Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: An emotional reunion.

There was a scuffle but Brandon was whisked away by Shark and his team, the Verdemonts tried to put up a fight but they couldn’t defeat the physically stronger police officers.

“Guards! Don’t allow them to take him.” Emilia shouted.

They approached but Shark warned them that he would arrest them for obstruction of justice if they interfered. The butler shared the stance of the old patriarch with them and then they stayed put. They figured quickly that it was better not to get involved.

The criminals were driven away in police vehicles whose sirens were loud. It was like they wanted all the residents of the luxurious neighborhood to know what had happened at the Verdermont residence.

The rest of the family could only watch helplessly and figure out what to do next. Not all of them were foolish, Nina Verdemont, Luther’s daughter had seen her father’s reaction and read the room. She whispered to her husband and children that they should go to the morgue and at least display some care for Linda.

At the end of the day, they had not participated in her torture and never knew what was going on with her. The rate at which Ekhart and Emilia were going, they were about to be dethroned and someone had to take the crown.

Others started contacting their public relations officers to start strategizing. A few were immersed in their own troubles, figuring out how the scandal would affect them.

With the involvement of Shark, the whole country would know what happened to Linda within an hour probably.

Camilla was among the ones indulging in self pity. She shook Emilia’s arm continuously trying to wake her up out of the shock she was in.

“Our family is going to be embarrassed before the founding council. We will have to avoid social gatherings for a year at least, I cannot afford to live in hiding! Mother, do something before we are all ruined.”

Emilia just kept on looking in the direction the cars had taken, in a near catatonic state.

“I cannot allow this news to spread, Paul keep an eye on the tabloids, news should be controlled. My biggest worry is the stocks father doesn’t care because he is dying any time soon.” Ekhart folded his hand into a fist and marched into the house.

Camilla pinched her mother’s arm and Emilia came back to life. She run after husband, screaming her own worries like a shrew.

“The church cannot hear of this news, my God i feel like i am about to lose it all. I am afraid Ekhart.” Tears sprouted from her eyes.

“We are one of the richest families in Fog country, we can protect our selves. With money everything is possible, so everyone calm down. We can pay Conrad and irresistible amount and he will keep his mouth shut about Brandon’s involvement.” Paul Verdemont joined them and he sat down in a chair, completely relaxed.

In reality, he was smiling on the inside, with Brandon out of the way, his own son had an opportunity to rise. Paul was not a believer in the church, he believed in money more than anything.

David listened to them in utter shock, his family had its issues but the Verdemonts were a rotten bunch truly, his eyes moved at the door of the study where Phoebe had entered.

What was she discussing with the old man, away from everyone else?

Inside the study, the old patriarch had just calmed down again, after taking a tonic Phoebe offered him. He pushed the bottle to the side and put his walking cane on the desk. Finally, he leaned back in brown leather chair and faced her.

“Thank you for your help little shaman. I thought that at my age i had seen it all in my life but today proved me wrong. That poor girl deserved a better family than this group of beasts, if i had known i would have sent her abroad to my cousin in Silver nation.”

He dabbed at the corners of his eyes with a white tissue. “It’s always the good people that suffer the most in this world, Linda had such a pure heart…” he broke down and cried silently for a few seconds.

Luther shook his head and looked at Phoebe again with red eyes, “I don’t have the will to live anymore, i want to be at peace just like Linda is now, but before I do that I plan to destroy this family. I want them to feel as much if not more pain than what my poor grand daughter went through. If they had been remorseful I would have perhaps reconsidered but no they are worried over materialistic things.” He paused and sipped on some water.

“I am going to visit the police station and testify to the rotten character of those three murderers. When i am done, i will begin making preparations to let go of all these material things. My body is already failing, the doctors say i do not have more than a year left. I should have died a long time ago but I was holding on to life until i found Linda. I will support you in whatever way I can such that you can help more people like me.”

Phoebe had mixed reactions flowing within her, she was sad from hearing his words but at the same time grateful that she could help him.

“Mr. Luther, you have already given me enough, it’s all the support I need. There is also a way you can talk to Linda, i can arrange it if you are interested.” She gave him a warm inquisitive smile.

The old man’s distressed face perked up. “Is there? Can I see her one more time please, I will be very grateful.”

The Saxon spirit placed the ghost’s notebook on the table.

She communicated to Phoebe directly in her mind. “He is not left with much time, i can feel it, death is already stalking him.”

Phoebe opened her mouth and the spirit sealed it, shaking its head.

“Do not warn him, it’s not your place to decide his life and death. You cannot change his fate anyway, he wants to die.”

Phoebe sighed, got up and stepped out briefly to call in David. She put a hand in her bag and took Linda’s belongings out. The Saxon spirit was actually transferring hem from the magical space directly to the bag.

Luther carefully put them away, handling them like they were so precious.

“David touch my shoulder.” Phoebe requested.

Just like the last time she chanted a spell, wrote in the book and told Linda to appear if she wanted to talk to her poppy. Immediately, Linda’s reflection appeared as if it had been on the other side waiting for this moment.

As soon as they traded gazes, grandfather and granddaughter begun to cry and apologize to each other in an emotional reunion.

Phoebe couldn’t help but cry with them on the other hand David’s focus was on the pendant. He was wondering why each time he touched Phoebe the pendant glowed.

It was like he had a special connection to it. ‘Charger!’

The word came to his thoughts, Phoebe always referred to him as her charger.

Was he charging it? Why? What was it for? He wondered.
