You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 284

Patricia hovered in the doorway of the interrogation room, watching as Kelly got pinned down on the table like a wild animal cornered with nowhere to run.

The glare Kelly shot her was pure fury, all teeth and desperation. She looked like a mother wolf fighting with everything she had, refusing to give in, trying to tear her way out.

Would Patricia leave her to it? Not a chance.

She was here to help the police, to poke at Kelly just enough to make her snap, to tip the scales in their favor. Kelly had to pay for what she’d done. That was why Patricia had come.

If she’d stayed away, Kelly would’ve kept up her act—the perfectly composed, high-society wife who never lost her cool, not even when the police came knocking. But with Patricia here, that calm exterior shattered. The claws came out, the mask dropped, and everyone could finally see what was underneath.

“It’s you, isn’t it, Patricia?” Kelly spit out, voice trembling with rage. “You set me up. You made me kill Greg.”

The two detectives holding her down froze, shock flickering across their faces before they let go of her arms. Just like that, the tension in the air broke.

Kelly caught Patricia’s smirk, the mocking shake of her head, and then—just to twist the knife—a single middle finger.

That was when it hit Kelly. She’d been played. Patricia had led her right into this.

Everything went quiet for a second. Then Kelly’s knees buckled and she crashed to the floor.

The ambulance screamed up to the entrance, hauling Kelly off to the hospital in a blur of flashing lights.

Brandon and his partner stood by the hospital doors, blocking the Newton family from getting in. Outside, reporters crowded the sidewalk. Brandon hadn’t expected the press to show up so fast.

Maybe, in spite of all the drama, there was still some real love left in that family.

“Sorry, you’ll need proper clearance before you can go inside,” Brandon said, keeping his voice strictly business. “Nothing’s been decided yet.”
