Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Good intentions

In the business circle, D.P holdings had made a name for itself after collaborating with some of the biggest companies in Fog country. Collin was very intrigued because it had gained momentum at a very fast pace for a new company.

The real boss behind the company was a myth, a rumored investment genius that had just returned from abroad. He or she did not take meetings with anyone, so the identity was a well guarded secret.

Many founding families had made visits to D.P holdings, looking to form connections with them. Collin thought that perhaps he could finally unveil the identity of this mysterious boss through Phoebe.

Meeting geniuses in the business circle was one of his favorite things to do. Collin loved interacting with such people as they discussed the possible financial trends of the future and helped each other grow bigger.

Cornwell scratched the left side of his cheek and shook his head. It was not that he did not want to share information, he just didn’t have much to share.

“So this D.P holdings, what has it got to do with our Phoebe?” Collin repeated the question, his face was burning with curiosity.

Phoebe and David traded gazes and smiled as they were the only two in the room that knew who the actual owner was. Now that David had gifted her with half of his shares she owned it too.

She tore her gaze away from him and focused on Cornwell. For now, she had no plans to share the fact she was a part owner of D.P holdings.

“Mr. Collin with all due respect I don’t have to reveal anything to you, only to Miss Phoebe here and only after she accepts the inheritance left behind for her.” A smile struggled to form on his lips but it slipped away.

Cornwell wasn’t a fool, he was aware that whoever was the brains behind D.P holdings, he or she was powerful. They had done a great job at hiding their identity and if they remained on the current path would become a financial giant in Fog country.

He thought it was best not to speculate on who the owner was or how Phoebe came to cross paths with them. What he knew was that David Saxon was the one that sent Luther to D.P holdings.

Collin arched an eyebrow, discontent with Cornwell’s answer but it was not like he could cajole him into telling him what he wanted to hear so he gave up with a snort.

“Phoebe sweetheart you are really quiet and we would like to know what you think about all this.” Edward smiled warmly but a little worriedly.

He feared for what his daughter was about to sign up for in case she agreed. The Verdemonts wouldn’t leave her alone, they would come after her continuously. The evidence was there, after all they had attacked her once before.

“Mr. Luther Verdemont wanted me to take it so I will. I’ll help as many people as I can with the gift he left me. There are many missing people out there that can’t be found due to lack of resources, impoverished ones that can’t get an education, sickly ones that can’t go to hospitals, old and lonely folks that can’t afford care homes, hungry kids on the streets that are starving and so on.

I will do charity in Luther and Linda’s names, making sure that they will never be forgotten. The foundation will be put to good use.” Phoebe answered, her voice was soft but strong enough to let everyone know that she had made up her mind.

Collin pulled her closer to him. “That was quick baby sister, i think you should take your time and think about this. While your intentions are good, the Verdemonts are ungrateful wolves that did not hesitate to put one of their own through hell.

We will protect you with everything we have of course but you need to know what you are signing up for if you accept the foundation.

I also advise that you find out more about this D.P holdings or whomever that you’ll be working with so that they don’t take advantage of you.” Thin lines of worry etched on his forehead.

There were hundreds of billions at stake, he did not want Phoebe to be cheated or accused of embezzlement. Many foundations in the country had come to an end because of such scandals.

“Oh big brother stop being a wuss! Phoebe is a big girl she can handle this. Besides she has us to watch over her. We should be happy for her not scaring her!” Andre spoke.

He had seen first hand during Desire Caldwell’s case that Phoebe needed a lot of money to help unfortunate ghosts and although the Mayfair’s had a lot of money to support her cause, it wouldn’t hurt to get more.

Grandma Mayfair on the other hand agreed with Collin and so did Jennie who nodded continuously as fear gnawed at her.

“Listen to your eldest brother sweetheart, you said it yourself that you have closed the Verdemont chapter. If it’s a foundation you want, we can start one for you as well.” Her pleading eyes stared helplessly at Phoebe.

They were divided, some supporting her decision and others against it. Phoebe’s mind was already made up however no matter what.

“Guys come on, i am Phoebe Mayfair. A shaman with ghosts to protect me, you all have nothing to worry about. As for D.P holdings, i am certain that old man Luther thought long and hard before trusting them with his fortune. They must be great people to work with.”

Behind her assuring smile was a nervous person that had no idea what she was signing up for. She had no idea where to start from in running a foundation worth billions.

Cornwell clapped once. “That’s settled then, Miss Phoebe I’ll arrange for a meeting between you and Mr. Morgan Skesgard, the director of D.P holdings but before that please sign those papers and hand me a copy.” A victorious smile made it’s way on his lips.

Without hesitation, Phoebe took the papers from her father, a gentle smile danced on her lips as she used slight force to pull them from his unwilling grasp.

“Father it is okay, I know what i am doing, please trust me.”

Edward sighed and surrendered. Rather than fighting against her decision, he decided to help her by finding her assistants and other necessary employees she would need to run the foundation.

Knowing his daughter, nothing was going to pull her away from her ghost work.

She signed the forms, retained a copy and gave the lawyer his own.

“I’ll be calling you soon Miss Phoebe.” He nodded once at her, then at grandma Mayfair and finally at Edward before leaving.

Edward sighed, a loud and long sigh. “Well Phoebe made her decision all we can do is support her.” He declared softly.

“Call me whenever you need me baby sis.” Collin finally gave in.

“Same here.” Luke nodded once, shut and opened his eyes.

Andre’s brows danced. “As always I’ll be at your beck and call. I bet we are about to help multiple ghosts and take on numerous exciting adventures.”

Grandma Mayfair exhaled slowly, silently she prayed that no trouble came to Phoebe because of what Luther had left her. It was truly a big gift but whether it was good or bad, only time would tell.

They just needed to be ready for the Verdemonts, those evil spawns would be coming for Phoebe.
