Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: May the best woman win.

Phoebe figured that she had played the dumb game long enough. If tonight had strengthened anything, it was the doubts in her mind which she had about her family. Before rebirth, she had been the good daughter that always did as her parents asked and the things that were happening now did not happen then.

She never got to see the extremes to which her parents adored Ruth to the point of dying for her voluntarily in a dangerous situation. Phoebe figured either she wasn’t their biological daughter or Ruth was their real daughter. There was also a possibility that maybe she was their daughter but so was Ruth and somehow she ended up with the Mayfairs.

It could also be that all three of those things were true. The one possibility she didn’t even consider was that maybe she was a Mayfair. This was because the Mayfairs had black or blonde hair. Her red hair did not fit in with their family’s physical appearance.

She had never met any of the Mayfairs in person before or after rebirth. Ruth had always made sure not to invite her to the Mayfair house.

The Saxon spirit appeared next to her with three silver needles and three paper men. Phoebe had seen the paper men before. They were exactly that, little paper men who were infused with energy and sent to do some tasks.

“I overheard you telling that detective to investigate your family . I think it’s a smart idea. Those people are too biased, and their love for that Ruth is too abnormal. The paper men will go and get some blood samples. Let’s do a bloodline spell and see if you have blood ties.”

She waved her hand and the car window was lowered. The little paper men jumped out and used the wind to fly all the way to Gabriel house which was still dark.

“You are pale.” Phoebe was looking at the Saxon spirit and she couldn’t miss the fact that it looked drained, more than usual. “It’s the spell to give life to the papermen, isn’t it?”

“I will be fine….” the spirit had a second thought and shook its head. “I mean, i am nearly drained. Why don’t you…..”

Someone knocked on the window of the car, drawing Phoebe’s attention and she looked away from the spirit. It was Ruth, at Phoebe’s car, knocking on the window with one hand while trying to open the car door with another.

“Seriously, this pretentious bitch…” the spirit groaned.

Phoebe raised herself and opened the car door. She stepped out with a cold attitude. Her face was so tight and stoic that even someone living on the moon would be able to see that she was unhappy.

Ruth grabbed her arm while saying coquettishly, “Pheebs, i am sorry.”

Phoebe raised her hand, preventing Ruth from touching her. Ruth in turn reacted as expected. Her eyes welled up automatically and she lowered her head.

In a small voice, she explained herself. “I didn’t tell aunt and uncle to give your bedroom away. Aunt sent me pictures of your room and I only said that it was a shame that such a big beautiful room with a great view was unoccupied all the time since you don’t live there.

She raised her eyes up and batted her eyelashes extravagantly. “As for the stealing my fiancé thing, uncle also misunderstood. I came over to see Evelyn and aunt noticed that my eyes were swollen from so much crying. When she asked me what was wrong, i told her that we fought over a man. Everything that happened after is not my fault. You heard me back there in the house, i tried to stop uncle from calling you those horrible names.”

“He is not your fiancé.” Phoebe stated coldly while Ruth was still directing and acting in her own drama.

Ruth clenched her hands ans smiled stiffly.

“It’s a joke between our grandmothers, his and mine. But our families are seriously considering…”

“David Saxon has been on the front page of every newspaper, on social media and different magazines as the face of playboys in Fog country up until last year. If your two families were talking marriage, those pictures of him with different actresses, models, singers and other beautiful women would not have reached the public. The Saxons literally have every media house in this country in their pockets.”

Ruth’s face fell because her lies were not being believed. “You speak as if you know the Saxons.”

Phoebe shrugged.

“You are not throwing yourself at David, are you? Let me warn you right now, his family will never accept you. You seem to be forgetting your place Phoebe. You….’

A loud and unexpected slap fell on Ruth’s face before she could finish giving her warning. It took both Ruth and the Saxon spirit by surprise.

“You…you slapped me.”

Piak!!

Another slap landed on her other cheek before she could finish processing the shock of the first one.

Ruth’s eyes teared up, bringing forth real tears this time round. She had met an unexpected challenge in Phoebe. Never did she imagine that the little worm she had stepped on would find the guts to squirm.

Phoebe wasn’t done and she shoved Ruth, pushing her down onto the ground. “It’s you that happens to be forgetting your place. How dare you make suggestions about my life, in my house?”

She scoffed and sneered at Ruth. “What, I am being funded by a man! You said that to me in public, when my clients could hear and then you laughed it off as a joke. How stupid do you think i am?”

Phoebe flipped her hair back and she added, “I have been thinking about things for a while and i have decided to make your wishes real. Since you think that i am seducing him, a man i have never met by the way, then i might as well do it. I will seduce David Saxon. You can seduce him too, try your best to win his heart. Ruth, may the best woman win.”

She opened her car door and started it, almost running Ruth over and the woman had to crawl to get away from Phoebe who was suddenly acting crazy.
