Wendy spotted Sienna sitting on the couch laughing and cali sing astir clearly having a great time
Siennasmiledand said,”Stanley,Jessica,whileeveryone’sinsuchagoodmood,letmetellyouallajoke.”
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 Clave n dale 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 Clave n dale University
The room erupted in laughter
Bennywasthefirsttolaughoutloud.”Atfirst,Ididn’tunderstandwhyStanleysentWendyto ClavendaleUniversity.Now,Igetit.Stanleysentherheretoentertainus!Everyday,anewjoke!Hahaha.”
Everyone joined in laughing at Wendy Jessica in particular was the happiest her eyes gleaming with smugness

Stanley stood up his expression darker than before and walked toward the exit
Jessica blinked in surprise Stanley where are you going

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 swords earlier

With a hint of sarcasm Cyril muttered under his breath Why don t you do something about her
Stanley’sface darkenedfurther.”She’syourstudent.It’syourresponsibility!”
Cyril,unfazed,shot back,”Well,she’syourwife.Shouldn’tyoubetheonehandlingit?”
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
