Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 142

Liliana grew up in a family struggling to make ends meet. Her parents were both blue-collar workers, and over the years, she'd been determined to climb the social ladder, enduring hardships most people couldn't imagine.

Then there was Amara, born with a silver spoon. She seemed to get everything without lifting a finger. It was infuriating!

But when Finnian found out what Liliana had done, it made her seem so petty. She was at a loss for words.
