Chapter 82: Stealing credits
Gasps erupted from the crowd once again upon hearing the ridiculous accusations and words that left his mouth. Almost everyone turned their attention to me now as they murmured among themselves, glancing over at me with judgement swirling in their eyes.
"How shameful! How could she be jumping on another so quickly?"
"Oh, I bet there is something between them all along. I didn’t expect this from someone who looks as prim and proper as she does."
A cold chuckle escaped from my lips this time. "Was it really insecurity and jealousy when I was right all along?" I challenged with a defiant glint in my eyes. "Aren’t the two of you playing house and living together?"
As soon as the words left the tip of my tongue, it was like a flip of a switch and people began to hurl insults and judgement at Blake instead.
He let out a loud scoff. "So what if I am living with her?" He snarled as his eyes grew wide with disdain. "I will have you know that my conscience is clear."
I forced the corners of my lips to curl upwards into a smile. "Is that so?" I questioned, my tone carrying a slight edge to it as I raised my brow at him.
"At least she supported me and did everything she could while I am pursuing my career and dreams. But you? You only lay around doing nothing!" He spat, each word that left his lips was dripping with venom. "Don’t pretend like you didn’t come and ruin my career for me," he sneered, his voice heavy with accusation as his eyes were narrowed into thin slits.
Tension continued to brew in the air between us as more people surrounded us with anticipation swimming in their eyes, almost as if they were watching some drama unfold right before them.
"I didn’t ruin anything for you," I said, my voice was cold and unwavering as I broke the silence. I maintained a distant look on my face. "You ruined it for yourself when you lost your temper and started physically assaulting me and accusing your own boss of adultery," I revealed, eliciting more gasps from the crowd.
The crowd broke into more murmurs once again. This time they didn’t bother hiding it or speaking softly. Instead, some older women were even pointing at him and scolding him like a mother would scold their son.
