Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Linda’s revenge.

To the culprits who realized that it was over for them, this appeared to be the perfect chance to escape. While the others headed to the maze to dig for the bones, they could get away. They had all made preparations for this day, in case it ever came. Rather than go to prison, they planned to flee to Eagle country.

Phoebe was far ahead of them though, she had come here to carry out Linda’s revenge so how could the culprits escape from her grasp?

While the detectives left, David’s bodyguards stepped in and blocked the door, keeping the Verdemonts from leaving.

“Before we proceed, Brandon, Conrad and Abel should stay behind. Not just them, everyone whose name i read should not bother getting out.”

Phoebe got a paper from her pocket and she read the names. These were all the people that participated in whipping Linda or mistreating her in any form. Altogether, they were nine people.

“All of you harmed Linda in some way, causing her to become depressed and suicidal before her death. You called her the devil’s wife and poisoned her, ruined her reputation and denied her peace of mind. The time for reckoning has come.”

Her words were like bullets shot straight in their hearts, especially Abel was even frightened more.

“What! Linda was my wife, if something happened to her i was not involved. I loved her, ask anyone here and they can vouch for me.”

Phoebe chuckled. “Was? I guess you have no trouble believing that she is dead.”

Conrad tried to use force but his way was blocked one of the bodyguards.

“Didn’t you hear what she said? Take a seat now.” His bulging eyes stared at Conrad who swallowed hard and took a few steps backs.

“The rest of you can leave.” Phoebe told them

Quickly, the ones whose names had not been read rushed out, going in the direction of the maze. As for the nine who remained behind, they trembled as two bodyguards got ropes, similar to the ones used to beat up Linda back then and brought them down on their bodies cruelly.

The screams could be heard for miles and it was the return of three curious detectives that saved them. They were allowed to leave with the exception of the three criminal masterminds behind everything. Phoebe was feeling unsatisfied, Ekhart and his wife Emilia had hurt Linda just as much as the others. They deserved to be punished as well but it was not her place to do so.

Phoebe caught up with David on the way to the maze, she wanted to say something but Ekhart pulled on David’s hand as they walked and drew his attention.

“I do not understand why you stopped Brandon from coming out. You people don’t suspect that he had anything to do with his sister disappearing, do you? He is a good boy, not like his sister at all.”

David paused his step. “Mr. Verdermont are you even sad at all that your child is dead? At least your wife is speechless.”

Emilia jumped in, “Tsk, what is there to be sad about? The girl died on the day she committed adultery. What is sad is that she won’t be going to heaven but straight to hell.” She hurried her steps, unnerved by the judgemental looks she received from everyone.

When they reached at the center of the maze, Phoebe was confused because it wasn’t a small place. She didn’t know where they could start digging but fortunately Claire was there too. Shark called her because it was the forensics that dealt with such issues.

Claire was already there with her team and police officers were setting up a perimeter. The Verdemonts did not care for the perimeter and they tried to shove the officers out of the way.

“Everyone please stay behind the yellow tape, this is a crime scene.” Claire announced as she wore white gloves to complete her look.

“Oh hey Mayfair.” Claire teased Phoebe.

“Claire where are you even going to start from?” Phoebe asked.

If it was a difficult task, she would have the Saxon spirit do it or use her energy. She did not want to use her energy, a lot had been used when she used a drop of water from the lake of life and death on Ruth.

At the moment, even her life span had gone down, she had less than two months of life left.

Pointing to the equipment which was already being used Claire gave Phoebe and explanation. “We have ground penetrating radars, its the best way to find remains beneath the surface without digging up the entire maze. You will know when we find something.”

She left and Phoebe used the opportunity to lean against David to suck some energy. She studied the faces of the Verdemonts that had come out to witness with their eyes whether it was true or false that Linda had really been here all this time.

Some of them looked worried, probably because it would affect the reputation of their family. There were those that felt sorry and guilty, they had condemned Linda verbally back then. If she had been murdered by Abel, they had contributed to her death.

The environment was solemn, not a single smiling face around, only frowns and whispers. Twenty minutes in and someone screamed.

“Over here, i have found something!”

The forensics team and police officers started digging immediately. Less than a minute in, they found a skull which was retrieved and seen by everyone.

The evidence caused the old patriarch to stagger backwards.

“Oh God” he cried.

Her father gasped as well, in shock, just as the rest of the family did. All this time none of them knew that Linda was buried in the maze and they even held parties in this place, over her body.

“Ho…how is this possible? After all these years no one knew?”

Ekhart shivered,he was not as hardened of heart as his wife. “How….who buried her here?”

David tapped his shoulder once. “Now you are asking the important question.”

For a while, they all stayed and watched as bone after bone was retrieved and Claire confirmed it was the body of a woman. There was no more denying it, unless a DNA test said otherwise, this was Linda.

Phoebe announced that they leave the scene and return to the house. It was time to lay everything out in the open. Nobody doubted Phoebe anymore and they followed her instructions, returning to the parlor.

The grave looks on their faces, the snivels among some of the women and the glares which were sent Abel’s way, confirmed to the three men that the remains had been found.

Phoebe didn’t waste a moment, she immediately started revealing the truth.

“Linda’s biggest problem was her parents…you Emilia and Ekhart. You should have listened to her when she told you that she didn’t want to marry Abel.”

Emilia moved forward and perched in the chair. “What? So now it’s our fault that we choose a good man for her?”

Nodding her head, Phoebe looked straight into Emilia’s wide eyes. “That good man killed her.”
