Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: To punish a bad child.

Edward wrapped his left hand around her waist and squeezed it. She had been worked up since yesterday, maybe she needed to take some of that calming tonic gave his mother.

Edward pointed Ruth’s way with his right hand,. “That is not all young woman, since you are going around disrespecting people because of our money then you should know that i have made a decision to cut your allowance in half. If you are dissatisfied then look for a job and make your own money.”

He stood up, tugged on the corners of his suit jacket and started leaving the living room. He could hear Ruth calling out for him but he didn’t look back.

“No, dad, no. What will i do if you cut my allowance? How can i survive on five million a month? Father please!! Don’t do this to me.” She screamed.

“Mother, you won’t allow this to happen, right? I have apologized already, why is dad still angry with me? Do you want me to starve? How will i have friends if i cannot afford to go to the same places as them? My social status will decline, i will become a pariah.” Ruth walked quickly on her knees and hugged her mother’s legs, sobbing loudly.

Collin and Andre were flabbergasted, Ruth’s reasons for wanting an extravagant allowance were really eye opening. Other people survived on less than five thousand dollars a month, she was crying because five million was too little, and yet all she wanted it for was to spend on showing off with her idiot friends.

Jennie for once wanted to slap Ruth and beg her to shut up. She moved her leg instead, dislodging Ruth’s hands.

“This is for your own good, i really regret that it took us so long to check your bad behavior. It’s our fault that you turned into a spoiled brat. Now go upstairs, clean your damn self because we are leaving in about thirty minutes.” Jennie pointed to the stairs.

Phoebe who had arrived only thirty seconds ago was sipping her black tea as she watched the almighty Ruth Mayfair get disciplined. The very gossipy ghosts had been updating her on all that had been happening since Ruth returned.

Watching her plead on her knees brought a smile to Phoebe’s face. Her cries were like a love song in her ears and she longed to hear it more.

Phoebe had figured out that Ruth was responsible for her miscarriage back then. The bottle of grape juice she had given her must have had something which flushed out her baby. The debt Ruth owed her had increased, it was not three but four lives…and she would collect them.

Grandma Mayfair stamped her stick on the floor.

“Now this is more like it, you have always been a terrible person and I have always mentioned it. I thank God that Phoebe’s coming to this house helped open your parent’s eyes. Why are you still squatting there, are you laying an egg?”

Her words to Ruth caused everyone to guffaw while Phoebe laughed out loud exaggeratedly to annoy Ruth. She had to give the old woman props for having a loose scathing tongue.

Glaring at the old woman, Ruth stood up and went to her room struggling to keep her anger in check. Once inside she threw herself on the bed, grabbed a pillow, buried her face in it and let out a muffled angry scream.

“By the end of the day all of you are going to be crying tears of sorrow. Stupid ass Mayfairs.” Ruth clenched her fists together.

She was even more certain that their hearts were turning against her. Soon, they would not see her as their daughter anymore. But that was okay, she had a back up plan___, one to bond her life with theirs forever. They could have their precious daughter, but she was going nowhere.

Ruth got up and looked at herself in the mirror, smiling deviously. The mirror reflected her eyes which were darkened with evil, pure evil.

In the living room, Phoebe had moved to sit next to her mother who she could tell was depressed by everything that was going on. It was to be expected, the Ruth disappointment incidents just kept piling so her heart was heavy.

She pulled out a small jewelry box from her bag and handed it to her.

“Mother, i know that this is nothing like the fancy jewelry that you often wear but this ring comes from the center of my heart.”

A smile of gratitude fell on Jennie’s face as she opened the jewelry box and studied the ring. It was the second gift Phoebe was giving her, the first was returning to them alive.

It was a silver ring with different colored small stones at the center. They weren’t ordinary stones though because Phoebe got them from the mountain in the magic space.

They included pieces from a black onyx stone, a purple amethyst stone, a selenite stone and a moon stone. All of them had energy to protect her from danger and evil. They could protect her from manipulation spells too or having her luck stolen.

“Thank you my darling Pheebs, I will treasure this for the rest of my life.” She slid it on her finger and hugged her daughter tightly.

“What about me?” grandma Mayfair raised her disappointed voice.

As the first one in the family to accept Phoebe wholeheartedly, shouldn’t she be getting a precious gift? It was the same for Andre who cleared his throat and Luke who smiled. Collin couldn’t pitch in because he was often butting heads with Phoebe, still he wanted a gift from her too.

He had forgotten that he had not given her a welcome gift yet.

“It’s still in the works grandma, everyone will get a special gift from me.” Phoebe assured them.

Jennie raised her hand and waved it around, showing off her ring.

“I guess i am more special, nothing beats a mother-daughter bond.”

Phoebe chortled and covered her mouth.

[Ha! my mom is actually cute.]

Jennie actually blushed a little and then looked away from Phoebe. How was she was cute as a middle aged woman? That was embarrassing, thankfully nobody saw it but her. It was the biggest confirmation of their special bond, seeing her daughter’s inner thoughts.

Phoebe then got up and told her family that she would meet them at the venue because she had small business to take care of at the cafe.

Jennie was worried that she would be late but Phoebe assured them that she would be on time. When she left, they were admiring Jennie’s ring.

When she got to the cafe, Phoebe found the jeweler she had an appointment with waiting for her. She was siting on one the tables close to the window, sipping on the beverage Rosette had served her.

She slipped into a chair beside her and looked at her watch before facing the woman and speaking rashly. “Thank you so much Lorraine for creating a masterpiece, my mother loved the ring so much.”

“That’s lovely to hear, I have to say that I have been in this business for years and I have to say that the stones you gave me had the purest energy i have felt in so long. I would like to know where you got them such that I can buy them all.”

Lorraine was an alchemist, an actual witch of sorts that Phoebe had met in Magic city. She sold all sorts of trinkets and magical gadgets, a few moths ago she had moved to Citrus city. She was Phoebe’s go to person for making all the good luck charm bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry in her cafe.

Lorraine’s words caused Phoebe’s eyes to fly open, all she could see were dollar signs. She had a mountain of such stones in her magical space.

“Ha-ha-ha, those stones have been in my family for decades, we just never knew what to do with them as they seemed worthless.” Phoebe lied blatantly for she had no better explanation as to where she got them. “Let’s talk money.”
