Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 404: Who will get dragged?
That sounded to Phoebe like something that Luna would do, but she also believed that her friend would not leave behind any evidence. The Mortimer women clearly did not understand the Elithera’s well because if Moria was at the police station, it was something Luna had possibly anticipated.

Moria’s mother nodded continuously in support of her daughter speaking up against the injustice that had been done to her. "Reveal everything honey, tell the detective how you were threatened never to approach David Saxon, yet he is your fiancé. Hmph, a mistress is attacking the owner of the house in broad daylight, what has the world come to?"
Luna leaped up to attack, the Saxon spirit quickly pushed her back down. As she figured one of Phoebe’s ghosts had intervened, she stayed down but she growled like a pit bull at the Mortimer women.
Moria’s mother was busy patting the back of Moria’s head as if her daughter was still young, innocent and scared.
"Fiancé you said?" Shark’s eyes widened; he shifted them to Phoebe. "Mistress!!" he exclaimed.
Phoebe shrugged and laughed in an indifferent manner. Nobody in the police station or Fog country at large was not aware that she was David Saxon’s girlfriend.
"Does David know that he is still engaged to you? If we bring him here, are you sure that he will identify me as the mistress?" Came Phoebe’s taunting question.
Moria’s eyes sized up Phoebe, her expression reflected that of her mother, they were nervous and did not want David to show up. Their claims would fall apart faster than a deck of cards under an air conditioner. Just when she was about to say something detective Jones interrupted by announcing that there were paparazzi outside.
"They are looking pretty hungry Shark." he whistled and laughed.
Shark sprang to his seat. "What? Why are they here? How did they know about this?" He slammed a hand on the desk.
He liked press but this had to do with Phoebe and Luna Elithera, he did not want Phoebe’s name to be tarnished or the Elithera’s to exterminate him in his sleep.
In response to his reaction, Jones laughed louder, it was funny to see Shark genuinely worried about press presence.
"They came here following Alena Cupid, the movie director from TK Entertainment. She was brought in on charges of sexual harassment, the victim is a teenage boy, sixteen!!!" He pointed at the desk of a Sergent where the victim was advocating that Alena is released because he consented to whatever they did, and they were in love.
"He says they are planning to marry, and age is just a number, His parents and the law have a different opinion. This is a messy one Shark, do not bring it to us because I will knock Alena’s teeth out and hand in my badge." Jones’s eyes trailed over the women in front of Shark. "I am just cautioning you about the press because I do not think that it will do you ladies any good if this ends up on the news." He glanced at Phoebe with a worried gaze before walking away with two files.
Phoebe’s eyes lingered on detective Jones back and then the boy who was still loudly resisting his parents’ control.
She felt sorry for the parents and the boy, TK Entertainment was at it again! It was not even surprising seeing their people involved in another scandal. In the past months the netizens had cancelled twelve idols from that company and more than a few had been arrested on different charges.
Phoebe’s eyes fell on Luna who once said that she wanted to buy the company, there had been no movement on that front which made her wonder where that had ended. TK was too hot to touch at this point, the name alone was enough to chase away potential investors and wannabe idols. Experience more tales on novelbuddy
She turned back and saw Shark folding the incident report paper while addressing the Mortimer’s. "Madam Celine Mortimer, I cannot proceed to press charges if the said victim does not want to do so. Even if you go over my head, the police chief, deputy chief, superintendent and even the president of the country will tell you the same thing. I strongly suggest that you settle this before the hungry press out there has a sniff of what is going on." Shark advised, he did not want another scandal about Phoebe out there.
Moria’s mother held up her hand to shut Shark up. "This is just perfect, my daughter is adamant to press charges, therefore I will go out there and tell those eager news bottom feeders everything, I will get better justice with them than here in this corrupt station." As she stood, she turned slightly to give Phoebe a death stare. "Enjoy being dragged through the headlines." She pulled her daughter’s hand.
Moria winced, her eyed held some regret and it seemed like she was being forced to follow her mother. Actually, she was mostly resistant because she did not want to be seen by the press with her face looking so ugly, in her opinion.
She was Moria Mortimer, a former Miss Teenage Fog, how could she show this face to the public?
"Mom please! I neither wanted to be here, nor do I want to make this issue bigger so no press, okay. We can come to an understanding after all, this is a misunderstanding between acquaintances." Her sympathetic eyes looked back at the on lookers as if she was begging to be rescued. She clutched onto a table and refused to budge.
"Could it be that she was really dragged into this?" Luna asked, she stood and perched at the edge of the desk.
One of her arms pulled on Phoebe’s arm so that they could whisper.
Phoebe shrugged, "Who knows? It could be possible if she knows that we have already spoken to Gemma and acquired evidence against her. If she goes through with that whole press thing, I am leaking the evidence that she attacked me first, let us see whom the media drags through the headlines." She chuckled bitterly.
Shark sent them away without settling the case, they used the back door from which they rushed to enter Luna’s car. Together they took a moment to look at Moria and her mother who were milking the situation for sympathy. The mother and daughter even went ahead to twist the story before the reporters by saying that Phoebe had sent goons to attack Moria leaving Luna’s name out.
"Unbelievable!" Phoebe scoffed and knocked her knuckles on the back of Luna’s head. "You need to stop involving me in your messes, if you wanted to beat up Moria then you should not have mentioned my name." She leaned back in the seat and folded her arms.
Luna held up three fingers as a gesture to show that she was telling the truth. "That skunk is insane; I did warn her and gave her a few slaps but not more than four and not enough to do that much damage. She did the rest to herself, believe me, that bitch is crazy." She defended herself; the last thing she wanted was for Phoebe to push her away.
On recalling a similar incidence with Ruth, Phoebe’s face relaxed. "I believe you Luna I have been exactly where you are. Moria has very may similarities to Ruth, those two could pass for sisters." Phoebe stated.
