“Clive probably made a deal on the house.”
Since the estates were next to each other, it made sense for Clive to buy the property next door and tear down the fence in between to connect the two houses. It would expand the square footage of the Stones’ land.
The Stones had the money anyway. Who could beat Clive if he had his eyes on the property?
“I can help you to ask around now if you’re interested. Hang on.”
Since Duncan felt bad for waking his best friend up, he tried to think of something to make up for it.
That was how the Zimmers’ villa came to mind.
Using another phone, Duncan checked with his source and quickly got a reply. The Zimmers’ villa was not on the market anyway.
Duncan asked his source thinking it was Clive, but his source had no idea who had purchased the house, and that it was not Clive. Clive was one step behind buying the Zimmers’ villa to expand his family’s land as someone else had bought the house off.
Sure, the Zimmers’ property was preowned, but the place boasted a generous space, so everybody was after the land. As for the house itself, the buyer would probably get a major overhaul of the building structure as Duncan had said.
The Zimmers had a lot of memories of the house, but it was time for others to create something anew.
Out with the old and in with the new.
Since money was no object, the resident would spare no expenses to bring their dream home to life.
Duncan replied, “See. The nice estate is high in demand. Someone got it before Clive.”
“Who bought the place?”
That was quick.
“No idea, but we’ll soon find out.”
