Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Eating Mud Live
The others’ spirits lifted. Never ones to shy away from a good show, they started jeering, "That’s right, we all heard her! Mandy said it herself. If Rosalind Green had the guts to slash her, she’d eat this handful of mud."
"Mandy, you saw Rosalind Green slashing at you just now. She didn’t hold back with a single strike!"
Mandy York’s face went pale, then red. She stubbornly denied it, yelling, "I didn’t say that! You heard wrong!"
’There was no way she was eating mud. It was stinky, filthy, and utterly disgusting.’
"Everyone heard you. It’s useless to back out now," Juliana Rhodes said, looking at her calmly. Her gaze was unyielding.
She was Cooper Golding’s daughter-in-law. Though usually quiet and unassuming, she had a strong mind of her own and was a quick, efficient worker. Like Phoebe Huxley, she earned full work points, but she was far more shrewd.
"Yeah, we all heard it! Why are you trying to back out now?" the others clamored, enjoying the sight of Mandy York making a fool of herself.
Even the Golding family felt the same. Who could blame them? Mandy York was tactless, petty, and mean. She loved to stir up trouble and was even more annoying than Phoebe Huxley. Nobody liked the old hag.
Phoebe Huxley grabbed a handful of mud from the ground. Her hands were as large as cattail fans, and the clump of mud she held was bigger than a goose egg. She approached Mandy York with a menacing grin and threatened, "Are you going to eat it yourself, or should I feed you?"
Terrified, Mandy York kept backing away. In front of Phoebe Huxley, she was more timid than a mouse, completely unable to resist. What made her despair even more was that not even the Golding family would speak up for her.
"I... I was just kidding..."
"Who’s kidding with you? Are you going to eat it or not?" Phoebe Huxley roared.
Mandy York was sick with regret. After a glance at the mud in Phoebe Huxley’s hand, she turned to Juliana Rhodes to plead, "Juliana, we’re family. Can you put in a good word for me?"
"Even family has to be reasonable. Since you said it, you have to do it."
Juliana Rhodes’s expression remained calm. Although she and Mandy York were cousins-in-law, they weren’t particularly close. Moreover, she despised Phoenix Golding, so naturally, she couldn’t stand Mandy York’s family, who were close to Phoenix.
Most importantly, Phoenix Golding’s son, Ulysses Spann, often stole food from her daughter, Maeve Golding. Juliana Rhodes was just waiting for that family to have some bad luck. Besides, Rosalind Green’s son could help her make a lot of money, so of course she had to side with Rosalind.
The others also urged her on. Not a single person spoke up for Mandy York. It was just a clump of mud; it wouldn’t kill her. Everyone was happy to watch the show.
"Stop dawdling! I’ll feed you myself!"
Phoebe Huxley grabbed Mandy York and was about to stuff the mud in her mouth.
"I’ll eat it myself... What’s your hurry!"
Mandy York struggled free with all her might. She would rather eat it herself. ’Phoebe Huxley’s clump of mud is big enough to choke someone to death. I’ll just grab a smaller piece.’ Compared to Linden’s mother eating maggots the other day, Mandy felt a bit better. ’At least mud tastes a lot better than maggots.’
She picked up a small clump of mud and hesitated. Phoebe Huxley snorted, and Mandy York shivered, shut her eyes, and stuffed it into her mouth. But she couldn’t swallow it, and the foul, earthy taste filled her mouth.
Seeing that she had actually eaten it, the others lost interest and scattered to get back to work. Mandy York, thoroughly nauseated, spat all the mud out. Phoebe Huxley didn’t say anything more. It wasn’t like she actually wanted the old bitch to eat mud; she just wanted to teach her a lesson.
"PTUI, PTUI, PTUI... BLEGH..."
Mandy York stumbled away to rinse her mouth, feeling absolutely wretched. Phoebe Huxley shouted after her, "Next time you run your filthy mouth, I’ll make you eat maggots!"
Her steps faltered for a moment. Hatred flared in Mandy York’s eyes as she gritted her teeth and walked away.
