Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Weakened protective shield.
The Lee family house was built on vast acres of land just like most founding family mansions. It was on the hilly side of the lane and sat atop a gentle, rolling hill that was always shrouded in mist during early mornings. It was an imposing house, a blend of Eastern and Western styles of architecture.

The winding path that led to the mansion was flanked by intricate stone statues, each one depicting a mythical creature like dragons, qilins and phoenixes. They followed fengshui principles to harmonize the flow of energy up the hill.

In the middle of the compound was a laughing gold Buddha statue. To its left was a water fountain carved from jade that emitted a gentle trickle that flowed down the hill.

The compound had been designed on purpose to create harmony, wealth and prosperity for the descendants of the family. The most famous part of the mansion was the koi pond with delicate lotus flowers floating on its surface. It was surrounded by bonsai treed pruned daily, meticulously. It was no doubt one of the best houses on the founding lane. For now, it was completely frozen so it’s beauty could not be seen.

On getting there, they found grandpa Lee who was just about to enter the car and leave on personal business. His plans flew out of the window as soon as he saw the cars arrive and the people that stepped out of them.

He adjusted his glasses that had slipped down his nose and frowned a little upon seeing the guests. His very first assumption was that Phoebe had come to him to hear more about her grandfather, but she had come sooner than he expected.

“Phoebe Mayfair, what a surprise, so you have finally decided to pay me a visit in my home?” His voice was as warm as the smile on his face. His body language was welcoming towards her.

As for the rest, he did not remember inviting them to his home. He pulled his brows closely together wondering why she had come with Maureen Mayfair and another young woman who bore the mark of a guardian had just showed up to his home. What puzzled him even further was that his granddaughter and her husband walked alongside them.

“Hello, grandpa Lee.” Phoebe smiled widely and introduced her aunt and Rekha.

The introduction for Maureen was unnecessary as was Rekha’s but grandpa Lee did not stop Phoebe anyway.

“I brought gifts.” Phoebe announced.

She had two gift bags in her hands which she handed over. A bodyguard took them from her and into the house.

Once that brief introduction was finished, grandpa Lee’s face became more serious. “I cannot help but feel that this is not just a social visit, what is really going on? Why are you here?” He shifted his eyes to Maureen who was the eldest of the group. They fixated on her the most and his last question was aimed at her and Rekha.

Guardians rarely made social calls to each other’s houses unless they were friends. While he was familiar with Maureen and she called him uncle on occasion, they were not best friends. As for Rekha, she was mostly an acquaintance.

Maureen let out a short sigh. “Uncle Lee, may I suggest that we talk about this inside the house. There is something that you must know.” She stretched her hand towards the entrance of the house, one more minute in the harsh cold weather and she thought that she would freeze.

Old man Lee permitted, and they all moved inside the house. Because they were guests, they were served tea, water and any refreshment they desired. When everyone had settled down, Maureen requested Phoebe to explain since she had more knowledge on the case, and she was the boss.

Nodding once, Phoebe immediately dove into the reason for their visit. “Grandpa Lee, there is something sinister in regard to the supernatural that is going on under your roof.” She began to explain.

“Sinister? On this land?” Grandpa Lee interjected.

It could be seen on his face that he did not believe it to be so.

Phoebe had come expecting the doubt, after all, old man Lee could be considered an expert on the supernatural. Nevertheless, she nodded continuously and went on with her explanation. “Yes, we believe__no, it is confirmed that a ghost has been haunting your granddaughter and grandson in law. It might also be the reason as to why they have not had children yet.” Her voice was steady but edged with worry.

“Ha-ha-ha!” Old man Lee cackled till tears came from his eyes.

The onlookers traded gazes wondering what the old man found to be so amusing.

“Gramps, stop laughing this is serious!” Minka shuffled her feet unintentionally acting spoiled as she added a pout.

Shaking his head, grandpa Lee lifted the land line slowly and requested Ken his first son to come to the lower living room.

“Let us wait for your father to get here princess.” His eyes locked with those of Minka.

During the short wait, everyone filled up on the warm drinks they had been served and looked around the carefully designed living room. Phoebe did not look around, her eyes were glued on the television, someone had been watching a documentary on deep sea creatures when they arrived, and it had been left on.

After Ken Lee came, old man Lee told him what Phoebe had said. In response, he laughed as well and this annoyed those that had come on serious business.

“That is not possible, these lands are protected by a shield.” Ken touched a pendant on his neck causing the protective shield to become visible. It was a shimmering barrier composed of pure light blue energy. “This is a lightveil ward, no ghost with evil intentions could get through it, the force of it alone would shred it to oblivion.” He folded his arms across his chest, putting his jaw upward proudly.

Maureen clucked her tongue. “But as demon can, a ghoul can, a warlock can, a dragon can, an angel can, a fox spirit can, a human that hates you can.” She gave a few examples, desiring to deflate Ken’s boastful words.

“Stop, I get it, the lightveil ward is not invincible but even then, I would still sense demonic activity in this area Maureen. We have other wards in place, talismans of protection. Besides, despite all the things you have mentioned, Phoebe here is certain that it is a ghost.” Brandon retorted. His eyes dared Maureen to contradict him.

The spirit returned from canvassing the area. “Pheebs, I have found it. It is in their bedroom methodically filing it’s toenails. I don’t know why it’s so bold as if it is untouchable.”

Phoebe tied her hair in a high puff, getting ready for war. “It is here; I have confirmed it. I do not know why you got no signal when that ghost came to your home, but I can authoritatively tell you that you have a ghost in this house right now.” She announced, turning to look at the Minka and George. “Which one is your bedroom? Lead the way, hurry up.” She gestured for them to get up quickly.
