I was completely confused. “But this isn’t a simple conflict!”
“She attacked me on her own using a vibration device; this is against the law!”
“She seriously disrupted my normal life and threatened the safety of my home!”
Cornelius waved his hands away.
“Hey, you cannot say it like that.”
“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.
