Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Who will be the rescuer of the day?

Her refusal compelled Amon to pull his brows together in a frown.

“Why not? He’s perfect for the job. He’s always jumping from one party to another and let’s be honest, after David Saxon, Andre Mayfair has a VIP pass to every nightclub in the country.”

David laughed mockingly and raised his hands to his waist. Obviously they were quick to hope that Amon would be useful. “Andre? You think that guy can do this, he is just as much of a risk as i am. Are you certain you want him?”

“Yes, why not? I agree with the deputy chief on this one, we are short on time and racing to the finish line. Did you not hear me tell you that Amaro and Sully have been frantically searching for something in the evidence which was taken from the Freezing moon club? It is obvious that they are looking for the memory card. We have to use the resources we have on hand.” Shark’s words earned him a sharp gaze from Phoebe.

He averted his eyes from hers and looked at Amon, he would not be guilted into changing his opinion.

“He’s a clumsy young man, a lot of things could go wrong. What would we tell the Mayfairs if he ended up like Paula. No offense ladies.” Dread swallowed David’s whole by just thinking of all the things that would go wrong.

“So do you have any other famous person in mind?” Amon spoke in a raised tone, his frustration very visible now.

David regarded him with a cold piercing gaze. “Yes as a matter of the fact I do.” His voice was equally raised.

Tempers were beginning to flare so Phoebe chimed in. “Who? Tell us, any option is better than Andre.”

“Me. I will do it.” David stated.

Silence took over, they knew how much David had invested to clean his image yet he was willing to ruin it all to stop Phoebe from entering the poisonous club. Amon knew that he was doing it out of love but this one night could ruin his reputation, the Freezing moon was still hot off a scandal.

“Listen David, we may not be the best of friends but….”

“Fine, let’s have David to do it.” Phoebe announced. David was right about Andre being a clumsy person, what if he drunk heavily and blabbered ever?

More importantly while they had been going back and forth, it hit her that David did not even need to go into the club and neither did she. One, she had ghosts that could do the job and two, she could even use paper men. It did not matter who brought in the memory card, all that mattered was that it fell into their hands.

Amon clasped his hands behind his back. “Alright, however if this goes south. I do not want my name brought up.”

Paula raised her hand half way. “There is one problem here, the decorative dish is in the ladies rest room. David is a man, last time I checked.”

Shark sighed in frustration, their woes were never ending, it seemed. David however was unfazed by the revelation.

“Drunk men enter the ladies rest rooms accidentally all the time, i can fake it for a minute and get the card.”

“I know that everyone is tired so why don’t you all leave this part to David and I, we can tackle it easily without alerting the security.” Phoebe tapped David’s back. “You two should go back and start preparing to make some big arrests because some of the names Paula gave me are big, and i mean big.”

Phoebe efficiently closed the meeting and literally shoved Shark and Amon to leave. They all left the cemetery and walked to the maze gardens.

As they walked, Amon whispered to David. “The feeling is mutual.”

“Excuse me?” David stopped in his tracks.

“I heard you say that you don’t like me very much. Well that feeling is mutual, if you mess up what you have with her. Then I will swoop in and save her from you.” He warned before increasing his pace to meet up with Shark who was walking ahead of them.

David smirked, it sounded like Amon knew how not to be a third wheel or mistress in their relationship. He was glad that Amon wasn’t going to pursue Phoebe until he messed up. He was never going to mess up however, not in this life. He had done that in the past and he regretted it so much. He put a hand on Phoebe’s waist and walked on proudly.

On reaching the reception area where tents had been set up for an outdoor party, Phoebe was greeted by more than a few hateful stares from the Verdemonts. They still blamed her for everything that had happened to them.

“I cannot believe that she is bold enough to show her face here. Why does David even see in her?” Camilla’s words permeated to Phoebe’s ears.

“Maybe she charmed him, i heard that she sells love portions too.” Said the girl that was sitting next to her.

“Hmph, it must be true, nothing else can explain why David is hooked around her finger like an idiot.” Emilia commented.

They continued to discuss Phoebe but she did not care, she was looking at the place where Linda’s body had once laid.

The tents in the gardens had been brightly decorated with string lights. The center of the gardens where Linda’s body had been had been renovated rather quickly.

A marble sculpture of the god of the light faith had been placed there. Phoebe did not even know what to think, she could not even enjoy this celebration of Luther’s life and she was not the only one.

The mood was dull despite all the food and drinks that were available in addition to the rather cheerful music which Ekhart had claimed were all his father’s favorite songs. Most people were not in the mood to party, after all a funeral was a funeral.

Phoebe meandered through the crowd and reached the table allocated to the Mayfair’s. She was surprised to find Collin Baltimore sited with her family members.

Her eyes as always went to his head first, the golden hair on his head was curled more than usual and longer than it had been when she last saw it.

[Goldie, did you come for a funeral or to walk down a runway?]

“Pheebs! You didn’t tell us that you knew such a handsome and charming young man. Why did you hide him from us.” Jennie gestured for Phoebe to come over and sit down, excitedly.
