Face-Slapping System

Chapter 42 Punishment

In their previous house, Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella chose to resign on their own due to Janine.

As her parents, they were aware of how much she loved cars and how much she loved racing during her spare time.

However, the pay they got from working would never be enough due to the living situation in a high-grade city

High grade city means a higher wage, but it also means a higher cost of living. Their wage as both a butler and a housekeeper were just enough to live a stable life.

When Janine started working after she turned eighteen, the couple thought that it would be the time that she saved for herself so that she could buy a car that she wanted.

However, they did not expect that her love for cars would be the cause for them to resign from their previous work.

Their previous master was a materialistic person. Although this was the case for every master out there, the case in here was just on another level. To the point that the previous master would punish or scold a servant if they were caught staring at something of their possession.

One time, Janine caught sight of her brand-new car. She was not trained enough yet and hence would still show some emotions while working.

As a result, Janine received a scolding on her first week of work, due to her staring at the previous master's car.

Although they were not fired due to it, the couple loved Janine very much, and hence decided to resign immediately, lest the situation occurs again. They just could not bear seeing Janine getting scolded again in front of them, without them being able to do anything.

Hence, when they were offered a job at this remote place, they immediately accepted, especially after seeing the contract that the 'other party' laid out.

With a private plane waiting for them to pick up, the two immediately flew to Fore City overnight to welcome their master first thing in the morning.

This time, the two of them were relieved after inspecting the villa.

Although it was overly luxurious, the villa only has a pick-up car, which probably would not be able to catch their daughter's eyes.

When they met Roland and saw that he was only riding an ordinary sedan, and how ordinary he dressed, they felt relieved even more, guessing that he was not a materialistic person.

Discovering his attitude towards the workers later made the couple think that the hasty decision they made was not wrong.

When Butler Frank saw the exquisite car being delivered earlier, he was not worried that his daughter would implicate them again due to a simple sin such as staring at the car.

He knew that his new master, Roland, was not that pity and stingy of a person.

When they saw Roland driving the car around, Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella only saw it as a child playing with his toy.

However, when the toy pulled over in front of the villa and when they saw their daughter emerging from its passenger seat, they could no longer contain their previous calm as horror filled their face.

The two of them did not even bother about what they were working previously as they hurriedly went in front of Roland in order to apologize on behalf of their daughter.

When they heard Roland defending their daughter and even recounted what happened, the two secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Roland was an honest person, what he said was probably what happened.

However, this was not what they were apologizing for.

"Master, the act of seating in the master's passenger seat is a sin of a servant. Today was even supposed to be her first day of work and instead of reporting directly, she actually took her time and made the Master drive her towards her. This is unforgivable?" Butler Frank stated with a firm tone.

This time, he knew that his daughter was in the wrong and he would not cover her just because she was his daughter.

Housekeeper Stella nodded her head with a grim expression. It was obvious that she agreed with Butler Frank's reasoning.

At this time, Janine also had her head lowered. She also realized the 'sin' that she did, and she has nothing to say about it.

Even if Roland offered her to hop in, as a good servant, she should not have hopped in, because the master's possessions were not the servant's possession.

They must observe a clear line between what they can use and what they can't use.

"Please punish her on our behalf, Master!" Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella's voices were stern. It seems that they would not let this one slide that easily.

Roland frowned.

"How troublesome!" He did not expect for his small action to have this kind of effect.

It was only now that he realized how the structure of his life has already changed.

Previously, no matter how he cursed or no matter how he hated someone, he could only hate them from a distance if he didn't want to physically hurt them.

Now, even just simple words could turn a simple person's life to hell.

For example, if he fired one of the workers that was particularly in need of urgent money now, his or her life would surely turn upside down.

The effects of having money and influence were truly astronomical.

However, Roland was never a person who would do something meaningless.

He thought for a moment and finally said, "Alright! I have a punishment in mind and after this, we will consider this as quits, alright!"

Hearing that made Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella's eyes lit up. It was apparent that they were adamant that he should punish Janine.

As for Janine, a hint of nervousness and fear appeared on her face once she heard him.

She was aware of the real reason why her parents resigned on their previous work. She was afraid that her recent actions might have implicated them again.

She felt guilty and at the same time, angry on herself for not being able to control herself in front of a nice car.

Color drained her face as her enthusiastic expression was replaced by a gloomy one.

Roland's face turned ferocious all of a sudden, a mischievous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth without the others noticing.

"Since she dared to sit on the passenger seat and made her Master drive for her for five laps, then, her punishment is also to drive her Master for five laps in this path."

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" He added with a smile.

"So, how about it? Are you guys satisfied with her punishment?" He said while eyeing at the dumbfounded Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella.
