Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Liars undressed.
The silence that fell in the living room was like a bomb going off and reducing everything to smithereens, eliminating all life on earth. After a few seconds of silence, the riffling of papers and mutters of disbelief could be heard.

David had prepared financial records, medical records, private text messages and pictures too. Even the Saxon spirit came out of the space to take a look at the evidence which was damning.

Rufus could not believe his eyes and ears, but the evidence spoke for itself. His curious eyes moved to David, wondering where he had found all the pictures of Moria, Quincy and their love child.

Even though he did not know from where the evidence had come, he was grateful because it gave him the upper hand.

“You have to forgive me my old friend,” He began to speak, trying to sound serious but the amusement in his voice could not be hidden. “But I have to say that these pictures paint a different story from what you are claiming! In fact, I am beginning to feel offended because you had the guts to show up here at a time when my family is in mourning to hoodwink us.” He arched an eyebrow, trying as much as he could to stop himself from snapping at the old man.

“You must think that we are easy to fool.” Grandma Saxon chimed in.

“Who is loose now?” Valerie cackled softly.

Edward let out a pretend cough. “Actually, there was a rumor about Moria possibly being pregnant around the time she disappeared.” His head spun to the left to look at his wife. “You remember honey? You told me so yourself.” He had a mild faraway look in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, Jennie would be angry that her husband had revealed information that she had told him in confidence, but this was not one of those times. “Yes! Of course, I remember it was a quiet whisper that died down quickly. Someone mentioned that she had been seen throwing up more often and her stomach was rounder.” Her shoulders lifted and fell.

Celine let out a loud scoff, the sound was rude as it was demeaning. “Of course you did, it was you that spread those baseless rumors because you were jealous of my daughter.

Initially you sent that pretentious cuckoo of yours Ruth after David, but he did not want her and when you found your real daughter, you sent her to him as well. If this is not a conspiracy by the Mayfair’s I don’t know what is.

All this time you had your eyes on our son in-law. Who knows what this little witch of yours may have used a charm him after all that is her specialty.” She flipped her hair and rolled her eyes towards the artistic ceiling.

“I have to say the same thing.” Katherine’s voice dripped with malice as she chimed in. “We would rather have Moria as David’s wife than that shaman witch.”

The smug look on her face was wiped away quickly when her mother slapped her, stunning everyone. Nobody ever imagined that a day would come when Miranda would slap the daughter she once pampered like an egg.

“Mom!” Katherine massaged her flushed cheek, tendrils of pain navigated through her flesh.

Miranda’s unapologetic eyes glared at Katherine fiercely. “No Phoebe slander will be tolerated in this house!” She snarled.

Miranda clenched her fingers to hold back from adding another slap to the first one. Everyone else digested the surprise slap and Miranda’s newly found obsessive defense of Phoebe for a while.

Phoebe blinked a few times; she was the most confused person out of everyone. Surely, the bracelet was not so effective that it made mother turn against her daughter completely!

“I agree, there will be no Phoebe slander in this house, or I will apply the Saxon family law.” Grandma Saxon backed up Miranda’s words. “And as for you Celine, there is nothing we can do now for David has already found a wife. How dare you plot to get him to marry your secondhand daughter! If your intention was to make us a laughingstock of the founding families then it has failed.” She spoke in a dead pan voice.

Tension ravaged the room and tempers flared, but there were muffles of laughter from people like Maureen, Acacia and Andre.

“Second hand? Did you call my daughter a secondhand product?” Celine questioned furiously.

“What else should I call her?” grandma Saxon retorted.

“Harlot.” Grandma Mayfair muttered.

As words were exchanged, people’s heads moved back and forth from one woman to another and then Moria who looked like she wanted to melt into the floor. If nothing was done the ladies were about to start exchanging words.

Grandpa Rufus requested for silence. “Now, I think there are some things that need clarification because you Mortimer’s are wrong about the Mayfair’s.

First of all, Phoebe Mayfair did not throw herself at David, he threw himself at her.”

Some people guffawed loudly and only stopped when Rufus glared at them. When silence was resumed, he continued.

“I for one know that a lot of founding families are interested in Phoebe Mayfair. It is not the Mayfair’s fault that David fell madly in love with their daughter, and we have all blessed their union. There is nothing anyone can do to change that.” His voice was smooth but tinged with sarcasm.

Jericho Mortimer sneered at the words. “That does not matter, the betrothal still binds us. It is a good thing those two are not married and they can be separated whether they are in love or not. No matter what Moria’s past is like, we took an oath that must be fulfilled.” He countered sharply.

“Surely you jest.” Rufus sneered right back. His temper was beginning to rise. He was now considering punching his old friend in the head.

The spirit was exhausted from all the drama, so it slapped a truth telling talisman on Jericho’s back and suddenly he started to reveal their true intentions.

“David must marry Moria, it is the only way to save our business if not we will go under. That bastard Quincy eloped with his lover after stealing all my money through a fraudulent investment. He has abandoned Moria and their child behind. If you want to break the betrothal officially, you must pay us money.” He confessed.

The shock on Celine and Ocean’s faces mirrored the expression of everyone. They could not help feeling betrayed, why the fuck had their father confessed?
