The Fortune-Telling Heiress

The live stream viewers typed away excitedly.

"Whoa! What beautiful scenery! It's so pretty!"

"MediumRareOnly, you aren't someone in the homestay business deliberately here to promote your accommodation, are you?"

"That's a begonia tree, isn't it? It's almost autumn, so how is it still blooming? It's fake, isn't it? It has to be a fake tree!"

"It's a fake for sure! He's mooching off Ms. Locke's stream popularity to promote his homestay business."

Medium RareOnly quickly shook his head, explaining, "It really is my house and not a homestay! That's why I'm wondering if it's haunted. That begonia tree just bloomed overnight-and not just the tree, but all the other flowers in the courtyard too." He adjusted the camera, letting Madison and the viewers get a look at the surrounding scenery.

"Not a single household still has blooming flowers other than mine," he stated.

The viewers were still doubtful of his claims, certain that he was doing this for the sake of publicity.

"You don't believe me, right? Then I'll get a close-up view for you guys," he said, feeling a little angry at their unwillingness to believe him.

He sneaked toward the courtyard with his phone in hand. When he arrived at the entrance, he raised his phone from outside the courtyard, giving everyone a view of the begonia tree.

"See?" he asked. "They're real flowers!"

"What are you doing, Josh?"

Medium RareOnly-whose real name was Joshua Walsh-jumped in fright at the sound of the voice.

"Nothing, Grandma," he assured quickly. "I'm just watching a live stream."

"Oh," replied his grandmother, Caroline.

After responding to Caroline, Joshua moved away from the house again.

"I'm really telling the truth, Ms. Locke. The begonia tree isn't fake, and..." He lowered his voice to a whisper, continuing, "...those flowers have been blooming for a whole month without withering away!" As he spoke, he shivered. "That's why I think this place is haunted!"

He couldn't think of any possibility other than that it was haunted.

"I even asked my classmate from the College of Agricultural Science about it," he added. "He said that there are indeed flowers that bloom out of season, but their flowering. period wouldn't exceed a week. He even said that it's impossible for only a certain area to have out-of-season flowers! Are we haunted, Ms. Locke?"

Madison shook her head.

However, the expressions of the Mystic Arts Alliance members in the monastery changed.

"It's a demon, isn't it? A flower demon!"

"Its cultivation level is still low. Ms. Locke should seize the opportunity to catch it and prevent it from causing harm to humanity."

"I wonder what that flower demon is planning to do? Whatever the case, just capture it first!"

"What is Madison Locke doing? Her mystic arts can shift through the recording equipment, so she should seize the chance to capture it!" Erwin simply smiled and said nothing.

Liam and Michael were both frowning as they watched the live stream.

On the other end, Madison told Joshua, "It's not haunted."

"What is it, then?" he asked in confusion.

"Do you want to know?" she asked in return.

He nodded vigorously. "Of course, I do. My grandma fell sick, and the doctors said that she's severely ill, so there's only so much time she has left. She didn't want to stay in the hospital and wanted to return to her hometown instead, so my parents and I accompanied her back to our hometown.

"Who would've known that the day after we returned, the flowers both inside and outside the courtyard would all bloom?"

As he spoke, he gazed worriedly at the courtyard.

"My parents find it creepy and tried to advise my grandma to leave, but she refuses to listen," he continued. "She just doesn't want to leave. My parents are afraid that there really are malicious spirits in the house, so they're thinking of sending me away while they stay to take care of my grandma. But how can I possibly leave them here and go away alone?"

Anxious, helpless, and scared, he asked, "Is this place really not haunted, Ms. Locke?"

"It's not," Madison replied.

"T-Then what's the reason for all the strange occurrences? Is it because of an increase in temperature underground or abnormal climate-"

"It's neither of those."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Joshua was confused.
