Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Shark on top.

Ten years ago former detective and his first partner now turned private investigator was hired to discreetly search for the whereabouts of Linda Verdemont.

The explanation given was that Linda had traveled overseas for better treatment after coming down with a strange illness and then disappeared.

The Verdemonts kept the truth to themselves that Linda had run away with one of her numerous lovers which was the rumor in the city. Nobody of course directly threw this rumor in their faces because no matter what, they were still a rich powerful family.

Shark knew that if anyone had any useful thoughts or leads on this case, it was Thomas Bing.

As they prepared to leave the station, Phoebe’s attention was grabbed by a furious woman, she was shouting loudly and rudely, asking the police officer to free someone or else face the consequences.

“Eliza?” Phoebe identified the woman immediately even before she spun around to show her face.

Another reason Phoebe could tell it was her was because she could identify the malicious ghost that was hovering around the woman. It was tied to her, with a link that could not be broken easily.

Phoebe had asked the woman to come and see her for that exact reason but Eliza rejected her. The woman was proud and arrogant, no matter what Phoebe told her, she would ignore it.

“A friend of yours?” David followed her gaze to Eliza Grant.

Shaking her head, Phoebe scoffed. “More like a potential client but a disobedient one who probably did something very bad in the past.”

“What did she do?” Shark asked, his curiosity piqued highly.

Phoebe rolled her eyes in response, Shark was indeed a shark. He was sniffing for something to bite into because he had always wanted to arrest Eliza.

“I don’t know everything.” Phoebe admitted.

Shark’s face fell as he was a little disappointed. “She is really a piece of work, she has taken away our peace of mind since she stepped foot in the police station. If i had the authority, I would lock her up for causing chaos.”

Phoebe pulled her brows closer together. “Why? What happened?” Her eyes returned to Shark.

“The usual, when it comes to her, the reasons for visiting any police station are the same. One of her many male idols is involved in the Freezing moon club case. We have damning evidence against his participation but she wants us to let him go? Can you believe that? Her lawyers have told her countless times that the idol can’t be freed especially now that one of the girls is dead but she insists on it and is threatening to sue everyone if it affects his career. It’s not my case anyway so not my problem at the moment.” Shark shrugged.

The Freezing moon club case involved a bunch of celebrities and rich kids that held a drug fueled orgy and a clip from the party was leaked. It had covered the cuckoo case and had become the latest gossip in the country.

Even though Shark looked uninterested in the case, Phoebe could see it in his eyes that it was the opposite.

“Tsk, tsk, you say one thing with your mouth but your eyes tell a different story. You cannot take on every big case Shark, curb your greed.”

He wrinkled his nose in disgust. “Sadly not, detective Arthur over there is in charge of this one but if it gets any bigger, I will still try to steal it or hop onto the investigation somehow. You know me Pheebs, i cannot let go if i smell blood. Anyway, lets see how things go for now, i will update you on the missing woman case.” Shark left them with a lazy goodbye gesture,waving his hand as if it was limp.

Eliza stormed out of the station and Phoebe quickly followed. She wanted to warn her about the malicious female ghost but on getting outside she didn’t know where or how to begin. People were generally not very receptive to the news about ghosts following them around.

In that mood, Eliza was definitely going to be less welcoming.

“Maybe you should let her be, i have heard about Eliza Grant and everything i have heard is bad news.” David pulled on her arm to stop her from approaching Eliza.

Phoebe pulled her hand away stubbornly. “Did you not listen when I said that she is a potential client? That means money and a chance to help either the human or the ghost.”

Whether Eliza was bad or good did not matter, warning her about the danger she was in was more important so Phoebe walked in her direction.

Eliza had just lit a cigarette but decided not to smoke. She dropped cigarette on the ground and stepped on it like she did all her problems. Her eyes lifted when she noticed a young red haired woman approach her.

“Detective? Are you here to help me? I mean you and I go way back. You know, we can enter into a mutually beneficial relationship, having connections to me can be rewarding.” She smiled at Phoebe slyly, hoping that she would bite into the offer.

As long as she said yes, she could be led a down the corrupt dark path of no return. Eliza had a few police officers, prosecutors and judges on her payroll. Adding one more would not cost her that much, especially if it was one that worked with the arrogant Shark.

Phoebe didn’t flinch on being called detective, with Amon’s help she had been given a position in the police as an independent police consultant.

Phoebe smiled coldly. “Yes i am here to help you Eliza. It would be sad if I woke up one morning and they told me that you died because of that ghost hovering around you.”

The smile on Eliza’s face fell immediately and her demeanor changed. Her reaction was not what Phoebe expected, no shock or looking around while squealing. She seemed angry which to Phoebe meant that she was not ignorant about the ghost.

“W…what?” She adjusted her face back to a neutral state and stammered. “How…who the hell are you really?” Eliza asked

“A shaman, I told you to visit the black ghost Cafe because I was worried.”

“You don’t have to worry your pretty red head about that, it’s taken care of.” Eliza touched her neck and began to walk away only to pause when Phoebe spoke.

“Perhaps but that talisman that you used to bind it is making you feel safe and making you arrogant but soon, and very soon, that female ghost will harm you personally like it’s doing to your business. You don’t think that all the problems you have encountered lately are a coincidence now, do you?” Phoebe slipped a business card in Eliza’s jacket pocket and walked to David who was waiting.

“She doesn’t seem like she will willingly give you her money.” David wore a victorious smug smile on his face.

“Are you happy that I failed to persuade a client?” Phoebe gave him a threatening gaze.

[Choose your next words very carefully Saxon.]

Shaking his head, David denied vehemently.

“Me! When did I do that?”
