Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 311: Nana suddenly likes Luna.
Back at the cafe, a curious grandma Mayfair was pushing the door to Phoebe’s office hesitantly. She was afraid that Phoebe was in a terrible mood after what had just transpired between her and Dickson.
Her brows shot up in surprise however when she found Phoebe humming as she put herbs in a bag.
"You seem to be in a jovial mood, I was expecting the opposite, where are the broken cups or spilled tonic? Pheebs I must warn you about Dickson, I think that he is a little too interested in you if know what I mean." Grandma Mayfair sighed, exhausted mentally, she sank into a chair.
"There are rumors about him..." she said hesitantly, "The things he likes to do to women in bed, they say he burns them with candles and whips them with ropes that have sharp barbs. Whatever he says to you, do not believe it no matter how much he professes his undying love."
[Ha-ha interest in me my ass, he’s interested in the property he would get by making me his wife and the humiliation David would endure if he succeeded in his evil plot. If he ever lays a hand on me, I will make him a eunuch in the blink of an eye.]
A chortle slipped through grandma Mayfair’s lips on reading the thought. She was glad that Phoebe was not naive, no one could take advantage of her, especially not the scum Dickson.
"Nana do not worry yourself, I know Dickson better than he knows himself. I am aware of what his plans are for me but unknown to him, I am many steps ahead of that shameless man.
Even the advice I gave him about his company is a trap, on top of that I paid off his secretary and two employees in his company."
[I will sabotage all of his plans, he will forever and always be a worthless Saxon and the debt he owes me, I will collect it all before sending him to hell.]
In as much as she wanted to ask more questions about this debt and why Phoebe harbored so much hatred for Dickson, grandma Mayfair only shrugged and dropped the issue.
She planned to find another way to dig up the information and if she found anything that proved he had harmed Phoebe, she would be the one to send him to hell.
Luna’s face came to her mind and old lady Mayfair sat up, this was the kind of task that girl could take on, maybe it was time to have a conversation with her. The girl was not so bad, it was her background that was a bit messy.
Connie appeared just when Phoebe was about to sling the bag on her shoulders and leave for the Miller house.
"Guys! Guys! You will not believe this. All this talk about swingers in town just got interesting. I have heard that Dorothy Cook, and her husband are among the couples involved in a secret swingers club." She bounced excitedly, for bringing such news she expected a great reward from Phoebe.
"What?" Grandma Mayfair exclaimed. "Dorothy prim and uptight poopy pants Cook, no way."
As for Phoebe, her jaw had dropped open and the bag that was on its way up to her shoulder, dropped on the floor.
"Connie you have to be joking! That woman looks and acts like she is a moral compass, there is no way she would do something like that." Phoebe’s eyes widened, searching for confirmation from Connie.
"I swear on the church of saints and angels, that I am telling nothing but the truth. I was on my way to the Cook manor when I overheard the Darling’s arguing in their car.
Mrs. Annie Darling said that she had proof, recordings from their meet ups. She mentioned Lina the girl that works at the pharmacy and Mrs. Cook and she said that she would out everyone if her husband dared to mention divorcing her ever again."
Connie’s body floated in the air like a bubble, she twirled and somersaulted.
The revelation hit grandma Mayfair like a cold gust announcing the arrival of winter, she had long searched for something to destroy Dorothy and Connie had given her a bazooka.
"This is it! We could spread this news around, once her reputation is destroyed, she will lose that position on the council." Grandma Mayfair squirmed.
Her quick fingers were already reaching for her phone, ready to set the gossip mill of the founding lane on fire. This, would be even more explosive than the Shuman sisters and their witchcraft, after all who did not love a good sex scandal on founding lane?
Phoebe’s excitement didn’t last long when she realized that even if they spread the gossip, it wasn’t going to stop her from appearing before the council.
On voicing out her concerns, grandma Mayfair told her that at least Dorothy would have been taught a lesson.
"She has for long been misusing that position for so long, she keeps acting like the queen of Fog and that Rex Chapman is to blame, he keeps entertaining her rubbish, I bet he is somewhere in those recording too." She leaned forward, not feeling the rush of excitement anymore. "But....I just don’t understand this at all. It’s just not possible for her to garner a ten thousand signatures that fast. Most members of the founding families are cordial with us, they would think twice before signing something that would work against us....."
"Not if someone catalyzed the situation." Came a voice as the door opened, David’s head popped in." Hello beautiful ladies, can I come in." He asked.
Grandma Mayfair sneered. "You are already in; David you promised to handle this situation. Had I known that you would move at a sloth’s pace I would have intervened earlier." She curled her lips to the side fully aware that it was wrong of her to blame David for any of this but venting on behalf of Phoebe anyway.
The founding council was never to be influenced by families lest it lose its power and become corrupted, that was the law, or it was supposed to be.
"Nana come on, if anyone could have done something, it would have been dad, and I did not tell him for this very reason. Isn’t he a member of the council? He knew about this and said nothing, in fact if Amon wasn’t my friend I never would have known anything until the papers summoning me were brought." Phoebe’s hands slapped her thighs, but she felt no pain.

"Your father is sworn to an oath of secrecy! He wouldn’t say even if he wanted to besides, Edward already promised to get you bigger and better lands even if you lose this one. To be honest, its not really a big deal, the whole thing stems from a personal vendetta Dorthy has against me and...." Grandma Mayfair explained but Phoebe only twisted her lips.
In her mind, she was conflicted, her father was right to respect the laws that governed their families. Sometimes, breaking one small law could get a family removed and banned from the founding families. However, on the other hand she still wanted her father to put her first, family before others and everything else.
Was she wrong? Was it selfish of her, was she being unreasonable?
"Ladies, didn’t you hear me earlier? The situation escalated because a Saxon was involved. Dickson cajoled some brainless people into signing with a bunch of promises, some threats and pay offs and that’s why Dorothy got the numbers so quickly."
