The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

In a blink of an eye, the day of the press conference arrived.

By 5:00 p.m., the reporters from different media outlets gathered in the largest hall of the hotel, setting up cameras and adjusting angles, eagerly waiting for Astrid to arrive.

"By the way, I thought it would be Lance or James, but I didn't expect Astrid to be the one stepping up. She's really impressive. Her husband is behind bars. How does she still manage to sleep at night and have the energy for a press conference?"

"Oh, those men of the Iverson family are sly. They're just using Astrid as a shield, letting her take the bullets!"

"Sigh, these rich people really are so inhumane. Astrid is really having a rough time."

"Rough? Councilman Savoy allegedly took in tens of millions of dollars in bribes. That's certainly enough to keep him behind bars for good. Do you really think none of that cash found its way into her hands? It's every person for themselves when trouble hits!"

At 7:00 p.m., Astrid approached the stage with a solemn expression, clad in black attire and bowing her head as she faced a cluster of microphones.

The bright camera flashes highlighted her tired face as she bowed deeply to the countless reporters.
