Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 194

Chapter 194: News travelled quickly.

News really traveled really quickly in Citrus city it was everywhere by the time the sun came up that Ruth Mayfair had run crazy and that she was the newest resident of the old Lokler city asylum, a private facility which had been acquired by a mysterious owner in the night.

Some people blamed the cuckoo situation, others blamed the Mayfairs for not comforting her while some thought that Ruth deserved all the bad things that were happening to her.

The Mayfairs were just glad that nothing absurd had happened between her and Collin or else, the news would be different. It would not be news in fact, it would be a scandal.

When the family gathered for breakfast in the morning, they all discussed the current affairs and the events of the previous night. They had not stuck around to celebrate the rest of Evelyn’s birthday and left the hotel as soon as Collin could walk on his own.

Seeing Ruth’s name in the news, tied to the Mayfair name still made old lady Mayfair uncomfortable. She did not want people tracing Ruth’s last steps and tying her to Collin.

In light of all that had happened. she and Edward had been right to worry about Ruth’s closeness to Collin. Thank God they had thrown her out of the house or else who knows what she would have done under their roof?

Collin could barely eat, his hands were still trembling and every few seconds, he would caress the ring pendant around his neck. He would never__ever, take it off.

“I am so glad that there is a lot of gossip traveling around from the Freezing moon scandal to Kelly sleeping with her married boss. They won’t focus on this Ruth issue for long.” Grandma Mayfair commented.

Phoebe nodded in agreement, what they didn’t know was that by the end of the day a Verdemont bomb was going to blast covering all the current gossip.

“Collin, how are you?” Do you remember everything from last night?” Grandma Mayfair asked.

He nodded. “I feel like i am going to need a thousand more baths before feeling clean ever again.”

How could a woman attempt to rape a man? She had even claimed that she was pregnant!!! Thank God his soldier had refused to salute or he would be in trouble.

“I recommend you talk to someone.” Edward suggested.

He and Jennie were very worried about the side effects of this event on him. What if he stopped associating with women altogether? First he had been cuckolded by Kelly and then almost taken advantage of by Ruth. Both of them had held special places in his heart and both had let him down greatly,

Phoebe wasn’t really worried like them. Collin would eventually overcome what happened because he had a good support system.

“Brother, you just had some bad luck in the romance department but it’s over. The blockage is gone so you cane meet a nice woman now.” Phoebe offered a few words of comfort.

[Should i tell them that the perfect woman for him is Shana Lee from the Lee family. She is beautiful, graceful, kind, morally up right and she has an air of purity. She is a woman destined to bring luck to the man that marries her. But, this silly brother of mine, looking back at his ex girlfriends….tsk, tsk, he is not worthy of Shana.]

Phoebe sighed bid her parents goodbye and left with Grandma Mayfair.

Unknown to her, everyone had seen the Shana Lee thought and they wanted to do research on who she was, including Collin.

The moment they left the house, Edward invited his wife upstairs to their bedroom.

“Honey, how are you close to the Lee family? I have been heard that they have a young woman named Shana….”

Jennie gasped and pointed at him.

“You see Phoebe’s thoughts.”

Edward’s eyes widened and he grabbed her shoulders. “You too!” he exclaimed.

Jennie nodded. Husband and wife looked at each other and they laughed.

“This must be a gift to us from God, i don’t know how it’s possible for us to see it but we should keep it a secret. If not for Phoebe’s inner thoughts, Collin would have been ruined by Kelly and Ruth would have destroyed us.”

Jennie nodded firmly, she chose to see it as a divine miracle.

“Honey, hurry up and introduce Shana to Collin before another man snatches her up. You saw what Phoebe thinks, the woman is too good for Collin and yet she is perfect for him. I believe that these experiences have changed him, he is not a tunnel vision fool like before. We must make Shana our daughter-in-law quickly, with luck we will be able to get some grandchildren next year.”

Both of them laughed and started colluding for the happiness of their son.

***************************

When they got to the cafe, Evelyn was waiting for Phoebe. She was sitting cross legged on a stool near the counter engaged in deep gossip with Rosset that they didn’t hear the rattle bell chime or Phoebe walking up to them.

“Evie? I thought that you would be exhausted after yesterday.”

Evelyn got up from the stool and greeted Grandma Mayfair, she then dragged Phoebe by the hand to the stable in the corner.

“I want to know everything that i missed out on because i could not follow you. The fact that Ruth Mayfair, sorry Gabriel had gone crazy was all the guests were talking about at the party. Honestly after you guys left the excitement sort of died down for me because i wanted to so badly know what was going on. Now tell me what the hell happened to that psycho.” Evelyn locked her head and stared at her quizzically.

Phoebe wanted to move on from the topic but it was all anybody that knew Ruth or her and the Mayfairs was talking about. With Evelyn, she had no intentions of telling the whole story because it would eventually make it’s way into the homes of all the founding families and then the entire city.

“She tried to hurt my brother so I stopped her the only way I know how. Can you believe that she had me kidnapped and poisoned my Nana’s tonics. Ruth had to be stopped.”

Evelyn shook her head in wonder. “Ruth has always been selfish i am not surprised by any of the things that she has done, i am glad that she cannot hurt you or your family anymore.”

“Did you save me some cake?” Phoebe asked her.

“It’s already in the kitchen, inside the refrigerator. You missed the rest of my party so i want to show you pictures.”

Evelyn brought out her phone and she took Phoebe through all the expertly taken pictures. They talked for around thirty minutes about the party.

Shark showed up when the topic was moving to David, and Phoebe sighed in relief. As soon as the detective set his eyes on them, he walked over and took the initiative to introduce himself to Evelyn.

He knew how rich her family was, so he offered her his card and told her to call if she ever needed his help. After the greetings, Evelyn bid Phoebe goodbye and left.

Shark bounced on the tips of his toe; it was time for the big case.
