Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 329

Hearing this, Liliana’s frustration only grew, her composed demeanor giving way to a more fierce, commanding presence.

"Amara, you're quite the charmer, aren't you? You've barely been in the group and already have everyone singing your praises."

"Oh, please. When it comes to winning people over, you're the real pro. You've always been a master at it," Amara shot back coolly.

For a moment, Liliana was at a loss for words. Amara glanced at her, then continued, "I just don't get it. Why are you so fixated on me?"

"Finnian and I have been divorced for ages. We have nothing to do with each other, yet you keep coming after me. Is it because you’re insecure about Finnian’s feelings for you?"

That hit Liliana where it hurt. Normally, such words wouldn’t rile her up, but knowing now that Finnian genuinely liked Amara, she couldn't help but feel Amara was gloating.

In truth, Amara hadn’t thought that far ahead. She figured Finnian might care a bit about her, but he obviously preferred Liliana. Otherwise, why would he have been with Liliana and even had a child with her?

Amara was just exasperated by Liliana's constant provocations, which led her to lash out sarcastically.

Seeing Liliana’s expression falter, clearly affected by her words, Amara felt a sense of satisfaction.

She turned on her heel and went back to her dressing room. Checking her phone, she saw a flood of online messages criticizing her, her brow furrowing as she read.

Amara turned off her phone, pondering. This had to be Finnian’s doing. Not many could deactivate Emma’s account, and the Everly Group making a statement meant the family knew about the situation.

She hesitated, considering whether she should thank Finnian, but recalling Liliana's earlier tirade, she quickly dismissed the idea.

It was better to keep her distance from Finnian; otherwise, Liliana would only come after her again.

But while Amara decided to steer clear of Finnian, he had other plans. He showed up at her dressing room, unannounced.
