Chapter 213 Let Them Off the Hook
When Sophia posted this message, the neighbors started asking about the situation.
Sophia waited until everyone had almost finished asking before she spoke.
[Dear neighbors, actually, I was also at fault when this incident started. That day, my brother was very sick, seriously ill. I was rushing back to take him to the hospital and didn't have time to find a parking spot, so I parked in the spot of the owner of 15-301.
Later, the male owner of that house came back and called me to move my car. Although my brother was in bad shape at the time, I politely told him I would be down in a few minutes, but he called a tow truck and had my car towed away.
I took my brother downstairs to go to the hospital, but when we got to the parking lot, I couldn't find the car anywhere. My brother was delirious from the illness, and since we were young, Dianne and I have depended on each other. We siblings value each other the most. In a fit of anger, I indeed did something irrational and scratched their car.
I regretted it immediately, but because I have severe depression, patients with this illness can't control their emotions when it flares up. I wanted to apologize and compensate them, but I couldn't find their contact information. After my brother got a bit better, he personally went to their door to apologize, but they called the police and had him arrested.
It's been more than ten days now, and I still can't see my brother. I know the other party is very powerful, not someone an ordinary tenant like me can afford to offend, but Dianne is truly innocent. He went to plead and offer compensation; how could he be a bad person?
I beg the owner of 15-301 to show some leniency, considering I had to take care of a sick family member and that Dianne and I have depended on each other for so many years. Please forgive my impulsive act. I indeed have severe depression, which is why I did that. Please be merciful.]
After Sophia posted this message, the group was silent for a long time.
The people who were gossiping and asking questions at the beginning didn't say a word.
After all, the issue of parking spots had caused several arguments in the community group before.
No one wanted to get involved in trouble.
Seeing no one responding to her, Sophia sent a message to Bobby.
Bobby had been added to the group by Sophia last night, along with several actors he had hired. They all began posting messages in the chat, backing her up.
[The young girl knows she was wrong and is willing to compensate. There were indeed special circumstances. Having a sick family member is tough for anyone! Calling a tow truck was a bit much! What if there was an emergency? This is a matter of life and death!]
[I deeply understand the pain of depression! I also came out of severe depression. Sometimes, you really can't control yourself and end up doing the wrong thing, but we regret it more than anyone else afterward! We wish those pains would fall on us instead.]
[Is the owner of 15-301 in the group? This young girl is really upset and anxious about the situation. I understand you're frustrated, but couldn't you find it in your heart to accept her apology? We all face challenges sometimes. As neighbors in the same building, shouldn't we try to be understanding of each other? Would you please reconsider and let her brother off the hook this time?]
As soon as these actors spoke, they put the original victims, Luna and Charles, under the blame-the-victim theory.
Some people in the group felt that those few people spoke in a weird and sarcastic tone, but they were afraid of being attacked, so they didn't say anything.
Just when Sophia was feeling smug, a Facebook user named OldSoul spoke up.
