Logan spent the whole night at the hospital with Harper. Upon receiving a call from Leo in the morning, his expression soured noticeably. “Entrance exam?”

“The university office called and mentioned Mrs. Robinson’s name on the entrance exam list. They wanted to confirm if she had consulted you about it.”

Logan clearly remembered Layla accompanying Keena shopping last night. He pondered when Layla could have the time to register for the exam. “Okay, he replied before hanging up. His frown deepened, and he wondered about Layla’s motives.

“Mr. Robinson, was that the call from the university? If so, I should get back to class, Harper said as she roused from her sleep in the hospital bed.

Tve already asked Leo to notify the university. You’re staying here today. Besides, the contents of the call aren’t relevant to

you

Then, what was it about!” She regarded him with confusion. To her knowledge, she was the only student under his sponsorship.

“It’s regarding Layla,” he said while rubbing his temples. “I must return now. You stay here and rest.“.

Harper nodded obediently. After he left, she murmured. “Layla? What’s with her and the university?”

Meanwhile, Layla was leisurely wandering around Athena University. As Logan’s spouse, she received a guided tour from the dean and vice dean. They showed her the campus facilities and scenic spots.

She already possessed natural beauty, but she appeared even more youthful and vibrant that day with her hair tied into a ponytail. The other students passing by couldn’t help but glance at her and wonder about her identity.

At that moment, Logan’s car pulled up outside the university entrance.

Amy Rogers noticed the car and thought it looked familiar. “Isn’t that Harper’s boyfriend’s car?” She had seen it multiple times before, as it always dropped off and picked up Harper.

“Yeah. I saw her get into that car last night.” Crystal Spencer was puzzled and said, “Didn’t she say her boyfriend was taking her to the hospital? How is she back so soon!”

Their curiosity deepened as they observed Logan getting out of the car alone.

With his imposing presence and height of six feet two inches, he exuded an air of unapproachable nobility.

The university dean and vice dean escorted Layla to the entrance just when Logan arrived. She didn’t plan to hide anything from him. Given his connection to the school, she knew he would inevitably find out about her registration

Seeing the dean and vice dean were both present, Logan pulled her aside and said coldly, “Come with me.”

To bystanders, their interaction seemed very intimate.

“Oh my God! Isn’t that Harper’s boyfriend? But who is she?”

“She’s so pretty. I’ve never seen her around before.”

Crystal swiftly captured a photo with her phone and forwarded it to Harper. ‘Hey, look at these. Isn’t this your boyfriend?”

Harper, who was in the hospital, received the message. When she saw the photo of Logan and Layla, she sat up straight in bed. She pondered, Why is she suddenly at the university

Harper, you should ask your boyfriend what’s going on. Something doesn’t feel right about them, Crystal urged.

Harper bit her lip. Driven by vanity, she had lied to her roommate and claimed that he was her boyfriend. She contemplated, If this lie is exposed, how could I ever face them and share a dormitory with them? I’d be a target for ridicule.

After some deliberation, she replied, I know. Don’t worry about it. I trust him” With that, she threw off the bed covers and

called out to the nurse. “Excuse me. I’d like to be discharged now.”

Outside Athena University, Logan pulled Layla into his car. “Explain yourself, he demanded.

She said truthfully. I want to enroll in the university to study finance.”

“I won’t allow it.”

“Who are you to stop

me?” she challenged

“Because I’m your husband!” Logan’s voice grew colder. “Layla, don’t think I don’t know your intentions.

“What are you talking about!”

“Harper attends this university. You’re only going to stir up trouble,” he accused.

“I’m not as penty as you think.”

“I can overlook it when you copied Harper’s style, but this crosses a line. I told you before that your position as my wife is secure,” he affirmed.

“Really? If I weren’t a Kennedy, would you still have married me?” Layla looked at Logan coldly.

He was momentarily speechless.

Deep down, they both knew the answer to that question. If a more suitable candidate for the role of “Mrs. Robinson” emerged, he wouldn’t hesitate to divorce her.

“This university isn’t a place you can just waltz into. Don’t assume your status as my wife exempts you from the entrance exam. I won’t help you.”

“Til earn my place on my own merits. I don’t need your help.” Layla said

“You?” He scoffed derisively. “Do you think Athena University is that easy to get into? Don’t waste your time. Give up.”

Thanks for the advice. Goodbye.” She got out of the car without hesitation.

Her indifferent attitude left Logan in a foul mood. Then, he quickly dialed Leo’s number. “Inform the admissions office not to give Layla any special treatment due to her status. She has to pass the entrance exams just like everyone else,” he stated firmly.

Leo was surprised by Logan’s tone and thought to himself, Looks like he is in à bad mood, probably because of Mrs. Robinson.

Around noon, Harper returned to her dormitory and saw her roommates waiting for her.

“Harper, you’re finally back! Crystal exclaimed and jumped off her bed. “We saw that woman getting out of your boyfriend’s car today. They were in there together for quite a while.”

“Yeah,” Amy chimed in. “Crystal and I both saw it. Who is she? Did you ask your boyfriend about it? What did he say?”

Seeing her roommates curious expressions, Harper lowered her head. “That woman. She likes my boyfriend, but he doesn’t feel the same. That’s why she keeps bothering him. Today, she came to the university to cause trouble, so he came to set things straight with her. That’s what you saw earlier.”

“Oh. I see. Amy nodded.

Crystal said angrily, “I knew something was off about her. She looks like such a vixen who tried to steal someone else’s boyfriend. How shameless!”

“She is pretty, though, Amy remarked. “Harper, you need to be careful. What if she tries to steal your boyfriend?”

“No way.” Crystal said confidently. “Harper’s boyfriend loves her too much to be swayed by someone like that.”

“Thanks for worrying about me. But trust me, my boyfriend and I are doing great,” Harper assured them with a smile.

Amy added. “By the way. I heard she is planning to enroll here to study finance. I bet she’s doing it to stay close to Harper” “What?” Harper was shocked. She was in disbelief that Layla was enrolling in the university to study finance.

“It’s true.” Amy said. “I asked a friend in the admissions office. That woman showed up with the dean and the vice dean, and she looked like she came from a very wealthy family. She’s probably trying to pull some strings to get in.”

Crystal looked puzzled. Our campus has plenty of wealthy kids. Do you know who she is?”
