The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge novel Chapter 1304

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.

The journalists started firing tough questions.

“Ms. Iverson! The sudden arrest of Councilman Savoy has shocked the nation! After all, he was a leading candidate in the Savrow mayoral election. Were you aware of his actions?”

“I didn’t know...”

Astrid portrayed herself as an innocent, helpless woman with tears in her eyes and a face full of sorrow.

“I’m just an ordinary housewife. I took care of my husband and children every day without getting involved in his work. I didn’t know anything about his private affairs or any bribes he might have received! I come from the Iverson Group, one of the four big families, so there’s no way I’d compromise my conscience for such petty sums and ruin my reputation!”

“Do you really have no knowledge about what Councilman Savoy did?”

Before she could complete her sentence, a sudden, piercing screech echoed throughout the room.

Then, a clear recording began to play over the speakers.

——“Mrs. Lee, the girls you’ve set me up with lately are really attractive, and the big bosses are very satisfied. Plus, their style seems to be a perfect match for our guests, bringing in good luck. You know what these powerful and influential people are like. They take this stuff seriously. It’s no wonder your business is doing so well.”

—— “Haha, my business is doing great, all thanks to Ms. Iverson’s loyal support over the years! You have brought in a lot of wealthy clients who have been really generous.”

—— “It’s a win-win situation. Don’t forget to send me any eligible ladies you know of. We can always discuss the price.”

The recording caused a commotion among the audience, their angry stares piercing Astrid like sharp thorns, causing her deep distress.

Who would have imagined that a woman of such elevated status and elegance—a lady from a prestigious family—would be linked to prostitution?
