Chapter 195 - 195: Time to wrap up Linda's case.
Grandma Mayfair rushed over to them when she saw Shark, she had personal business with him. "Young man what happens to my case now?" She handed him his usually preferred box of mixed variety doughnuts and a cappuccino to go.
"Well Mrs Mayfair the culprit is not mentally fit to be tried, however I believe that what Ruth is going through is far worse than what she would have experienced in prison." Shark accepted the free breakfast she was handing to him.
Grandma Mayfair nodded. "You are right and even though I cannot report those stupid Gabriels for how they maltreated our Phoebe, i get satisfaction from knowing that they will be pained to see their daughter in such a state."
There was a part of her that had been hoping Ruth would regain sanity and rot in prison where she could pay someone to make her life miserable forever. For now, she would have to be satisfied with this outcome.
"Nana, we are going to the Verdemont residence so please watch the shop." Phoebe moved to the office picked up her bag and left with Shark.
The cafe was beginning to get busy as she left, so the curious ghosts and employees could not follow along.
Outside, leaning against the police issued vehicle, Shark's partner detective Jones was talking on the phone. He hung up when he saw Phoebe.
"The beautiful Phoebe! It's nice to see you again. Tell me, is it true what Shark here says about us having to dig for gold?"
Phoebe smiled and greeted him politely.
"Ignore that idiot, it's not gold but old bones." she told him.
Her eyes roamed around in
"Father what is going on? You promised to stop bringing these impure shamans to this house. I just cleansed it for heavens sake!" Emilia shuffled her feet.
The old patriarch greeted the guests, he too wondered why there were so many of them.He had been expecting two, not fifteen people.
"Emilia i requested this little shaman to find Linda, if she is back then that means that she found something that connects to Linda."
"Where could she possibly find her? She's a quack grandpa just like the rest of them. I heard her tell mom that she had increased her price can you believe that?"
Brandon shoved his way inside, frustrated by this renewed search for Linda. Every time someone said they had found something, his heart dropped.
The rest of the relatives came in and found seats, they wanted the mess over and done with. Abel was already i tears, again!
Emilia backed Brandon's words quickly. "Ten million, that is what she wants. It's outrageous, what is all that money for?"
The old patriarch whispered to his butler to bring his cheque book.
"Forgive me young shaman, I forgot to pay you for the services." He signed it and asked the butler to hand it to Phoebe.
His family was left in utter shock especially his oldest son Ekhart.
"Father you cannot keep dashing out money on a whim, you may not have any use of it anymore because of your age but that's family money."
Some people nodded, the patriarch already had one leg and a half in the grave. Why did he want to take their financial future with him by being wasteful? The living had use for all that money.
