The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1292

Axel’s eyes narrowed sharply. “I’m here under official orders. The prosecutor's office has authorized the arrest of Councilman Savoy for interrogation. Please do not interfere with the execution of judicial duties!”

“We haven’t been notified of any such order. We know only to keep unauthorized individuals out. None of them shall set foot in here!” The bodyguard responded with growing sternness.

Axel’s lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze icy. “Are you aware that you’re already breaking the law?”

Unintimidated and confident in their powerful backing, the bodyguards disregarded Axel.

“Heh, given how you’re dressed, you don’t look like you’re officially dispatched. If you’re so concerned about us making an arrest, it suggests only one thing. You’re with the Iverson Group.” Axel sneered.

The bodyguard became visibly flustered.

Before stepping in, Lance Iverson had clearly instructed them not to mention the Iverson name, no matter what.

Their job was to delay anyone from entering to allow the Iversons more time to manage the situation. If the authorities were to take Theodore into custody, it would mean a definite and irreversible downfall for him.

Therefore, they stubbornly insisted, “No! We’re not from the Iverson Group! We’re here to maintain order at this venue on behalf of Mayor Solloway!”

“Oh? Are you with Mayor Solloway? Why don’t I recognize any of you then?”

Suddenly, a calm voice, followed by footsteps, drew everyone’s attention.

The person who came was none other than the Chief Secretary from Mayor Solloway’s office, followed by a group of personnel from the Solloway family.

The Iverson family’s bodyguards were visibly mortified and embarrassed.

“You really have some nerve, huh? How dare you impersonate being an employee of the Solloway family right under Mayor Solloway’s watch and attempt to frame him?”

The secretary scolded them sternly but then turned to Axel with a pleasant smile. “Prosecutor Thompson, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to detain these individuals who are obstructing official duties under unknown orders, so we can thoroughly interrogate them and clear Mr. Mayor’s name.”

Axel nodded lightly. “I’ll follow through on this matter.”

“That’s good to hear. It’s important to note that our mayor wholeheartedly backs organizational directives and will actively support and cooperate with the efforts of the prosecutorial staff.” The secretary added, skillfully boosting his boss’s image.
