Under the Veil I Rule
Chapter 102

"Finnian won't have feelings for me, and ever since our divorce, things have just spiraled out of control. We can't even be friends, let alone get back together as a couple. There's no way I can continue with him."

With that, Amara stood up and nodded towards Kevin. "It's getting late. I should head home. You take care and get some rest."

Ignoring Kevin's displeased expression, Amara left the room.

It was already past ten in the evening, definitely time to head home. Amara grabbed her bag, waved a quick goodbye to Peter and Bess, and stepped out of the Everly family home.

She didn't own a car before, but since deciding to keep the baby, she'd been thinking a lot about her future. For instance, she'd have to get used to driving herself around. It would be too inconvenient otherwise, especially with a child.

Therefore, a few days ago, she had Keith accompany her to a dealership. After some consideration, she purchased a sedan for a little over thirty thousand.

Actually, with the earnings from her years as a screenwriter, and the support from the Everly and Finnian, she could have easily bought a few luxury cars. But she wasn't into cars—she just needed something practical. So, she chose a simple, reliable vehicle.

In the underground parking lot, her car stood out among the luxury models. She walked over confidently and opened the door.

"Is this your car?"

Footsteps came from behind her. Amara turned to see Finnian and Liliana approaching. Were they leaving too?

Finnian came up to her, asking, "You can drive?"

Back then, Amara usually brought lunch for him to the Everly Group building; he had heard she always took taxi, naturally assuming she didn't know how to drive.

Amara nodded. "Yup."

She'd gotten her license right after high school, but didn't learn much at the driving school. It was Keith who helped her practice until she became proficient.

However, she was always nervous about driving and rarely took the wheel. Besides a car given to her by Larry, she never owned one, so people not so close to her assumed she couldn't drive.

Finnian glanced at her car. "Can you handle it on your own?"

Amara felt speechless. "I drove here by myself."

Without another word, she got into her car, avoiding further conversation with Finnian.

She sensed something was off with Liliana's gaze and to steer clear of drama, she decided not to talk with Finnian.

A minute later, Amara's car smoothly exited the garage. Finnian followed suit, pressing the gas pedal of his Rolls-Royce to keep up.

Liliana sat in the passenger seat, chattering about the film crew and baby-related topics. Finnian offered half-hearted replies, distracted.

Nater, Liliana noticed

A few minutes la

something was off. This wasn't the route to her place, nor to Finnian's apartment. The car ahead, Amara's, seemed to occasionally appearin the distance, as if they'd been foflowing her all along.

Liliana bit her lip. "Are we following Ms. Sullivan?"

Finnian nodded, steering the car left as Amara's BYD turned down a side street.

Alarm bells rang in Liliana's mind, but she kept her composure, casually asking, "Why are we following her?"

"I haven't seen her drive before. Just want to make sure she's safe," Finnian replied. "If anything happens to her, Grandpa would be worried."
