Chapter 116
Wendy spotted Sienna sitting on the couch , laughing and calising a stir , clearly having a great time .
Sienna smiled and said , “ Stanley , Jessica , while everyone’s in such a good mood , let me tell you all a joke . ”
Jessica’s curiosity was piqued , and she asked , “ What joke ?!
Sienna grinned mischievously , “ It’s about Wendy ! ”
Standing just outside , Wendy felt a sudden rush of discomfort . It wasn’t exactly the best time for her to be pulled into their fun , especially when Stanley and Jessica were so happy .
She had been thinking earlier that she didn’t belong in their world , but now , it seemed someone was determined to drag her into it .
Sienna continued , “ Today’s Wendy’s first day at Clavendale University , and she’s already made a name for herself !

Benny looked at her with contempt . “ Seriously ? Someone like her ? ”
Sienna chuckled . “ Oh , yeah . She’s the ‘ God of Sleep ‘. She slept through the entire day at Clavendale University ! ”
The room erupted in laughter .
Benny was the first to laugh out loud . “ At first , I didn’t 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 . ”
Everyone joined in , laughing at Wendy . Jessica , in particular , was the happiest , her eyes gleaming with smugness .
Wendy couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration . Well , if they were happy , so be it .
Inside the luxurious room , Stanley didn’t laugh . Jessica’s playful antics had slightly amused him , but hearing the ” joke ” about Wendy made his handsome face harden with sudden coldness .
His hand , which had been casually resting on Jessica’s chair , retracted quickly .
Then , with a sharp instinct , he turned his head , his dark , icy gaze sweeping over to the door .
But there was no one there .
Wendy and Halsey had already left .
Stanley stood up , his expression darker than before , and walked toward the exit .
Jessica blinked in surprise . “ Stanley , where are you going ? ”
Stanley replied coldly , “ I’m going to the bathroom . ”
After entering a luxurious lounge , Stanley pulled out his phone and dialed a number .
The phone rang , and Cyril’s voice came through . “ Hey , Stanley . ”
Stanley , standing tall by the floor – to – ceiling windows , pressed his lips together . “ Uncle Cyril , how was Wendy’s performance on her first day at school ? ”
He actually called Cyril directly .
Cyril hesitated before answering , “ Not great . She spent the entire day sleeping . ”

Stanley’s sharp , aristocratic brow furrowed . “ I sent her to school to study , not to nap ! Uncle Cyril , why didn’t you do something about it ? ”
Cyril remembered Wendy’s words earlier .
“ You’re Cyril Lincoln ? Alright , go ahead and give your lecture . ”
With a hint of sarcasm , Cyril muttered under his breath , “Why don’t you do something about her ? ”
Stanley’s face darkened further . “ She’s your student . It’s your responsibility ! ”
Cyril , unfazed , shot back , “ Well , she’s your wife . Shouldn’t you be the one handling it ? ”
Stanley , frustrated , ended the call abruptly .
Back in his study , Cyril stood quietly , listening to the dial tone .
“ Unbelievable ! How can these two be so disrespectful ? ”
He thought about Wendy again . He wasn’t scared of her – after all , he was her professor . Tomorrow , he was going to deal with her .
Ding .
At that moment , Cyril’s phone pinged .
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 .
Cyril’s eyes sparkled as he glanced over it , unable to contain his admiration . “ My mentor truly is amazing ! ”
With great respect , Cyril quickly recorded a voice message .
“ Thank you , Dr. Ceylan . ”
