The gossiping villagers grew even more excited. It was clear they didn't intend to talk things out nicely. This was going to be a good show!
Tang Xiaonan and Amanda Chapman, using their small stature to their advantage, squeezed through the gaps between the adults to get to the front. Seeing the menacing members of the Golding family, the two girls were in high spirits, hoping they would give Phoenix Golding a good thrashing.

Jacqueline Spann ran out in a panic. Before she could finish speaking, Verna Golding shoved her aside. Jacqueline Spann fell to the ground. She knew this was serious; this group was here to cause trouble, and she wanted no part of it.
