Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 282

"Mr. Everly, we owe you big time. If there's anything we can do to help you in the future, just say the word. And let's skip the formalities, alright?"

Dorian's brow furrowed with a hint of annoyance, ready to speak when Finnian interrupted, "Dorian, leave it."

He turned to Amara, "You should go, Amara."

Amara nodded, "Thanks, Mr. Everly. I'll be heading out."

She turned and left with Keith, Dorian's eyes glued to her back until the door clicked shut.

As soon as the door closed, Dorian anxiously asked, "Why did you let her go? Even if I don't approve of you two being together, you can't just..."

"Let it go," Finnian's voice was low but firm.

"What's done is done."

Seeing Finnian's expression, Dorian remembered what Finnian had said a few days ago and the list of names Liliana had brought. He fell silent, frustration etched on his face, and gave Finnian's shoulder a sympathetic pat. "Alright then, do what you think is best."

Word traveled fast, and it wasn't long before Liliana heard about Finnian's heroic act of charging into a burning building to save Amara. For the first time, her polished exterior cracked, and she trashed the room in a fit of rage.
