Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 283

Amara had been asking around, and the police finally revealed that they traced the explosion back to a small plastic container. It was rigged with a silenced explosive device on a timer, making it tricky to pinpoint exactly when it was set up. They assured her there would be a thorough investigation.

"Ama, you're back," Larry said as he approached her, giving her the once-over. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm okay, Dad," Amara replied softly.

In truth, she hadn't been physically harmed, just inhaled some smoke, leaving her lungs feeling a bit uncomfortable. She leaned against the doorframe, looking more fragile than she felt.

Larry studied her for a moment. "If you're not feeling well, take a few days off to rest. Work can wait. You don't need to worry about earning money right now."

Amara, now divorced from Finnian and without financial support from her ex- husband, knew this was Larry's way of saying he'd take care of her financially.
