Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 264

"Isabella was shocked when she received the recovered evidence. She could not believe that the evidence, which had been deliberately destroyed, could be recovered. However, Isabella was not the one to decide whether to reopen the court and prosecute the criminal; she had to ask Carly. If Carly agreed, they could reopen the court. So, Isabella brought the evidence to Carly. When Isabella presented the evidence at Carly's home, Carly was also stunned. When Isabella asked whether they should go to court again and sue the criminal, Carly firmly said they should."

"Why do you want to sue? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?" Connor asked. He suddenly came back and approached them somberly. He reached out to snatch the evidence from Carly's hand, but she instinctively gripped the flash drive and hid it behind her. Isabella also swiftly stretched her hands and protected Carly.

"Give it to me!" Connor yelled, staring at them unhappily.

"What are you going to do?" Isabella asked, staring alertly at Connor. She was very nervous.

Connor stared at the duo unhappily and ordered again, "Carly, give me the drive!"

Carly put the drive in her pocket, glared at Connor, and retorted, "This is none of your business. Stop interfering!"

"How is it none of my business? Do you have any idea of the embarrassment I have endured? I can't hold my head up at work or home with my relatives and friends. It's basically everyone I see!" Connor said with resentment. He stared at Carly with malice as if she were something filthy. "Carly, have some shame and throw the drive away. And don't mention this incident again!" he snapped.

Carly felt her heart pierced by the blatant disgust in his eyes. Although her feelings had been numbed over time, and she had never expected him to let go of what had happened, she was still distressed to see him look at her like that. "Why should I be ashamed? Connor, I was forced! I'm a victim, too! Why should I be ashamed? Fine! If you're ashamed, let's get a divorce! After we divorce, I will have nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about being ashamed anymore!" Carly shouted in disappointment.

Isabella was distraught to see Carly crying. However, there was nothing she could do but protect her behind her back.

Connor stood and stared at Carly. When he heard she wanted a divorce, his expression turned dark. He raised his hand and was about to hit her.

Isabella frowned and moved quickly forward. She was faster than him and slapped Connor hard in the face. He had never been slapped by Isabella before, so he did not take her seriously at that time. Connor could not believe Isabella had slapped him. He was stunned as his mind went blank. He turned to Isabella, unable to grasp what had just happened.
