Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 111

"I don't agree!" she exclaimed. "Whispers of Winter is a show I created on my own. I deserve to be the head screenwriter. How can you just fire me?"

Whispers of Winter was the result of a team effort. Amara understood that people like Mr. Zade and the producers had invested a lot more than she had. But it was her brainchild from the start. To her, Whispers of Winter was like her own child. How could they just replace her?

She couldn't accept it! Amara had been mad many times in her life, but nothing compared to the fury she felt now.

Now she understood why Liliana had gone so far as to spread rumors, even risking her own unborn child in the process. She must have been waiting for this moment.

Once Amara was out of the picture, Liliana wouldn’t have to see her every day on set, and neither would Finnian. That must have been Liliana’s plan all along.

Liliana clutched Finnian’s sleeve, pleading, “Finn, I’m really scared. Could you replace Ms. Sullivan?”

Finnian’s eyes darkened, his face expressionless. “I’ll think about it,” he said.

Amara’s mind exploded. He actually had to think about it? Did Finnian really want to replace her?

She glared at Finnian intensely, nearly hating him in that moment.

“Uh, maybe we should step outside. Mr. Everly said he’d consider it, right? So let’s give him some time,” Cedric suggested cautiously, trying to lead everyone out. He’d never expected the escalation of the incident.

“Wait! Don’t leave!” Amara addressed through gritted teeth as she stopped Cedric.
