“Ely”
Amara didn't look at anyone else; she went straight to Elysia's side and whispered, "Don't waste twith them.
Let's go."
She wanted to get Elysia out of there. Finnian blocked her path, his brow slightly furrowed. "Why are you here
too?"
It made sense that Elysia, with her connections, would know where they were, but Amara's presence was
unexpected.
"She told me," Amara replied as she cast a frosty glance at Liliana, who stood behind Finnian.
Finnian turned around. "You sent her a message?"
"Sure did."
Liliana flicked her hair back, her demeanor both languid and alluring.
"Ms. Sullivan's friend is here, but | noticed she seemed to cwithout informing her, so | figured I'd give her a

Finnian didn't respond, sbeams of the room's dim light resting on his hair, which only made his eyes appear
darker, concealing any emotion.
Amara didn't want a confrontation. Minutes ago, when Liliana texted her, she had been out shopping and hurried
over in a rush. She hadn't expected to find not only Finnian but also Dorian and Jessica there.
She knew all too well how much influence Dorian had over Elysia; seeing them together would surely upset her.
Amara just wanted to take Elysia away.
She held Elysia's hand, intent on leaving. But this time, it was Dorian who blocked her path.
"Amara."
Dorian's voice was cold, his gaze filled with irritation. He never liked Amara, and now she was stirring up trouble
again, which only added to his annoyance.
"Your marriage to Finn is just a
business deal. Why do you care who
Finn has a child with? Are you
harboring sdelusions about et
Finn? If so," he remarked, his eyes glinting with mockery, "you're overestimating yourself and, frankly, it's
pathetic."
Amara's mind went blank at his words, her irritation spiraling. Did Dorian just call her pathetic and delusional?
Jessica chimed in, taking the
opportunity to jab further, "Yeah, Ms. Sullivan, maybe there's something wrong with your face? If that's the case,
you and Mr. Everly don't match at af Someone like Ms. Porter is a much better fit for him."
Their unrelenting jabs filled Amara's chest with rage, yet she found herself at a loss for words.
They all seemed to think she was clinging to Finnian, but she had already handed Finnian a statement promising
to keep her distance. What did they expect her to do, produce the document and prove she wasn't trying to
seduce him?
No, that would be too humiliating. Amara bit her lip, frustrated by her own powerlessness.
Just then, Finnian spoke. His handsface was set in a cool, hard mask as he said firmly, "Amara's not like
that. Don't misunderstand her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis words left Liliana, Dorian, and the others momentarily speechless.
Finnian was not one to meddle in others’ affairs. If he spoke up, it meant he cared about the person or the
situation, so did he care about Amara?
That seemed impossible. Why would any man, in his right mind, care about someone grotesque like Amara?
Dorian couldn't grasp the situation, merely bewildered, while Liliana's internal alarms were blaring. This wasn't
the first tFinnian had shown concern for Amara-she'd lost count of how many times it had happened. What
was she supposed todo about it?
