Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Finally, a confession.

The words spoken by Emilia left a bad taste in Phoebe’s mouth and it wasn’t just her but David and the officers too. The woman was lamenting about how they would be perceived by the church and how it would lead her to loosing her deaconess position in the church.

Not one word out of her mouth was pity for her dead daughter or condemnation for her killers. It was truly baffling!

Phoebe wondered if Emilia had been brainwashed in that faith because all they seemed to care about was it. Had she been promised a ticket to heaven?

“Emilia, did you clearly process anything that the young Shaman said? Linda was killed by these idiots because she discovered their secret!” David yelled at her in a raised voice.

He was so disappointed by the reaction of the people that were supposed to care the most about Linda, except Luther of course. David couldn’t tell who was worse between Emilia and his own mother.

No, he could see a difference, his mother was a schemer and Emilia was insane like Ruth.

“Yes I heard! I heard it all and I still think that Brandon is being framed here. How could he have just watched as Abel killed his sister?” Emilia croaked.

Tears actually sprouted out of her eyes, she was devastated but all for the wrong reasons.

Phoebe had seen shameless people but some of the Verdemonts were just sick in the head. She thought that they would be repentant about what they had done to Linda but no they were dry eyed and cold.

Ekhart shed a tear or two but all he did was mumble about how the stock prices were going to plummet the moment the news got out. The rest of the family kept whispering to one another about what was going on.

“It was a bloody disaster when she was alive and her death is going to be another scandal.” Phoebe heard Camilla whisper.

She was worried about her marriage prospects when news was leaked that she had a brother that had participated in this depravity. Even her newly acquired queen bee position was going to be lost.

Phoebe’s eyes moved to Emilia who like a crazy person kept insisting that Brandon wasn’t part of anything.

“He must have been indoctrinated by those two idiots into this whole thing but we shall call the priests to pray for him.” Emilia began to recite a prayer.

The only person that could make sure that Brandon paid for his crimes was the old patriarch who was watching his family with his eyes glazed, filled with an expression of shame and disappointment.

“My God, no wonder Linda could not stand you people!” Phoebe exclaimed. “Old patriarch, Linda could have survived that day. After capturing images of Abel and Conrad she ran out of the maze only to bump into Brandon. She was relieved thinking that he was going to help her but instead, he dragged her back into the maze, kicked her in the ribs and watched as Abel strangled her. When all was said and done, he and his lovers buried her right there and slandered her to hide the truth.” Phoebe added to the accusations, pouring everything out in a part growl-part yell.

Her words elicited a loud ‘WHAT’ from the listeners and all of them turned to Brandon.The whispers started going around immediately as the relatives discussed what they had just heard.

“It can’t be.”

“No way.”

“That is crazy, completely crazy.”

“Oh my God!! this can’t be true.”

There were those however that still refused to believe, especially Emilia.

“How do we know that she is telling the truth? This sounds insane, Brandon is my son, Linda’s own brother. He could never do something like that, it looks like this little crooked shaman is writing a script or a novel. She is making up stories, can’t you see that. Someone come and throw this bitch out of my house.” Emilia glared at Phoebe.

Conrad raised his hand and shouted frantically as he struggled against the detectives holding him back. “It’s not a lie, i was there and it went down exactly as she says it did. Detective i am willing to testify to get a lighter sentence.”

“You fucking traitor!” Brandon leaped at Conrad as he hissed but he was caught by officers before he could land a single blow on his partner in crime. Brandon was enraged that he revealed information without meaning to. “If it wasn’t for your stupidity there would be no incriminating evidence and we wouldn’t be in this position!

In fact, if you and Abel had just reigned in your lust and kept it behind closed doors in a hotel Linda would not have had to die.” He turned to face his Emilia.”Mother please save me, I don’t want to go to jail.”

Gasps went around the room and someone even fainted from the shock. He had just admitted to everything Phoebe had accused him, Conrad and Abel of.

Ekhart stood up and yanked on Brandon’s hand, trying to get him away from the detectives. “You are not going to jail! This evidence is not incriminating enough. Conrad and Abel are the only criminals here so detectives take them away and leave my house.” His remarks forced the old patriarch to let out a loud groan that compelled them all to keep quiet.

“All the people that were involved in Linda’s death are going to be punished by law including Brandon. Officers take them away!” Luther ordered.

Shark took out the silver cuffs and went ahead to put them around Conrad’s hands, he put up no resistance at all.

Abel on the other hand struggled. “Father, mother please what will the church say, think of the reputation of the family. Aren’t you influential, please you can make this go away.” He cried as he was cuffed.

Emilia blocked detective Jones from taking Brandon out of the house.

“Not my son! Our reputation is going to be ruined, he made a small mistake back then. What he did wasn’t intentional.” She shrieked loudly at the detective.

Jones shoved her gently but the woman stayed put, holding on to her son by his shirt and pulling.

“Father please, think about how our name will be dragged through the mud, are you okay with that?” Emilia’s narrowed eyes scanned Luther’s face.

“I do not care, you will have to face the consequences of being hurtles. None of you present here is innocent, you all bullied Linda in one way or another and i am going to make you pay for it.

I cannot even trust any of you anymore, i cannot sleep with both eyes closed out of fear for what you are capable of. It was Linda then and tomorrow it could be me in her position.

When did this family start giving birth to parents that eat their own children and brothers that kill their sisters? I am very disappointed in all of you.” Luther stared at each of them with venomous eyes. “Little shaman, please follow me to my office.” He raised to his feet with the help of the butler.
