Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 623

Here is the revised translation, closely aligned with the original Chinese text, reflecting the nuances, relationships, and cultural context, and polished for fluent, natural American English:

---

Antonia had always been the apple of the family’s eye. When the news broke, relatives flooded her with questions, wanting to know what had happened, then offered words of comfort.

“How could Antonia not be the lead? Wasn’t it already settled that she’d get the part? The production team is way out of line. Maybe I should go talk to them.”

“This is just too much! I looked up that Yolanda—she looks so androgynous, nowhere near as pretty as Antonia. Are the directors blind?”

“Could the production have made a mistake? Didn’t we already treat them to dinner before? Maybe someone should go ask what’s going on. Antonia’s really been wronged.”

“Hey, I just looked up the production crew. The screenwriter for Letters from Yesterday is Amara, Emma’s former daughter-in-law. Word is, there’s serious bad blood between them. Maybe Amara found out about Antonia’s connection to Emma and that’s why Antonia got dropped.”

As soon as this was said, the conversation shifted to the feud between Amara and Emma.

Everyone agreed: Antonia had already been confirmed, so the sudden switch couldn’t be because of anything she’d done. Antonia was a great kid—how could anyone have a problem with her?

So, it had to be because Amara had issues with Emma and took it out on Antonia.

The criticism gradually turned toward Emma, blaming her for not having kept a good relationship with Amara. Now, because of Emma, Antonia’s future was being sabotaged. What a mess.

Reading these comments, Emma was furious.

Although she got along well with Antonia and her parents, her relationship with the rest of the Everly family was far from cordial.

Emma wanted to go confront Amara, but hesitated, unsure if she should.

Just then, her phone buzzed—Edith was calling.

After some brief small talk, Edith asked, “Are you free to meet up?”

Emma smiled. “Sure.”

A little after four that afternoon, Amara received a text from Edith, saying she wanted to meet and asking her to come to the WestWinter Group offices.
