Face Slapping

My cousin, John Anderson, always paid me in tens rather than in thousands. He owned a renovation company, and my team and I always worked hard for his projects. However, he only transferred me thirty dollars for sand and concrete that were worth three thousand dollars. Besides that, he only transferred me one thousand five hundred dollars to finance customized doors and windows worth one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I did not harp on that. Instead, I bore the cost in full, as he was my cousin. That was until his wife, Rory Anderson, scolded me in front of all the workers. “Peter’s a bloodsucker. He never informs us whenever he buys new materials. He must have scammed a lot of money from us! I saw that he got himself a new house and a new car. I bet these are all bought with money he took from us!” John smoked next to us and sighed, “Never mind. He’s family after all.” I was furious when I heard that. I paid more than six hundred thousand dollars’ worth of material fees for him, and he was accusing me of stealing his money? The next client had a mansion and wanted natural marbles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for his living room floor. John approved the request but only transferred me a thousand dollars to get it sorted out. So, I went to the brick factory located in the countryside and got a truckload of used red bricks from pigpens. Then, I used them for the client’s flooring.

Chapter 1

Walter Black opened the heavy doors of his mansion.

His excitement fell as he suddenly stopped in his tracks. The spacious living room’s floor that was supposed to be natural marble had dirt and pig excretion smells from the used bricks.

Walter’s expression immediately darkened.

He threw the renovation plan abruptly onto the floor. “John! Is this the natural marble that cost me one hundred thousand dollars that you promised me?”

Walter pointed at the bricks on the floor as his voice echoed in the empty living room.

John Anderson trembled from fear.

He immediately ran forward. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the entire floor covered in bricks.

He turned around abruptly and stared furiously at me.

“Peter! What did you do?! I told you to purchase imported marble, and you got me a truckload of bricks that were used for pigpens?”

John strode toward me, and the finger that was pointing at me almost poked my nose. Rory Anderson followed behind John. When she heard that, she immediately took a step forward with her arms crossed.

“Peter! I knew you were being shady!

“Mr. Black paid us a hundred thousand dollars of material fees, and you simply got a truckload of lousy bricks for it?

“Did you take the remaining money for yourself?”

Rory’s voice was piercing, and it echoed in the entire first floor of the mansion.

The workers that were working on the second floor heard the commotion. All of them stopped working to poke their heads out and observe while murmuring.

“Mr. Smith usually seems pretty honest. Why would he do such a thing?”

“A hundred thousand dollars! And he’s using used bricks. This is too unethical.”

“Mrs. Anderson’s right. He bought a house and a car not too long ago. I bet he’s taking money from the company!”

Rory seemed even more smug after hearing the workers’ gossip.

She pointed at me as she spat, “Everyone, listen to him! I believe you can tell the truth! Peter’s a bloodsucker and a traitor! John has promoted you to be a project manager because you’re family. Is this how you’re repaying our kindness?”

I stared at Rory coldly as she made a scene.

Then, I turned around to look at John.

John took out a cigarette as he stood on the side.

He took a drag and blew out smoke. Then, he put on a hurt expression.

“Peter, you’ve really let me down.

“Rory has been calling you out for a while, but I couldn’t believe it. I would have never imagined that you’d do this to Mr. Black. Never mind, you’re family. I’ll help you pay the remaining fee.”

John turned to look at Walter with a huge smile on his face.

“Mr. Black, don’t be angry. Peter’s in the wrong, but I’ll immediately get my workers to get rid of these bricks. Tomorrow, I’ll personally pick the best marble for you.”Walter snorted, showing that he was not buying it. “John, don’t sweet-talk me! I don’t care how you do your business with your cousin, but you have to give me an explanation today! A hundred thousand dollars’ worth of material turned into a truckload of bricks. Do you really think I’m an idiot?”Walter was extremely furious as he yelled at John, who endured the scolding without refuting. Then, he turned around and lashed his anger out at me. “Peter, what are you standing here for? Apologize quickly to Mr. Black and give out the money that you’ve taken!” I looked at John’s shameless face, and I felt numb. I spent these few years working hard for his company. Every time he transferred me money, he paid me way less than due. Sand and concrete that were worth three thousand dollars, and he only paid me thirty do

“Everyone, take a good look at this! Mr. Black wanted imported marble worth a hundred thousand dollars, but John only transferred me a thousand dollars! What can I buy with a thousand dollars? I went to every supplier, and I couldn’t even afford to buy a broken piece of marble! I had no choice but to go to the countryside bricks factory and get these bricks that were used to build pigpens!”When the workers saw the transaction amount, they exploded. “What? It’s really only a thousand dollars!”“He only gave a thousand dollars for materials worth a hundred thousand dollars! This is crazy!”“Mr. Smith had no other choice!”“If it were me, I would’ve bought bricks too. A thousand dollars is not even enough for logistics!”Their opinions immediately switched. They started looking at John with disgust and anger. John started to sweat. He stammered, “It’s a misunderstanding! It’s just a misunderstanding!“Mr. Black, hear me out! My wife’s the one who did the transfer last night.

“John, if you dare to protect him, I’ll go back to my parents’ place!”Rory pointed at me and spoke through gritted teeth. “Peter has been the project manager for a few years; I bet he has embezzled at least seven to eight hundred thousand dollars! If he doesn’t pay us back, no one is leaving here today!”Walter stood aside and watched coldly. He was no longer angry. He just wanted to see how this would end. John was forced into a corner by Rory. He glanced at Walter and the workers upstairs. Then, his eyes turned vicious as he clenched his teeth. Since Rory wanted to blow this up, then he had no choice but to make sure I would be the one in the wrong. He cleared his throat and put on a helpless look. “Peter, since Rory insists, I won’t hide the truth from everyone.”John turned around to face the workers as he said loudly, “Everyone might not know that Peter has indeed paid some material fees on behalf of the company.” John suddenly raised his voice. “But I gave him an al

John’s expression changed. “Peter! Don’t go overboard!”I ignored him and walked out of the mansion. Rory was screaming behind me. “He’s going to run! Stop him, quick! Don’t let him escape!”The workers stared at each other, helpless. None of them dared to stop me. I walked towards my pickup truck and opened its door. Then, I took out a stuffed black bag from underneath my passenger seat. I walked back into the living room with the bag. Rory saw the bag in my hand, and her eyes immediately brightened. She yelled smugly at Walter and the workers. “Quick, look! He came back with the money! I told you that he stole money from the company! I bet this bag is stuffed with cash!”Rory rushed forward and tried to grab the bag from me. I dodged her and walked to the wooden table in the middle of the living room, where I zipped the bag open before grabbing its other end and flipping it over. It was not money that came out. Instead, it was stacks of receipts, invoices, and ba

John was terrified. He fell onto his knees. “Mr. Black! Hear me out! This is the norm in the industry!”I ignored John’s cries and took out my phone to log into the workers’ group chat. Then, I sent a form detailing all the expenses that I had prepared the night before into the group chat. “Everyone can read the list in the group chat.”I looked at the workers on the second floor and said firmly.“For three years, I helped John pay six hundred and eighteen thousand dollars! I do not owe him a single cent. He owes me six hundred and eighteen thousand dollars of my hard-earned money instead!”John’s lies were finally unraveled. The workers read the information I had sent. Everyone was shocked. “So Mr. Anderson’s the bloodsucker!”“He’s scamming his own cousin! He has no morals!”Walter kicked the table before him. “John, you’re a scammer! I’m not going to let you off the hook!” John collapsed onto the floor and looked defeated. Rory finally came to her senses as she screa

“John, I have paid six hundred eighteen thousand dollars of material fees! You have to pay me back today!”John saw that the situation no longer favored him, so he immediately started to throw a tantrum. He stood up and patted the dust from his pants. “I don’t have money! You can take my life if you want! You delayed my project progress with those bricks, and it resulted in Mr. Black terminating his contract with me. I will sue you for my damages!”Rory was still held back by the workers as she yelled. “That’s right! We’re not even giving him a single cent! Let him sue us!”I no longer wasted my breath on this unreasonable couple. I took out my phone and made a call to the labor inspection team. “Hello, I want to report John Anderson’s renovation company for delaying payment and salary to his employees.”After I ended the call, I called the tax bureau. “Hello, I want to report a serious corruption and tax evasion case of John Anderson’s renovation company.

“However, I’ve looked into these few banks of the checks given.”I waved the check and immediately tore it into pieces in front of everyone. “This is a fake check! It’s worth nothing! John wants us to go back to work after giving us fake checks!”The senior workers were enraged after hearing that. They rushed forward and grabbed John’s collar. “You’re a liar! How dare you lie to us with fake checks!”John cowered in fear. I looked at the anxious workers and immediately walked toward them. I took out my phone and pulled up my bank app. “Everyone, since you’ve worked with me for so long, I won’t let you starve. I still have a hundred thousand dollars of personal savings. For those of you who desperately need money, come and register with me. I’ll help you with your expenses for this month!”The workers teared up after hearing my offer. A few young workers stepped forward. “Mr. Smith, you’re the man!”“We can no longer work with a horrible boss! We’ll work for you, Mr. Sm

A few masked gangsters sneaked into our site and smashed a dozen expensive windows that we had just installed. The next morning, the workers looked at the glass shards and cursed. When I received the phone call and reached the site, I was not panicked at all. I knew that John would not be happy and that he would cause disruptions. I had thus installed a few high-resolution cameras in the hidden corners of the site. I immediately retrieved the surveillance footage. The videos clearly revealed their unique marks, even with their faces covered. One of them was a gangster who usually hung out with John. I immediately sent the video to the police. The gangsters were captured by the police in less than a day. Under the police interrogation, they very quickly confessed that John was behind this incident. John was called to the police station. He had no way of lying his way out with the evidence. In the end, he was forced to compensate me thrice as much as the original price

She secretly went to the bank and tried to transfer the remaining money to her personal account and leave. The police arrived while she filled in the transfer form. They captured her.Meanwhile, John faced multiple lawsuits. The huge compensation to the restaurant owner, the refund requests from his previous clients, as well as the fines from the relevant bureaus. He completely lost hope with all the stress. A few days later, his work license was revoked according to law. The renovation company owner that was high and aloof immediately turned into a person that many despised. Six months later, the court had made a decision on John’s case. The properties, luxury cars, and the remaining company assets were all auctioned. The funds from the auction were prioritized for my compensation of six hundred eighteen th
