Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 582

Amara was certain that starring in "Letters from Yesterday" would rekindle Keith's passion for acting, and her mood lifted considerably.

That evening, she received news that Keith had officially signed the contract with Mr. Frost. Production for "Letters from Yesterday" would begin in a month, with Keith in the lead role.

The news blew up on Twitter, and Amara read the announcements with a sense of satisfaction. A man like Keith belonged on a stage.

But the decision wasn't without its downsides. The next day, Amara received a call from Edith, demanding a meeting.

Amara had anticipated this and wasn't surprised. She got ready and headed to the coffee shop Edith had chosen.

Edith was wearing a business suit, but her face was devoid of makeup, and she looked drained.

The moment she saw Amara, she slammed her hand on the table. "Did you trick my son into acting again? Is that it? Amara, how could you do this?"

Knowing Edith was here to settle the score, Amara felt her own anger rising.

Just thinking about how Edith and Nathan had used quitting acting to blackmail Keith made her blood boil.

What did these parents see their son as? A tool to take over the family business?

"Ms. Winters, Keith has no interest in business. His dream since he was a child has been to be an actor. Besides, it's just one more film. He told me this morning he plans to manage the family business while he's filming. He's already doing so much."

Amara tried to keep her voice even, suppressing her fury.

But Edith was in no mood to listen. What she cared about were results, not Amara's tone.

The response infuriated Edith, but she couldn't find a way to argue further. She shot Amara one last hateful glare, stood up, and stormed out.

Meanwhile, after leaving the family estate, Finnian had gone to the office as usual. That morning, Liliana paid him a surprise visit.

She was dressed in her signature vibrant red dress, with a white wool coat draped over her shoulders. Carrying a box of pastries, she placed it on his desk and greeted him.

Finnian simply nodded at her. "What do you need?"

His tone was as cold as ever. Liliana smiled faintly, her voice a little coquettish. "Can't I come visit just because?"

Finnian glanced at her but said nothing.
