Chapter 1375
“I can explain, Dad.” Ren let out an exhale.
“What’s there to explain? You’ve forced Ruka to move in with you. How are you going to explain this to
the Singeds and your sister? You… you have no respect for this family!” Harold’s belt came flying down
on Ren’s back once more.
The smacking sound was so loud that the servant who came to the door with a tray of tea jumped in
alarm. She could vaguely hear the sounds of someone being hit, so she quickly went to look for
Charlotte.
Charlotte just so happened to be on the second floor as well. When she heard what the servant said,
she immediately flung aside the flowers she had been arranging and rushed to the study.
Once she arrived, she began pounding on the door. “Open up, Harold! What are you doing? Why are
you hitting Ren?”
“Stay out of it,” Harold growled toward the door.
Charlotte sent the servant to retrieve the key, and the servant did it as quickly as possible. As soon as
the door opened, Charlotte saw her son kneeling on the ground as Harold raised the belt to continue
lashing him. She was horrified and immediately stood in Harold’s way.
“Don’t you
dare hit him again! What did he even do? He’s thirty-three! How can you treat him like that? Have you
gone daft in your old age?!” Charlotte cried out before snatching the belt out of Harold’s hands. Despite
his anger, he allowed his wife to take it away from him.
Charlotte threw the belt aside and helped Ren up. “Get up, Ren, quickly.”
Once Ren stood up, Harold looked at Charlotte and said, “Stay out of this. I’ll handle it.”
Harold thought that his wife was too old to withstand the news of such scandalous behavior and.
decided to keep it from her.
However, he heard Ren sighing and saying, “Mom, Dad found out about Ruka and me.”
Harold jumped in shock. How could Ren announce it to Charlotte just like that? Isn’t he worried that she
might faint in anger?
