Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 112

"I can't calm down!"

Amara had always been someone simple, the kind of person who was easy to be taken advantage of, someone who would yield under pressure. But when pushed too far, she could unleash a surprising amount of energy that would catch everyone off guard.

Right now, Amara was at that breaking point.

Liliana looked at her, astounded. She hadn’t expected things to escalate this much, and it was a bit beyond what she had anticipated.

Amara had just mentioned a statement, and while she hadn’t spelled it out, everyone in the cast was savvy enough to piece together what had happened.

For a moment, the room was filled with curious glances directed at Liliana, whose face flushed with exasperation.

"Ms. Sullivan, please calm down. Even if you leave the project, you'll still receive your pay, along with some compensation."

"You’re not even in charge of the finances, so what are you talking about my pay? You act like you’re running the show. Let’s get one thing straight—screenwriters and directors come first, then the actors!"

Amara's words were brutally candid, leaving no room for politeness.

Most adults wouldn't speak so bluntly; it was the kind of honesty one'd expect from a child who didn’t know better, leaving others in discomfort. Usually, Amara had a high emotional intelligence and wouldn't talk this way. But this time, she had truly reached her limit.

The room fell silent once more. Liliana clutched the bedsheet tightly, her face turning a deep shade of red. No matter how today ended, she had been mortified enough.

She was known for being graceful and composed, yet today she was publicly called out, leaving her speechless a couple of times. Unlike her previous crocodile tears, this time she really felt like crying.
