The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

In the largest conference hall of the Central Hall, the atmosphere was quite solemn, filled with high-ranking officials and industry leaders from Savrow and across the nation.

Mayor Solloway was giving a speech at the conference.

Important figures like council members and business representatives sat at the front, while family members like Astrid could only find seats at the back.

Being the sole heiress of the Iverson family, Astrid had a significant standing in the circles of elite socialites. However, in the male-dominated world of politics, it was a different realm entirely. She was merely Theodore's spouse, without much right to speak.

Naturally, someone with her prominent and assertive personality was not happy about this.

She was the one who had meticulously crafted her husband's ascent to his current prestigious position. Without the backing of the Iverson family, the support from her father, and her careful grooming, Theodore's rise would have been impossible.

The more Astrid thought about it, the prouder she felt. Her previous sour mood, caused by rival mistresses, dissipated like smoke.

She vowed to one day sit at the front, just like the mayor's wife, Mrs. Solloway.

With this in mind, Astrid sat up straight, almost haughtily, as if she were looking down at others.
