Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 335: The new Luke Mayfair.
It took less than an hour for the hearing which had been both dreaded and anticipated to come to an end. Phoebe was quite disappointed that she had not had the opportunity to detonate the bombs in her arsenal. She had been looking forward to it, but still she had won so that was amazing.
She was about to turn and leave when one of the female ghosts stopped her.
"Might I trouble you for a second, can you deliver a message for me to that elderly gentleman over there?"
Phoebe turned to her left and she saw Eldrine Greer, the patriarch of the Greer family, their family owned a food company and had the largest green fruit and vegetable farms in Fog country.
They had a cooperative relationship with the Mayfair’s, providing raw materials for them.
"Sure, why not?" Phoebe said happily.
"It will be best if I talk, and you repeat it to him." The ghost said.
Phoebe shrugged, she found her way through the spectators that were on the move and approached Eldrine who was thankfully still sitting next to his wife and youngest daughter.
"Hello patriarch Eldrine, I am Phoebe Mayfair. Uhm...I don’t know if you have heard but I see ghosts and your mother is here and she wants me to relay a message."
Eldrine Greer laughed, he figured he could humor Phoebe, there was no harm in it anyway. "Go on."
"My boy." The ghost started.
Phoebe frowned and looked at the ghost, it urged her to say it.
She sighed and winced, reluctantly she said in a hesitant voice, "My boy."
Eldrine’s face fell immediately as if he could see his mother right there and predict what she was going to say, "Don’t say it." he told Phoebe.
"I did not approve of you giving your muddleheaded wretched wife my snake coiled jade bracelet. If you do not give it to Maisie I will haunt you forever, you hear me Eldrine, forever." The ghost exploded.
Right after saying those words, it calmed down and smiled at Phoebe who looked horrified. "Tell him."
Phoebe shook her head and laughed, there was no way she was calling the wife of one of the world’s wealthiest men muddleheaded and wretched.
"Uhm, she says she misses you and urges you to give the snake coiled jade bracelet to Maisie." Phoebe said.
She darted away from the Greer’s as quickly as she could and found her family that was waiting for her with smiles. After they left the hall, Phoebe together with her family moved to grandpa Saxon’s office. It was on the topmost floor, although he was no longer the president of the council, he had the office with the best view.
His eyes lit up the moment he saw the Mayfair’s. "Edward! How lovely to see you again. Prudence told me that you often called to check on my condition, you don’t know how that gladdens my heart." Grandpa Saxon shook Edward’s hand firmly and gave him a side hug.
"I was pleased to hear that you have regained your strength, seeing you so robust is delightful." Edward’s warm smile continued to exist.
He had grown up calling Rufus uncle, seeing him was the same as seeing his father.
Grandpa Saxon laughed lightly. "We have your daughter to thank for that, what a gem eh, Eddie boy!"
Edward laughed boisterously, scratching the back of his neck, nobody had called him Eddie boy since his father died.
Grandma Mayfair moved a step forward. "Rufus, I thank you for what you did in there especially for destroying that witch Dorothy ha! She used to think that she was invincible just because she had Rex’s support. Now that you are back, maybe sanity will finally return to this place." She turned her mouth upside down in an exaggerated frown.
Her facial expressions made every one laugh.
"You are always one to blow things out of proportion as always." old man Rufus commented.
They engaged in small talk for a few more minutes and would have kept it up for hours but grandpa Rufus had a lot to do now that he was back, his eyes moved to the clock.
"Alright folks, thank you for passing by and I will see you at the auction, right?"
"Yes, of course we would never miss it for anything." Grandma Mayfair raised to her feet. "We hope that you will give us a visit, I will roast an entire goat to thank you for getting rid of that pathetic Dorothy Cook."
Again, they laughed, it was obvious that they old woman was not going to quit talking about Dorothy anytime soon.
As they walked to the parking lot, the Mayfairs were greeted and congratulated by various people, among them were some of the members from the Saxon family. The elders formed a group to discuss the events that had just occurred leaving their children to socialize.
Rose-bell stepped forward to block David’s path. "Well, well brother finally I get to see you since you barely come home, I am beginning to think that you are David Mayfair not Saxon." She nudged his ribs.
David only laughed. "Each time I visit the tower you are busy shopping or gossiping in the neighborhood."
A few more jokes all relating to the same subject were made garnering a lot of laughs until Katherine stepped in.
"No, no Rosie is right, one might think that you already married to the Mayfair girl. Speaking of when is this marriage happening my success story depends on it." Katherine blurted out the last words unintentionally.
Everyone stared at her especially Phoebe’s brothers who dived into protective mode.
"Who said Phoebe is marrying David? I don’t remember giving them my approval, I am just adjusting to the fact that they are dating....." Collin was interrupted by David.

"Kathy what do you mean by saying that your success story depends on it? I hope that you have dropped that stupid idea of getting your hands on Phoebe’s recipes because you won’t have them. I have already spoken to grandpa and he feels the same way that I do." David’s face was etched with a mix of suspicion and worry, his sister was not someone that easily let things go. It was very much possible that she was plotting something to steal those recipes.
"You fool! Why did you get grandpa involved in all this? Did you think that will stop me? Ha! We will see how this ends." She turned on her heel and matched away.
She did not go far before someone pulled on her arm. "Let go of me Luke, you are hurting my arm." She winced.
Luke shoved her gently into a car. "Katherine, I know vultures like you, so greedy for things that you don’t own. That’s how you have lived your life since you were a child but let me warn you, if you dare get your filthy claws on anything that belongs to my sister, you will regret it I assure you."
A bitter laugh came from Katherine’s lips. "Who do you think you are? I am a Saxon! meaning that I am up there, and you are down here. What is so special about Phoebe’s recipes, I will get my hands on them in fact she will hand them over to me and willingly. You just wait i will have the last laugh."
Luke shoved her head and then lowered his voice. "You must have a death wish, Next time I will not be so nice. There are a lot of dangerous people looking out for Phoebe, I am warning you only because grandpa Saxon will be heartbroken if hypothetically you turned up dead somewhere in a ditch." He chuckled dryly and left her speechless.
"Was Luke always this scary?" She shuddered
