Keith was a living, breathing person with his own dreams. Why should he be tethered to the family business from the moment he was born?
As a screenwriter, she had a thousand ways to shut Edith down, but as Keith’s “fiancée,” she couldn’t say any of them.
Her first step was to get the full story from Keith and understand what was going on before she confronted Edith and Nathan again.
She stood up. “Ms. Winters, I simply can’t agree with your views, and I won’t force you to accept mine. Arguing like this is good for neither of us. Let’s end our conversation here. I’ll be leaving now. Please, enjoy the rest of your day.”
Though Amara’s words were polite, her tone was ice-cold.
After speaking, she stood, gave Edith a slight nod, and walked away, leaving Edith staring in disbelief.
It wasn't until the café door swung shut that Edith finally processed what had happened. When she did, an uncontrollable rage surged within her.
How could the woman Keith found be so disrespectful to her elders?
She hadn't dismissed Amara, yet Amara had left on her own accord. And she had dared to contradict her… It was true what they said—no one from the entertainment industry was any good.
Her eyes flashed with malice. If Keith weren’t so utterly infatuated with this woman, she would never, ever let her into the family!
Just then, Edith received a text from an unsaved number: “Hello, this is Emma. Do you have a moment? I was hoping we could chat.”
Emma was the mother of Finnian, the chairman of the Everly Group, and also the mother of Amara's ex-husband.
