All Chapters of The Disabled Ex-Wife's Revenge: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Clara’s POVI stood near the tall balcony windows of my penthouse, staring down at the glowing streetlights.It was well past ten o'clock at night. The bottle of champagne I had opened earlier with Vanessa sat empty on the glass coffee table, alongside the half eaten box of luxury macaroons. Vanessa had already packed her things and left over an hour ago, leaving me alone in the vast, quiet apartment.I paced back and forth across the soft rug, clutching my main smartphone in my right hand.“Why hasn't he called me back yet?” I muttered under my breath, my thumb tapping nervously against the polished casing.Ever since our phone conversation earlier today—the glorious call where Julian had called me sweetheart and promised he was coming straight back home to me—I had been floating on cloud nine. I had spent hours looking through bridal magazines, planning our luxury wedding in Milan, and celebrating my clear victory over Nora.Yet, as the hours ticked by into the late night, a subtle

Nora’s POV“Is the black briefcase completely locked?” I asked Maya, adjusting the golden cuff of my silk evening gown as we stood inside the private side lounge.“Double locked,” Maya replied, pressing her thumb against the heavy brass latches until a sharp click echoed through the quiet room. “The keys are inside my clutch bag, and the certified files from Paris are resting safely inside. Nobody gets their hands on these documents until we step into the main executive hall.”I took a deep breath, looking at my reflection in the wall mirror. The soft lighting highlighted the elegant lines of my gown, but more than that, it reflected a calm strength in my eyes that had taken three long years to rebuild.A quiet knock sounded at the lounge door. Maya walked over to open it, revealing Marcus Hayes standing in the corridor.“The VIP guests have started arriving in the main ballroom,” Marcus said in his smooth, reassuring voice. He stepped inside, his dark eyes fixing on me with quiet res

Nora’s POV“Did you see the way Marcus looked at you when he pulled out your chair?” Maya whispered, leaning close to my ear as the master of ceremonies continued introducing the Heritage Board members on stage.I took a small sip of ice water, trying to keep a neutral expression on my face while keeping my eyes fixed on the presentation slides. “Maya, please behave. We are sitting at the main VIP table surrounded by senior executives and news cameras.”“I am behaving!” Maya whispered back, a bright, playful smirk dancing across her lips. “I am just stating facts. Marcus Hayes is a billionaire CEO, but around you, he acts like a protective knight. Did you see how he stood between you and Julian near the entrance? He didn't even say a single rude word to Julian, but his posture alone made Julian freeze on the spot!”I let out a soft, silent breath, looking down at my hands in my lap. I could not deny what Maya was saying. Ever since I stepped foot in London, Marcus had been nothing but

Clara’s POV“You listen to me very carefully right now!” I shrieked into my secondary phone, my hands trembling violently as I paced across the shattered glass fragments on my living room floor.“Miss Clara, I already told you that our contract is terminated,” the spy agency director replied over the line, his tone completely flat and unbothered. “We are shutting down our London communications line.”“I do not care what line you are shutting down!” I screamed, my voice high pitched and cracking with pure desperation. “You do not get to hang up on me when I am paying your salary! You and your men are going to do your jobs, or I will personally make sure every single one of you ends up behind bars!”On the other end of the line, the director let out a dry, mocking laugh that made my stomach twist into a tight knot.“Behind bars, Miss Clara?” the director scoffed softly. “You are currently trapped under a strict travel hold placed on your passport by Julian Vance. You have Scotland Yard

Nora’s POVThe loud noise of everyone clapping inside the big hall sounded so good to my ears.I stood right beside the huge physical model of our project on the stage. For twenty minutes straight, I stood in front of the board members, Professor Vance, top architects, and all the news reporters. I explained every single detail of our building design without making a single mistake.I talked about how strong the foundation was, how we used good steel, and how the special glass panels would save energy.When I finished talking and bowed my head, Professor Vance stood up first and clapped for me with a huge smile on his face.I slowly walked down the small stairs from the stage, holding my presentation clicker. Maya ran to meet me near the side entrance, her face bright with excitement as she handed me a cold glass of water.“Nora, you were so amazing!” Maya shouted softly, hugging me tightly. “Did you see Julian face while you were speaking? He looked like a statue! He couldn't believe
