"What do you want?" Amelia snapped.


    Amara stared at her. "Let me tell you, the matter of you hiring someone to run me over isn''t over yet. Don''t you forget that."


    Amelia''s head shot up, her gaze turning vicious.


    "It already happened. What can you do to me? Are you angry? It seems there''s nothing you can do about it."


    Amara released her arm and smiled calmly. "You''re right. There''s really nothing I can do to you."


    Amelia''s dark expression finally lifted, a triumphant smirk forming on her lips. But before the smile could fully blossom, Amara continued, “But there''s plenty Finnian can do to you."


    Amelia''s lips pressed into a thin line.


    "Don''t forget, Finnian was in that car with me. You weren''t just trying to kill me; you were trying to kill him too."


    "You didn''t actually think Finnian was some pushover you could harm without consequence, did you? That he wouldn''t seek revenge after you nearly got him killed? Or perhaps you think your family is more powerful than his, and his revenge will fail?"


    Amelia''s eyes widened, and she began to tremble.


    If she had known Finnian was in that car, she never would have let her people proceed. She wouldn''t have dared to harm him, not even if someone gave her a hundred times the courage.


    But the order had been passed down throughyers of people, and somewhere along the line, a mistake had been made, leading to this disaster.


    After the incident, both her husband''s family and her own had found out that she was responsible for endangering Finnian. They had been furious.


    Lately, while they hadn''t done anything to her openly, behind the scenes... her life had been hell!


    She had suffered immensely, and it had nearly broken her spirit. Hearing Amara''s words now, her fear intensified, and beneath that fear, her hatred for Amara swelled.


    Seeing that look of mixed hatred and fear on Amelia''s face, Amara''s lips curved into


    a smile. She gave them onest nce and turned to leave.


    The moment she was out the door, her smile vanished.


    What Elowen said was true. She couldn''t just marry anyone. It seemed that Keith really was the best solution. Was she really going to have to ask Keith to enter a fake marriage with her Content belong''s


    She wasn''t worried about him refusing; he had offered to im her child as his own multiple times.


    But if they actually did it, it would inevitably affect Keith''s future marital prospects.


    And there was no way she couldpensate him equally, because Keith wanted for nothing. The thought tormented her.


    Finnian was in his office, a stack of documents in front of him. He could absorb a page at a nce, and the pile was steadily shrinking.


    Suddenly, a hurried knock sounded at the door. Finnian was astute enough to recognize who it was just from the sound.


    He said, “Come in," and sure enough, Hogan Everly rushed into the room.


    "Finnian!" Hogan nted his hands on the desk, demanding anxiously, "Are you really going to marry Liliana?"


    Finnian continued reading, not even looking up. “Yes. You''re back?"


    Hogan also worked for the Everly Group and had been on a business trip abroad. He had justnded an hour ago and was immediately hit with the news of Finnian''s impending marriage to Liffana He refused to believe it.


    Finnian was amitted bachelor. The only person who could possibly get him to


    the altar was Amara, if she ever relented. How could Liliana possibly manage it?
