Chapter 130
“Of course! Didn’t you see that Professor Lincoln himself came out to greet her?”
Everyone looked at Trish with a mix of admiration and envy
Trish had arrived with Cyril, holding her head high, her chi tilted in a way that made her resemble a proud peacock. The confidence and pride radiating from her made her seem almost untouchable, and her presence was dazzling.
As Trish and Cyril stopped, Trish’s gaze first landed on Wendy. She looked her over with obvious disdain before shifting her focus to Stanley.
“Mr. Hawk, Wendy dropped out of school at 16. I’ve even heard she sleeps through Professor Lincoln’s classes. What exactly makes her deserving of a spot at Clavendale University?”
Sienna saw her opportunity and eagerly nodded in agreement. “Exactly!”
Stanley’s face, always so composed and dignified, betrayed no sign of emotion. He glanced at Wendy before answering, “She will focus on her studies here.”
Sienna opened her mouth to speak again. She’d heard that Wendy only got into Clavendale University because Stanley personally asked Cyril on her behalf. Stanley had never made such a request for anyone–Wendy was the only exception. She couldn’t fathom why he thought she deserved such treatment.
But before she could say anything, Cyril interrupted, his voice calm but firm. “Alright, everyone. Enough arguing. I trust Wendy will take her studies seriously from now on.”
Cyril obviously had to step in for his nephew. Hearing that, Sienna stopped speaking.
Cyril’s tone shifted as he excitedly announced some big news. “I have something important to tell you all–Dr. Ceylan is coming!”
Dr. Ceylan was coming?
Stanley’s expression shifted ever so slightly. He and Dr. Ceylan had missed each other twice already, and now, the famous doctor was coming to Clavendale University?
Sienna, who idolized Dr. Ceylan, leaned forward eagerly. “Professor Lincoln, is this true?”
Trish smiled knowingly. “Of course, it’s true. Dr. Ceylan is coming to hold a lecture at Clavendale University. We’ll finally get to meet Dr. Ceylan in person.”
Dr. Ceylan had always been a mysterious figure and had disappeared for three years. Very few people had ever met the legendary doctor face–to–face.
Sienna was now even more excited and asked, “Professor Lincoln, are you Dr. Ceylan’s apprentice?”
Cyril, lost in thought for a moment, began to recount his story. “Years ago, a rare plague broke out in Condoria. The World Health Organization sent me to the front lines to research a vaccine. There was a medical equation that troubled me, something I couldn’t solve no matter what I tried. One day, I was feeling frustrated and went out for a walk. When I returned, the equation was solved–it was Dr. Ceylan who had solved it.”
He paused, smiling at the memory. “I didn’t even know Dr. Ceylan was there at the time. When I went out to find them, they had already left. But I managed to get their contact information from the staff who accomp
I texted them and was fortunate enough to become their apprentice.”

Suddenly struck by a thought, Sienna spoke up. “Trish, if Professor Lincoln is Dr. Ceylan’s apprentice, and you’re his apprentice, then what’s your connection to Dr. Ceylan?
Trish opened her mouth to respond, but a soft, melodic voice interrupted before she could. “She’s Dr. Ceylan’s grand–apprentice.”
Trish froze. She looked up at Wendy, who had suddenly spoken.
Wendy stood there, calm and composed, her bright eyes sparkling with a playful smile as she looked at Trish. She added, “The moment Dr. Ceylan arrives, you should greet them respectfully.”
