Wesley's face turned pale, feeling a rush of anxiety. "What do you plan to do about it?"
The others watched the phone with despondent eyes, feeling drained. It seemed like they were constantly hitting a brick wall. After waiting forever for their house, now there was another delay.
"Don't worry, our company has held a meeting and we will ensure the homeowner's interests are protected," the caller quickly reassured. "We've learned that a villa at Mid-Level Mountain Garden is being sold at a loss. If you're willing to sell your problematic house to us at a high price, we can offer you up to thirty years of interest-free loans to help you buy that villa as compensation."
Wesley and the others exchanged glances. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. Nevertheless, the generous compensation from Bard Property seemed like a silver lining.
Feeling more at ease, Wesley collected himself and asked, "What's the situation with the villa? What's the total price? Even with interest-free loans, we might not be able to afford it."
The caller replied, "The villa covers over 5 thousand square feet, including the main building, an annex, a garage, and a backyard. It can comfortably accommodate a dozen people."
The Donovan family felt their heart sank. A villa of that size was beyond their means. No amount of discount could make it affordable.
The caller continued, "The villa's first owner was a high-ranking official who had to sell it at a low price after being imprisoned. The second owner was a businessman whose venture fell through within two years of moving into the villa. Strapped for cash, he had to sell it off at a bargain.
"Many think the villa is haunted, and that's why it's been on the market for three years with no buyers. Properties in the same area are priced between 40 to 60 million, but this one can be bought for just over 6 million dollars."
The Donovan family looked at one another, visibly tempted by the offer. It was unbelievably cheap. If they could buy the villa, it would fulfill their dream of living together as a family, and even their grandparents from the countryside could come live with them.
"We've calculated that your unfinished house can offset over 2 million of the cost. The remaining amount could be paid off over thirty years, roughly 10 thousand dollars a month," the caller added.
The family looked troubled. Although the house was a bargain and the loan was interest-free, paying back 10 thousand dollars each month was still a heavy burden.
Before Wesley could refuse, the caller said, "Mr. Donovan, buying a house is a big decision. You can discuss it with your family and get back to us. I'll hang up now."
The caller seemed afraid that Wesley would refuse, so she quickly ended the call.
Wesley looked at his family. "What do you think?"
Claire was torn between temptation and hesitation. "Since the house is for the whole family, we should decide by voting."
Wesley asked, "Arthur, Maria, Josie, what are your thoughts?"
Josie didn't understand these things and said innocently, "I'll live wherever Daddy, Mommy, and my brothers and sisters are."
Maria raised her head briefly before lowering it again, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll follow the family's decision. Whatever you decide is fine with me."
Arthur clenched his fists and said eagerly, "I think we should buy it. If we decide to get the villa, I can take up a part-time job to help cover the house loan."
Wesley nodded. "Everyone, take out your phones and call the boys. Let's hear what they think."
The four adults placed their phones on the table and called the Donovan sons, putting them on speaker. One of the calls didn't go through, but the other three were answered.
Wesley explained the situation about the villa to his sons, but before he could finish, the door suddenly opened, and Athena walked in.
