Mr. Brooks's voice came through almost immediately.
"Evelyn? I'm very sorry, but divorce cases aren't my area of expertise. I'm afraid I won't be able to assist you."
Disappointment surged through me, yet before I could let it settle, Mr. Brooks's next words rekindled a spark of hope.
"However, I can refer you to someone else. His name is Alex Mercer. He's the top divorce attorney at our firm, with extensive experience and a stellar success rate. I'll forward his contact details to your email shortly."
I let out a long breath, relief washing over me.
"Thank you, Mr. Brooks."
Even before reaching the hotel, impatience pricked at me. I pulled out my phone and drafted an email to Alex Mercer, asking for a meeting to discuss my situation.
To my surprise, his reply arrived almost instant
