Chapter 1175

Loid was confused by Arthur's actions. He massaged his temples and helplessly said, "You should at least tell me why you want me to kneel, right?" Why was Arthur telling him to get on his knees for no reason? "The reason doesn't matter. Just get on your knees," Arthur ordered icily. Loid remained where he was. Arthur was truly enraged. "You won't kneel, huh? Fine. Since I can't order you around anymore, I guess I'll just die. I'm going to heaven to see Lily." Loid was at a loss for words. Why was everyone threatening him with death? Fine, then. He supposed he had to submit to them and kneel. Loid straightened his back and got on his knees. The next moment, Arthur took a belt and hit him on the back. "This one is for being a heartless, unworthy husband." It was quite a heavy blow that left a wound on Loid's back. Even so, Loid didn't even let out a grunt. He just had to bear with it. Arthur was getting on in age. He must have suffered some kind of wrongdoing earlier when he was out and was taking it out on Loid because he had no other way of venting his anger. Arthur hit him one more time. "This one is for being ungrateful. Lily was so good to us, yet you had the gall to go and cheat on her. How could you let her down like that?" When Loid heard that, he grabbed the belt Arthur was holding. "Wait! When did I ever let her down?" "Still trying to protest?" Arthur hit him again. "I saw it with my own two eyes. How are you going to worm your way out of this one? Lily was always so sincere toward you. How dare you treat her like this? Lily was so kind, and she spread love to so many people. How could you do something so disappointing?" He continued beating Loid. "I'm going to teach you a lesson on her behalf, you ungrateful man!" Arthur only stopped after ten hits. Loid massaged his back and looked at Arthur. "Are you done?" Arthur let out an icy huff. "I called you here to tell you that I'm cutting ties with you. The Laurier family refuses to accept someone like you." Melanie added, "Exactly. I was going to say the same thing. Since you did something so terrible to Lily, I'm no longer your mother. From now on, Lily is my daughter. If you're so fond of sleeping with other women, go ahead and be with them. You can forget about ever stepping foot into Laurier Residence as long as I'm alive, though." Their words left Loid stunned. It took a while before he replied, "Even death row inmates get a chance to appeal, you know. Shouldn't you guys tell me what on earth is going on? When did I ever betray Lily?" "Looks like you're going to deny it to the bitter end." Angrily, Arthur told him, "Today, I saw two children who look exactly like you did as a kid. They were basically clones of you. They were almost four years old, which means their mother must have gotten pregnant with them five years ago. "At the time, Lily had sacrificed herself to save the people of Clusia. Meanwhile, you were sleeping with another woman. Can you seriously tell me with a clear conscience that you haven't done anything to wrong her?" Loid frowned. How could there be two children who looked identical to him? He hadn't heard anything about Tilly and Toby going to Antique Street. He thought they had been at Laurier Residence all day and Daniel had taken them to his house afterward. When Melanie heard that, she immediately asked Arthur, "Are you sure there were two children who looked just like him, Dad?" She didn't know that Tilly and Toby had been at Antique Street either, nor that Arthur would bump into them. She genuinely thought there were two other children who looked exactly like Loid. "Of course. I saw them with my own two eyes. How could it be fake?" Arthur responded.
