The investigative spirit in her that made her so good at her job, also made Bella dedicate herself to reading multiple documents, mainly from the internet, about what ghosts were. However, without exception, she was disappointed by the vagueness or plain stupidity of it all.
With the same diligence, she planned a party to which all of her neighbors would be invited. She harbored the hope that some of them had lived there during the time Victoria and her family passed such a bitter experience.
Edward, even if he could not explain how Bella knew everything about Laurent´s daughter, argued that maybe she had heard her name somewhere and it had stuck with her. Nothing really convincing, but he would not lay down his arms. He was in rotund disagreement with Bella´s reason to throw the party, and even more with masquerading it as a get-to-know-you party.
Bella didn´t care. In the end, it was her who was being tormented by Victoria, as he had so clearly pointed out.
