Amara was certain that starring in "Letters from Yesterday" would rekindle Keith''s passion for acting, and her mood lifted considerably.


    That evening, she received news that Keith had officially signed the contract with Mr. Frost. Production for "Letters from Yesterday" would begin in a month, with Keith in the lead role.


    The news blew up on Twitter, and Amara read the announcements with a sense of satisfaction. A man like Keith belonged on a stage.


    But the decision wasn''t without its downsides. The next day, Amara received a call from Edith, demanding a meeting.


    Amara had anticipated this and wasn''t surprised. She got ready and headed to the coffee shop Edith had chosen.


    Edith was wearing a business suit, but her face was devoid of makeup, and she looked drained.


    The moment she saw Amara, she mmed her hand on the table. "Did you trick my son into acting again? Is that it? Amara, how could you do this?"


    Knowing Edith was here to settle the score, Amara felt her own anger rising.


    Just thinking about how Edith and Nathan had used quitting acting to ckmail Keith made her blood boil.


    What did these parents see their son as? A tool to take over the family business?


    "Ms. Winters, Keith has no interest in business. His dream since he was a child has been to be an actor. Besides, it''s just one more film. He told me this morning he ns to manage the family business while he''s filming. He''s already doing so much."


    Amara tried to keep her voice even, suppressing her fury.


    But Edith was in no mood to listen. What she cared about were results, not Amara''s tone.


    She red at Amara, her voice sharp. "Don''t give me that nonsense! I don''t believe you! You carry on like this and take back those legal documents and stop this wedding!"


    Now Amara was truly furious. Edith hadn''t listened to a single word. Al she cared about was whether, Keith would obey her and take over the business.


    What about Keith''s feelings, his dreams? Clearly, those meant nothing to Edith.


    Her expression hardened, and her tone became just as sharp. "If you want the documents back, you can ask Keith for them."


    They had already been handed over. Could Edith really snatch them back? Amara doubted it, so she decided to call her bluff.


    Edith was struck speechless, her lips trembling with rage.


    "Amara, you are nothing like you appear on the surface. You''re audacious, and so very cunning."


    Amara had no intention of being polite any longer. "You tter me," she said tly.


    The response infuriated Edith, but she couldn''t find a way to argue further. She shot Amara onest hateful re, stood up, and stormed out.


    Meanwhile, after leaving the family estate, Finnian had gone to the office as usual. That morning, Liliana paid him a surprise visit.


    She was dressed in her signature


    vibrant red dress, with a white wool


    coat draped over her shoulders.


    she


    Carrying a box of pastries she


    ced it on his desk and greeted


    him.


    Finnian simply nodded at her. "What do you need?"


    His tone was as cold as ever. Liliana smiled faintly, her voice a little coquettish.


    "Can''t Ie visit just because?"


    Finnian nced at her but said nothing.
