Vernon Spann never would have imagined Phoenix Golding could be so heartless, willing to push her own daughter into a fiery pit. The woman was more venomous than a cobra.
If there was anything Vernon Spann was still attached to on Millstone Peak, it was his daughter, Jacqueline Spann.
Phoenix Golding looked at him mockingly. "If she weren't my own flesh and blood, I'd marry her off right now. Those old bachelors wouldn't mind how young she is, anyway. Raising her until she's seventeen or eighteen to get married is already doing more than enough."
Vernon Spann clenched his jaw, his expression flickering, but he suddenly forced a smile. He stepped forward to help Phoenix Golding up, his solicitous manner a stark contrast to moments before. Phoenix Golding was incredibly smug. 'This man is completely in the palm of my hand. Even if I gave him wings, he couldn't fly away. Hmph, what a spineless loser!'
