Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 759

He straightened up, looking toward Hogan, his face turning cold. “What happened?”

When he heard the news, he’d been out of town signing a contract. He dropped everything and rushed straight to the hospital.

He hadn’t needed to give Hogan any instructions—he knew Hogan would already be investigating, so he simply asked.

Sure enough, Hogan explained, “Celeste wanted to see Amara today, to clear up some things from the past, and she asked me to bring her.”

“So I called Amara. She agreed, and we met at a dessert café.”

“But as we were leaving, Amara suddenly started clutching her abdomen in pain. She looked like she was really hurting. The two of us got scared and brought her straight to the hospital.”

“At the hospital, the doctor said Amara’s pain was caused by some food she ate, which triggered uterine contractions.”

“I suspected that the cake she’d eaten might have been the problem. So I left Celeste here with Amara, and went back to the dessert shop to investigate. As it turns out, there was an issue with the cake.”

As he spoke, he pulled over the shop owner, who was visibly trembling with fear. Hogan continued, “This is the owner of the dessert shop. He claims the cake Amara ate was injected with herbal medicine, and that Celeste instructed him to do it.”

“Finnian, he’s slandering me! I never tried to hurt Amara!” Celeste immediately cried.

Finnian focused a cold, intimidating stare on her.

He was a man with a commanding presence. Just being silently stared at by him gave people enormous pressure.
