Chapter 362

362 Scions in Deep Water
“Is it because the rent is cheap?”
“Why else would they move into that house? They’re definitely going to regret it!”
“It’s hard to say. After all, that incident was many years ago.”
As the neighbors gossiped in hushed tones under the tree, their conversation’s subject–Wynter-
approached them with bags filled with fruits and wild root herbs.
“Good day, we just moved into the neighborhood. I’m Wynter, and this is my little brother, Wolf.”
Wolf, dressed brightly with a baseball cap, nodded politely.
Upon seeing Wolf’s adorable and guarded expression, the neighbors couldn’t help but grow fond of
him, and their expressions warmed considerably.
gifts, her gaze
“Oh, you shouldn’t have,” remarked Joyce Kirk, one of the middle–aged ladies, on the gifts, her
pleased. She was impressed by Wynter’s generous gesture and sincere words.
“Is that your grandmother? The lady who’s busy in the yard,” Joyce asked.
Wynter nodded with a smile. “Yes, that’s my grandmother. She’s a traditional medicine doctor. She’s
setting up an outdoor kitchen in our yard. We’d like to invite everyone for a meal three days after.”
“Oh, your grandmother is a doctor?” Joyce smiled cheerfully. “No wonder she’s so well–dressed and
looks so trustworthy. I’d love to meet her.”
“We definitely should. Look at all the gifts her granddaughter brought us; they’re all good for health.”
The people in this neighborhood seemed to be kind–hearted. Having lived carefree lives in Kingbourne,
they were easygoing and friendly, even to strangers like Wynter.
Unable to withhold their thoughts, they openly advised Wynter, “Honestly, Wynter, you should
reconsider. your decision to stay here. This isn’t the right house for you.”
“Reconsider?” Wynter joined the neighbors, accepting a handful of peanuts from Joyce. “I didn’t rent
this
mansion. I bought it.”
The crowd fell silent
Raymond Rice, one of the neighbors, let out a long sigh. “You bought it? But a mansion can cost a
fortune. these days.”
“The previous owner had been eager to sell it off for years, so I managed to buy it outright for one–
tenth of the market price.” Wynter replied, relishing the orange that Wolf had peeled for her.
Wolf was delighted to be here, as everyone kept feeding him.
Joyce sighed. “You seem like a smart lady. Why did you buy this mansion, knowing it was sold for just
one -tenth of the market price? Surely, you can sense that something’s amiss.”

Wynter chuckled. “I couldn’t resist a bargain like that.”
The neighbors all shook their heads sympathetically. “My dear, didn’t anyone tell you that being greedy
can lead to big losses?”
“Something bad happened in this mansion. You’d be wise to have it cleansed before moving in.”
“It’s virtually unsellable now; all the real estate agents in this area know this mansion is a tough sell.”
“Wynter, you may not be superstitious, but there are indeed Inexplicable forces in this world.”
Wynter chuckled after listening. “I do believe in the supernatural. Truth be told, Wolf is quite adept in
this
realm.”
Wolf abruptly raised his head, puzzled by Wynter’s statement. Since when was he an expert in
supernature?
The neighbors all gasped in disbelief. “What? Wolf? But he’s just a kid!”
Wynter explained calmly. “Wolf is extraordinary. An old man from Mt. Dragon once said that Wolf
possesses a gift, but it requires training. So, he took Wolf under his wing as his apprentice.”
*Mt. Dragon?” The neighbors gazed at Wolf in astonishment. “So, Wolf is a ghost hunter?”
Wynter pondered for a moment before replying, “He can do something similar to what a ghost hunter
does.”
“Incredible!” The neighbors began to discuss how Wolf could rid the haunted mansion of its ghosts.
Meanwhile, as everything seemed to going smoothly for Wynter, Logan Winstor found himself in deept
water.
363 Salons Having Nightmares
“Logan, I’m really scared
Mason Scott, one of the scions involved in the street racing mentioned in Wynter’s group chat, grabbed
Logan fightly as soon as he entered the room. Dark circles hung under his eyes.
He had been huddied in a comer, refusing to let his family enter his room until Logan arrived.
“I dreamt about Denny. He asked why we were still alive while he was alone in the cold underworld,
urging us to join him,” Mason said.
Initially, Logan dismissed his words as grief–induced delusions, given the recent loss of their close
friend. However, he couldn’t ignore the fact that Rupert Bailey and Austin Fenton had expressed similar
concerns
Rupert and Austin, being further away from the scene, appeared less troubled than Mason, though.
“Logan, do you think Denny might blame us for his death?” Rupert and Austin asked, their expressions
cautious. “Is that why he keeps sending us dreams?”
“We didn’t mean to intimidate that pregnant lady,” Austin explained.
Rupert nodded. “Denny said she looked familiar, so he wanted to take a closer look. You know how
Denny was when he saw a pretty lady.”
“Logan, do you think we should go meet that pregnant lady?” Austin asked in a low tone.
Feeling agitated, Mason shouted, “My family won’t even let me leave the house now! Besides, she’s a
celebrity, she might expose us. And you’re suggesting we go meet her?”
Rupert glanced at Mason and added, “If she exposes us, she’d also expose her secret pregnancy, so
she wouldn’t. But the problem is, she has lost the child.”
“She lost the child?” Logan exclaimed suddenly, realizing his call may not have saved them after all.
Mason held his head in horror. “Logan, that’s not the point. Something’s telling me that Denny isn’t
dead
yet.”
“What are you blabbering about, Mason?” Rupert’s expression instantly changed.
“It’s just a guess,” Mason replied, his expression pale.
Rupert gazed at him and said, “Mason, you should get some rest. When was the last time
you slept?”
Mason shook his head, his eyes’circled by dark rings. “Say, if that starlet hadn’t been rescued and had
fallen off the cliff with Denny, do you think Denny would have stopped blaming us?”
“Mason Scott! Are you out of your mind?” Logan felt a surge of anger. “If you won’t snap out of it, don’t
ask me to come over to your place!”
“Chill, Logan.” Austin tried to calm Logan down. “Mason is really shaken up by those dreams.
