Chapter: 2403

"What does this mean?" Wendell noticed the cufflinks Aimee had taken out, interpreting her action as a deliberate reminder of his past relationship with Averie, mocking him. His face darkened suddenly, his tone turning unpleasant.

Aimee remained silent, acting instead. She secured the lady's cufflink onto her own sleeve, then met Wendell's gaze.

"If we aim to dispel these rumors, we need to orchestrate a convincing display. These cufflinks have been taken as evidence of a romantic entanglement between you and Averie. If we intend to demonstrate that your connection with Averie is not as it appears in the photos, then these cufflinks should be in our possession."

Wendell's gaze lingered on the cufflinks, feeling a bit overwhelmed, yet he didn't argue. After a moment of quiet contemplation, he extended his hand. "Put it on me."

Aimee's eyes dropped, and she remained silent. She unfastened the gentleman's cufflink and placed it on Wendell's cuff.
