Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 81

Lucian always saw Amara as a true savior. So, whenever he saw Liliana and Finnian giving her a hard time, he couldn't help but feel a surge of indignation rising within him.

He glared at Liliana, his words as sharp as a knife. "Is that your husband? No, that's someone else's. You know it pretty well, yet you still call him yours. How shameless can you be?"

Liliana froze, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She'd never been insulted like this before. She lifted her eyes, almost on the brink of tears. "Finn."

Finnian's gaze was grim, but his presence exuded an undeniable aura of grace and authority, one that could easily overshadow Lucian's.

But Lucian, having grown up on the rough streets and involved in countless brawls, wasn't fazed by mere presence. He locked eyes with Finnian, unyielding, like a wolf ready to pounce on its prey.

"Take it back? Did I say anything wrong?" he retorted with a sardonic edge.

Finnian's expression grew even colder. "Right or wrong, you have no right to say it."
