?Chapter 468:


    Lately, Ellie had beenining about their packed schedules. No one was cleaning, looking after Patrick, or cooking. She had mentioned hiring a housekeeper.


    “Housekeeper? I am not the housekeeper!” Tori shouted, hurling the slipper at Thiago in fury.


    Though experienced in fighting, Thiago wouldn’t raise a hand against an older woman. He stepped back toward the doorway and gently caught her wrist to stop her. “Then who are you?”


    To Tori, Thiago had to be the man Ellie had been involved with.


    She was angry, convinced Ellie hadn’t be rich because of her job. She thought Ellie had gotten rich by messing around with several men, relying on them for money.


    Tori eximed in anger, “I should be asking you the same question! What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”


    Hearing themotion, Ellie stepped out of the bedroom in her pajamas. Her damp hair clung to her shoulders. She had just gotten out of the shower.


    “Mom, stop!” Ellie shouted. A headache wasing on as she saw what was unfolding. She hadpletely forgotten to tell Thiago that her family was here.


    Thiago had recently gone on a business trip, and she had been busy with work. That was why she hadn’t informed him about the situation.


    She hadn’t expected such a misunderstanding to ur.


    Ellie pulled Thiago inside and shut the door behind them.


    Tori’s anger red at the sight of Ellie. Then, at the top of her lungs, she screamed, “You better start talking! Who is this man? How many are you messing with? You shameless girl!”


    Leif and Hank quickly emerged from their rooms. Both were stunned at the sight of the well-dressed man standing in the middle of the living room. Hank shot Ellie a sly thumbs-up, impressed by her apparent sess innding yet another rich man.


    His mind raced— which one of these men was Patrick’s real father?

    Theplexity of his sister’s love life amused Hank. He leaned against the wall, thoroughly enjoying the drama.


    Meanwhile, Leif’s face darkened like a storm. Jabbing a finger at Thiago, he snapped at Ellie, “Who is this man?”


    “Everyone, just calm down,” Ellie said, trying to steady her voice. “This is my boyfriend, Thiago Moreno.”


    As she spoke, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.


    Leif’s eyebrows knitted together. “Then what is your rtionship with Jayceon? I’m getting confused.”


    The idea that his daughter might be sleeping around filled him with shame.


    Ellie took a steady breath and exined, “Jayceon is Patrick’s father. We broke up seven years ago. He’s been pestering me to get back together with him, but there’s nothing between us. Thiago is my boyfriend. We made it officialst month. He’s been looking out for me in Norview these past few years.”
