Upon hearing that, Astrid immediately grasped the situation.

Mrs. Lee, renowned in the elite circles of Savrow, was famous for her fortune-telling and face-reading services, even attracting wealthy individuals from other regions seeking her advice.

However, Mrs. Lee was involved in some questionable activities behind the scenes. She was also willing to offer her services to high-ranking officials and dignitaries for the right price. "Alright, I understand where you're getting at. Dad has always been superstitious, often consulting fortune-tellers every now and then. In that case, I'll arrange for Dad to meet Mrs. Lee in the next few days. He'll definitely be willing to see her."

Astrid schemed, "When the time comes, I'll discreetly bribe Mrs. Lee and persuade her to speak favorably of you. I'll tell her to mention that your astrological compatibility with Amelia is better than Christopher's. It bodes well for the Iversons' fortune. On the other hand, if Amelia ends up with Christopher, it will bring disaster to our family. Dad is deeply superstitious, so once he hears this, he'll definitely stop considering Christopher and instead focus on arranging a marriage between you and the girl."

"That would be great! Thank you so much, Astrid," Charles exclaimed excitedly, tightly holding his sister's hand in gratitude.

"Charles, we share the same mother and grew up together. Mom passed away early, and Dad married that woman who later betrayed him, giving birth to a child who's now fighting for our inheritance. We must stand united against outsiders. If I'm not on your side, whose side would I be on?" Astrid's words came straight from her heart.

Astrid was already married. Her husband was involved in politics. Over the past few years, she faced hardships due to conflicts with her in-laws, often using her own funds to support her husband's endeavors covertly while maintaining the facade of a high-society lady.
