Astrid was already drunk, and her legs gave way. The next second, she copsed into an awkward


    squat, her skirt riding up in an embarrassing disy. The butler immediately looked away, worried that


    he might get an eye infection from what he saw.


    Just then, a ssh of grimy yellow liquid came pouring down from above, soaking Astridpletely


    from head to toe and sending a chill down her spine. Soon after, a revolting smell filled the air. She


    lifted her arm to sniff it and almost vomited from the strong odor. It was enough to make her feel


    queasy! What was that smell?! It was so pungent and unpleasant that it made her feel sick to her


    stomach.


    Astrid howled angrily at the sky. "Who?! Who did this? Who?!"


    "Heh, who asked you to keep causing a scene here and ruining the peace?" Sasha slightly lifted her


    chin and confidently strolled out of the main gate. "Look, even the heavens find you annoying, tossing


    water to wake you up. Shut your mouth and go back to where you belong."


    "It was you! You threw it on me!" Astrid red furiously, her teeth chattering from the cold wind.


    "How can you be so sure it was me? Rain falls from the sky, so why can''t it rain sewage? Some people


    seem to attract bad luck on their own. Maybe one day, they''ll get struck by lightning while strolling down


    the street."


    Sasha liked sauerkraut and kept jars of it in the pantry. The fermented sauerkraut water fromst year


    finally came in handy. At first, she thought about using actual sewage to throw on Astrid, but since it


    was her own courtyard and not worth messing up for someone so insignificant, she held back.


    "Sewage... Sewage water?! Ugh..." Astrid went pale and covered her chest as she uncontrobly


    gagged.


    "You know exactly what you did. We haven''t called you out on it, but you should have just stayed quiet


    instead of making a scene here. Chairman Thompson doesn''t even want to see your father anymore,


    let alone you. So, just go away and don''t make a bigger fool of yourself." Sasha pinched her nose in


    disgust as she spoke.


    Astrid''s heart sank as she realized she was about to leave empty-handed. Frustrated and


    embarrassed, she angrily spat on the ground before reluctantly departing from Thompson''s ce,


    looking unkempt and smelling unpleasant.


    "No wonder..."


    Having listened to M''s story, Wyatt had a sudden realization. "I was curious why the Iverson family


    seemed secure, and then suddenly Lance''s son-inw became the focus of the investigation. So, was


    Justin behind all this?"


    Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    "Yeah, Justin orchestrated it all. It was his way of seeking revenge for Amelia and showing the Iverson


    family that none of our children should be messed with."


    Wyatt''s expression rxed as he fell silent, lost in thought.


    M watched his face closely and felt a small shift in his attitude toward Justin.


    This was the little task that Be had left her over the phone the day before yesterday. Be had asked


    her to find an opportunity to talk to Wyatt about the situation behind Theodore''s arrest and the


    problems the Iverson family was dealing with, crediting it all to Justin, in hopes of improving his image.


    Initially, M was unsure how to start this conversation. Luckily, Astrid''s unexpected visit tonight


    provided just the right material for her to leverage.


    "Hmm... Wait a minute."


    Wyatt''s brows furrowed again. "But isn''t it a bit off? Axel was the one who made the arrest. If everything


    was Justin''s setup, how did Axel end up involved? It would make sense if Be arranged it."
