You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 7

“What?” The girl stared in disbelief. “You’ve got some nerve! How dare you even get mixed up in this?”

“What am I supposed to be scared of? She’s just a cripple. You really think she can do anything to me?”

The Newton family already reached out to her. They promised her that if she gave them a child, she’d get to marry Oliver. That’s why she’s so desperate to get pregnant now. If she really does end up having a baby, maybe she’ll actually become Mrs. Newton.

“Turns out being pretty just isn’t enough.” Even in that wheelchair with sweat-damp hair stuck to her forehead, Patricia’s beauty was impossible to hide.

If she weren’t stuck in that chair, she would have half the men in the city falling at her feet.

“Miss, do you know that woman?” In the elevator, Jackson glanced at Patricia, who was resting with her eyes closed, and hesitated before asking.

Patricia opened her eyes slowly. The pain in them faded, and she looked clear and calm. “Oliver’s mistress.”

Jackson didn’t wear his emotions on his sleeve like Marian, but the second Patricia said that, his whole vibe shifted, cold and intense, the air growing heavy.

“Disgusting cheaters. Shameless.”

“Yeah. Completely shameless.”

Patricia was never the kind to swallow her anger. If the mistress had the guts to show up and flaunt herself, she definitely wasn’t letting it slide. “Send someone to teach her a lesson.”

“Got it.”

Back at the Newton estate, Patricia could hear raised voices as soon as she walked in. Marian was in the middle of a heated argument.

When Patricia stepped inside, she spotted a familiar housekeeper standing in the living room.

Was she here to help? Or to keep an eye on things?

“Pattie, you’re back just in time,” Marian called, sounding both annoyed and helpless. “This woman called Judy says she’s here to take over my job.”
