Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 

“Rebecca!” Janet finally dropped her facade, her smile replaced by a displeased expression as she looked at 

Rebecca 

Rebecca completely ignored her, continuing to walk away without acknowledging her presence. 

Not far away, Debra noticed the situation and frowned with displeasure. 

The next moment, she turned and went to find a security guard, giving him a few brief instructions. The guard, slightly puzzled, nodded in response. 

A moment later, the security guard made his way through the crowd, heading straight towards Janet, who stood with a glass of red wine in hand, eagerly scanning the crowd as she wondered, ‘Would Theodore be here today?” 

Theodore was conspicuous in the crowd, and Janet quickly spotted him, surrounded by many people. Her face lit up with a smile as she began to walk towards him. 

But just as she took a few steps, a security guard suddenly approached her. 

Janet frowned, looking displeasedly at the security guard blocking her path. 

“Ms. Mitchell, I’m sorry, but the hosts have informed us that you were not invited to this event. Please leave the premises immediately,” the security guard said sternly. 

Nearby guests also noticed the commotion and turned their attention towards them. 

Janet’s hand, holding the wine glass, froze in place. She retrieved her invitation card, saying, “But I have an 

invitation!” 

The security guard remained firm. “The hosts have made it clear that they did not invite you here.” 

Those words felt like a slap in Janet’s face. 

“Ms. Mitchell, please leave immediately,” the security guard reiterated. 

More people turned to look in their direction, causing Janet’s face to pale in embarrassment. 

This kind of event usually only required an invitation for anyone to join, and the hosts wouldn’t make things difficult for the guests. 

Why did the security guard come to escort her out without any care for her dignity at all? 

At that moment, Janet suddenly thought of Rebecca. 

Chapter 59 

She had just finished talking to Rebecca when the security guard approached. Could it be Rebecca’s doing? 

Some things shouldn’t be dwelled upon. Once thought of, they spiralled out of control, becoming increasingly 

irrational. 

She wasn’t close to the Carter family, so the only person who could have orchestrated the security guard’s 

intervention was Rebecca! 

Now that Rebecca was the spokesperson for Carter’s Jewel, she could easily have informed the Carter family to 

have Janet escorted out. 

With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Janet turned her head to scan the crowd. She needed to find Rebecca. If possible, she would even kill Rebecca with just her gaze. 

Rebecca also noticed the commotion around Janet. In fact, she hadn’t expected the security guard to ask Janet to leave. 

This was Carter’s Jewel’s grand opening, and only someone from the Carter family could have summoned the security guard to do such a thing. 

Rebecca couldn’t help but turn to Debra, who offered her a smile in response. 

In that instant, Rebecca understood that it was Debra’s doing. Suddenly, she felt a wave of happiness wash over 

her. 

She had already expressed her gratitude countless times, and saying it again would seem too formal for family. So, Rebecca said nothing and simply returned the smile, swirling the wine glass in her hand. 

On the other side, Janet followed Rebecca’s gaze and also noticed Debra. With just one glance, she recognized her as the woman she had encountered at Theodore’s house that day! 

In that instant, Janet recalled the altercation at Theodore’s house, realizing that this woman was responsible for the premature birth of her child due to their confrontation. 

Janet remained motionless as the security guard’s expression turned cold and displeased. “Ms. Mitchell, if you insist on staying, we will have to take action to make you leave.” 

The security’s action would involve physically removing her from the premises and throwing her out. 

Janet’s expression changed abruptly as she disdainfully threw away her invitation card. “Who cares about being at a lousy banquet?” 

With a toss of her gown’s hem, she walked away proudly. 

Despite her proud departure from the hotel, the facade of her feigned arrogance couldn’t hide the heavy gloom

that shrouded her face underneath the meticulously applied makeup. 

“Janet, why did you come out so soon?” Lisa was bewildered, her concern evident in her questioning tone. 

With a look of resentment, Janet yanked off the necklace around her neck and threw it out of the window in 

frustration. 

Seeing her demeanor, Lisa knew something was amiss. 

“Drive, let’s go back!” Janet ordered coldly. 

Lisa nodded quickly, instructing the driver to head back to Mitchell Villa. 

Upon returning home, Janet erupted in a fit of anger. However, her mood lightened when Mary entered the room 

with Arthur. 

Rebecca getting involved with Carter’s Jewel, well, was something. The better her relationship with Carter’s Jewel, 

the better her relationship with Charlie, it seemed. 

“Why is a grown man suddenly being so nice to a grown woman? What’s his motive?” she wondered. 

Janet reached out and lifted Arthur from Mary’s arms, her previously cloudy expression transforming into a radiant smile, leaving Lisa bewildered. 

“Lisa, have you arranged for someone to keep an eye on Rebecca and Charlie? Is everything set?” Janet inquired. 

“Not yet,” Lisa cautiously replied. Janet had only instructed her to do so recently, and she hadn’t had the chance to organize it yet. 

As she spoke, Lisa carefully observed Janet’s expression. It seemed too strange, so she had to ask, “Janet, did Rebecca cause you trouble today?” 

“Don’t worry about my affairs. Just hurry up and get the investigation underway. We must catch Rebecca and 

Lisa nodded in understanding. “Alright.”

video!” Janet’s tone was Ky. Lanusided 

Carter’s Jewel grand opening banquet was in full swing. 

Charlie had pulled Rebecca aside to a secluded corner, away from the hustle and bustle of socializing. He urged her to ignore the others and indulge in the delicious treats laid out on the table. 

The spread was lavish with an array of delectable desserts and delicacies. 

Rebecca’s nerves were eased by Charlie’s gesture, and she obediently accepted his offerings, savoring each sweet 

bite.

However, their moment was interrupted when someone approached Charlie for conversation, prompting him to temporarily leave Rebecca’s side to attend to the guests in the hall. 

Meanwhile, at the heart of the banquet, Theodore was surrounded by a throng of people. Amidst the chatter, his gaze frequently drifted towards Rebecca. 

As Charlie pulled Rebecca into a secluded corner to savor some sweets, his poker face remained intact, but beneath that cool exterior, his heart was already plunging into a deep freeze, colder than an ice bath on a winter’s day. 

When did Rebecca and Charlie first meet? How long had they been involved in this clandestine affair behind his back? 

What irked him most was that despite knowing he would be attending the event, Rebecca had the audacity to show up, and now, she seemed to be completely disregarding his presence, cozying up to Charlie as if he didn’t 

exist! 

As time passed and the banquet drew to a close, Theodore was among the first to take his leave. His demeanor, cold and distant, didn’t go unnoticed by those familiar with him, or even those who weren’t. They could tell that Theodore was clearly in a foul mood today.
