Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 271

It had been several years since the incident, but Connor still could not let it go. Whenever he saw Carly, he could not help but feel that she was dirty and disgusting. He thought he might live the rest of his life that way, but he never expected that Carly would sue and want to divorce him.

When he received the court notice, his mind went blank. Once he came to his senses, he thought Carly was crazy. 'She's really out of her mind! Does she really think that just because Isabella married a wealthy man, she can also rise to success? Now she wants to leave me and not be with me anymore?' he mused.

Connor laughed in anger. However, his smile did not last long as the court notice was real. Carly had indeed sued him.

Connor was educated, so he knew that his past actions of hitting Carly could be his biggest downfall. If she accused him of domestic violence, her chances of winning the divorce case were very high.

After Carly filed for divorce, they might really end up divorced. After realizing it, Connor was panicked. He began frantically researching, and to his surprise, he found quite a lot of useful information. Despite the domestic violence, as long as he insisted on not divorcing, there were many cases where the court did not grant a divorce, especially in the first trial, which often focused on mediation.

But what Connor did not know was that Adrian was a top lawyer. Ordinary people might have panicked during the first trial and mistakenly thought they could not get a divorce, leading them to withdraw the case. But domestic violence was a serious issue, and if the case was not withdrawn and mediation was refused, the court would have granted the divorce.

Twenty days later, Carly and Connor's divorce case started in court.

Connor had prepared many statements, but they were useless against Adrian. Instead, the more Connor spoke, the more he revealed. Adrian uncovered Connor's true thoughts from various unexpected angles, laying them bare for the judge.

As Adrian listed each accusation for the judge, Connor felt his head buzzing. By the time the trial ended, he still could not understand how things had turned out this way.

When the judge announced the verdict and ordered his divorce from Carly, Connor was frozen. He could not believe it and was not willing to accept it.

"Divorce? That's impossible! Carly, don't even think about divorcing me. You'll never get a divorce from me in this lifetime!" Connor could no longer control his emotions and shouted. However, the court's ruling was final. His divorce from Carly was a done deal, and Connor could not change anything.

Connor's parents quickly rushed over, trying to grab Ronald. They did not care if Carly wanted a divorce, but the child was theirs, and they insisted on keeping him in the Zane family. Unfortunately, before they could reach Carly and Ronald, they were stopped by bodyguards arranged in advance by the Carter family.

Carly hurriedly bent down to pick up Ronald and rushed out. She walked quickly, fearing that the Zane family would catch up and take Ronald away from her.

"Carly, if you want to leave, go ahead. We don't need you. But Ronald is ours. You can't take him away. Leave the child here!" Connor's mother, Fiona Zane, was stopped by the bodyguards. Seeing Carly leaving with Ronald, she shouted anxiously.

Hearing their words, Carly quickened her pace even more. She would not leave Ronald to the Zane family. Ronald was her child, and she had raised him herself. Connor never cared about Ronald, and the Zane family did not deserve to keep him. Besides, the court had already ruled that Ronald was hers, and the Zane family had no right to take him.
