Called Me Greedy, Now They Beg Chapter 12
Mr. Evans let out a sigh. "That's right. People are never satisfied. Once they get used to someone else's sacrifices, they start taking them for granted."It's only after they lose something that they realize how precious it was. Too bad they don't understand that until it's too late."After chatting with Mr. Evans for a little while longer, I headed back to my apartment with my suitcase.…Life continued moving forward at its own steady pace. The tensions in the apartment complex didn't ease just because I'd come back. Packages kept getting mixed up, deliveries regularly went missing, neighbors insisted that Carmen be responsible for holding everyone else's parcels, and no one wanted to help carry heavy items. The same problems repeated themselves day after day. Eventually, some of the residents couldn't take it anymore. They got together once again and came to my door for the third time, hoping to persuade me to take over. This time, they even offered to pool their money

Mrs. Thompson let out a sigh and said in a low voice, "Things have been absolute chaos around here lately. We know we were in the wrong. "We never should have said those hurtful things and blamed you for something you didn't do. Now, picking up packages and running errands has become such a hassle. Everyone's been regretting it ever since."I didn't respond and simply gave a slight nod. Whether they regretted it or not was their business. Either way, it wasn't going to make me change my mind. "The truth is, nobody meant to single you out. Carmen just turned us against you," Mrs. Thompson continued, still trying to explain. "If you ever have a spare moment, could you—""Mrs. Thompson," I interrupted. "There's no point bringing up the past anymore. Everyone makes their own decisions, and everyone has to live with the consequences. I'm leaving for a trip, so I'd better get going."Having said my piece, I headed straight for the entrance of the complex with my suitcase in hand. Be

Both Carmen and the kid's mother insisted they were right. Before long, the entire apartment complex had heard about the argument. On top of that, hauling large deliveries upstairs quickly became a sore spot for everyone. Mrs. Thompson had trouble getting around and had ordered bulk groceries online—bags of flour, everyday pantry goods, and several cases of bottled water.After the delivery was left downstairs, the boxes piled up in the hallway, making it nearly impossible to get through. Swallowing her pride, Mrs. Thompson went to ask Carmen for help. Carmen took one look at the massive load and turned her down without a second thought. "It's too heavy. I can't carry it. You'll have to figure something else out."Angry and anxious, Mrs. Thompson had no choice but to move everything herself, one small load at a time. It took her most of the day just to drag everything to the stairwell.She was older and out of shape, so the exhausting work left her completely out of breath.

Even when Carmen worked from dawn until noon, it was nearly impossible to sort every package properly. Residents were forced to dig through the piles themselves whenever they came to pick up their packages. Sometimes, they'd spend 15 minutes searching and still couldn't find their packages. Frustration continued to build, and missing packages became more and more common. What had begun with inexpensive items gradually escalated to expensive clothing, household goods, and even important contract documents.Every time something went missing, the owner immediately went to Carmen, demanding an explanation. At first, she tried to defend herself. She insisted that she was only doing it as a favor and wasn't responsible for covering the losses. However, the residents weren't having any of it. They kept comparing her to me. They talked about how I used to handle things and called her irresponsible. "When Hilary handled the packages, things hardly ever went missing. If something did

When the residents realized I wasn't going to budge, their faces fell. Some of them hung their heads in defeat and turned to leave. However, a few refused to give up. They lingered where they stood as they kept trying to wear me down. They wouldn't stop saying nice things, hoping that I'd change my mind. "Hilary, please… Just help us one more time. One last time, okay?" one of them pleaded. "Honestly, we're not used to this. We waste so much time looking for our packages every day."Yet, my face gave nothing away. If I gave in once, there would only be countless more demands afterward. I'd learned that lesson over seven long years. After a long standoff and after they realized I wasn't going to give in, the crowd outside finally began to disperse. Carmen was the last to leave. She glared at me, her eyes brimming with resentment. She had believed that rallying everyone to pressure me would force me to compromise. Instead, she got nowhere, and this meant she'd still have t

I replied evenly, "Whether I'm busy or not is none of your business. I have my own work and my own plans. Right now, I just want to focus on living my life. I'm under no obligation to keep paying the price for your laziness and selfishness. "The parcel pickup point is only a ten-minute walk from here. If someone has trouble getting around, they can take their time, and anyone with a busy work schedule can plan ahead."I continued, "You've always had options. There's no reason to expect someone to keep sacrificing their own time just to make your lives easier.""Ten minutes is too far. At my age, I can't walk that far anymore," someone in the crowd muttered. Another said, "It used to be so convenient. We could just go downstairs and pick up our packages. Now, she's making us go ourselves. That's so inconsiderate."The complaints started all over again. None of them seemed willing to reflect on themselves. In their eyes, I was simply being heartless. The way they saw it, other p
