Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 705

Here is your revised and polished English translation, faithful to the original meaning and tone, and adapted for American readers:

---

“How about this—let me look through the family picture we took on Dad’s birthday last year. That way, we can see if Elowen really was wearing that dress.”

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and started scrolling through the gallery.

“…Enough!”

At last, Fiona couldn’t bear it any longer and snapped in anger.

At this point, there was no way to deny what had happened—and, truthfully, it never should have been denied in the first place.

Maybe an outsider could have hesitated when looking at those photos, but as Elowen’s parents, she and Larry knew instantly—that was Elowen in the picture.

They lived with their daughter every single day. How could any parent not recognize their own child?

But Elowen hadn’t taken the chance to admit her mistake when she still could. Instead, she kept on arguing, digging herself deeper—like a complete fool.

When Amara noticed Fiona shooting her a vicious glare, she wasn’t upset at all. She simply continued, “What’s this, Mrs. Sullivan? Are you confessing on Elowen’s behalf now?”

A slight, knowing smile played at her lips. “So, the person in the pictures isn’t me at all. It’s Elowen.”

“But Mrs. Emma Everly was dead set on accusing me—insisting that I was the one in the pictures, claiming I’d gotten involved with some man, and even saying the baby I’m carrying isn’t legitimate. That’s what this whole thing yesterday was about.”

Amara intentionally left out anything about Tina, glossing over that part.

If Larry hadn’t uncovered the truth about Tina himself, there was no reason to bring it up to them. Amara herself still hadn’t sorted out those details; just thinking about it made her head throb.

After leaving the Sullivan household, Amara wandered around outside for a while. That’s when Elysia messaged her: Finnian Everly’s small wedding reception had been postponed, pushed from noon to the evening.

Elysia went on to say that it actually made more sense this way, since Finnian’s getting married for the second time—who holds a reception for a second wedding in the middle of the day, anyway?

Elysia’s tone was teasing, but Amara couldn’t help but feel worried when she read the message.

Why was Finnian’s reception delayed? Was it because of her? A wave of anxiety rose in Amara.

She didn’t want any more trouble—she just hoped that Finnian and Liliana could get married, quietly and smoothly, without anything else going wrong.

Right then, a message popped up from Mr. Kevin Everly: “Ama, what are you up to? If you don’t have anything else going on, come home. Grandpa’s waiting for you.”

Mr. Kevin Everly knew that Amara’s place was still under renovation, and she didn’t have anywhere else to stay in Wye. At the moment, that left Amara with nowhere to go, and he was worried about her.
