Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Double, quadruple, and add another zeroes.

The amount of money Miranda was offering was very laughable and ridiculous. It was pennies compared to the endless mine of financial reserves she had access to. Phoebe was no gold digger but she found the money offered insulting.

[Two million, is this all your son is worth to you?]

Miranda gasped. “So you want more but of course what would I expect from a woman of your class.”

Phoebe was shocked that Miranda understood her dissatisfaction but nevertheless, it didn’t matter because it was how she was feeling genuinely.

“David Saxon is worth more than two million. I can get this if he gives me some strands of his hair. Make your offer juicier.”

Miranda huffed, pulled out another check, wrote on it and tossed it at Phoebe like it was trash.

Again Phoebe picked it up. “Five million, now we are talking. But it is still not enough, double it”

Miranda’s face twitched and she snorted. “Your greed really knows no bounds. Fine, i can afford it anyway.”

She signed another cheque for ten million which she threw Phoebe’s way in her preferred smile. Phoebe didn’t even touch or look at it. Like a dog at a sausage buffet with a wagging excited tail, Phoebe felt her cells dancing for joy. If she had known that she could make easy money like this from dating David, she would have initiated a relationship with him on day one.

“Quadruple it.” smugly, she ordered Miranda.

Miranda’s hands trembled with the urge to slap the smug look off Phoebe’s face. Did the woman crook assume that she could simply blackmail her as she wished?

“Are you crazy? Have the spirits you serve turned your brain into mash? Why is your greed unlimited? Do i look like i am made of money?”

Phoebe looked her up and down, taking in her luxury clothes and bag.

“The bag you are holding is worth more than ten million. Is your son less valuable than your bag? Wow, David will be disappointed to hear this. The mother that didn’t give him time or love as a child because her career and proving herself to her in-laws was worth more than raising him thinks he is worth less than one of her bags.”

Miranda raised her hand in an attempt to slap Phoebe. Phoebe tilted her head to dodge the slap. She did not need to dodge anyway because Miranda’s hand was frozen in the air, caught by the Saxon spirit.

“Release her.” Phoebe told it.

Reluctantly, it did as she wanted.

“Quadruple it and add another zero or get out of my cafe and start preparing new bedding and a wedding ring for me because i will be coming as his bride. I look forward to calling you mother-in-law sweetly.”

Miranda roughly wrote up another cheque for one hundred million.

“This is the most you will get out of me. If i see you around my son, i will report you for fraud because this is a verbal contract. I have recorded this conversation as well, if you go back on your word i will sue you for everything you own and you will die and serve your spirits from the grave.”

Phoebe responded by smiling calmly. “You can leave now, thank you for passing by Miranda. It was nice doing business with you, i hope we do this again soon.” Her nonchalant tone irked Miranda who stood up and matched out.

Grandma Mayfair run up to Phoebe quickly. “Darling, what just happened here? How could you take the money, don’t you love David?”

“Love..” Phoebe lowered her eyes and laughed softly for a few seconds. Then she looked up and said, “Loving a Saxon is painful and expensive grandma, in more ways than one. Sometimes, the price to pay for that love is life.”

Grandma Mayfair was perplexed, she couldn’t make heads or tails of Phoebe’s words. All she was worried about was how Phoebe was feeling about hearing such horrible words from Miranda Saxon and what people would think when they found out that Phoebe had accepted money in exchange for breaking up with David.

Miranda Saxon was not going to keep quiet about this little tidbit. She would use it to ruin Phoebe’s reputation for sure.

“I cannot believe the nerve of that woman coming into your cafe to talk to you like that. Hmph, Prudence will hear from me about this for sure. Darling, let us give that money back before it becomes the source of your ruination, I will give you double the amount….”

Phoebe hugged her grandmother abruptly, stunning the old woman into silence.

“Grandmother, believe it or not, i earned this money fairly. Nobody knows Miranda Saxon like me, and i know all too well the cruelty she is capable of. I am doing this to teach her a lesson.

If David chooses his mother’s side, that’s fine with me, it just means that he is not worthy of me anyway. Do not worry about me and Miranda because I am also not a push over. Whatever amount she offers, i will take and keep taking until i bankrupt her or she surrenders.

If she uses this matter to attempt to ruin my reputation, i will do the same to her.”

She pointed up the corner of the shop. A small CCTV camera was hidden in the corner and nobody but her and Rosette knew about it.

“What will people think if they see what the polite and refined Miranda is really like. Her reputation will take a hit faster than mine. If she leaks the audio of me accepting the money, i will release the video of her offering it. At the end of the day, she came to me and initiated the whole thing not the other way round.”

Grandma Mayfair was misguided by Phoebe’s smooth tongue that she forgot her own worries and nodded.

“I am going to go and cash this cheque at the bank before she changes her mind, please watch over the cafe grandma.” Phoebe kissed the old woman on the cheek and dashed out of the cafe.

For Phoebe, this was a free windfall, one hundred million to replace what she had spent on Mason’s mother. Maybe God had decided to pay her back in this way.

When she was married to David, Miranda never gave her as much as a dollar and even checked her financial records regularly.

She monitored every coin Phoebe spent and berated her for wasting money on anything she deemed unnecessary.

Sometimes, Ruth would even randomly and casually mention it to Miranda if she bought a nice new dress. Miranda in turn would react as if a world war had broken out and the dress of eighty dollars had cost eight million.

There were many more incidents like this and the excuse which was always used was that she needed to be more careful, mindful, conservative and not money minded to expose her poor background.

Phoebe sneered at the memories. This one hundred million was just the beginning. Ruth and Miranda, she would teach them both good lessons.
