Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 106

Amara instantly felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Elysia's words were rude, considering the fact that Finnian had just saved both of them.

"Elysia's had too much to drink. She probably won't even remember what she said. Please, don't take it to heart. Thank you so much for earlier. I'll make sure to properly thank you another day. I should get going now."

Not wanting to risk Elysia saying anything else that might anger Finnian, Amara quickly helped her friend out of the bar.

The small group of punks watched her leave with venom, too cowardly to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Liliana, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked up to Finnian and tugged at the edge of his coat. "Finn, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing," Finnian turned and replied, his expression indifferent. "Let's go."

As they walked out together, Liliana couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance as she recalled Finnian stepping in to help Amara.

Ever since that incident at the club, Finnian had been keeping his distance from Amara, but he still felt the need to involve himself in her matters. Just now, he'd even gotten into a fight for her. That infuriating sense of responsibility of his was driving her crazy.

As Finnian left the bar with a cool expression, he overheard a conversation. "Did you see the fight just now? Who was that girl? Even with the mask, her eyes were stunning."

"No idea. But she sure is heartless. That incredibly handsome guy fought for her, and she just walked away with her friend. Cold-blooded, if you ask me."

"Come on, what cold blood? She did thank him."
