You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 890

“Where did you get all that money? Did you win the lottery or something?” Jackson eyed her up and down, like he was checking if she’d grown an extra head. He clearly didn’t believe a word of it.

Chelsea wasn’t exactly broke, but she was nowhere near rich either. Maggie kept her on a tight budget, probably because she’d seen too many rich kids go off the rails with too much cash. Chelsea’s allowance was just enough for a comfortable life, but not enough to get into trouble.

Chelsea clenched her jaw. “Fine. I’ll add another half a million.”
