Phoebe was at ho, entertaining two surprise guests of her own. One was Evelyn that had co over to check on her and the other was Claire that had co over with the DNA results. It was no surprise to Phoebe that both of them were in her ho given the news which had been circulating since the previous night.
Her phone had been ringing off the hook, so much so that she had to switch it off. She didn't know how reporters had discovered her phone number but they wouldn't stop calling. Not just them but even relatives from the Gabriel side of the family.
Phoebe knew them quite well and she could sll what they wanted from a mile away. They wanted to confirm if she had hooked up with a rich man and ask for favors.
The word shaman was the number on trending topic online. Custors of the Black Ghost Cafe were already giving interviews, talking about the type of person Phoebe was and talking about her claims that she could see and talk to ghosts. There was so much interest in her that so people had gone as far as to camp outside the cafe just to get a glimpse of David Saxon's woman.
There was a debate on whose woman she was, David or Collin but since David was the one captured taking her out of the police station, he was the number one contender.
For that particular day, Phoebe had told Rossett to close the cafe because they were getting more window shoppers than real clients. Besides she had no plans of going to work after the misfortune she had encountered.
The three young won were casually feasting on sliced fruits but what was sweeter than the fruits was the gossip they were engrossed in.
"I used to think that the Mayfairs were nice people, I an they have helped countless people in need, built orphanages, retirent hos and all the freebies given by their foundation. I was shocked to hear that Mr. Edward Mayfair got you arrested because his daughter tried to end her life.
Like co on, who kills themselves because soone tells them to." Claire switched off the T.V because all that was being discussed was David and his new love interest.
I did, Phoebe thought. She had killed herself because Ruth told her to jump from the top of the building. Of course, in her defense, her so called mother and her children had been Ruth's captives.
Evelyn gulped down the last of the pineapple and licked her lips. "They genuinely are nice people but when it cos to their only princess, all common sense is thrown out of the window. I have never seen a man more obsessed with his sister than Collin Mayfair. I swear, the man thinks she farts glitter or sothing."
Claire burst into cackles and slapped the chair.
Narrowing her eyes, Phoebe looked at Evelyn. "I am surprised that you are taking my side Evie. I always felt like you were more loyal to her because you both co from rich families."
The words Phoebe said caused Evelyn to click her tongue because Phoebe was wrong. Evelyn always tried her best to remain neutral in the matters between Ruth and Phoebe. As for spending more ti with Ruth, it was not unusual since they ca from the sa society and their families were friendly.
However after watching Ruth hurt herself and fra Phoebe, she decided to put so distance between herself and Ruth.
"I did visit her yesterday and I have to tell you that it's true, sadly Ruth did try to commit suicide. At this point I think that you should just let her have him, you can choose from the Amon guy or Collin Baltimore, that would solve everything. Ruth keeps saying that she knew him first and it was an open secret that they would get married when they were older.
David Saxon is just a man like any other." Evelyn squeezed Phoebe's hand.
She hoped that Phoebe understood that she wasn't saying it with ill intent or because she was on Ruth's side. Rather, she just didn't see the point in her two close friends losing their minds and lives for a man. For heavens sake! one had attempted suicide and one had been arrested. Enough was enough.
Phoebe laughed maniacally and sipped on her canned beer. All she wanted was to get drunk and forget her worries.
"That's all lies! That bitch thinks she has backed into a corner by making the villain in the story. She is Cinderella and i am the evil sister trying to steal her prince charming.
Why should i leave him just because she took a few pills? David doesn't want her, he wants and not even her fake suicide will make him love her. Why should he be punished by being with a manipulative woman he doesn't love?
You should know that I don't even like him but whatever pisses Ruth off at this point gives pleasure. Believe when I tell you that the suicide was all fake, she just wanted to send to jail so she can have that man but i won't let her."
Her friends nodded especially Evelyn who could not argue with Phoebe's evaluation of the situation. Ruth was quite good at manipulating people to get her way.
"But what I don't understand is why Mr. Mayfair dropped the charges, it was so unexpected. Those people would go to the end of the earth for Ruth."
Claire nodded continuously. "And his daughter apparently was still unconscious during that ti so there is no way she could have persuaded him to drop the charges. Like you said Evelyn, he could just be generally a nice person who decided not to ruin Phoebe's life."
Evelyn shook her head for it made no sense to her. "I can't speak on this situation with certainty. Sothing is not and i know because I am familiar with uncle Edward. He is not the kind of man that would go back on his word without good reason, especially when soone in his family is hurt. Are you sure you don't know why the charges were dropped?" Her narrowed eyes fixed on Phoebe who was silent.
The resident ghosts in the house were discussing the issue as well, they believed that what Evelyn said made a lot of sense.
Phoebe too had her suspicions but held back because if she was truly a Mayfair then why hadn't Luke reached out to her by now? He must have carried out a DNA test as well.
She sighed and stared at the envelope that Claire had given her. It was ti to find out, everything would make sense then.
When her friends left, Phoebe wasted no ti for she reached for the envelope and broke the seal.
"This is the mont of truth, fingers crossed." The Saxon spirit and ghosts huddled together.
