Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 149

After hanging up the phone, Kevin sensed something was off. How did the conversation with Amara veer so wildly off course?

Amara, on the other hand, felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had managed to dodge another round of Kevin's persistent attempts to talk her out of getting a divorce.

She wasn't curious about how Kevin seemed to know the divorce hadn’t gone through. Kevin had his ways and was always in the loop, but she hadn't expected him to be so relentless, refusing to give up even at this point.

Pondering for a moment, she thought about what she would do if this happened again.

Ever since that messy situation unfolded a few days ago, everyone in the crew was aware that Amara and Finnian were heading for a divorce. They didn’t know when the cooling-off period would end, but Amara had a strange feeling that everyone knew they hadn’t finalized it.

The way people looked at her when she arrived on set today was different, filled with curiosity or speculation. But that was just a hunch. What Amara was sure of was that Liliana knew they hadn't gotten divorced.

Liliana's eyes held a different kind of stare—dark and tinged with a hint of malice, like a snake lurking in the shadows, making Amara feel extremely uncomfortable.

Ignoring Liliana, Amara walked through the set into the break room and closed the door behind her.

"You two didn’t finalize it yesterday?"

Her phone buzzed. Amara found a message from Keith.

She sent back a nod emoji and asked, [How did you know?]

[Elysia told me,] Keith replied. [I'm on my way to the set. I'll come find you in a bit.]

Keith realized this too, stopping in his tracks but continuing to grumble about Finnian.

Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Everly Group, Finnian sat in a leather swivel chair with last quarter's financial report in front of him. He should have been able to finish reviewing it quickly, but he couldn’t focus on a single word.

Will observed Finnian's expression. Mr. Everly had his elbow on the desk, remaining motionless, having held that position for a couple of minutes.

After a moment of contemplation, Will cautiously approached. He ventured, "Mr. Everly, I heard that Mrs. Everly is in talks with another director about a new screenplay. It seems they've nearly finalized things and are about to sign.

Mrs. Everly is truly remarkable—so young and already creating so many works. She’s bound to become a renowned screenwriter one day."
