Celine was speechless. Was it a good idea to bring up her name while Adam and Carly were having so much fun? She had just been thinking she didn't belong in their world, but now someone had pulled her in.

Melody said, "Today's her first day at Yorhine University, but she's already become famous."

Benjamin looked judgmental. "Her? Famous?"

Melody replied, "Yeah! She became the 'Goddess of Sleep' on campus. She slept the entire day."

Benjamin laughed. "When Adam decided to enroll her at Yorhine University, I couldn't understand it. Now I finally know why. Adam wants her to be our daily joke!"

Everyone laughed at Celine; Carly laughed the loudest. Celine was speechless outside the door. Whatever.

Inside the luxurious room, Adam neither laughed nor smiled. Carly had made him feel a little something just now, but when they joked about Celine, his face turned cold. He pulled his hands away from Carly's back. At that moment, he sensed something. He turned to look at the door, but it was empty. Celine had already left with Hailey.

Adam stood up and walked over. Carly was stunned. "Adam, where are you going?"

"To the restroom," he replied coldly.

Adam entered a luxurious lounge and took out his phone, dialing a number. When the call connected, James's voice came through: "Hey, Adam."

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Adam pressed his lips into a thin line and asked, "James, how did Celine do on her first day at school?" He went straight to the point.

James responded bluntly, "Not great. She spent the whole day sleeping."

Adam's sharp eyebrows furrowed instantly. "I sent her there to study, not sleep. Why didn't you discipline her?"

James thought back to Celine's casual remarks: "You're James? Alright, you go teach the class." He silently retorted, "Why don't you handle her yourself?"

Adam's face darkened. "She's your student. You're responsible for her."

James countered, "And she's your wife. That makes her your responsibility!"

Adam was speechless and hung up angrily.

James was in his study, immersed in academic research, when the beeping sound of the disconnected call reached his ears. He was speechless. "Unbelievable! How can both husband and wife be so brazenly disrespectful?"

He thought about Celine again. Right, why should he be afraid of her? He was her professor! Tomorrow, he would make sure to put her in her place.

At that moment, James's WhatsApp chimed with a new message. He opened it eagerly and saw a message from the esteemed Dr. C. Attached was the surgery plan he had submitted yesterday, now meticulously reviewed with detailed red-ink annotations. James's eyes lit up with excitement. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing indeed!" With the utmost respect, James recorded a voice message and sent it: "Thank you!"
