When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362 The Dark Past That Must Never Be Revealed

Jean nearly blacked out when she saw the message.

She knew it. Now that her secret identity was out, Winston was bound to start digging up the past.

Back then, in order to earn some “extra cash,” she had deliberately downloaded the game and gotten close. to Winston…
