Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 188

Andrea was about ready to lose it with Celeste. In a fit of frustration, she stomped on Celeste's foot and, under Finnian's icy stare, forced a smile before dragging the fuming Celeste away.

Amara watched the drama unfold, feeling utterly drained. Celeste's insults were essentially aimed at Finnian too, since they were still married. It was no surprise to her that Finnian defended her, but she had no intention of thanking him.

She didn't want to stay there under all those judgmental stares. So, she told the nurse to update her if anything happened and headed to the rooftop alone.

It was quite late, and the rooftop was deserted, with only the chilly night wind whipping around, making it an uncomfortable place to be. Amara stood there for a moment, contemplating a change of scenery when the door suddenly swung open, and a tall figure stepped out.

"So, this is where you're hiding?"

It was Hogan. He strode over to Amara, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "You got my grandfather hospitalized and Celeste caught in the crossfire. Amara, you're really something, aren't you? You won't rest until you've completely disrupted the Everly family, will you?"
