People Branded Her Mistress When She Actually Was Not

<.Two hours ago at Seven Swans Restaurant.>

"Lili, there's something... I've kept from you. I know Cassia wouldn't want me to tell you but, you have the right to know."

Albert's voice was ladened with a trace of guilt and worry, confusing Liliana.

Was it something that her mother kept secret from her? Surely, it wouldn't be related to the Ding family, right?

Putting down the chopstick, Liliana asked in curiosity, "Second Uncle, are you sure to tell me? You've said yourself that Mom wouldn't want me to know."

Despite having question marks due to what Albert had just said, Liliana was still thinking rationally. There should be a reason why her mother hid that something from her.

Albert's expression was grim. Exhaling a sigh, he explained, "You need to know this, Lili. I've always been against hiding it from you but, Cassia and Thomas insisted."
