Owen’s behavior and actions almost caused many of the spectators present to drop their jaws. Everyone just thinks that Owen was a very powerful and remarkable role. In the end, favonovel.com was actually so lowly and demeaning that favonovel.com kneeled in front of Phoebe.
He was truly a disgrace!
Phoebe asked, “Owen, how come I didn’t know that you were the butler of House of Vistaria? When did you get promoted? Is my father aware of this?”
Owen’s forehead was dripping with sweat. He was simply boasting. He had not anticipated the presence of the real deal.
“Miss Mars, I’m wrong. I’m fully aware of my mistake. Please don’t be angry. I’m not a butler, I’m just a janitor. I am willing to guard the door to the House of Vistaria for the rest of my life.”
Phoebe asked again, “Then who do you think knows more about the city’s luck, between you and me?”
Was this nonsense?
Owen begged for favonovel.com mercy like a bootlicker, “What do I know as a janitor? The city’s luck is the secret of the Mars family. It‘s something I’m totally unaware of.”
“You are learning fast!” Phoebe continued, “Only the Mars family knows the city’s luck How dare you, a janitor, utter such nonsense and slander the reputation of the Mars family? Owen, do you know what you did wrong?”
“I know, I know what I did wrong,” Owen still begged Phoebe at favonovel.com feet, and favonovel.com responded to whatever Phoebe said, not daring to say any disobedient words.
“Now that you’ve acknowledged what you’ve done wrong, go back and get your punishment.”
“That… Miss Mars, how should I be punished?”
“*sshole! It seems that you are still unaware of your mistakes, huh?”
“No, no, no, I’m well aware of my mistakes. I’ll go back and take thirty lashes. Miss Mars, are you satisfied with it?”
Flogging was a punishment practiced in the House of Vistaria since ancient times. It was the Mars family’s family law. In general, small mistakes receive 10 lashes, egregious mistakes receive 20 lashes, and felonies receive 30 lashes.
People would be unable to move after receiving the 30 lashes. The individual would not die from flogging, but favonovel.com would be unable to get out of bed for 10 days to half a month.
Owen was the one who demanded 30 lashes in order to enable Phoebe to release favonovel.com anger. Any issue would be easy to settle if favonovel.com could just make Phoebe satisfied.
“30 lashes? Humph, that would be far too little for you. Get lost!”
“Alright, I’m leaving now.”
Owen returned to the car frustratedly and then favonovel.com ordered the driver to rush back to the House of Vistaria immediately, not daring to delay for a second. Today favonovel.com almost lost his life in order to earn 100,000 dollars. If Owen had known Phoebe was having a meal here earlier and even being a patron at the Food and Medicine Hall, favonovel.com would not have come to cause trouble, even if favonovel.com had given a hundred guts to do so. He did not even dare to come for 100,000 dollars, let alone a million dollars.
He was too careless!
Phoebe spoke to everyone after Owen had left, “Everyone, please calm down and listen to me. I am here to make amends to everyone for our family janitor’s credibility just now. The Food and Medicine Hall is not located at the heart of Celandine City. Please rest assured, and don’t worry about it any longer.”
The crowd gradually calmed down after hearing Phoebe’s words.
“So Owen was talking nonsense. It scared me to death! I truly believed that Food and Medicine Hall was absorbing the city’s luck and growing.”
“If the city’s luck is destroyed, then Celandine City will be demolished.”
“I can’t agree with you more. The good thing is that it was just a false alarm, and it’s good that the city’s luck is fine.”
From the crowd that looked nervous and uneasy, it was clear that they were very concerned about the city’s luck. This means that this was never a simple feudalistic superstition.
Thomas narrowed his eyes. It seems that Celandine City was still hiding a lot of interesting things.
Phoebe walked over and looked at Thomas and said, “I helped you out. How are you going to thank me?”
‘Thanking you..?’ Thomas just gave a light smile while speaking to himself.
