lips together. \u201cUncle Cyril, how was Wendy\u2019s performance on her first day at school?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He actually called Cyril directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cyril hesitated before answering, \u201cNot great. She spent the entire day sleeping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 116\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 BONUS\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s sharp, aristocratic brow furrowed. \u201cI sent her to school to study, not to nap! Uncle Cyril, why didn\u2019t you do something about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cyril remembered Wendy\u2019s words earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re Cyril Lincoln? Alright, go ahead and give your lecture.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a hint of sarcasm, Cyril muttered under his breath, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you do something about her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s face darkened further. \u201cShe\u2019s your student. It\u2019s your responsibility!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cyril, unfazed, shot back, \u201cWell, she\u2019s your wife. Shouldn\u2019t you be the one handling it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, frustrated, ended the call abruptly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in his study, Cyril stood quietly, listening to the dial tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnbelievable! How can these two be so disrespectful?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He thought about Wendy again. He wasn\u2019t scared of her\u2013after all, he was her professor. Tomorrow, he was going to deal with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Cyril\u2019s phone pinged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He opened it to find a message from his most respected mentor, Dr. Ceylan. Yesterday, Dr. Ceylan had thoroughly reviewed and annotated his surgical plan with red ink.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cyril\u2019s eyes sparkled as he glanced over it, unable to contain his admiration. \u201cMy mentor truly is amazing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With great respect, Cyril quickly recorded a voice message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Dr. Ceylan.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
