You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 462

Nina? I’ve only met her twice and honestly, she doesn’t seem all that bright.

“Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden? She’s just pretending to be clueless, and you all actually believe she’s the real deal?”

Their gossip lasted until midnight.

The three of them had planned to party all night, but after a feast of rumors, they stumbled out of the club more stunned than satisfied.

Sara climbed into the backseat, leaning over the front to hug the driver’s seat. “Seriously, when did Nina get smart all of a sudden?”

Roger started the car, glancing in the rearview mirror. “She’s got someone pulling strings for her.”

“Who?” Sara pressed.

Roger and Sara locked eyes for a second, but then looked away at the same time, like they’d silently agreed not to say it out loud.

Sara couldn’t figure it out, so after a moment she shook Colton’s arm. “Come on, just tell me!”

“Aunt Patricia! Seriously, Sara, connect the dots.”

Sara stared at him. “Wait, but Aunt Patricia and Nina are barely on speaking terms. Why would Patricia help her?”

“Who said she’s helping Nina? Aunt Patricia just wants Joseph to pay.”

“You know what, forget it. No point explaining it to you. Figure it out yourself.”

That night, the three of them ended up at a late-night spa and didn’t bother going home.

The next morning, at breakfast in Cloud Peak.

Patricia glanced at the empty seats, still not used to the quiet.

She looked at Oliver, a hint of worry in her voice. “They really didn’t come home last night?”

Oliver peeled a hard-boiled egg and set it in her bowl. “Nope, they stayed out.”
