You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1348 Manual Labor

The children obediently finished their meals before heading to the study for a standing punishment.

Shaun, Ethen, Jack, and Bradley were all given a stern glare by Benjamin. They didn't dare to dawdle any longer and hurriedly went out to accept their punishment.

Their punishment was far more severe than the children's. They were made to heavy loads for a distance of thirty kilometers.

“Why are you following us? You should have just slipped away!” Shaun turned his head to look at Bradley.

With a goofy grin, Bradley said, “I wish I could, but unfortunately, Boss also glared at me!”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have foolishly followed them.

Shaun chuckled, then said to Bradley, “Do you even know what our punishment is? Did you just come without knowing anything?”

“What?” Bradley glanced at Shaun, sensing something was amiss. He then turned his gaze to Ethen and Jack.

“We're trekking thirty kilometers with weights!” Ethen sympathetically patted Bradley's shoulder and advised, “You might still have a chance if you go back and plead with Mrs. Graham now!”

The corner of Bradley's mouth twitched. The punishment sounded too cruel. “Did Mr. Graham specify that that was the punishment?”

Their confidence puzzled him. How do they know? Could it be that Mr. Graham had already mentioned it without my knowledge?

“Mr. Graham has always been clear about rewards and punishments. Needless to say, we already know what the punishment would be. Compared to Mr. Watts, our punishment can be considered light.”

Ethen felt much better after comparing their punishment to Kingsley's.

“Don't include me in this. I'm far worse off than you guys.”

Shaun glanced at them, regretting the words he had spoken at the dinner table. He should have kept a low profile in front of Benjamin.

Jack chuckled and said, “I'm the one who's got it worst. I didn't even join you guys, and I still got punished!”

“Well, it's because you knew about this too but didn't tell Mr. Graham!”

Ethen shot him a cunning smile as if he had anticipated that Benjamin would find out. He figured it might be better to drag someone else into punishment; at least they'd be in it together.

Jack's face darkened as realization dawned upon him. “No wonder you wanted to tell me about the plan! You're so cunning!”

Shaun sympathized with Jack, patting him on the shoulder. “Let's hurry over, or we'll be up until midnight!”

Jack chuckled and said dismissively, “It's just thirty kilometers. I'll have it done in no time. You guys might take a bit longer though.”

Shaun and Ethen were speechless.

Bradley shared their sentiment. However, he was also slightly curious, as this was the first time he had encountered such a punishment.

Alas, Bradley sorely underestimated the weights that he would be carrying. The moment Bradley hoisted the weights onto his back, he could feel the weight dragging him down, making it impossible to stand straight. Running thirty kilometers with the weights seemed like a Herculean task now.

That night, only Jack managed to complete his punishment with ease, while Bradley, Ethen, and Shaun flailed.
