Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 134

She touched her burning cheek, staring in disbelief at Amara. "Did you just slap me?"

"Yes, I did hit you!"

Amara hadn't wanted to get into it, but Liliana's twisted logic and accusations pushed her over the edge.

"Let me ask you, what is my marriage with Finnian? Is it a real marriage or just a contract? If it's a real marriage, then Finnian was the one who cheated on me first. He is the guiltiest one, and not just that, he even had a kid with the other woman.

I didn't make a fuss about him having an illegitimate child out there, so why is he throwing a fit about me seeing someone else? And if it’s a contract, then we each go our own way, no interference. Even if I have someone else, so what? What’s it to you? Double standards much, huh? Don’t you feel ashamed when you spout those words?"

Amara's words flowed without pause, and as she finished, applause erupted from the people around them. They exclaimed, "Yes, well said!"

"Another mistress trying to flaunt in front of the wife, huh? Serves her right!"

Amara was taken aback and looked around instinctively. A small group of twenty and thirty-somethings had gathered nearby, looking at her with admiration.

Their little drama had made quite a commotion, drawing a few people’s attention. Although these onlookers didn’t often surf the Net or know Amara or Liliana personally, their exchange painted a vivid picture of a scandalous drama: a glamorous mistress involved with the opulent husband was having a showdown with the wronged wife, who had an affair with another man.

In their interaction, Amara's logical argument stood strong while Liliana's faltered, and the sensible crowd naturally sided with Amara. Seeing Amara slap Liliana felt like justice, and they applauded enthusiastically.
