Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Before he could say anything, Margaret extended her arm upwards, signaling that she had something to say. Her face was awash with fierce determination, it seemed she was going to have her say with or without permission to speak.

Rufus could tell that it would be impossible to move on before her saying what was on her mind given by the unyielding gaze that she cast upon him. He stretched his hand forward to stop Edward from saying anything.

"Edward please allow Margaret to speak, it looks like whatever she wants to address is very important." His tone was as polite as he made the request.

Margaret wasted no time at the given opportunity, she did not even wait for Edward to consent or reject the request.

"Uncle in-law, you already know that it pains me to the core that you decided to invite the Mayfair's into our home knowing fully well that they have fueling animosity between two Saxons." She looked from her son to David. "David and my son had a very public fight on the night of the auction and ever since then David has assaulted my son on various occasions and the problem all started with that little Mayfair whore." Her finger pointed at Phoebe.

Her eyes were burning hot, if they could set Phoebe on fire, she would be ashes already.

Margaret's derogatory comments were met with disapproval especially from the Mayfair camp. Luke and Luna were ready to act, one feeling the needle filled with poison in the breast pocket of his jacket and the other feeling her guns.

It was Miranda that stood up first to defend Phoebe's honor. She was two seconds quicker than Jennie, grandma Mayfair and Maureen.

"How dare you say that about my daughter in-law? Margaret you better take that back. Everyone knows that my son David is Phoebe's man, all the Mayfair's have already approved of the relationship just as the elders of our family have done. It's your stupid son Dickson that doesn't know how to keep his greasy paws to himself. He is shamelessly panting after his own brother's wife, who does that? Father this meeting cannot continue after what she has said about David's wife unless she apologizes." She pressed her lips tightly together.

More than a few eyebrows went up in surprise at Miranda's passionate defense of Phoebe and her reference to Phoebe as David's wife.

"I will do no such thing." Margaret turned her nose up.

Rufus sighed loudly; the drama had already started yet the meeting had barely even begun. "Everyone should settle down." He ordered; however, the two women had their eyes locked on each other in a death stare, Rufus' words only flew above their heads.

A haughty cackle intentionally came from Margaret. "Me! apologize to that whore? Over my dead body." She rolled her eyes to dismiss the idea.

"Then you and your son will die today." Grandma Mayfair unfolded her walking cane and tossed it towards Margaret. Dickson jumped and caught the cane, taking everyone by surprise. All this time he had been acting like he couldn't even stand without the help of his crutches but here he was standing erect without them.

Phoebe looked at David in wonder, hadn't Dickson been beaten black and blue? Hadn't his legs been broken? How was he capable of jumping and moving around?

The other onlookers reacted with audible gasps of disbelief, some went as far as to point at Dickson and put their hands over their mouths. The guesses, questions and whispers about his intentions went all around.

"It's Dickson, he is a habitual liar, so this is not surprising at all."

So, if he could walk then why has he has been pretending to be in excruciating pain....."

Viola Saxon snickered; Dickson had done well to pool a good number of enemies even among his family. Viola had been present when he threatened to kill her brother, Phillip.

Phillip had whispered to her before the meeting begun that Dickson had messed with his car to make good on his threat. For that, she considered him to be an enemy now.

Using a book, Rufus smacked the table with the intention of bringing all the attention to himself.

"What do all of you think you are doing? How dare you display your rude behavior even with the adults and guests here?"

He was not berating only the Saxons, Rufus cast a disappointed look at grandma Mayfair, she was not behaving like the adult that she was supposed to be. But who could blame her, Margaret had insulted her beloved granddaughter.

Even though it was understandable, he did not think that her throwing a walking cane was the answer.

"Margaret, for the demeaning words that you used against Phoebe Mayfair, I want you to apologize right now before you say anything else. This is not a request, and I will not be repeating myself." Rufus commanded; his cold voice showed that he meant business.

Upon opening her mouth to decline yet again, Margaret met Rufus' hostile glare, her shoulders fell as she conceded defeat. "Fine." She spun around to face the Mayfair's. "You are not a whore, I should not have said that." She turned away from them.

"Apology my ass, you are just stating the fact. Save your fake apology Margaret, we don't need it but believe me, a day will come when you fall on your knees and apologize." Grandma Mayfair scoffed and sat down.

Rufus knew that he was not going to get a better apology, but he planned to squeeze it out of Margaret later. "Going forward, no one here is allowed to insult anyone or else I will kick you out." His authoritative voice resonated through the room.

"Margaret why are you claiming that Phoebe Mayfair is the reason for the conflict between those two boys? It is common knowledge that David and Dickson barely get along since childhood. If we are to make a list of all the reasons why they have been fighting since childhood, Phoebe Mayfair will not even make the top three." His words elicited nods from the Saxons especially.

Margaret twisted her lips, her venomous eyes stared at Phoebe. "That wh... girl was two timing both of them. She was dating David but promised to marry my son." She thumped her chest. "She confirmed it to me herself; I am not lying to you. That is the reason as to why Dickson dived into a raging spree and almost attacked her. He was just feeling wronged and betrayed." Tears sprouted out of her eyes; they seemed genuine.
