Chapter 19 The house

"So, this is it? This is the house?"

"Yep.

"Wow...It's...so grand."

"I know." Claire replied with a smirk etched on her lips.

Earlier, Claire had instructed Matthew to set up a meeting with Dennis Anderson. She needed answers, and Dennis seemed like the key to find answer. They met at a quaint cottee shop, choosing a quiet corner for their discussion "Thank you for meeting with me, Dennis," Claire began, her tone serious yet polite.

Dennis nodded, his expression showing a hint of concern. "Of course, Claire. You seemed quite troubled at the party yesterday."

Claire wasted no time getting to the point. "I want to know what happened to my family's house. You mentioned it briefly, but we didn't get a chance to discuss it further."

Dennis sighed. "Claire, about a year ago, your house was sold."

"sold? But why? Who agreed to this?

Dennis hesitated before answering "Turns out it was Robert. He agreed to sell the house."

Claire's anger flared instantly. "Robert? That's out of line. What more does he want?"

Dennis sympathized with Claire's frustration. "I'm sorry, Claire. I know how much that house meant to you"

Claire took a moment to compose herself before asking another pressing question. "Do you know what happened to my parents" belongings? Were they included in the sale?"

Dennis shook his head regretfully. "I'm afraid I don't have that information. I'm sorry, Claire"

Claire sighed, feeling a mix of disappointment and anger. "Thank you for telling me, Dennis. It's not easy news to hear, but I appreciate you for telling me this."

After parting ways with Dennis, Claire and Matthew found themselves standing in front of her family home. It was a grand house with a Victorian design, just as her parents had always wanted. The memories flooded back, both happy and bittersweet. Claire inhaled deeply and pressed the doorbell, determined to confront the current owners and take back ownership of the house.
