Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 616

Amara fixed her gaze on Elowen, her eyes blazing with fury.

Suddenly, Amara lunged forward and, right in front of Larry, slapped Elowen hard across the face. “Shut up!” she shouted.

She had barely held herself back when Fiona was berating her earlier—she couldn’t bring herself to hit Fiona in front of Larry. But Elowen was another matter.

The slap landed with such force that Elowen was knocked to the ground. She clutched her burning cheek, looking up at Amara in disbelief.

“Amara, how dare you hit me?”

Amara had actually dared to strike her in front of their father. Elowen was overwhelmed by both humiliation and outrage—at that moment, she wished she could destroy Amara.

But Fiona didn’t see this as a problem. She immediately turned to Larry and exclaimed, “Do you see this? Amara is completely out of control! She just hit her own sister—right in front of us! She’s getting more outrageous by the day!”

She then turned to Amara and scolded, “How dare you raise your hand against your sister? You think being pregnant out of wedlock makes you justified?”

“Shut up!” Amara finally snapped, glaring at Fiona. “You know full well who got pregnant before marriage! Why are you targeting me?”

The moment those words left her lips, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.

Amara’s accusation was unmistakable—she was saying that Fiona was the one who had gotten pregnant before marriage.

The truth was, Fiona had never actually been married before. There was no ex-husband—Elowen was not the daughter of some previous marriage. She was Fiona and Larry’s illegitimate child.

“When I was ten, Elowen slashed my face with a knife. She ruined my life. But when I told you, do you remember what you said?”

“You swore up and down it couldn’t possibly have been Elowen, that I must be imagining things for accusing my own sister.”

“Dad, you think my pregnancy is such a disgrace—but ask yourself, did you ever really care about me?”

“I grew up unloved and neglected. If no one ever truly cared for me or taught me right from wrong, how could you expect me to grow into a good person?”

These were words Amara had prepared on her way there, intending to use them against Larry. But as she spoke, she realized they were the truest feelings in her heart.
