Chapter 779 Misunderstandings Are Sour
After the elderly woman sent a voice message to the owner group, several other owners started
expressing their opinions.
Some tried to persuade everyone, saying, "It''s not right for them to be running around during break
time. We have to work tomorrow! Let''s try to understand each other!"
Others showed empathy, stating, "The most annoying ones don''t even consider the fact that children
are living in the building! In the past, I had noisy neighbors upstairs who would curse at others in the
middle of the night. Selfish runts, just because they can afford a vi, doesn''t mean they can act
however they want! Nobody cares if they jump around like that!"
The owner on the 15th floor raised suspicions, asking, "Are you sure it''s the 17th floor...? I heard the
noiseing from the 16th floor."
Simrly, the owner on the 8th floor was puzzled,menting, "Is the soundproofing that bad? How
can the noise from the 17th floor affect the 15th floor? This must be extremely noisy!"
The elderly woman responded angrily through her voice message, scolding the 15th and 8th floors,
"Are you siding with the 17th floor? They don''t even know you when they first moved in. You''re siding
with them because of their wealth aren''t you?"
The owner on the 15th floor became infuriated.
There had been a long-standing grudge between the 15th floor and the elderly woman on the 16th
floor. Even before the 17th floor became vacant, the elderly woman''s family had been troubled by the
noise from the 16th floor.
Late at night, it was clear that it was the family from the 15th floor who caused disturbances by ying
with a ball.
However, the elderly woman was boisterous, and whenever they tried to reason with her, they were
scolded and forced to back down, leaving them with no choice but to endure their anger.
Bettany also witnessed themotion in the group and was familiar with the situation involving the
elderly woman on the 16th floor.
Once, when she and Margaret went out to buy groceries, the elderly woman intentionally approached
them and asked what kind of vegetables they were purchasing.
Upon seeing that Bettany and Margaret were buyingrge lobsters, the elderly woman made a snide
remark, saying, "Elderly people shouldn''t consume seafood. It can increase the risk of gout."
Typically, Margaret would go out to buy a significant amount of vegetables, and the elderly woman
assumed she was a rtive. Consequently, she confronted them with a sarcasticment, "Why are
you buying groceries for this family? Isn''t that someone else''s responsibility?"
Margaret exined that she was their helper responsible for cooking at home and taking care of both
Bettany and Lilly. This statement further fueled the elderly woman''s bitterness, causing her to exim,
"Oh, you hired a helper. You must be from a wealthy family."
The elderly woman believed that the term "wealthy family" would serve as a mockery of the Crawford
family. Little did she know that the Crawford family was wealthy.
Margaret ignored her, which fueled the elderly woman''s anger even more.
Bettany maintained a serious expression, as she was preupied with her concerns for Lilly these
days and had no desire to quarrel.
However, at that particr moment, her interest was suddenly piqued, and she felt the need to take a
more serious approach.
The Crawford Mansion in Alfornada was quite extensive, with neighbors being separated by ake, so
conflicts were less likely to happen.
Bettany felt a tinge of excitement and anticipation. She opened the group chat and handed the phone
to Hugh, saying, "You should start a live streamter! Oh, and remember to record the screen!"
Hugh took the phone with a speechless expression and replied, "You''re still so spirited even in your
seventies. Why do you get so fired up?"
Bettany gave him a disdainful look and retorted, "If you have nothing to say, then keep quiet!"
Hugh chuckled and touched his nose.
Observing that Lilly, ke, Lisa, and Drake had all joined the discussion, Bettany made a gesture for
everyone to be quiet.
Despite her childish words, Bettany disyed a conniving nature in her actions.
Meanwhile, the knocking on the door persisted.
The elderly woman noticed that the live broadcast was being aired in the group, causing her to knock

politely.
Bettany, with a stern expression, forcefully swung the door open. The elderly woman''s hand almost hit
Bettany''s face.
The elderly woman momentarily froze, then said, "You''re all here, perfect timing! There''s something I
need to discuss."
Bettany emanated a strong presence, her eyes piercing, and her face devoid of any expression. She
coldly asked, "What is it?"
The elderly woman was taken aback and hesitated for a moment. She nervously crossed her arms and
stammered, "Y-you... your children were running around in the middle of the night..."
Bettany sneered, "And?"
The elderly woman was once again taken aback, unable to muster her anger.
Look, how arrogant and impolite wealthy people are! Theyck manners!
Her children were running around and still didn''t know what they did wrong.
This was the perfect opportunity to showcase the quality of their household to the other owners in the
group. It made sense to start a live broadcast!
The group chat exploded with outrage, as they realized that the situation on the 17th floor was
unreasonable.
The elderly woman ced her hands on her hips, disying her strength, and eximed, "So what?
We still need to sleep while your family is awake! Your children were making noise and ying ball in
the middle of the night. How shameless!"
Bettany coldly stared at her and retorted, "How would you know that you saw our children running
around? Are you just basing it on the voice note you sent to the group? You created the disturbance
yourself and recorded it, didn''t you!?"
Bettany''s fierce response generated dissatisfaction among the sympathetic individuals in the group.
"The 17th floor is being unreasonable! Shouldn''t they apologize?" one person eximed.
"I can''t believe it... the residents on the 17th floor have such low quality?" another personmented.
"Running around and ying ball in the middle of the night, and they dare to be so aggressive. There''s
a negligent parent behind every misbehaving child!" someone else chimed in.
Lilly gazed at the elderly woman, perplexed by what was happening.
However, all she sensed was a ghost hovering over the woman.
If Master were here, he would raise an eyebrow and exim, "Is this even possible?"
