Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 918

"But she didn't have to go through with the abortion. If she kept it, I would only give her ten percent of the shares. I wouldn't leave the rest to Fiona Faye Sullivan or Elowen Sullivan either; I’d donate it all. I never forced her to get rid of the baby. I simply gave her two paths to choose from."

"After thinking it over, Amara eventually chose the first path—to terminate the pregnancy and claim the family's shares. She made that choice entirely on her own."

Finnian was stunned. He hadn't realized there was such a complex underlying reason for her sudden decision to go through with the abortion.

Larry pressed on, "Before today, I didn't know who the father was. She refused to tell me, and I didn't push. I just couldn't stomach my daughter raising an illegitimate child, so I pushed her toward the procedure."

"But now I know the truth about the pregnancy, and I've already spoken with her."

"If she's willing to marry you, I won't force her into the abortion, and I'll still give her all the shares."

"But if she refuses to marry you, she still has to go through with it. Otherwise, she gets none of the equity."

Pausing for a second, Larry concluded, "Basically, my terms and conditions are all out in the open. I won't force Amara to do anything; every decision is hers alone. So if you plan to chase her, don't think you can use me as a stepping stone."

With that, Larry stood up.

He was a couple of inches shorter than Finnian, but his build was more robust and imposing, his features carrying an undeniable sternness.

When it came to presence, his aura was vastly different from Finnian's.

Finnian commanded the room with an overpowering, domineering, and icy energy—something that struck fear into people while simultaneously radiating a lethal charisma.

Larry, however, had the weight of his age and a perpetually harsh, unyielding expression. His presence was intensely authoritarian; he simply radiated sheer intimidation.
