Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling Chapter 355: Jacqueline Spann Takes the Blame

CRACK!

A whip lashed out, cutting short Phoenix Golding’s smugness. She shrieked in pain. Jethro Golding announced, "Fourteen lashes to go!"

Phoenix Golding was drenched in a cold sweat. ’She knew she couldn’t possibly endure another fourteen lashes.’

"Stop hitting ..."

Phoenix Golding wailed, begging for rcy. Her mind was growing groggy.

"You should have thought of the consequences when you made the report!"

Jethro Golding struck again. He was furious and resentful toward Phoenix Golding. She had brought utter sha upon the Golding Clan. ’From now on, that old codger Preston Thorne will surely use this incident to hold sothing over the Golding family.’

"I... I... I didn’t an to! It was Vernon Spann who told to report them! And Jacqueline was the one who told about the rabbits. Vernon Spann hates the Thorne family for taking his cattle-herding job, so he told to go tell the town authorities about them raising rabbits. I... I must have been possessed at the ti... Uncle Jethro, I know I was wrong... Please don’t hit anymore!"

Phoenix Golding couldn’t take it anymore. Her body felt like it was being sliced by a thousand cuts, an agonizing pain that pierced her to the core. Right now, all she wanted was to escape the whipping. She wouldn’t survive if it continued. The best way she could think of was to shift all the bla onto Vernon Spann.

’She had supported that good-for-nothing for over a decade; it was about ti he made himself useful.’

Besides, she also resented Jacqueline for telling her about the rabbits in the first place. ’She must have done it on purpose to harm .’ This daughter of hers was just as selfish as Vernon Spann, wishing for her misfortune. And now that she was in trouble, the father and daughter were nowhere to be seen. Phoenix Golding was consud by hatred for them, and the accusation flew from her lips without a second thought.

Down below, the color drained from Vernon Spann’s face. ’That damn bitch was actually framing him.’

"Nonsense! I didn’t know anything about raising rabbits. So what if the cattle-herding job is gone? What’s there for to be angry about? And there’s no way I’d tell her to report it!"

"You’re the one who instigated this! I only did sothing so stupid because you tricked and muddled my thinking! Vernon Spann, don’t you dare try to shift the bla!" Phoenix Golding shrieked, her eyes filled with hatred.

Vernon Spann let out a cold laugh and said mockingly, "You’d listen to ? When have you ever listened to a word I’ve said? You and I haven’t... for over a decade..."

"It’s all my fault! Grandpa Jethro, whip instead! I’m the one who let it slip. If I hadn’t said anything, none of this would have happened! Use the whip on ! I’ll take the remaining fourteen lashes for my mother."

Jacqueline rushed forward, crying, cutting off the rest of Vernon Spann’s sentence. She shot him a warning look.

Vernon Spann’s heart skipped a beat. ’He had almost blurted out the fatal truth. Doing that would have earned him the Golding family’s undying hatred. He still needed the village to issue a certificate for him to return to the city. If the Golding family decided to cause trouble for him, he’d never be able to go back in this lifeti.’

"Jacqueline, co back! This has nothing to do with you."

Vernon Spann tried to pull Jacqueline back. He didn’t want his daughter to take the whipping for Phoenix Golding. But Jacqueline was too fast. In an instant, she was up on the platform, shielding Phoenix Golding with her own body, tearfully begging Jethro Golding to whip her instead.

Such filial piety was enough to move heaven and earth. Many people were touched by the deeply devoted and filial Jacqueline. So even envied Phoenix Golding for having such a dutiful and capable daughter.

Jethro Golding looked at Jacqueline with gratification. ’His niece was a disappointnt, but the daughter she’d given birth to was a good one.’

Phoenix Golding, however, felt no gratification at all. She loathed Jacqueline, shrieking, "It was her and Vernon Spann who bewitched ! That father and daughter have malicious intentions! Uncle Jethro, hit her and Vernon Spann!"

Jacqueline bit her lip hard, burying her hatred deep in her heart. She nodded through her tears. "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have said we should raise rabbits at ho like Grandpa Byron’s family. We haven’t had at at ho for so long, and I thought if we raised rabbits, we’d have at to eat. I was wrong... Grandpa Jethro, please, whip . I was truly wrong!"
