Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Meeting at Peachwater Village

“Don’t just blurt things out like that!” Purple Summers and Zara Jameson said in unison.

Both girls were scared by Jane McCain’s words.

Zara Jameson worriedly said, “If someone hears it, it will be very troublesome! Those women who like Young Master Graves will probably come to find trouble with Purple!”

Purple Summers had a different concern; she was not afraid of people causing trouble for her, but she was afraid that someone would take it seriously!

Would the two great families cause bloodshed because of this? Please, she couldn’t handle that!

Purple didn’t want to be a femme fatale, because femme fatales have short lives. She wanted to live and grow old happily.

Jane McCain, realizing that she had misspoken, awkwardly stuck out her tongue and said, “I was just talking nonsense. I promise I’ll be more careful next time.”

Jane usually behaved carefully and cautiously in her speech and actions. Only in front of her close friends would she be so unguarded in her speech.

With the topic swept aside, the three girls began discussing their plans for the winter vacation.

Zara Jameson planned to enroll in a cram school, while Jane McCain found it boring. She originally planned to travel abroad, but she had frequently traveled with Mrs. McCain to attend fashion shows in other countries, so there didn’t seem to be any country she hadn’t visited.

“How about we go skiing?” Jane McCain suggested. “The ski resorts in Clearwater City are boring, all artificial snow, and with no atmosphere. Let’s go to Northshore City instead. I heard that when it snows heavily there, the snow can be as deep as thigh-high!”

Purple Summers thought that she was exaggerating.

“The heaviest snow in Clearwater City only reaches my heels.” Jane McCain asked them, “Will you go? Will you go?”

Zara Jameson looked at Purple Summers: “Purple, are you going?”

Purple Summers shook her head: “I’ll be going out in a few days to take care of something.”

Jane McCain asked her where she was going.

There was no reason to hide it from her friends, so Purple Summers told them, “I’m going to Peachwater Village to help Officer Jackson with a case.”

Both girls looked surprised at her words.

“Peachwater Village? The same Peachwater Village I know?” Jane McCain was both astonished and excited. “Peachwater Village is a famous haunted village. I heard that there’s a sorceress there who is extremely accurate in her predictions. Many wealthy women travel long distances just to have their fortunes told by her, to find out if their husbands are cheating.”

Zara Jameson had also heard about the rumors of Peachwater Village. She furrowed her brows and rubbed her arms, whispering, “I’ve also heard that Peachwater Village is located at the foot of a sinister mountain with an enchantment formation. Many students who like to take risks go there, only to find themselves trapped on the mountain and unable to get home for days.”

Rumors about Peachwater Village were abundant, which was part of its infamous reputation.

“Zara, let’s go there too.” Jane McCain’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Zara Jameson.

Zara Jameson furrowed her brows, as she was very afraid of supernatural things. “That place is haunted. What if we run into danger…”

“It’s fine; the haunted rumors of Peachwater Village have been going on for 30 or 50 years and no one has actually been killed by ghosts,” Jane McCain shook Zara Jameson’s arm, trying to persuade her. “Let’s go, we’ll only be there for a few days and nothing will happen. Maybe we can even help Purple Summers.”

Having said that, Jane McCain turned to Purple Summers and asked, “Can Zara and I come too?”

Purple Summers hesitated for a moment and said, “…Sure.”

Although it was rumored to be haunted, Peachwater Village was actually just a tourist attraction, and everyone was free to visit.

Furthermore, Purple Summers was worrying about how to find an excuse. If Zara Jameson and Jane McCain were going, she could tell Atra Blanc that she was going on a short trip with her classmates.

Thinking about it, Purple Summers hoped that Tiny could also come along.

As for whether there were really ghosts in that place, she was also feeling quite unsettled.
