บททั้งหมดของ My Malicious Neighbors: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

The air felt still for several seconds.Shirley Lambert shrieked, "What's wrong with you, old lady? Why are you cursing at me out of nowhere? I was just trying to look out for you since you're old and living alone, and this is how you repay my kindness?"I, Nancy Fisher, quietly watched her performance.It was plain as day what she was up to.She just thought an old woman living alone would be easy to take advantage of.I couldn't be bothered to say anything. I pointed straight at the door."Get out."Seeing I wasn't backing down, Shirley looked ready to keep causing a scene until she spotted the knife I'd grabbed from the kitchen. She immediately panicked."W-What are you doing with that knife?"Are you crazy? Think about it. You're old and all alone. Someday you're going to need young people like us to help you."A good neighbor is a present help. If you let my son use this place as his playroom, wouldn't he be just like your grandson?"With the addition of a grandson, you

The group chat went wild instantly.Unit 502 wrote in.[@Unit 202 Have you completely lost your mind? Are you trying to scam money out of other tenants now?]Unit 902 chimed in.[Since there are security cameras, check the footage. If that's not available, call property management. Why are you acting crazy in the group chat? @Unit 202]Right after that, Shirley spammed several sixty-second voice messages.I didn't even need to play them to know they were probably packed with profanity and screeching.Suddenly, Unit 101's tenant, the guy who lived downstairs, suddenly joined the conversation.[Who else could it be? Your neighbor is Unit 201. It's definitely that old lady! We all use the elevator. Who takes the stairs for no reason? @Unit 201, get in here already. Don't make the rest of us take the blame.]Unit 101 belonged to a nearly forty-year-old single man who used to constantly report me to property management for making too much noise and disturbing his rest.Even when I

We arrived at the parking lot.I brought Mike over to his family's SUV.He was still holding the utility knife he'd grabbed on the way out. It was the one I had left in the entryway to open packages."Old hag, you broke my sword last time. This makes us even."He insisted on taking it.That suited me just fine.Mike glanced around the packed parking lot and pouted unhappily."This is boring! What's even fun about this place?"Completely calm, I pulled out my phone in a blind spot away from the security cameras and showed him a video of another child drawing on cars with chalk.Whenever I'd run into Shirley in the hallway before, I'd noticed several art sketches sticking out of Mike's backpack.Honestly, they weren't bad.I guessed Mike liked drawing.Sure enough, that piqued his interest immediately."They're pretty good, but–"I deliberately challenged him. "You probably don't know how to draw. I bet you're not even capable of drawing anything that nice.""Who says I ca

I silently looked at Mike.He impatiently shook off his mother's hand."As if! That old hag has no right to boss me around."Mom, are you losing it? Didn't you say the whole world belongs to us?"If I want to draw on something, I will. It's their own fault for parking their cars on my property!"His words matched the recording almost perfectly.Property management and the vehicle owners immediately started talking.At this point, it wasn't just about an unruly child anymore. This was the direct result of terrible parenting.After all, like mother, like son.Property management had already learned that lesson on the family's very first day moving in.Back then, Mike insisted on climbing a tree in the park and ended up falling out of it. Shirley immediately demanded ten thousand dollars in compensation from property management.She questioned why the apartment complex even had trees. Dangerous objects like that shouldn't exist anywhere within a child's line of sight.Apart fr

Close to noon, I placed a DoorDash order for Unit 101After the delivery driver knocked, a voice I knew all too well came from inside."There must be some mistake. I didn't order this."The driver double-checked the order and confirmed the address was correct.The person inside happily accepted the food anyway.That greedy tone combined with the voice itself made me instantly certain. She had to be Shirley.I immediately called the police.When they arrived, the truth finally came out.Unit 101's tenant was actually Shirley's distant cousin. They'd hidden their relationship extremely well.Since Unit 101's tenant held a grudge against me, Shirley had always acted especially arrogantly toward me. It wasn't just her personality. She'd also been helping her cousin get revenge.Unfortunately for her, she insisted on provoking me until things spiraled out of control.After ending up in massive debt, her cousin proposed a plan to get revenge and make a fortune at the same time.
