Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 156

Finnian studied Amara's expression carefully, asking, "Did something happen between your mom and Fiona?"

If there wasn't some serious bad blood, Amara wouldn't have exploded like that just now.

Even after all these years, it seemed like everyone had forgotten about the deep- seated grudge between her mom and Fiona.

You know how it went-people were quick to celebrate the new and forget the old. Everyone remembered Fiona for her grace and poise, while the memory of Amara's mother, now just cold bones in the ground, was left to fade away.
