Chapter 327 Neighbors from Hell
Eliza hadn’t expected things to line up this perfectly.
By sheer coincidence, Naomi had ended up cing Nathan and Evelyn in that very apartmentplex.
The only question was which building they were living in.
Eliza pulled out her phone and called the property management office.
Since she was the primaryndlord of several units there, the staff treated her with the utmost respect.
“Ms. Eliza,” the receptionist answered cheerfully, “are you calling to list another apartment for rent?”
“Not exactly,” Eliza said. “I actually wanted to ask you something.”
“Of course. Anything we can look into for you, just say the word.”
Eliza paused for a second, then said, “One of my tenants just called toin. Said they saw a shady- looking woman sneaking into the buildingte at night. Apparently she’s never been seen around before. Might be a thief. Can you pull the security footage for me?”
The receptionist’s tone immediately turned serious. “That would be a serious breach of our security, and I can assure you, we don’t tolerate that. I’ll review the footage right away. If she really is a thief, we’ll handle it strictly.”
“Good. Just make sure this doesn’t affect my tenants. Once you’ve got the footage, send it to me so I can check if it was in my building.”
“Absolutely, Ms. Eliza. I’ll get on it now.”
“Thanks.”
As soon as she hung up, Halbert gave her a sideways look. “You just lie like it’s nothing, huh?”
“If it’s just a lie,” Eliza said casually, “then of course ites easy.”
They waited in the car for a while. By the time they reached theplex, the property manager had already sent over a two–minute surveince clip.
Sure enough, the footage showed Naomi sneaking around like a guilty thief as she made her way inside.
A momentter, the receptionist followed up with a voice message.
“Ms. Eliza, we checked with the guards. That young woman is actually a resident. She has a keycard, though she doesn’te by often. Also, don’t worry–she’s not in your building.”
Eliza listened in silence, then asked, “She lives in Building 2, Unit 2, doesn’t she? I was actually thinking of buying there.”
The receptionist immediately perked up. “You’ve got great taste, Ms. Eliza! That building has amazing feng shui. The sixth and eighth floors are especially popr.”
Eliza knew full well the property office and the real estate developers were part of the samepany. Sales meant bonuses for the staff.

Feigning hesitation, she said, “Still, I’m a little concerned. That woman was creeping around like she didn’t even belong. I’d hate for that to affect my tenants‘ experience. Which floor is she on? I might avoid it.”
“She’s on the top floor, so don’t worry–you’ll never run into her!”
Eliza raised an eyebrow. So that’s where they were.
“In that case, let me think it over. Send me the avable unityouts and pricing for that building. I’lle by to take a look.”
“Right away! I’ll have the sales team send it over.”
“Thanks.”
She hung up. Halbert looked over and asked, “You really gonna buy another one?”
“Why not?” Eliza said. “That building’s got great privacy. If you’re not inside, you’d never know who’s living there.”
Naomi thought she could livefortably now?
Not <i>a </i><i>chance</i><i>. </i>
Just thinking about what that family had done to her in her previous life made it impossible to let them off
easy.
They really thought hiding would protect them?
She still had plenty of cards to y.
People like Nathan and Evelyn didn’t deserve peace.
Before long, the real estate office sent over the avable listings. Eliza picked the unit directly below Naomi’s and signed the purchase agreement without hesitation.
This time, she wasn’t going to let them hide anywhere.
She waited until the following morning, then personally went to the real estatepany to finalize the deal.
The sales rep beamed as he showed her around the unit.
“This is one of our smaller floor ns, but every unit here has private ess–it’s one unit per floor. That means the people above you must be very quiet. Are you nning to rent this out? I can help you find a tenant.”
“No need,” Eliza replied. “I’ve already got someone moving in this afternoon.”
“Perfect. We’ll make sure the keys are secured until then.”
Eliza nodded, then nced up toward the ceiling. “Who lives upstairs? Will they bother my tenant?”
“Not at all. That unit just sold recently to an older couple. They keep to themselves and rarely go out. I’m sure they won’t be a problem.”
Eliza gave a satisfied nod. So it really was Nathan and Evelyn living up there.
