Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Collin’s massive hatred.

Collin did not appreciate Phoebe’s words which sounded like a threat to his hears. His immediately jumped to the memory from some six years ago. Ruth had come home with a black eye and told him that she had been injured when she was playing a game with her best friend. Even though she acted strong, she had cried until she ended up getting a fever. Given that the only best friend Ruth ever claimed to have was Phoebe, it wasn’t hard to deduce who had given her that black eye.

So, not only was this Phoebe a con artist but she was also a bully. She was not even ashamed and she was declaring it so publicly to the family and everyone was just quietly letting her get away with it. Had they gone crazy? Every family had a black sheep and for them, it was Andre who kept the Mayfair name in the news and not always for good reasons as a result of his career. It looked like Andre was about to be overthrown as a new contender had showed up.

Most prominent families that had a lot to lose usually had their black sheep sent out of the country. As Collin side eyed Phoebe, he came to another conclusion that she should be sent abroad, perhaps to Eagle country, somewhere where she could not besmirch the Mayfair name.

The media would have a field day if they caught wind of the news that the true Mayfair daughter was a shaman, a trickster, a con woman.

“Father, we should keep this news within the house first. Not only should we wait for Ruth to be released from the hospital before springing this news on her but we should do…”

Grandma Mayfair picked up the pillow which she was sitting on her lap and she threw it at him. Because the living room was large, it landed on the floor without hitting the target but the intention was clear, she was displeased.

“I have told you to stay out of Phoebe’s affairs if you have nothing good to say. Where is your concern for your sister? You have just heard about the terrible people that raised her extorting her so where is your rage on her behalf? All you keep saying is Ruth this and that as if she is the only one that matters. Collin, you have disappointed me so much today, your grandfather would be so ashamed if he was here today to witness your behavior. You want to throw away your own blood…”

She started heaving slowly and put a hand over her heart, appearing to be in pain.

Edward left Phoebe’s side and her run to her, calling for her frantically.

“Mother, mother, what’s wrong?”

Luke rushed to her side and Jennie hurried away to bring the old woman’s medicine. Phoebe didn’t stay still either, she quickly joined everyone around her grandmother.

She never went anywhere without one of her potions and now that she had a magical space, she had all of them available. The Saxon spirit sent one to her bag and Phoebe took it out.

It was black liquid in a small crystal bottle. Phoebe opened it and held it up to her grandmother.

“Grandmother, drink this.”

Collin, like a possessed man full of hatred, stared daggers at the small bottle. He raised his hand with the intention of slapping it away. Andre was quicker however as he saw Collin’s hand movement out of the corner of his eye.

He caught Collin’s arm and stopped it with a glare of his own.Without a word, he used his own strength to shove Collin away.

“What is wrong with you?” he barked at his eldest brother?

“Are you going to stand by and watch her poison grandma?” Collin asked Andre in a raised voice.

Phoebe had no words for Collin, he succeeded in surprising her into speechlessness. Poison!, had he lost his mind? What had Ruth fed this lunatic to make him so obsessed with her? What lies had she been feeding him because this kind of hatred he had for her, a stranger to him was something built over a period of time. Is that what Ruth had been doing all these years, smearing her with shit so that even if the truth were revealed someday, the Mayfairs, her real family would be so guarded against her?

[This stupid eldest brother, someone really ought to seal your mouth with glue. With which eyes have you seen me putting poison in here? This small bottle, i can charge up to a million for it and people will line up from here to Salt lake to purchase it.]

Collin read her thoughts and he scoffed. Who did she think she was to have people lining up for her medicine? Was she a miracle doctor? Even if it wasn’t poison, it was probably some water mixed with common cheap herbs. What could it do for his grandmother? He was not going to allow her put his beloved grandmother’s life at risk just because she was his biological sister?

Jennie, now returned with the various medicines that grandma Mayfair had been given by the doctor to treat her heart and blood pressure agreed with Collin. She didn’t think giving her mother-in-law an unknown medicine that had not been tested was wise.

“Phoebe, your eldest brother Collin is right. If you give your grandmother something and it has a disastrous effect….mother!!”

She stopped explaining Collin’s side to Phoebe when grandma Mayfair who had enough of Collin’s bullshit grabbed the little bottle and took a sip of the unknown medicine.

She didn’t want to point out the hypocrisy at play. If it was Ruth that had brought unknown medicine, neither Collin nor Jennie would have said a word. They would have encouraged her to drink it while praising Ruth for being so loving and caring.

It was going to take a while for everyone to get used to this new normal. Of course, she didn’t expect everyone to just jump immediately and suddenly love Phoebe blindly even though they had met her for less than two hours.

However, she had to be given a chance and provided with equal affection just as they gave Ruth.

“Should i take another sip?” she asked Phoebe.

Phoebe looked at the bottle and she frowned briefly before chuckling.

[Grandmother, you were supposed to take a small sip, not a mouthful. Anyway, it won’t do you harm, it’s good for your heart.]

Grandma Mayfair cleared her throat and gloated while looking at Collin directly.

“See, i am not dead, it’s not poison. I have seen that label on medicine my friend Prudence Saxon takes and she is doing much better than me now and yet she was the more sickly one before. It’s from the Black Ghost Cafe, i have been planning to get some things from there for a while now.”

Luke held a hand out to Phoebe with a soft smile on his face. He wanted to take a look at the medicine and she handed it over.

Andre meanwhile was beaming with pride. “Oh!, grandma, that’s Phoebe’s place, it’s her cafe.”
