You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 21

“Ms. Miller, so you’re really fine being the other woman, huh?”

“Mr. Miller, you’re just going to stand by and watch your own sister wreck her life like this?”

“If being a homewrecker was illegal, you’d be her accomplice!”

With just a few biting comments, Chelsea turned the tension in the elevator up to eleven.

Everyone listening in quickly pieced the story together. Joseph knew Theo was married, but still let Nina chase after him. And tonight—just their luck—the wife caught them red-handed.

This was the kind of drama even gossip blogs wouldn’t dare make up. But here it was, playing out right in front of them.

Scandalous didn’t even begin to cover it.

Chelsea wasn’t even part of their usual crowd—she had the whole Parsons family behind her, and her dad was some big shot in the military. No way would any of them dare mess with her directly.

They wouldn’t do anything, but that didn’t mean they were rattled.

Joseph’s face stayed cool, casual. He shot Chelsea a lazy look. “You keep calling her a homewrecker. Got any proof?”

“Oh, please. Anyone with eyes can see what’s happening. Who else clings to someone else’s husband like that? Zero boundaries. Is she clueless or just desperate?”

Did they really think everyone else in here was an idiot?

This was exactly why Patricia had said she wanted a divorce. If she hadn’t, Chelsea would’ve shredded this whole group without a second thought.

The elevator kept descending, and the gossip hanging in the air turned into bold, unashamed staring.

Joseph couldn’t be bothered to argue with Chelsea anymore. Instead, he turned to Patricia. “So you’re just gonna let people talk about your husband and another woman like that? Nothing to say?”

Wasn’t Patricia always the one who cared most about her reputation? And now she was just letting people throw dirt on her name?
