Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: All nighter……3

David did not go alone into the kitchen, he made sure to pull Phoebe and take her with him. He didn’t waste a moment and immediately fired a question.

“Pheebs, why are the Mayfair’s here?”

“Because i am a Mayfair, cuckoo case, keep up Saxon i do not have time to educate you on everything. I thought you had all these information sources to keep you up to date on everything all the time.”

She had no plans to hide this truth from him, he would find out the truth quickly anyway. The more that her family showed up at the cafe, the more people would put two and two together.

David’s eyes lit up and his mouth fell open slightly for a few seconds. He opened and closed it like a fish gasping for air on and off as he digested the surprise. Phoebe was a Mayfair! how, when and why?

How did he not know this before his rebirth? What about Ruth, did that serpent of a woman know the truth? She was very capable of getting rid of Phoebe in order to keep her identity as the Mayfair heiress.

He had not paid a lot of attention to the cuckoo case. It was hard to miss it since the story was national and international news but as it did not affect the Saxons or their business he had not cared much for it. Then again, he had been busy with the meeting with those investors from Eagle country, worrying about Phoebe and fighting with his parents.

He crossed his arms and leaned against the kitchen counter, almost sending the cake butter in a large glass jar falling. He pushed it further for its own safety and then faced Phoebe.

“So let me get this straight, you are the daughter of the Mayfair family and you were swapped with Ruth at birth.”

Phoebe glared at him.

[Do i need to spell it out for you?]

David kept his next questions on her true heritage to himself. Obviously he had every answer he needed on the matter and the rest he could learn from the news or detective Shark, the man responsible for the case as seen on the news all the time.

“So, has Ruth been sent packing? That right there is poetic justice, it’s karma. She is the most greedy woman in the world and she has lost all the wealth and glory she had.”

Phoebe snorted. “Hmph, oh she found a way to stick to that glory and wealth for now. My parents are not giving her up so easily thanks to a bond of more than twenty years. In the words of my father, they can afford to raise two daughters. Besides, with the few horrible stories they have heard about the Gabriel’s i doubt that they would willingly send her to them.”

It was also one of the reasons why Phoebe was not in such a hurry to expose all of the Gabriel’s dirty deeds and their true nature. With her mother’s soft heart, she would never allow Ruth the daughter she raised with so much love to end up with such greedy, selfish people even if they happened to be her parents.

Even if Ruth left on her own, she could still call Jennie, blackmail her emotionally and get financial support from her forever.

Phoebe intended to open her mother’s eyes to Ruth’s true nature so that Jennie would willingly cut the strings. If she could see that Ruth was just like her biological parents she would grow to disdain her.

“I can’t believe this. Why would they keep her around, for what reason? She is a terrible human being and the sooner they get rid of her the better for the whole family. Pretty soon she will be plotting how to steal the Mayfair fortune since she cannot get her hands on it the lawful way. You should be on guard with her, do not allow her to…..”

The door to the kitchen was pushed open and Andre strolled in. “Hey guys.”

He was all smiles and very cheerful as he walked up to Phoebe, turned her around and gave her a brotherly hug.

“Lil sis, if you needed all hands on deck you should have called me. I went home and didn’t find anyone only to hear from one of the maids that you were all working all night.

Sis, i should be your first call next time. If i didn’t come by i would not get to meet real war heroes that participated in the great Northern war. Director Baylor Monk has been passing around a script for a new movie that he is planning to shoot.

It’s called saving captain Andy, and it’s based on the Great Northern war. He is looking for investors and actors and yours truly is one of the actors that have been given a chance to play the role of captain Andy.”

“Congratulations.” Phoebe tapped him on the shoulder.

If he was smiling then it was probably a good thing.

David put one of his hands on his chin and he looked thoughtful. “Hmm…i should give him a call. Now that i am unemployed i need to find new ways to make money. Investing in Baylor sounds like a good idea.”

“Unemployed!!” Andre exclaimed.

David nodded. “I am quitting the Saxon group and venturing out on my own. I need to make my own money just like you Andre.”

With all the Mayfair wealth, he had become an actor basing on his talents and he had amassed a significant amount of money.

In that aspect, the Mayfair’s were better than the Saxons as every Saxon worked in the family company. If it collapsed one day, they would all be unemployed.

“I get to bring in an investor and real knowledge about the war, I am awesome.” Andre bragged and danced with his shoulders.

Rosette came by and glared at the three that were indulging in conversation instead of working. She cleared her throat and pointed at all the buns that were waiting to be stuffed with sausages and vegetables.

She gestured for Andre to follow her with one of her fingers.

Andre awkwardly followed her and donned on gloves. He obediently got to work immediately and he was not alone, David and Phoebe did the same.

For two hours, they worked in silence and accomplished a lot but the job was not coming to an end.

“Why are we cooking these things ourselves when we can just order out?” David asked.

He rolled his shoulders back suffering from a case of exhaustion.

Phoebe handed him an ice cold cup of lemon grass tea prepared with some water from the lake of life and death that had been diluted incredibly. The Saxon spirit had declared it harmless and recommended it if everyone was to keep up their energy.

She handed a cup to Andre as well and they took a thirty minute break.

“We need special fire to cook food for ghosts that can fill them for a long time.” Phoebe pointed to a large pot in the fire place that was producing green fire.

Andre stood up and squeezed himself between David and Phoebe. “Lil sis, I saw mom preparing hot chocolate for the fallen heroes out there, it’s amazing that you roped her into this Pheebs.”

“I didn’t do anything. I am amazed that she is still here as well. Anyway, who else is coming, should i be expecting Luke and Collin as well?”

Andre shook his head. “They were working overnight as well. Anyway, what is your plan, these ghosts want a state funeral in order to move on. How do you plan to pull that one off?”
