Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 202

A week's worth of caregiving, and Finnian had paid her this much? Without wasting a moment, she grabbed the card and headed back to the hospital room.

Liliana had already left, and Finnian, noticing Amara's return, darkened slightly his face, looking disgruntled. "Where have you been? You took forever."

Amara chose not to dig into the source of his irritation. Perhaps he was just displeased at being left alone by his caregiver.

"I went to the bank, Mr. Everly," she explained. "Why did you give me so much money?"

Bank visit, huh? Checking up on her paycheck? What a little moneygrubber. Finnian's annoyance somehow faded.

"One million dollars is for your work as a caregiver," he replied with a slight smirk. "The other three million is your divorce settlement."

Amara had previously turned down the divorce settlement, returning the three million to him, but Finnian didn’t want to accept it, determined to give it back.

"I don't need that money," Amara insisted promptly. "Please, Mr. Everly, take it."

"It's yours, so keep it," Finnian interrupted. “You deserve it.”

His tone was firm and unyielding, leaving Amara momentarily speechless.

She had made up her mind not to take Finnian's money, and she wasn't about to change her stance now. However, continuing this back and forth seemed pointless and might lead to altercation, especially when they clearly had different views. Better to let it go for now and find a way to return the money later. Hence, she chose to be reticent.
