A moment of silence stretched between them.
Then, the lead lawyer smirked—just slightly.
"Oh, we are not mistaken."
His voice remained even, unwavering.
"If I'm not mistaken… this is the divorce case of Valentina Callum and Raymond, correct?"
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire room fell silent.
At that moment, Valentina's father felt his chest tighten.
He couldn't believe what he just heard.
Immediately his eyes darted between the lawyers from Lancaster & Hawthorne Associates, searching for even the slightest hint that this was a joke. But their cold, unwavering expressions confirmed the worst.
"W-what?" he stammered, his voice lacking its usual authority.
He thought Raymond was nothing but a pathetic fool, someone easily discarded—so how in the world did he manage to bring in the most powerful law firm in the country?
His lawyer, on the other hand, was in far worse shape.
