The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1296

Lance furrowed his brows, feeling very worried. "Who collected such detailed evidence? Who has the ability to do it without anyone noticing? Who is capable of all this?!"

Charles complained angrily. "Isn't it obvious? It must be the Solloway family. They've always had a grudge against that idiot, Theodore. With the election coming up, they are bound to go all out against their opponents!"

"No, it's not the Solloway family."

James sounded confident as he said, "As far as I know, the Solloway family doesn't have the ability for something like this. Even if they had some evidence, they wouldn't have exposed it during such an important meeting today. It wouldn't benefit them and could end up causing trouble for their superiors."

All of a sudden, he had an epiphany. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "Why does this sneaky and ruthless move remind me so much of something Bella would do?"

Lance was surprised. "Bella?! Could it actually be her doing?!"

"Big brother, do you have any evidence?" Christopher had a menacing glare in his eyes. "You're not saying all this just because of the argument with Bella about Charles at the Thompson's house, right? You're the respected CEO of Iverson Group. Is that all you can come up with?"

"My suspicions aren't groundless. After what happened with Charles, our family has been in a feud with the Thompson family. Remember what Bella said back then? Given her vengeful nature, she's bound to strike back at us. And now, here it is."

James squinted and gave him a cold stare. "Christopher, at this point you're not still fantasizing about becoming the son-in-law of the Thompson family, are you? Don't you have bigger ambitions? The Thompson family is trampling over us, and it was Bella's brother, Axel, who led the people to arrest Theodore."

He continued, "Right after the truth came out, Axel immediately brought people over. Tell me, how could there be such a coincidence?"

Christopher was speechless and clenched his fists in anger.

"Even if Bella was going to strike, why would she go after Theodore?" Charles asked, when a sudden realization sent a chill down his spine. He and Astrid had plotted against Amelia. Could Theodore just be a decoy? Was Astrid actually Bella's real target?!

"Dad! Big Brother!"

At that moment, Astrid burst into the room, sobbing uncontrollably, her make-up completely ruined. "Theodore has made so many sacrifices over the years for the Iverson family. We can't just leave him out to dry like this!"

"You have the nerve to come here crying?! Your husband has completely disgraced me!" Lance stood up angrily and pointed at his daughter while clenching his jaw. "Theodore is finished. If you have any sense left, you'll cut ties with the Savoy family right away! If you insist on being stubborn, I'll pretend like I've never had such a stupid daughter! Don't drag your own family down with you!"

Astrid stood frozen, holding in her frustrations and not daring to utter a single word.

"Astrid, the prosecution will summon you in the next few days. You need to be prepared." James stepped forward and solemnly placed his hands on her shoulders. "I will also arrange a press conference for you as soon as possible. First, you need to demonstrate your stance and apologize for Theodore's actions. You need to present yourself as someone who values justice over family connections. Second, use this chance to cut ties with him and assert that his actions have nothing to do with you. You also need to stand up for the Iverson family and do everything possible to salvage our family's reputation." Astrid's mind was in chaos, so she could only follow whatever James said.

Christopher remained silent, his glasses reflecting a sinister light. He certainly hated these corrupt individuals, but he also didn't want to see the Iverson Group get into trouble. Otherwise, there would be nothing left for him to inherit.

Let James clean up this mess, then. Christopher only wanted to reap the benefits.
