Just then, Amara rounded the corner. Fortune favored the bold, and cutting off someone's financial lifeline was
akin to a serious betrayal.
Finnian was probably worried that if he badmouthed her in front of Larry, causing her to completely lose her
shares in the Sullivan Group, she might retaliate in a way that could harm him. So, he threw in a few good words
for her.
After all, it was just a few pleasantries—no skin off Finnian's back. Saying something nice didn't cost him
anything.
"Alright, you two head out. | need to rest now," Larry said, waving them away, clearly uninterested in dealing
with them any longer.
Amara nodded. "Take care, Dad. We'll head out. If you need anything, just givea call."
Amara understood that her standing with Larry had changed. Why else would he not have informed her about his

She lowered her gaze and left the room with Finnian.
As soon as they stepped into the corridor, Finnian remarked, "Your dad still doesn't know about Keith. He'll be

Amara looked up to see Elowen and Fiona approaching, their faces adorned with heavy makeup, stopping in front
of them with mocking gazes.
Elowen then turned her attention to Finnian, her tone shifting to something much softer.
