Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 273

"But what's the point of threatening me when you don't have any evidence? What driver are you talking about? I have no idea what you're saying."

Amara had indeed caught her in a compromising situation with the driver, but there was no hard evidence to back it up. All she had was her word, and that wasn't much to go on.

Amara's lips curled into a sly smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I may not have evidence, but your in-laws could certainly dig some up. Once the whispers start, you can bet they'll be itching to investigate."

Amara put on a mock thoughtful expression.
