Chapter 190: Evelyn’s birthday
Evelyn’s annual birthday dinner was all about feasting and having fun as there were so many games to engage in and prizes to win. Her parents had gone all out for their youngest child just like they did every year, sparing no expense to put a smile on her face.
There was a fully stocked buffet with various foods, all exquisite, cooked by top chefs. Expensive wine was flowing endlessly as if it was nothing but plain water.
Evelyn’s favorite band Island dream was up on stage singing their latest hit song, the lead singer a popular female singer named Dawn was serenading everyone with her soft voice.
Evelyn was singing along to the song, standing in the midst of her brothers and sisters. She looked like a royal princess in her eye catching turquoise colored dress that was glowing with real diamonds.
When she was poor, in her past life, Phoebe never got the chance to attend Evelyn’s birthday. One, she was embarrassed because she had nothing nice to wear. Two, Ruth always made sure that she was unavailable on that day.
She only started attending after she married David and it only happened once because it didn’t end well. Someone had pushed her, she fell on the cake and made a mockery of herself. After that, David’s mother had forbidden her from ever going for a function not related to the family lest she humiliate the Saxons with her poor upbringing.
Phoebe let out a soft sigh which caught her father’s attention. He jumped to the conclusion that she was envious because she had never had such a party.
“We can do this for you and more if you want us to dear daughter.”
They had more money than Evelyn’s family, so they could afford to throw her a even bigger party. All she had to do was say the word.
Shaking her head, Phoebe smiled gently at the father. “Birthdays are not really my thing dad, like i said, i don’t have good memories of any of them.” Besides, a big party like this was useless for her as she didn’t have many friends. Why invite strangers and act awkward? What if a ghost came along and she acted weird?
Thinking of ghosts made her eyes roam around, she counted eight of them in the room. None had approached her for anything.
“Ohh come on darling, how about we make new memories. I am sorry that those Gabriel pigs left you with horrible memories for such an important day but we have to change that. Birthdays are important, as your mother i want to celebrate the day i had my lovely baby girl.” Jennie took her hand and tried to convince her.
Phoebe mulled on it for a second, there was nothing wrong with making new memories especially with her family. This was her life now and she wasn’t going to live it while dwelling on the hurtful old memories.
When she saw how eagerly they were all looking at her with hope in their eyes, she couldn’t say no. Why refuse to be loved in this life?
“Maybe we can start small.” She told them.
“Oh thank God!” Andre exhaled loudly like he had been holding in his breath for hours. I am going to do all the planning then.” Andre raised his hand only for Jennie to dismiss him.
“No way Andre, i am going to do it.” She announced, so excited for the opportunity.
Edward laughed gently. “Our daughter said we should start small. That means no grand orchestra or inviting so many strangers.”
He had a bright idea in his mind that he planned to share with his wife later.
David who was glued to the Mayfairs gave Phoebe a side glance. In the past life he never understood why Phoebe didn’t like celebrating her birthday but now he knew why, it was the Gabriels. He wrinkled his nose as he felt that he hadn’t punished them enough.
He moved his chair behind her, ruining the sitting arrangement as the tables were round.
“Oh for heavens sake!” Jennie whispered.
The Saxon boy was like a cockroach that just wouldn’t be killed. The Saxons had a table but here he was, clinging onto her daughter, He was like a baby and she, the mother.
Phoebe had already sensed the change in her emotions so she turned her head to look at him. He had frown lines on his forehead and his eyes were tense.
She poked his forehead gently and drew her hand back. “What are you thinking about so deeply? The research center?”
David’s eyes moved around, this was information that he didn’t want out there just yet.
“Did Granny tell you? I was going to tell you but only after I succeeded. The last thing I want is for you to think that i can’t make it on my own. I want to show you that i can climb up through my own efforts, i want you to be proud of me Phoebe.”
Such simple words, yet they made her heart flutter easily like tiny waves making a ripple on the ocean. She smiled warmly at him and replied softly.
“It’s better to fail and try again than to give up, you are worried over nothing. I know how intelligent you are and i believe that you can do it. I advise that you start with a cough remedy and be sure to use the ivy leaf in your medicine.”

[There will be a viral cough outbreak soon and if you do as I say you will make a lot of money. Wait, if he is reborn then he knows about it too.]
David looked deep in her eyes after reading her thoughts. He knew about what she was talking about in fact he was already in contact with the herbalist that grew that specific kind of ivy leaf on a large scale.
She had been so determined not to help him but she was already doing it.
“What if I asked you to partner with me, would you?” He asked casually.
“Not now.”
[I have to see how you do on your own first.]
David nodded continuously, maybe he had rushed in suggesting it however he was determined to convince her. She could just lay back and collect money, she didn’t need to do any of the work.
He actually already planned to give her half of the company shares once it took off.
“Where is Collin by the way?” David asked her out of the blue.
If he was here, he would have chased him away already.
Collin was sitting at the bar, drinking like a fish and not participating in all the fun. He was furious because he had been trying to find Ruth but failed. His reasons for searching for her were not kind, he wanted to pluck out her eyes and make her suffer for the damage she had done.
He had discovered today that she had sold some company information. All of her visits to his office were never innocent, she was the mole they had been looking for.
He had been getting calls from an unknown number persistently and he had been rejecting them. Out of frustration, he gave up and picked the tenth call.
Immediately, the person on the end broke into tears.
“He…hello? Brother, Collin.” She sniveled. “Please I need your help my father wants to kill me.” Ruth stammered.
“Where are you?” His voice was stern as he sobered up immediately.
“I am hiding at the Everton Hotel, room 112” She hung up.
