Chapter: 2191

Wendell was taken aback by Kathryn's barrage of questions.

Aimee chimed in, seemingly offhand, “Yes, Wendell. Have you met him? How is he? Miss Ortiz has been so dedicated over the years; it's important to make sure she isn't being misled by the wrong sort of man."

Averie's smile briefly faltered.

Kathryn's words might have seemed casual, but her intent was clear to an astute observer. Wendell, naturally suspicious, favored Averie not only for her constant presence but also for her compliance. Averie's mention of a boyfriend earlier was a strategic move to dispel any suspicions from Aimee and Kathryn, yet she had not briefed Wendell beforehand.
