What Tanya Thorne didn't know was that Jacqueline Spann had also said some vague, insidious things to Phoenix Golding. This was the real reason Phoenix had flown into a rage. Ulysses Spann had forgotten all about the incident by the afternoon; if Jacqueline hadn't brought it up, Phoenix would have never known.
A sinister look darkened Jim Thorne's eyes. 'I have to settle this score,' he thought. 'My sister can't have suffered for nothing. Phoenix Golding, Jacqueline Spann, and Ulysses Spann... they can all just wait. I'll make them pay!'
Clayton Xavier sensed Jim's fury and quickly tried to placate him. "Jacqueline probably didn't know anything about it. Jim, don't be too impulsive."
Even though he had been distancing himself from Jacqueline Spann, he still had feelings for her and didn't want to see her get hurt. 'She can't be that bad,' he thought. 'There must be some kind of misunderstanding.'
