"..."
Melody Summers finished reading the group chat, her brow furrowing tighter and tighter.
This "4-1604 CloudSeeker" had to be Zella Kane!
It seemed she had flown into a rage after being refused the apartment and had run to the group chat to spread these rumors.
She wanted to stir things up and let all the owners in The Metropolis Residences know that Apartment 1606 had food.
Thankfully, Crystal Lynch and Joyce Lawson had jumped in to help, derailing the conversation. Otherwise, who knows how much it would have escalated...
Melody clutched her phone, muttering, "The Kane family is truly disgusting..."
She thought for a moment, then found the property manager Tate’s account and sent him a message:
["Tate, I’m no longer renting out Apartment 4-1604. I’m willing to pay the tenant the penalty for breaking the lease as stipulated in the contract. Please come by tomorrow and help me contact the tenant to terminate the agreement."]
Melody hadn’t wanted to bother with the Kane family, but since they had started trouble, she wasn’t going to show them any courtesy.
The Kanes were malicious. Leaving them here was a liability, so it was better to kick them out sooner rather than later.
As for Titus Lowell in 1603... his comments in the group chat had also been outrageous recently. Although he had only stuck to verbal threats so far, Melody wasn’t going to let him stay either.
Fortunately, Titus Lowell was on a one-month short-term lease, with only about twenty days left on the contract. So, Melody sent another message to Tate:
["I’m not planning to renew the lease for 1603 either. Please inform the tenant and tell him to move out when the lease ends!"]
After sending the messages, Melody glanced at the group chat again. Since the topic had already passed, she decided not to explain herself in the chat. It was better to stay silent for now and avoid attracting any more attention.
Just in case, Melody thought it over and decided to show the group chat history to her whole family.
After reading the chat history, everyone was furious.
Colin Summers slammed his hand on the table angrily and scolded, "Is there something wrong with Caleb’s mother-in-law’s family? This is just malicious! How could they say those things in the group chat?"
Grace Sutton, however, laughed in fury. She snorted coldly and said, "Haven’t you figured it out yet? It’s because we wouldn’t lend them the apartment, so they decided to retaliate like this! That family is truly crooked!"
Her grandmother stared worriedly at the chat logs on the screen, repeatedly reading them. "What are we going to do?" she asked, her face etched with concern. "Everyone in the group knows we have supplies now. Will they come to our door and try to rob us of our food?"
Melody comforted her grandmother. "Grandma, don’t worry. It probably won’t happen for now. Order in our community has been relatively stable, and the police and property management are very responsible. If they tried to rob us, the police wouldn’t let them get away with it. They wouldn’t dare take that risk."
Right now, everyone could get free sand vine cakes. As long as they behaved, they wouldn’t starve to death.
But if they were to commit a home invasion, under the current laws, there’s a high probability they would be shot on sight.
The community’s order hadn’t collapsed yet, and criminals weren’t idiots. It’s not worth risking their lives for a bite of food.
Just in case, Melody still warned Colin Summers and Winnie Summers, "Our doors and windows are reinforced, so an ordinary person can’t break in. As long as we don’t go out, we’ll be fine. But Mom, and you, Uncle, have to go to the supply distribution point for work every day. You need to be careful and make sure no one follows you!"
