My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165

After the fire incident at Calvador Sanatorium, Liliana Benjamin’s name was constantly on everyone’s lips in high society. Of course, it always came with the added descriptor: “Harold Brayden’s mistress.”

“Just like her husband, Viscount Benjamin, she must be gifted with eloquence and nighttime talents. Who knows? Maybe Viscount Benjamin learned it all from his wife!”
