After returning to school, Fia Thorne barely made it through the rest of her classes. She had to stop Jim Thorne, who wanted to go and settle scores with Phoenix Golding. Phoenix Golding was a teacher, so Jim would surely be at a disadvantage if he confronted her openly. 'I'll have to find a way to secretly make trouble for that woman later.'
'Hmph, she's not getting away with hurting my hand for nothing.'
'And I'll give Felix Thorne an earful, too. We'll see if he still pines for that black-hearted woman after this.'
Jacqueline Spann was on edge all afternoon, filled with a touch of regret. 'If I'd known it would blow up like this, I never would have said those things to Phoenix Golding. I just wanted her to give Fia Thorne a little punishment. It's only right for a teacher to punish a student. Even a family as overbearing as the Thornes couldn't argue with that.'
