Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 118

Amara didn't take the contract. Her hands were clenched into fists, and she was shaking with indignation. She couldn't believe it-Finnian was still going to fire her, just to please Liliana!

Sure, his words were a bit more polished than yesterday, easier to swallow. But the message was the same. They wanted her out of the production!

"Um, Mr. Everly, Amara's the one who knows Whispers of Winter inside out. If she leaves, who's going to keep the story on track?"

Cedric was just as shocked as he was and, not daring to oppose his investor directly, he asked in a hopeful tone.

"Exactly, Mr. Everly. Who's going to take over as the screenwriter if Amara leaves? Bringing in someone new who doesn't understand the plot could be a hassle in many aspects."

Everyone had heard Finnian's words, but only a few dared to actually confront him. Now, three or four stood around him, all eyes on his every move.

Finnian's expression didn't change a bit. "Understanding the plot isn't an issue. Give someone a week, and they'll catch up. With so many talented screenwriters in Zephyria, as long as the money's right, finding someone won't be a problem." His words clearly meant he'd cover all the costs of hiring a new one.
