Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 694

Emma was livid. Her fourth sister-in-law had always been at odds with her, but did she really have to pick this moment to make things difficult? Didn’t she realize what was at stake? The Everly family’s reputation was tied together—if she lost face here, it would reflect badly on all of them.

Nearby, Liliana stood stunned in her elegant cocktail dress, still unable to wrap her mind around what had happened.

How could things have come to this?

Everything had started with the photos she’d found on Nora. The person in those photos was unmistakably Amara. While it wasn’t ideal to expose Amara’s pictures at such an important event—after all, this was supposed to be her and Finnian’s big day, and using it to attack Amara seemed like a waste—if it could bring Amara down for good, it would have been worth it. But how had things turned out like this?

She carefully replayed the words of that pale, slender maid in her mind. What exactly was that girl trying to say?

After marrying Finnian, Amara had barely seen him, and at that time, her appearance hadn’t even recovered. Liliana had assumed there was no way anything had happened between them. Was she wrong?

She glanced at Finnian, noticing how dark and clouded his expression was, his eyes cast downward, lost in thought.

Despite the whispers and speculation buzzing throughout the room, no one dared approach Finnian. His presence was simply too intimidating.

Soon, Finnian broke the silence. He looked up and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s dinner ends here. Thank you all for coming. Please leave in an orderly fashion—I’ll arrange transportation for everyone.”

With the situation in chaos, everyone knew the dinner couldn’t possibly continue. Since Finnian had spoken, people quickly bid their farewells, put on their coats, gathered their bags, and began to leave in groups.

There were over a hundred guests tonight, and since everyone had taken off their coats and set down their things earlier, it took some time for everyone to get ready and exit.

With that, Finnian quickly left Mr. Kevin Everly’s room.

He suspected Tina’s words might have been based on some misunderstanding, but what exactly was the misunderstanding?

To keep his grandfather safe, Finnian knew the background of every single servant in the house.

That girl, Tina, was as honest as they came, from a respectable family. She didn’t seem like someone who would lie or cause trouble. So what was really going on?

Tina had kept looking at him, as if she was trying to say that Amara’s child was his. But he knew—he had never been with Amara...
