Semua Bab She Moved On and Glowed Up — Now Her Ex-Husband and Son Want Her Forgiveness: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“You sure want to keep throwing tantrums? Let’s see if you still dare!”Quinton had never been hit in his life—let alone spanked.Humiliated and furious, he tried to twist away and bit at Nora’s arm.But she was quicker. Dodging his teeth, she yanked him back and smacked his bottom again. Harder this time. She didn’t bother with words anymore—just strike after strike.“Ahhh! You’re gonna kill me! Daddy! Help!”Upstairs, Travis was on a call when he heard the commotion. He hung up immediately and rushed down.What he saw made his heart drop—Nora was spanking their son, and the butler and maids all stood frozen, too stunned to intervene. No one had ever seen Mrs. Luther like this before.“Nora! That’s enough!”Travis stormed over and snatched Quinton into his arms. His face was soaked in tears. Without even asking what happened, Travis turned on her.“What the hell are you doing? He’s just six! Why are you taking things out on a child?“If you’ve got a problem with me, say it.

Everyone turned to look as a young woman walked calmly through the crowd.She was simply dressed, slender, and carried herself with quiet confidence.“You’re finally here, Designer Yates!” The store owner looked like she had just seen her savior. “You heard what they said, right? Do you really have proof? This boutique is everything to me. You have to help me protect it!”Nora gave her a light smile. “Don’t worry. We’re not losing anything today.”The reporters perked up at the word “designer” and immediately swarmed Nora.“So you’re the one who designed this ombré gown? How do you explain its striking similarity to a foreign brand’s piece?”“Your filing date is just one day apart from theirs. Isn’t that a little too convenient?”“The ombré series is well-known in Wellford City and has been selling well. Now that a customer’s accusing you of plagiarism, how do you expect buyers to trust you again?”“You said you have evidence. Can we see it?”Dozens of cameras pointed at her,

When Nora reached the base of her apartment, she suddenly remembered she was out of groceries. She made a quick detour to the supermarket.After checking out, she walked out with two large shopping bags in hand when her phone started buzzing nonstop inside her purse.She stopped in her tracks and pulled it out. It was Quinton calling. Without a second thought, she shoved the phone back into her bag.By the time she got home, she already had five missed calls.Three from Quinton, and two from the Luther family landline.She had completely forgotten to block that little ingrate’s number. Perfect. Time to fix that now.Just as she was about to do it, Quinton’s call came in again—except this time, she accidentally picked it up.“Nora, why didn’t you pick Quinton up from preschool this afternoon? Do you have any idea he was bullied today?”Travis’s cold, accusing voice came through the line. It made Nora laugh.“Didn’t you go get him yourself? Then what do you need me for? And if he

When Nora got the call from the Yates family, she already had a pretty good idea of what they wanted—but she still went.The Yateses weren’t as powerful as the Luthers, but they still lived in a sprawling, opulent estate in one of the city’s most expensive neighborhoods.Not that any of that wealth had anything to do with her.Nora had been switched at birth. She wasn’t brought back to the Yates family until she was eighteen. Before that, she survived by scavenging scrap to sell.In her last life, when her biological parents found her, they walked into a home piled high with cardboard and bottles.And even though they tried to hide it, she could see the disgust in their eyes.In their minds, Nora—no matter how they spun it—would never measure up to Lily, the daughter they had lovingly raised from birth.Even though Nora was their real daughter by blood.So she became the family’s dirty little secret. Something they tried to bury.When she married Travis Luther, no one in Wellfor

Nora had already guessed the Yates family would try to pressure her into giving up the opportunity for Lily. But that didn’t mean she was just going to hand it over without a fight.“You keep saying you’re my biological parents,” she said coldly, “but from the day I stepped into this house, you’ve barely acknowledged me. Most of the time, you just looked at me like I was a burden. There’s never been a trace of real affection between us. And now you’re pushing me aside for your adopted daughter? Aren’t you even a little worried about how that would look if people found out?”David’s face twisted in rage. “Don’t you dare call Lily adopted! She’s your sister—your blood! You’re the one being hypersensitive and petty. And you still have the nerve to accuse us of favoritism?”Anne jumped in, her voice sharp with fury. “You’ve always been jealous of Lily, we let it slide. You’ve blamed her for things she didn’t do, and we forgave you for that too. But all our patience and understanding hav
