Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622: She might really become my sister-in-law.

There was only one reason Patricia had rushed to finish her job—and that was to continue "spying" on their new maid. She had already gotten a photo from Penny the day before, and while there was a resemblance, something didn’t quite match.

For instance, the maid had a mole on her upper cheek. But in the photo, there was none.

It was one of those cases where they "looked alike," but not exactly. And since the photo showed a younger version, it was hard to make a quick judgment.

Patricia wanted to be sure—extra sure. Which was why she was now parked outside a grocery store with Hayley.

"Uh..." Hayley, who was behind the wheel, glanced at Patricia in the passenger seat. "Patty? What are we doing?"

"Shh!" Patricia narrowed her eyes, lowering her head a little as she peered over the windshield. "We’re following our maid."

"Your maid?" Hayley tilted her head. "Why? What did she do? Did she steal something? Are you suspecting her of smuggling your groceries?"

"No." Still watching their family van parked not far from them, Patricia observed the maid stepping out of it.

"Then why?"

Patricia didn’t answer, leaving Hayley blinking in confusion.

"Pat—"

"If you want a date with my brother, just shut up first, Hayley."

Hayley immediately zipped her mouth shut and ducked behind the wheel, peeking over the dashboard.

"What are we supposed to do here? Just watch her?" she asked.

"Uh-huh," Patricia confirmed.

"Got it, sis."

The two of them sat in silence, watching as the maid walked into the grocery store. Once she was out of sight, they both straightened in their seats.

"She’s gone," Patricia remarked with a sigh.

"Are we going to leave now?"

This time, Patricia turned to Hayley. "Hayley, can’t you see I’m on a delicate mission? How can I just leave my target?"

"If you’re playing spy, you shouldn’t leave her out of your sight at all," Hayley said with a shrug. "I’m on your side."

Patricia furrowed her brows, nodding in realization. "You’re right. I can’t just wait for her here."

"See?" Hayley smirked. "Don’t forget—a date with Theo Miller."

With that, the two of them jumped out of the car, skillfully evading the family driver. Inside the grocery store, they darted into the accessory section and threw on some hats and sunglasses, tags still dangling.

Patricia and Hayley may have had different reasons for following the maid, but they were equally committed. Pressing against aisles and hiding behind other shoppers, they tailed her as quietly and "professionally" as they could.

But alas, all they saw was the maid picking out some fruits, eggs, and other ingredients before heading to the self-checkout counter.

There were no shady encounters. Nothing suspicious.

The maid simply bought her groceries, walked back to the Miller family van, and left.

Still hoping for something, Hayley and Patricia followed the van, thinking maybe the driver would stop elsewhere. But alas, the van drove straight home. Now, the two women sat in their own car, parked a few blocks from the Miller residence.

Patricia pressed her lips together, weighing her options. I promised Penny I wouldn’t tell a single soul.

Still, maybe there was a way to say something without saying everything.
