Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Out of nowhere.

Phoebe was leaving the bank when she got a call from Evelyn which immediately started with an unexpected question that made her pause in her tracks for a moment before entering her car.

“You are a Mayfair, aren’t you?”

Evelyn was so direct about it, sounding so sure. Uncertain, she posed a question of her own in response as she started the car.

“What makes you say that?”

“I passed by the hospital to see Ruth and she was all pale and scared when i mentioned rumors circulating about swapped babies. I heard my parents whispering about it last night. Apparently the nurse that swapped the babies left notes and a list which clearly identifies which child from which family was exchanged with another.

The Carters, my cousins family, their parents were called in last night. Devan is not related to us by blood, everyone is devastated. Anyway, seeing how nervous Ruth looked, i decided to pass by your cafe and to my surprise, old Lady Mayfair is working there now.

I am not stupid Phoebe, i have known the Mayfairs all my life. In no universe and under no conditions would she be working when her precious only granddaughter is sick in the hospital.

She certainly wouldn’t be in your cafe, like come on, the answer is right there. It’s a gigantic ass glowing billboard in the middle of the road screaming over here, look at me.”

Phoebe laughed lightly. “I guess you do not need me to give you a confirmation then.”

Evelyn gasped loudly and she giggled. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!!!! this is huge Pheebs, you are the Mayfair heiress. This explains the weird relationship between her and your parents…., no they are not your parents anymore. Thank God they are not your parents and you can finally escape those demons. They can finally have their Ruth that they adore so much. Holy shit i gotta tell everyone we went to school with and….”

“Slow down Evie,” Phoebe stopped her friend who was moving way too fast. “I think you have forgotten how cunning Ruth is. Do you think my parents can abandon her when she is sick and the Gabriels are conveniently missing? This whole swapped baby revelation came to light because i was suspicious and asked detective Shark to help me investigate. He ended up discovering that i was not the only baby to be swapped. Anyway, it’s not going to be made public for now and Ruth is staying. We are two happy loving sisters now.” she said sarcastically.

On the other end of the phone, Evelyn guffawed because she knew from Phoebe’s tone that this was not a loving sisterhood. There was going to be some backstabbing and plotting.

“I cannot believe Ruth is shamelessly choosing to continue living as a Mayfair. Why can’t she just take all the money she has and move away? If it were me i would have left the moment the truth was discovered. I cannot imagine living everyday with the actual child of my parents.

Have you seen the cuckoo thing online, i would even be too afraid to accept anything from the family because it would be like stealing.

Can you imagine the whispers from relatives, maids and other workers looking down on you and thinking you are the same as them but just happened to be lucky because you were swapped. I couldn’t live like that Pheebs, its suffocating and embarrassing, then again, Ruth has no shame.”

Phoebe was inclined to agree about the last comment and Evelyn’s opinions. If she had been in Ruth’s place, she would have left the Mayfair family. If she didn’t want to live to be with her birth family then she would choose to live alone.

“So what is your plan?” Evelyn inquired.

“To watch and see for now how things progress. I will call you later Evelyn i am driving back to the cafe right now. I want to hear more about your conversation with Ruth.”

They said farewell to each other and Evelyn ended the call. Phoebe found herself in a good mood and she turned up the volume of the music, bringing Connie out of the space with her off key and out of tune singing.

They enjoyed the music until the Saxon spirit suddenly made a reminder to Phoebe with a frown. “I think you should call David and let him know about what transpired between you and his mother.”

Connie stopped bobbing her head up and down like a doll and she agreed with the spirit. “That Miranda woman seemed like someone that would manipulate such a situation.”

Knowing Miranda Phoebe knew that Connie was right so when she parked her car and started walking to the cafe, she called David who answered the call joyfully.

Phoebe exhaled loudly. “This isn’t a pleasant call David Saxon, it’s just a heads up about your mother….”

Hands wrapped around her neck out of nowhere and she screamed. The phone fell from her hands and hit the paved ground. She didn’t recognize her assailant until she heard his voice over Connie’s screams.

“It’s your fault you bitch!!! You killed my wife. You evil witch! You brought Mason’s ghost into our perfect lives and now everything has been ruined.” Turner spoke gruffly as his grip tightened around Phoebe’s neck.

“Pheebs….phoebe? Who the hell is that?” David’s voice could be heard shouting through the phone, he kept calling her name and asking what was happening to her.

Meanwhile Phoebe was struggling to breathe as she slapped the beefy man to let go as she gasped for breath like a drowning rat.

“Le..let go!” She croaked.

The Saxon spirit intervened, coming out of the bracelet and sending Turner flying. Phoebe stumbled towards the nearest wall, heaving and catching her breath. Thankfully the spirit intervened by using its powers to hold his arms to the back and pin him in one place.

After catching her breath, she stood up slowly but her hands continued to massage her sore neck. She wanted to go into the cafe immediately, the scuffle had attracted a small number of spectators and the last thing she needed was to end up in the news once again.

So, she glared at Turner and pointed at the cafe.

“Follow me.”

“Heck no!! I am not following you, what are you and Mason planning to take my life as well? I have lost everything because of you, I have nothing left.” Turner’s voice was glazed with resentment.

Phoebe wasn’t about to argue with the man so she asked the ghosts to force him inside.

“Whatever you do, do not carry him. There are too many eyes here.” Her eyes moved around before pushing the door open only to see more spectators.

The people in the cafe were watching through the windows. Rosset had used a lot of strength to hold grandma Mayfair back. The old woman wanted to attack Turner but Rosset assured her that Phoebe would handle it.

First, Phoebe decided to get rid of the customers. Turner was not going to talk silently, she could hear his loud screams and pleas for someone to call the police.

Phoebe opened the door of the cafe and made an announcement loudly. “I apologize for the commotion, none of you has to pay for your meals because we are closing up right now. If you have already paid, please return tomorrow for a free replacement drink and snack. We have an emergency to deal with, please make your way out as quickly as possible.”
