Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 19

So, what kind of person was Finnian, really? Liliana's eyes narrowed as her mind raced with thoughts.

The next morning, Liliana, bright and early, made her way to the film set with her assistant, Nora who, a slightly chubby girl with round glasses, was juggling what seemed like a dozen cups of coffee, clearly struggling under the weight.

Liliana slipped off her sunglasses with a flourish and announced, "Thanks for taking such good care of me yesterday, everyone. My husband insisted on treating you all to coffee. Come and get it!"

"Wow, Mr. Everly is so thoughtful, even treating us to coffee."

"Mr. Everly really dotes on Liliana. He even remembers to thank those who help her."

The crew, all smiles, eagerly grabbed their coffees, leaving Amara sitting alone with her script, her body slightly trembling.

Despite her efforts to brush off her emotions, being sentimental was one thing, but being reasonable was another. Hearing Liliana publicly refer to Finnian as her husband was more than she could bear.

She noticed Liliana glancing her way, a mocking look that made Amara's skin crawl. Instinctively, she wanted to escape. Just then, a lazy, magnetic voice broke the tension. "Ms. Porter, are you and Mr. Everly married?"

Liliana turned to face Keith, who had unexpectedly asked the question. Keith was a strikingly handsome man, not quite as maturely attractive as Finnian, but still a sight for sore eyes.

She flashed a smile and replied, "Not yet, but soon."

Keith chuckled softly, and anyone with ears could hear the sarcasm in it. Liliana frowned, puzzled by his reaction.

"So, you're Mr. Everly's girlfriend then?" Keith continued coolly. "Funny, because I heard Mr. Everly has a wife. Does that make you the homewrecker, Ms. Porter?"

The crew, coffee cups in hand, turned their eyes to Liliana, their expressions a mix of surprise and curiosity. If anyone else had said it, they might have brushed it off. But coming from Keith, it was different.

Keith, with his wealthy family background, had made a name for himself in the entertainment industry despite having an empire to inherit. His reputation was stellar, a stark contrast to Liliana, and people naturally believed he wouldn't lie. So, was Liliana really a homewrecker?

"I am not!" Liliana's face flushed with embarrassment, her composure momentarily slipping. But being a woman who fought her way to the top, she sure had some scheming under her sleeves, and quickly regained her cool.
