Chapter 174
Previously, Kevin had promised that after Grace's forty-nine days had passed, he would agree to their divorce. At
the time, Amara believed him.
But now, it seemed like that was just a stalling tactic from him.
Seriously, who in the 21st century still believed in such superstitions?
So, had she been played by Kevin all along?
"Don't worry, Ama. I'll make sure Finn comes around. You two absolutely cannot get divorced! He'll change, and
you both will live happily together," Kevin declared, clasping Amara's hands firmly. His opposition to their divorce
was crystal clear. He shot a glare at Finnian before leaving the office with Lisa.
Amara stood there, dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.
Finnian approached her. "Grandpa said you didn't cheat. Is that true?"
Amara's mind was a whirlwind of confusion.

She had thought that coming over to explain things to Finnian would lead to their divorce, but she hadn't
counted on Kevin throwing a wrench in the works.
Trying to steady herself, she gazed up and said, "Yes, it's true. | didn't cheat on you. Keith and | were never a
thing."
Finnian let out a derisive chuckle, a mocking sound.
Amara lifted her chin. "You don't believe me?"
"Do you really think | would?"
His expression said it all; he genuinely didn't believe her. Amara was seething.
"I have work to do. Please leave," he said coldly, turning back to his desk.
Amara wanted to explain further, but he had already shown her the door. There was no reason to linger around.
She turned and stormed out, her anger simmering.
On the way back, she still felt exasperated. By the tshe reached the film set, she was calmer.
Reflecting on the morning's events
Amara realized it was unlikely
Finnian would ever believe she was
innocent, especially with that
recording Liliana had made.
Liliana had secretly recorded their conversation and edited it to make Amara sound guilty, playing it for
everyone in the Everly family living room.
Now, everyone except Kevin believed she'd been unfaithful, and there was nothing she could do about it.
At the moment, the complications mounted not just with Finnian, but also with Kevin, who Amara had thought
wasn't expressly stubborn considering the fact that he approved of their divorce, though Kevin had once kept
persuading her being reconciled with Finnian,
Today's incident made Amara realize that Kevin's previous approval was a mere

plot to gain tand that he hadn't changed.
Thus, Amara resorted to Elysia's second suggestion-take drastic action.
After sorting through her thoughts, Amara made a decision and called Keith.
"Pretend to be your boyfriend?" Keith's voice rose over the phone as he heard her request.
"Yes, | think the Everly family will only letgo if they truly believe I've had an affair. | just need to know if this
is inconvenient for you."
"No inconvenience at all! Just tellwhat you needto do, and I'm on board!" Keith responded eagerly.
Amara was taken aback by his enthusiasm.
"Why are you so excited? Don't tellyou're enjoying the . Just remember, I'm not paying you for this!"
Amara had never considered Keith having feelings for her, reckoning he was solely in for the Everly family's
haplessness; she teased him rolling her eyes on the other end.
Keith didn't bother to explain. He just chuckled and assured her of his support before hanging up.
That evening, Keith returned from an event and headed straight to Amara's place.
