You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 816

“What a coincidence. Want to come up for a coffee?”

“With them?” Ruby’s lips curled into a soft, teasing smile.

Wendy looked lost. “Who do you mean?”

Ruby just gazed at her without saying a word. That look alone sent a chill down Wendy’s spine.

Her fingers tightened around the strap of her purse, then loosened again after a moment.

“Ruby, if something’s wrong, you know you can tell me…”

“There is something wrong.” Ruby nodded, her tone gentler now. “But I’m not sure if you can help.”

“I’ll do whatever I can.”

“I need money. Twenty million.” Ruby didn’t bother with small talk.

Wendy froze at the number. She looked like she’d just been slapped.

“Ruby, you know…” She didn’t even need to finish. Twenty million? No girl from a rich family ever really had that kind of money at her fingertips.

It was different for sons. Daughters always had to watch what they spent.

Before marriage, maybe she’d get a monthly allowance. Or a few properties in her name before the wedding, just so no one could say the family favored boys over girls.

But twenty million in cash? That was impossible.

Back when she and Ruby hung out, Ruby was always the one paying.

Emerson and Tina only had one daughter. No sons. Ruby was basically famous in their circle for being loaded. For her, twenty million used to be nothing. For Wendy, it was everything.
