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."

"I believe it was last August, in the underground parking lot, wasn't it?"

Amara put on a mock thoughtful expression.

"You were already engaged to Aaron Barlow by then, so it wasn't just an ex- boyfriend thing. It was cheating. How do you think the Barlow family would react if they found out?"

With each word Amara spoke, Amelia's anxiety grew, anger blazing in her eyes. She leaned in close to Elowen, whispering harshly, "What's with your sister? Did her divorce make her this brazen?"

"Yeah, she got a bit unhinged after the divorce," Elowen shouted back.

She sneered at Amara, "So, why are you here alone today, sis? Where's the ex- hubby?"
