For the past few days, Tang Xiaonan had been keeping an eye on Phoenix Golding, but she still had nothing to show for it. She hadn't caught Phoenix Golding and Storm Xavier in the act. On her visits to her maternal grandfather's house, though, she'd run into Verna Golding a few times. Verna was a simple and honest woman, but her looks were truly plain—ugly, even.
Her facial features were actually rather delicate, but Verna Golding's face was covered in a dense spread of marks, completely dotting her skin. People said they were scars left from chickenpox in her childhood, which had earned her the nickname 'Pock-face.' It was precisely because of this pockmarked face that she married Storm Xavier, who came from a family with a bad class background. After the marriage, she was constantly given the cold shoulder—a truly unfortunate woman.
