Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 571

Keith was a living, breathing person with his own dreams. Why should he be tethered to the family business from the moment he was born?

As a screenwriter, she had a thousand ways to shut Edith down, but as Keith’s “fiancée,” she couldn’t say any of them.

Her first step was to get the full story from Keith and understand what was going on before she confronted Edith and Nathan again.

She stood up. “Ms. Winters, I simply can’t agree with your views, and I won’t force you to accept mine. Arguing like this is good for neither of us. Let’s end our conversation here. I’ll be leaving now. Please, enjoy the rest of your day.”

Though Amara’s words were polite, her tone was ice-cold.

After speaking, she stood, gave Edith a slight nod, and walked away, leaving Edith staring in disbelief.

It wasn't until the café door swung shut that Edith finally processed what had happened. When she did, an uncontrollable rage surged within her.

How could the woman Keith found be so disrespectful to her elders?

She hadn't dismissed Amara, yet Amara had left on her own accord. And she had dared to contradict her… It was true what they said—no one from the entertainment industry was any good.

Her eyes flashed with malice. If Keith weren’t so utterly infatuated with this woman, she would never, ever let her into the family!

Just then, Edith received a text from an unsaved number: “Hello, this is Emma. Do you have a moment? I was hoping we could chat.”

Emma was the mother of Finnian, the chairman of the Everly Group, and also the mother of Amara's ex-husband.

Emma found Edith’s reaction odd and was enraged by the slight.

But her gaze fell on the document in front of her—the key to controlling Amara's fate—and her mood brightened again.

Fine, let her reject the call. It wasn't as if she and Edith had any real connection anyway. She would just have to find another way to contact her.

The more Amara thought about the conversation after leaving the café, the angrier she became.

She took out her phone and messaged Keith, asking what he was doing. He replied that he was at an event and sent her a photo.

Although he planned to retire, Keith still had several outstanding contracts. He had to finish his current projects and promotional events before he could officially leave the industry.
