Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 289

"No need," Amara said quickly.

Hearing that Larry had chosen to keep Elowen around filled her with a sense of melancholy and disappointment.

But now that Larry had feelings for Elowen, if Amara stubbornly opposed him, even with Finnian's help, it would only alienate Larry. That would mean losing her chance at shares in the Sullivan Group. She was clear-headed about this: patience was key. There would always be a future opportunity to deal with Elowen, but missing out on those shares would be final. She had to swallow her pride for now.

Finnian understood her thoughts. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Elowen’s reckless and bold. You should be careful. Try to avoid staying at the Sullivan family home."

"I know. Thank you for everything during this time."

Even though the police had handled things efficiently, Finnian had been instrumental in uncovering the truth so quickly. Amara’s gratitude was genuine.

Finnian looked at her intently. "You don't need to thank me. It's what I should do."

His voice was deep, and Amara sensed the faintest hint of something more in his words. She quickly calmed her racing heart.

That afternoon, Amara decided to visit the Sullivan family home to see Elowen.

In just a few days, Elowen had lost a noticeable amount of weight. Her hair was disheveled, and her gaunt appearance was unsettling. Her cold gaze was like a ravenous wolf’s, making anyone uneasy.
