Chapter 972<\/div>\n
\u201cClive likely made a deal on the house.\u201d<\/div>\n
Since the estates were adjacent, it made sense for Clive to purchase the neighboring property and remove the fence between them to create a larger area for the Stones. This would increase the square footage of their land.<\/div>\n
The Stones had the financial resources anyway. Who could outbid Clive if he wanted the property?<\/div>\n
\u201cI can help you inquire about it now if you\u2019re interested. Just a moment.\u201d<\/div>\n
Feeling guilty for waking his best friend, Duncan thought of a way to make it up to him.<\/div>\n
That\u2019s when the Zimmers\u2019 villa came to mind.<\/div>\n
Using another phone, Duncan reached out to his source and quickly received a response: the Zimmers\u2019 villa was not on the market.<\/div>\n
Duncan had assumed the buyer was Clive, but his source was unaware of who had purchased the house, and it wasn\u2019t Clive. Clive was one step behind in acquiring the Zimmers\u2019 villa to expand his family\u2019s land, as someone else had already bought it.<\/div>\n
While the Zimmers\u2019 property was pre-owned, it offered ample space, making it highly sought after. The buyer would likely undertake a significant renovation of the structure, as Duncan had mentioned.<\/div>\n
The Zimmers held many memories in that house, but it was time for new owners to create fresh experiences.<\/div>\n
Out with the old, in with the new.<\/div>\n
Since money was no object, the new resident would spare no expense in turning their dream home into reality.<\/div>\n
Duncan responded, \u201cSee? The desirable estate is in high demand. Someone snatched it up before Clive.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWho bought it?\u201d<\/div>\n
That was quick.<\/div>\n
\u201cNo idea, but we\u2019ll find out soon.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary wasn\u2019t concerned; he owned numerous properties. For him, location was everything in real estate.<\/div>\n
He was focused on long-term investment, so\u2026<\/p>\n

He examined the neighborhood, the location, the size, and the age of the property. Zachary preferred to acquire the property in its current condition. \u201cWell, I\u2019ll let you enjoy your break, Zachary,\u201d Duncan said. With nothing more to discuss, he quickly ended the call. Zachary shouted at the disconnected line, \u201cWeirdo.\u201d Duncan entered, cradling his wife as she slept. \u201cZachary.\u201d Serenity emerged from the private resting room. \u201cYou\u2019re awake, honey. Did the phone call disturb you?\u201d Zachary quickly got up and walked over to Serenity, wrapping his arms around her waist and guiding her to the sofa where they sat down together. \u201cNo, I woke up on my own. Who were you talking to?\u201d Serenity was merely trying to make conversation, so it didn\u2019t matter to her if Zachary chose to answer or not. \u201cDuncan called to discuss some trivial matters that aren\u2019t worth mentioning. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gotten into him; it was a strange call,\u201d Zachary replied, sharing the details of his conversation with Duncan. He had promised there would be no more lies and vowed to be honest with Serenity, as long as it didn\u2019t involve trade secrets.<\/p>\n
