Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Innocence Never Dies by Ace** Nora could hardly wrap her mind around the words she had just heard. She blinked, trying to process the reality of the situation.

"Did I really get accepted...?" she murmured softly, half-expecting the voice on the other end to retract the statement. "Yes, Ms. Yates. Your design submission was truly exceptional. After multiple rounds of thorough review, we are thrilled to inform you that you have been awarded the overseas study slot. You have three days to prepare your documents. Once everything is in order, please send them to our back-end email.

We will notify you once the formalities are complete..." The voice was professional yet warm, but all Nora could focus on was the overwhelming surge of disbelief and joy bubbling within her. Her heart raced as she thought back to Travis's interference. She had been certain that his meddling would ruin any chance she had of securing this opportunity. Yet here she was, chosen by Horizon Corp. It felt surreal. Suppressing a bubbling excitement that threatened to spill over, she took a deep breath and grabbed the checklist the representative had promised to send her.

She began to meticulously cross-reference it with the documents she had ready. That's when a wave of panic washed over her-her passport was missing from her ID pouch. A flicker of memory ignited in her mind. She recalled the tropical vacation she and Travis had once planned. She had placed both their passports in a separate drawer, but the trip had never materialized. It dawned on her that the passports must still be there, gathering dust. This realization brought with it an unwelcome dilemma-she would need to return to Travis's villa to retrieve it.

As soon as she stepped into the house, the butler had already announced her presence to Travis. She could only imagine the look on his face when he heard she was there. Once Travis wrapped up his work, he promptly instructed his assistant to prepare the car for a trip to pick up Quinton. Meanwhile, Nora made her way to their old bedroom, her heart pounding in her chest. She opened the drawer, and there it was-her passport, sitting innocently among forgotten memories. However, just as she stepped outside, the butler, flanked by two maids, intercepted her with an air of authority. "Mrs.

Luther, please wait. Everything in this house belongs to Mr. Luther. Without his explicit permission, you've accessed his private belongings. We cannot allow you to leave just yet." Nora took a step back, sizing up the unfamiliar butler and his staff. In her previous life, she had managed the household so efficiently that Travis had never needed to hire help. But now, here they were, a silent testament to her absence. A cold laugh escaped her lips. "You call me Mrs. Luther, which means you're aware that I'm still his legal wife. That implies everything in this house is jointly owned.

I have every right to take what belongs to me." The butler remained unfazed, his expression resolute, as if he answered to no one but Mr. Luther himself. Nora felt a surge of frustration. She didn't want to engage in a pointless argument. Instead, she turned and sank into the couch by the door, crossing her legs with an air of defiance. "You've probably already called Travis, haven't you?" she remarked lightly, trying to mask the tension in her voice. "Fine, I'll wait for him." Ten minutes ticked by slowly, the silence in the room thickening with anticipation.

Finally, she heard footsteps echoing from downstairs. A moment later, Travis's tall figure appeared in the doorway, exuding an air of authority. "Mr. Luther," the butler and staff greeted him in unison, their voices a harmonious chorus of respect. Travis dismissed them with a wave of his hand and stepped inside, his gaze momentarily pausing to take in Nora's outfit. So, she had dressed this way to soften him up, had she? Nora put her phone away, crossed her legs casually, and said, "Your staff claimed I broke in without permission and accused me of theft. But I only took my passport.

Nothing else. What do you think about that?" Travis didn't take a seat; instead, he leaned against the cabinet opposite her, his posture relaxed yet his expression unreadable. "The butler wasn't wrong. Most of the things in this house are mine. His suspicion wasn't entirely unfounded," he replied coolly. Nora had anticipated his response, and she nodded in acknowledgment. "Good. Now that you've clarified that, I feel much better. It means I can freely post about how I was falsely accused of theft and illegally detained for ten minutes." At that, Travis's demeanor shifted.

His relaxed posture stiffened, and he narrowed his eyes. "What did you just say?" Nora lifted her phone and waved it playfully. "Already uploaded. Care to guess how long it'll take before someone calls the police?" His expression darkened, and without a moment's hesitation, he grabbed his phone and dialed his assistant. "Take down any video or news content related to the Luther family. Immediately." Just as he hung up, ready to mock her for her naivety- Nora sneered, "You really are foolish. I only saved the video to my personal file assistant. You didn't even catch that?

And you run Luther Corp?" Travis's face turned a shade darker, and he strode over to her, leaning in close, his eyes swirling with fury. "You played me?" His sudden proximity made her skin crawl, but she held her ground. Without hesitation, she raised her knee and drove it straight into his gut. Unprepared for the blow, Travis let out a pained grunt and staggered back onto the couch, clearly taken aback. Nora stood up quickly, creating distance between them. "Damn right I played you. So what? You Luthers treated me like a joke for years.

I never heard you object then-so why are you upset now?" His jaw clenched tightly, and his gaze flicked to the item in her hand, freezing in place. "What are you holding?" Nora had no intention of revealing her study opportunity. Instead, she waved the passport nonchalantly. "Can't read? It's my passport. Don't worry, Mr. Luther. I'm simply reclaiming my belongings." His expression darkened further. "You're leaving the country?" Nora saw that he hadn't grasped her true intentions, so she played along. "That's right." Travis narrowed his eyes, suspicion creeping into his tone.

"You dragged my mom to the company this morning just to get my attention. I'm here now-happy? Can you stop this nonsense already?" "Are you hearing yourself?" Nora scoffed, incredulous. "Your mother asked me to go. And from the look on her face, it seems she's all for our divorce. Don't project your delusions onto me." Realizing he had jumped to conclusions, Travis's expression turned stormy. "I'm not divorcing you." He had worked tirelessly to elevate the Luther name, and a public divorce scandal would shatter everything he had built. But Nora was unfazed. "That's not your decision to make.

If you drag this out until the legal separation period is over, I'll just file for divorce myself." Travis hadn't anticipated her seriousness. "Nora, don't push your luck. I've been patient, considering the stress you've been under. I've tried to be civil. Don't make me regret that." "Oh, give me a break," Nora shot back coldly. "You've been 'civil'? Please. I am pushing my luck. Go find someone who appreciates your nonsense. Chase your side piece if you want-just don't expect me to sit around playing the loyal wife. It's disgusting." Travis felt a surge of frustration.

Why did every conversation with her circle back to divorce? It was beginning to feel like he was the one desperately clinging to her! At that moment, his phone rang, and he seized the opportunity. "Leave. I'll deal with you later," he grunted. Nora rolled her eyes and headed downstairs, only to be met by a small figure in a school uniform rushing toward her. Quinton. He looked up at her in surprise, but within seconds, that surprise morphed into smug arrogance. "Hmph. Don't think dressing up all pretty is gonna win us back. I've got my sweet, gentle aunt now.

Even if you begged me to call you 'Mom' again, I wouldn't. You abandoned me! You're too late!" Nora stared at the brat before her, feeling a mix of pity and disbelief. Only six years old, and not a shred of childlike innocence remained. Just an entitled little tyrant. Good thing she no longer felt guilty about him. Otherwise, his words might have driven her to the brink. "Who says I want you back? Honestly, not having to be the mom of an ungrateful, rude little monster like you... I've never been happier." "You-!" Quinton's eyes widened, and then his face twisted with rage.

He lunged at her, shoving her hard. "I don't want you either! I don't need a worthless mom like you! Grandma's right-you're useless! You drag Dad down, and now you'll drag me down too. You don't deserve to be my mom! "Get out! This is my house! I don't want you here!" Caught off guard, Nora stumbled, barely managing to grab the edge of the table to steady herself. "Quinton Luther! You stop that right now!" she exclaimed, her voice rising in authority. But he was too worked up to care. He shoved her again, harder, his voice cracking as he screamed, "Get out!

Go away!" Her back already ached from the previous shove, but fury surged within her. In a swift motion, she grabbed his arm, pulled him off her, and smacked his bottom with full force. Conclusion In this tumultuous chapter, Nora grapples with the whirlwind of emotions that accompany her unexpected acceptance into the overseas study program.
