Tang Xiaonan couldn't focus on her afternoon classes. She was too busy thinking about Storm Xavier. 'Clayton Xavier must be devastated after seeing his father in such a disgraceful state, right?'
Tang Xiaonan regretted not having read the book more carefully. When Clayton Xavier and Jacqueline Spann got married, both Storm Xavier and Verna Golding were present. Logically, Verna should have known about the ugly affair between Storm Xavier and Phoenix Golding. Why didn't she stop it?
Given how filial Clayton Xavier was, he surely wouldn't have married Jacqueline Spann if Verna Golding had disagreed.
And then there was Old Mrs. Xavier. Everyone said she was a shrewd and capable woman. Verna Golding might have been too simple and honest to know what was going on, but the old matriarch surely did. How could she have let Storm Xavier bully Verna like that, and what's more, allow Clayton Xavier to marry Jacqueline Spann, twisting a knife in Verna's heart?
