Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 613: Ruth unmasked.
On the way to the tower, David's men called and made the surprising revelation that they had found Enigma. The news made David excited. It was a good day, he was married, and Enigma had been found in such a short period of time. If he could be squeezed for names, they could wipe out all their enemies quickly.
"Let the team of warlocks handle him, the humans should not engage." David instructed Roman.
Roman agreed strongly. "Boss, you should know that we found him with a young woman of about fifteen to eighteen years, the warlocks say that she is human."
"A girl?" David asked. "Her safety should be considered but be wary of her because there are other things outside of demons. Find out why Enigma had her and when he is captured take him to the enchanted rooms that we prepared for such powerful creatures." He instructed before cutting the call, he shifted his gaze to Phoebe. "I do not think that I will be at the dinner for long, we found Enigma." He told her.
"Oh, do not worry, this dinner will not take long." Phoebe told him. "Enigma is with a girl. I hope she is not one of the pure humans that Zephyra told me about." The words trembled out of her. She knew that just as they were speeding up, so were the demons.
David's eyes flew open. "You two are still keeping such important secrets! Who are they and where are they? Also why did Zephyra lie about their existence?"
"She did not want their names in the universe because the air had ears sometimes. However, there are two pure people in existence. I guess it is a good thing is that she knows where they are and she can snatch them at any time if needed." Phoebe assured him.
Since she did not know who they were, David gave up on questioning her and decided that he wanted to kiss her. It was their wedding day after all.

At the Saxon tower meanwhile, all the invited guests had arrived on time and were already settling in the reception hall the Saxon's used when they parties. They had no idea why the dinner party had been held but they were already enjoying wine and the different food cuisines while others were gossiping about the events of the trial.
It was all anyone that lived on the lane could talk about. Those that had attended executions were even more talkative. Most of the guilty parties had chosen to drink poison to end their lives. The news was already reporting their death as a result of an accidental explosion on a luxury party bus during the celebration of Morgan Montgomery's birthday before the actual birthday.
In reality, they were already dead when their bodies were placed on the party bus. The founding council was so thorough that they had involved some people from the founding families in the plot. Some Saxons had been involved, Rufus had used shapeshifting potions to make them resemble some dead victims to prove to the world that these people had been partying, intoxicated and wasting money.
These people had shared videos of themselves dancing and singing on one end of the bus before getting off because a fight broke out between Nile Saxon and Jeremy Castille which caused chaos.
Those that remained on the bus after the fight were the unfortunate souls that died in the explosion and their bodies were burned to ashes.
The way their death had been framed surprised even members of the founding families. Many had not been expecting the executions to actually happen, and they were still in shock.
Rufus chimed his glass with a silver spoon, summoning the room's silence. "I have heard some of your whispers, wondering about the purpose of this dinner and speculating that I have something to announce. However, you should know that it is not I that invited you all here....."
"Then who did? I canceled a flight to Eagle country Rufus; you know that I had a doctor's appointment." Nini croaked unhappily.
Rufus stared at his old aunt. "I am sorry about that aunt Nini, but Phoebe Mayfair said that she had something very important to say." He let them know who had invited them.
Deflation sagged the shoulders of a few like Katherine. "Wow the audacity!" Her claps were sharp as slaps, dripping with faux admiration. "So, she calls us all here and yet she is nowhere to be found? Does she think that we do not have important things to do? She is not even a Saxon for heaven's sake!" Katherine's voice erupted like lava, scorching everything in her path.
"I agree with Katherine here." Margaret threw in "Brad is a very busy man and Clarisse has to study for an interview tomorrow at Saxon research labs, we cannot just sit here idly and wait for Phoebe Mayfair." She turned and stopped.
The host of the party had arrived. Phoebe offered a bow apologizing for her tardiness. "Forgive me for being late everyone but I was busy getting married." Her words detonated the silence not just from the Saxon's but from the Mayfair's as well. Nobody noticed that Clarisse had gone pale.
"Married!!" Nini croaked.
"Whose idea was this? David how could you marry my daughter without consent?" Jennie asked, drawing herself like a cobra about to strike.
Noise in the form of arguments mixed with congratulatory words erupted among the dinner guests and Phoebe found it annoying.
[Everyone should shut up!] Phoebe thought.
They had all grown into a habit of looking at her all the time to see her thoughts and on seeing this one, they fell into silence.
"It is not David's fault; in fact I forced him into it. I was so tired of people referring to my child as the Saxon bastard, so I went ahead and got married to the father of my child." Phoebe told them as she settled in a chair.
Rufus lightly smacked the table. "Who was it? Who would dare belittle a Saxon that way?" He asked, the voice a venomous hiss.
"Oh, it is Katherine here, this morning while the trial was ongoing. She was loud enough for all the ladies in the bathroom to overhear her." Phoebe's reply came swift as a blade leaving its sheath.
Katherine's chair fell back as she stood, staring at Phoebe with surprise and anger. She wondered why Phoebe had to say this in front of Rufus. "I did not say anything of the kind! She is lying against me; you all know that Phoebe does not like me." She denied strongly.
The Saxon's prepared themselves for another drama filled night.
"Really? You do not remember the conversation that you had with Clarisse Taylor in which she told you to kill me and you agreed. I have a recording that right here." Phoebe spoke nonchalantly, her phone dangling at the tips of her fingers.
The spirit slapped a talisman on Katherine's back which compelled her to admit to everything, leaving no detail out.
"Katherine! What is wrong with her?" Clarisse trembled the words out, her gaze fell on her father. "It is not true I-I...." The words trailed off into silence.
Brad released his napkin. "Young lady you are going to hear it from me, I am sorry about all this Mr. Saxon, we will take our leave now." He grabbed her hand, raising from his chair to leave.
"Ah-ah-ah, you cannot leave just yet there is something that everyone should know." Phoebe sipped on some juice after which she stood up. "That woman pretending to be Clarisse Taylor is not who she says she is...."
"What?" Margaret chimed in. "You have some nerve girl, who is she then?" Margaret asked, sarcasm embedding her voice.
"Ruth Mayfair or should I say, Gabriel." Her words were a live grenade rolled into the conversation.
