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

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. 

“Isabella, did you just hit me?” Connor asked. 

Isabella was also afraid. But thinking of her sister, she stood firm in front of him and did not budge. 

“Why can’t I? Connor, I have never beaten you before because you were my brother–in- law. But ask yourself honestly if you’re really qualified to be my brother–in–law after what you’ve done over the past few years,” Isabella argued, her face pale as she stared at him while asking. 

“Isabella, get out of here. Don’t think you can interfere in my family’s affairs after marrying into the Carter family. If you want to take control, go back home!” Connor snapped, reaching out to pull Isabella away from Carly. 

Carly could not stand it any longer. She lunged from behind and slapped Connor. 

Connor was so angry that he wanted to fight back. However, the two sisters joined hands and fought together. One slapped him in the face while the other kicked him, directly knocking him down. In the past, Connor would beat people up when angry at home. Carly was always the one who got hit, not the other way around. But that day, he was beaten up by the sisters. Carly was also furious. As they fought, she grabbed the vase beside her and was about to smash it at Connor. Isabella’s expression changed immediately as she hastily stopped Carly. It was fine to hit Connor, but not with a vase. If he died, they might have to go to jail, which was not worth it. 

When Connor saw Isabell

Isabella saw his frightened look and suddenly remembered what Adrian had told her, ‘In this world, most people bully the weak and fear the strong. If you’re weak, others will want to bully you. If you act tougher, people won’t dare to bully you and may even fear you.’ Isabella thought Connor’s reaction confirmed Adrian’s words. She and Carly had used to endure and give in to Connor, but instead of being thoughtful and understanding, Connor had even started to hate and bully them more. On the contrary, when she and Carly grew stronger and were no longer afraid of him, Connor was afraid of their retaliation. 

“Carly, let’s leave him alone and pack your things at home. You and Ronald can move into our house first. I can get Adrian to take care of your case, and when you move in,
