The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 256 Who The Hell

Thiago wrapped up his work at both studios and glanced at his watch. It was well past ten in the evening. He

grabbed his suit jacket from the back of the chair and left, carrying the weight of a long day on his shoulders.

At a nearby street stall, he bought two sandwiches. He figured Ellie might still be up, and they could share a midnight snack.

woman with silver hair stood nearby in satin sleepwear. Her glare could have cut through steel.

Tori studied him. He was sharply dressed and holding a bag. He moved like someone who belonged here. And

Thiago's sharp gaze softened as he thought of something. "You must be the housekeeper Ellie hired," he said.

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