Chapter 53
Seeing her father on the phone, Avery placed a finger on her lips, signaling to everyone not to greet her. She then gently closed the door behind her and changed into slippers. Maria quickly moved a stool for her and served her some oatmeal.
"Avery, come eat with us."
Avery nodded and took a seat at the table, eating her oatmeal while listening to her father talk on the phone with her brothers.
On the line, a mature and steady voice spoke firmly. "Buy it! We have to buy it. You don’t need to worry. The free-range chickens, ducks, and pigs I’m raising at the farm will be ready to sell soon, so making a profit of over 40 thousand dollars won’t be a problem. I’ll continue to earn money. Our family can definitely manage a monthly repayment of 10 thousand dollars if we tighten our belts."
A confident and assertive voice came from Arthur’s phone. "I agree. We must seize this opportunity and buy that villa. I’ll be back in March next year. With my qualifications, finding a high-paying job won’t be difficult. I’ll be able to help with part of the repayment. You don’t need to feel too much pressure."
The voice on Claire’s phone was cheerful and energetic. "If nothing unexpected happens, I should make it to the national team. With various bonuses and subsidies, I can help pay off the mortgage. So, we must buy that villa!"
Wesley addressed everyone seriously. "That’s all well and good, but Bard Property has reminded us that many people say the villa is haunted and full of negative energy—"
The mature voice interrupted Wesley. "Dad, I don’t believe in these things. If such theories were correct, then the house we’re living in now and the one from Bard Property would also have bad energy. We might as well choose the bigger house."
The self-assured voice chimed in, "Our fate is in our own hands, not determined by supernatural forces."
