The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 360

“That’s what you think. It doesn’t mean Lionel shares your sentiments.” Yara approached Lia’s bed and sneered, “He only sees you as his sister. And yet, you harbor desires for him!

Once his identity is exposed, you’ll remain the princess of the Johnson family, but Lionel will fall from grace and have his world turned upside down.”

However, Lia snapped, “Lionel, how can you like her when you don’t know anything about her?”
