Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 480

Chapter 480: You are not welcome.
Shaking her head, Phoebe was at a loss. She could not imagine what it had taken for Levi to trade her soul perhaps for the opportunity to be with George in life and death, keeping any woman that he was with from giving birth. She wondered if Aileen Diggens had done it out of spite or out of love.

“That poor misguided girl!” She breathed sympathetically words. Why couldn’t she have moved on simply. Sticking around as a ghost for a family or husband who did not want you was not worth it.

George smacked his chest lightly with a clenched fist like he was in penance or maybe having heartburn. “What? That poor girl you say. I am the real victim here! My family toyed with my life by marrying me to that girl at a young age. I could not give consent to that marriage, like as if that was not bad enough, the girl got into an accident, and they decided they did not want her anymore.

Then, her family pulled the plug because they found her to be a financial burden, she died and decided to make my life miserable even though I did not participate in any of these decisions.

My family did not tell me any of this, they frustrated my first wife to the point of divorce and then attacked Minka persistently in public and private. At this point I will not blame Minka if she decides to walk out of my life. I would be disgusted with me too.” His eyes drifted to find his wife, she was all the way at the other end of the room with her father and grandfather.

They were whispering, glancing at him on and off and he had a feeling that he was the subject of discussion. George had never wanted to disappear from a place so badly as he did now.

Old man Lee was already working on his momentous decision to invite all the parties involved such that they could get to the bottom of the issue and explain why they lied to his family. He made one phone call after another and made sure to invite the Diggens as well just in case the Osbourne’s decided to deny everything.

Rekha’s eyes followed those of George to Minka. “She needs time to understand all this so just let her think everything through.” She counseled him.

Rekha was certain that if she was Minka, the ink would be drying on those divorce papers by now. George was an Osbourne, unless he cut ties with his family, he would be one of them forever and always. That meant they would be part of his wife’s life forever and always too.

“Both of you have been through quite a lot at such a young age, look at this as another test of your love. If it was meant to be, you two will survive this.” Maureen patted his shoulder, sympathizing with him. “From where I stand Minka married you because she loved you but honestly you have been a piece of trash for allowing your family to bully her low key and hiding your first marriage.

If you want Minka to consider staying with you, then you better stand up to your family otherwise they will ruin you that is if they have not done so already.” Her words of advice came off as berating. “Child marriage!!! they all deserve prison from where I am standing.” she muttered.

If that marriage had not happened, perhaps Levi would not have been ruined.

They returned to the sitting room, were served more drinks and waited for twenty minutes, discussing random things until the guests started to arrive.

“The Diggens are here father, they are just getting out of their cars.” Tom Lee the second son of the family stood by the door and announced loudly.

Old man Lee nodded once. “Thank you, Tom, lead them to the lower living room and do not offer them anything because they are not welcomed guests in this house but evil people masquerading to be good.” He spoke with compressed lips.

After Tom shut the door behind him, old man Lee spun around to face Phoebe and her group. “I would appreciate it very much if the three of you joined this meeting even though you are not part of the family. First, because you brought this issue to me and second because you witnessed everything that happened here.” Hie requested.

Phoebe and her companions nodded eagerly. There was no way Phoebe was leaving without knowing how those shameless people were planning on defending themselves.

Maureen had been instructed by her mother to get every detail of what happened, if she went back to the cafe with a half story, old lady Mayfair would wipe whipped cream on her hair, so she had to stay for the gossip.

Rekha was the self-righteous one, she wanted to give the Diggens and Osbourne’s a piece of her mind.

Tom came back in to announce again that the Osbourne’s had arrived as well. He sent them to the same place the Diggens had been sent to.

“Let us go and deal with this then.” Grandpa Lee gestured for them to speed up.

Meanwhile in the lower living room, some of the Diggens family members who had rushed over upon old man Lee’s emergency call were puzzled by how rude they were being treated, not even a cup of tea was offered to them.

It was cold outside, where were the hot beverages? Where was the famous Lee family matcha hot chocolate?

Surprisingly, when other people walked in, it was not the Lee’s or their servants but the Osbourne’s. They swaggered in with confidence like they owned part of the home. Immediately on coming face to face tension began to surge with the Diggens sneering and the Osbourne’s throwing them piercing looks.

The two families now held great loathing for each other, whenever an Osbourne met a Diggens, a fight was likely to occur. At one time, the Diggens would even spit on the ground when saw the Osbourne’s. Their feud was only short of becoming a practical blood feud because of the law.

“Why are you blood leeches here? What business do you have at our in-law’s house?” Tracy Osbourne asked, her voice sounded boastful and authoritative.

Agatha Diggens snorted condescendingly. “Oh look, it’s the cannibals of the founding lane. Throw that bossy attitude out of the window because this is the Lee house not yours.”

The wide doors opened before Tracy could counter but still, she skewered Agatha with a scorching glance promising payback.
