You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 806

Jackson gave it a few more tries, but it was clear he wouldn’t get anything else out of him. He just said, “Take care,” and got back in the car.

The black van pulled away, disappearing into the swirling snow.

“I asked, but he kept quiet. He’s still holding something back.”

“We’ll find out soon enough. Start by digging into Travis’s competitors.”

“And check out Cecilia too. I really don’t buy that this was just a coincidence.”

Jackson just nodded, eyes downcast.

Outside, snow was coming down harder, flakes swirling past the window. Winter hit Riverdale so fast, nobody even had a chance to brace themselves.

On the road to Cloud Peak, Patricia’s phone buzzed. It was Oliver. His voice came through, warm and calm. “The snow’s coming down. Are you home yet?”

“Still on the way.”

“Alright. Take your time, don’t rush.”

They chatted for a bit, mostly Oliver asking and Patricia answering. He wanted to know if she was feeling alright, then what she wanted for dinner.

After she replied, Patricia said, “Mr. Padilla, someone came to see me earlier. He said Pacific Capital is planning to buy his company.”

Up on the top floor of Pacific Capital, Oliver was about to shut down his computer and call it a night. He froze when he heard her.

A shadow crossed his face. Why would they drag his wife into this mess?

“How did he find you?”
