“We also checked Gale’s side. She said you often caused sounds late at night, and she only used this way because she couldn’t stand it anymore.”
“And she also said you made especially strong sounds last night.”
I stood completely speechless.
“Because of her, my whole place is carpeted. I have never made even a tiny sound at home. Last night I only went to the toilet and flushed once, how could that turn into such a big scene…”
“Enough, enough!”
Cornelius interrupted me, annoyed.
“Gale has lived here for many years, and she’s also my cousin. I know what kind of person she is; she wouldn’t cause trouble without a reason.”
“You’re young and just arrived here, try to think more about people who have lived here a long time. Try not to get up at night. The sound of flushing really is very loud.”
I went fully quiet.
No wonder Gale acted with no fear at all.
And no wonder the manager was taking her side so openly.
So it turned out they were relatives!
My expression turned cold.
“So, what you mean is, your property management isn’t going to handle her using a vibration device against me?”
Cornelius answered slowly, sounding careless.
“It isn’t that we’re not handling it; it’s that there is no way to handle it.”
“In my view, you should think about yourself too. When needed, just bow your head a little. After all, one hand cannot make a sound alone.”
I looked at him, didn’t argue anymore, turned around, and walked out of the property office.
Gale’s vibration device ran without stopping for a full three days.
I am an online story writer and need a calm place to think and work.
With her making such loud trouble, not only could I not rest well, but my work was completely ruined, too.
I tried to call the police, but whenever they showed up, she would either throw tantrums, roll on the ground, and act shamelessly, or pretend to be sick and cry about being treated unfairly.
When she truly had no other option, she would briefly turn off the vibration device.
Once the police left, she would switch it on again.
She even mocked me on purpose with a proud expression.
“If you have the nerve, let the police protect you for the rest of your life! If you don’t have that kind of power, then move out!”
Move out?
Fine!
Just don’t regret it later!
That same day, I moved out of my home, checking into a nearby hotel.
Then I called my younger sister, who was rushing toward the college entrance exam.
