Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Chapter 145 Flying accusations

Because she was in such a hurry, Jenny almost fell down the stairs and Edward caught her just in time.

It did not escape his ears what she had just shared through her shrills, the pink butterfly was missing.

He helped his wife stand more steadily before quizzing her.

"Have you checked well?"

Frantically, Jenny nodded and she shook him as if she was experiencing a spasm. Eyes wide in fright like she had just seen a ghost, she nodded.

"I checked everywhere Edward, it's gone."

The noise which Jennie made drew out everyone from different corners of the house. It was hard for her screams which were like those of a red fox not to attract attention.

Grandma Mayfair was the first to comment, a big frown on her face since her peace had been disturbed. "What is the ruckus all about, are you trying to bring down the house Jennie?"

Jennie abandoned Edward and run to her mother-in-law. She repeated the same words, loudly and frantically.

"It's gone, the pink butterfly is gone mother."

The old woman was well aware of what the pink butterfly was, she was the one that passed it down to Jennie after all. The frown on her face deepened as the corners of her mouth turned downwards in displeasure. It was not the cost of the pink butterfly that mattered, it was the history attached to it which gave it the most value. To lose such a precious heirloom was just negligent.

"What do you mean by gone, Jennie? Surely the pink butterfly did not grow legs and walk out on its own."

Jennie's face crumbled and she shook her head. "I don't know how. What i am certain of is that it is missing. I have checked everywhere mother and i cannot find it."

Edward didn't waste a single moment, his long legs carried him upstairs and he confirmed with his own eyes that it was just as his wife had said. He returned downstairs and shared this fact with his mother.

Already, all the family members and the servants present had converged in the living room, having been summoned by grandma Mayfair. Most of them were confused about what she was talking about.

The present members of the family were sitting down in chairs, sharing shocked expressions.

"The pink butterfly is missing, does anyone know anything about this?" Jennie questioned all of them, children and servants alike.

"Mother what are you talking about? How can our family heirloom go missing? Perhaps you left it some where and you forgot." Ruth's eyes were wide open with her whites showing.

She was honestly shocked and disappointed in Jennie for misplacing it because that brooch was supposed to be passed down to her and now her mother had lost it.

Shaking her head vehemently, Jennie heaved. "No way, i stowed it carefully after the annual founding families dinner last year and I never touched it again, i am certain that someone took it. That brooch is worth a fortune." Her eyes moved about accusingly.

Phoebe had dashed out of her bedroom but she was the last to arrive. She made her way to the living room while watching her mother speak. On looking at Ruth, she realized that her reaction was so genuine which confused her because she believed that Ophelia was working on her orders

Ruth was also

Andre and Collin continued to trade words while Ruth squeezed a few tears out of her eyes and apologized for making such a suggestion.

"I saw her."

A sudden witness statement from Ophelia silenced the room.

"What? What are you yapping about Ophelia? My grand daughter works hard to make her own money, she isn't a thief!! I know that you are in cohorts with

Ruth to smear her good image but it's not going to happen." Grandma Mayfair stepped in finally.

She had been quietly watching Ruth and Ophelia steal glances at each other. The two were thick as thieves and she suspected they were the actual thieves.

Ruth was taken aback by the accusation, she knew that the old woman had it out for her but she didn't think that she would accuse her of working with Ophelia which was actually the truth.

"Granny...Grandma I know that you favor Phoebe because she is your biological granddaughter but this is not fair, how can you blindly play favorites? I have been raised by you all my life and i have never stolen anything at home. Father please say something." Ruth's words were aimed at weakening her grandmother's accusations against her.

She squeezed out more tears and settled for bawling loudly before running to Collin's side.

Phoebe scoffed.

[She has never stolen at home but what about outside home?]
