Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 866

Chapter 866: Shouldn’t be surprising

"Miss President and even Nina aren’t comfortable with your presence. Please leave."

"That’s right!" another man remarked. "It doesn’t matter if you have the ticket or not. I don’t think having you here is good."

"We’ve all been working and helping each other before everyone starts coming. However, since you arrived, we all have to stop and delay our work."

"Just leave, Patricia. Go help your brother and the Miller family recover from their losses."

Patricia arched a brow, turning her head toward Jonathan and the other men standing nearby. Her face twisted in displeasure, especially when someone mentioned her good-for-nothing brother and their company losses. As if she cared about that.

"I know them..." she said, sliding her finger across the men until it settled on Jonathan. "... but I don’t know you. Who are you?"

Jonathan straightened his back and sighed. "I’m just nobody."

"I know you are," Patricia scoffed, ignoring the men as she shifted her gaze back to the women. "How is it my fault that you’re delaying your work? I only came here to say my greetings, but everyone is overreacting!"

Lily clenched her teeth, balling her hands into tight fists. "Patricia, did you come here just to twist everything and provoke everyone?"

"How is it provoking? I haven’t even said a word, but here you all are, hounding me just because of her!" Patricia hissed, glaring at Nina. "If someone is making someone uncomfortable, it’s Nina. She’s making me uncomfortable."

This time, Jonathan stepped forward until he was standing a step from Patricia. "Miss, that’s enough."

"Huh?" Patricia arched a brow, looking up at Jonathan. Unlike before, when he had looked polite, he now appeared displeased.

Deep lines appeared between Patricia’s brows as she darted her eyes between Nina and Jonathan. After a brief moment, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

"Patricia, if you’re here, then... I’ll just leave—" Nina stopped when Patricia suddenly laughed.

"Oh, my god!" Patricia clapped her hands, looking at Nina and Jonathan with amusement. "You two... don’t tell me... wow! Nina, you moved on fast!"

"Patricia, what are you on about now?!" Lily yelled.

"You better shut up," Yuri warned, but Patricia ignored her.

Patricia had come to cause trouble and, of course, for the money she could get from it. She’d learned long ago—right after the charity event—that since her good-for-nothing family was slowly losing their game, the people she had called friends were all useless.

Patricia only had herself to maintain a lavish lifestyle. So, even if she had to be the villain, she would do it. Besides, causing trouble for Nina wasn’t all that bad. She hated Nina from the bottom of her heart, so if there was a chance to stir trouble for her, Patricia would happily do so. Not only would she be able to torment Nina—the very first person who had betrayed her—but she’d earn from it too.

"Mr. Nobody." Patricia snapped her eyes at Jonathan. "It seems you care for Nina... Have you heard that she just broke up with her ex-fiance? I don’t want to say it, but Nina shouldn’t have brought you here. I mean, people might mistake or misunderstand that she left her long-time fiance for another man."

"Patricia!" This time, Nina raised her voice and stepped forward. "Don’t put malice in my relationship with Mr. Russel. If you came here to stir trouble for me, don’t drag others into it."
