The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1286

Right after Charles walked out of prison, he immediately went to fix his two front teeth, continuing to live a carefree life under the protection of the Iverson family.

Despite his bruised face, it did not stop him from throwing a wild party at the Iverson Manor's courtyard. He invited a bunch of young models over, indulging in an extravagant revelry of wine and pleasure. However, an unfortunate impotence plagued him, allowing him to see but not partake in the pleasures before him.

His frustrations led him to consume an entire pack of aphrodisiacs, which resulted in a severe case of poisoning. His eyes rolled back as he foamed at the mouth, and his body convulsed uncontrollably. The emergency medical personnel rushed him to the hospital in the middle of the night for an emergency gastric lavage.

Upon hearing of his son's distressing situation, a mixture of anger, hatred, and urgency surged within Lance. However, he could only swallow his pride. He secretly sought out every means possible to treat his son's impotence.

With the Thompsons withdrawing their lawsuit, he felt incredibly fortunate. At such a critical moment, even if he harbored thoughts of retaliation, he knew he must keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention. However, the situation was far grimmer for Hunter.

That night, Hunter got beaten to a pulp. Elias also made sure he carried out his threats, having his henchmen stuff hot feces into Hunter's mouth.

This vile act left Hunter unable to stomach any food for days, as everything tasted like excrement to him. He could not stop dry-heaving and nearly vomited bile. He even developed a high fever due to extreme distress.

To Hunter, this humiliating ordeal was worse than death.

Baffled and tormented, Hunter struggled to comprehend who would stoop so low to force him into such a humiliating situation.

Then, one night, as he lay feverish and on the brink of death, a sudden memory struck him.

During the beating, he had faintly noticed a lapel pin on one of the thug's suits. It was like a red bird.

Could it be a Vermilion Bird-the emblem of Savrow's most formidable gang, the Southern Star Syndicate?!

Hunter screamed in horror, instinctively clutching his head as if reacting to a shock, his teeth chattering as his body broke into a cold sweat.

Today, the delegation leaders and top officials from the five major cities gathered in Savrow to discuss important matters with the mayor and several influential council members.

It was an important gathering.

As the wife of a councilman, Astrid started preparing her outfit a week early, choosing a dress with intricate dragon and phoenix embroidery. For someone who was just a councilman's wife, she was preparing as though she wished she could wear a royal robe.

Ever since Astrid married Theodore, she has meticulously supported and managed his career like one might raise a child. She strategized his moves in both political and business circles, built his public image, and helped gather votes. Her hair thinned as she poured her family's money into covering Theodore's debts, helping him rise to his current esteemed status.

Now, with most of their connections solidified, only the upcoming mayoral election stood in their way. If her husband won, he would become the new mayor of Savrow.

This would move her a step closer to her aspiration of being the country's First Lady!

Astrid adjusted her husband's tie and continuously reminded him about what to say and how to behave at the meeting to make a good impression. Theodore, visibly irritated, could not hide his impatience further.

"Enough already. I've heard these things so many times!"

Theodore pushed her hands away, frowning as he tied his own tie and muttering, "You used to be concise. Why do you nag like an old hag now...?"

"You ungrateful man! Now that your career is taking off, you're starting to despise your devoted wife?!"

Astrid snapped back angrily, poking his forehead with her sharp fingernails. "Without my efforts, where would you even be now? Let me be clear, Theodore. Without me, you're nothing!" Theodore shot her a resentful glance and then turned to leave for the bathroom.

Just as he left, his phone on the nightstand suddenly vibrated.

Having secretly learned her husband's phone password, Astrid quickly grabbed the phone and unlocked it.

Upon discovering her husband's intensely flirtatious chats with not just one but multiple lovers, rage surged within her. Her eyes were shooting flames of fury!

Seething, Astrid charged into the bathroom and threw the phone directly at his face, shouting, "Theodore Savoy! How dare you cheat on me?! You've gone too far!"

Startled by her reaction, Theodore looked at her in disbelief. "You snooped through my phone? How could you do that?!"
