The Cutting Gazette

A little sound makes the scandal better. Try the music box or the bell.

“I'd be willing to wager your wife says differently.”

Will MondrichSimon BassetS1 · E8 · 00:25:51

What it sounds like

Simon’s wife might see the situation differently.

What it really means

“You’re judging my marriage while neglecting your own; Daphne likely has reasons to disagree with you, too.”

Said today

“Before you lecture me about my marriage, ask your wife what she thinks about yours.”

What was happening

Simon asks whether Alice will understand Will’s deception. Will turns the accusation back on him, implying Daphne would disagree with Simon’s view of his own marriage. His pointed wager makes the reply sound cuttingly confident.
