What gives you the right to judge me?" A flicker of anger ignited in Travis's eyes, transforming his demeanor. His voice dropped to a chilling whisper, sharp enough to cut through the tension that hung in the air.

"Nora, you're not the only one who regrets this marriage. But Quinton is innocent in all of this. Whether we divorce or not, you will always be his mother. You need to focus on what's best for him." Nora's gaze locked onto his, her eyes as cold and unyielding as ice. "Travis, you're nothing but a coward. If you felt so strongly about this, why didn't you have the guts to ask for the divorce yourself? Instead, you dumped it all on me, made me the villain in this story, and now you think you can stand there and lecture me?

It's pathetic." His expression darkened, an ominous storm cloud gathering on his face, his entire presence cloaked in a palpable gloom. "Nora," he said, his voice low and gravelly, "be careful. Don't push me." She let out a short, scornful laugh, the sound harsh and biting. "You're the one who chose to come here. If you're so miserable, then leave. No one is stopping you." "Unbelievable!" Travis had reached his breaking point. He spun on his heel, storming out of the room with a decisive finality. Nora was a tempest of emotions, her anger boiling just beneath the surface.

With a forceful slam, she shut the door and locked it, her fingers flying to her phone as she messaged Jodi and Oliver in their group chat, instructing them to use the keypad code to enter. It had been ages since she had felt such rage. If only Travis hadn't exited so swiftly, she would have relished the opportunity to stomp on his foot and physically eject him herself. After downing two large gulps of water, she felt her heartbeat gradually return to a more manageable pace. Then, a knock echoed through the silence of the room.

Assuming it was her afternoon appointment, she forced a polite smile onto her lips. But that smile froze instantly when she opened the door to find an unexpected visitor. "Miss Yates, I apologize for the interruption. I'm here to deliver a message from Mr. Luther," Henry said quickly, his eyes darting to her icy expression, offering a conciliatory smile in an attempt to ease the tension. Nora had no intention of making things difficult for him. With a cool demeanor, she opened the door wider and said, "Please, go ahead." He stepped inside, extending a business card toward her.

When she didn't immediately take it, he placed it carefully on the table before continuing, "Mr. Luther mentioned that this cleaning job is too strenuous for you. He wanted to see if you'd consider working at the Luther Group instead-it would be much less demanding." The anger she had just managed to suppress flared back to life, hotter than before. "Take your card back, and tell your Mr. Luther to mind his own business. If he doesn't, I won't be as courteous next time." She had erased the incriminating photos before, but they could still be recovered.

If he dared to push her again, she would ensure that no one involved enjoyed a moment of peace. Realizing she had no intention of complying, Henry made a hasty exit. Back downstairs, he climbed into the car where Travis sat, a rare look of fatigue etched across his face as he rubbed his brow. "How did it go?" Travis inquired, his dark eyes lifting to meet Henry's. "She..." Henry paused, carefully selecting his words, "she refused. And she made it clear that you should stay out of her affairs or she won't hold back." Travis let out a cold snort, incredulous.

A cleaning lady with this much attitude? Fine. He would see how long her pride could withstand the pressure. That afternoon, Nora successfully closed ten custom gown orders in a row. A quick mental calculation revealed that the profits would be substantial. So, that evening, she decided to treat Jodi and Oliver to dinner at a trendy restaurant in the heart of the city. Securing a table here was no small feat-had she not made a reservation in advance, they would have been turned away at the door.

The three of them happily made their way to their private room, laughter and excitement buzzing between them. As they navigated through the bustling main dining area, Nora's gaze caught sight of a familiar figure at a window table-Lily, surrounded by a group of people she didn't recognize. Suppressing a groan of annoyance, she tugged Jodi and Oliver along at a quicker pace, eager to avoid any unwelcome encounters. But it was too late; Lily had already spotted them. Had she seen that correctly?

The "Stardust" designer, who had just been interviewed by reporters earlier that day-Jodi-was sitting with Nora? Conclusion In the aftermath of the confrontation with Travis, Nora found herself wrestling with a whirlwind of emotions, her anger morphing into a fierce resolve. The exchange had stripped away any remaining illusions about their marriage, leaving her standing at a crossroads, both vulnerable and empowered. As she locked the door behind him, a sense of finality washed over her; the battle lines had been drawn, and she was determined to reclaim her narrative.

With each successful gown order she closed, she felt a spark of her old self reigniting, a reminder that her worth was not defined by her tumultuous relationship but by her talent and resilience. Dinner with Jodi and Oliver became a celebration of her independence, a moment to reconnect with the joy that had been overshadowed by her struggles. However, the unexpected sighting of Lily at the restaurant served as a stark reminder that the world was still watching, and the complexities of her life were far from resolved.

The chance encounter ignited a mixture of anxiety and anticipation within her; she was no longer just a woman grappling with personal demons but a figure poised on the brink of recognition in the fashion world. As laughter echoed around her table, Nora realized that while the shadows of her past loomed large, they could not extinguish the light of her ambition. With her friends by her side and a newfound determination swelling within her, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Luther adds another layer of complexity to her already tumultuous life, leaving Nora to grapple with the implications of her choices. Will she stand her ground against the pressure from Travis and the Luther Group, or will she find herself cornered into a situation she cannot control? As Nora navigates her evening out with Jodi and Oliver, the stakes are raised when she unexpectedly encounters Lily, a figure from her past who could complicate her already precarious position.
