[Hello, Ms. Somerset. Is it convenient to talk right now?]
Seraphina thought for a moment. Now wasn't the time to settle the score with Lyra. Her top priority was finalizing the divorce.
She typed a quick reply. [Hello, Mr. Zimmerman.]
Mr. Zimmerman remained strictly professional. [Ms. Somerset, is all the evidence ready? Can we officially initiate the divorce proceedings?]
Seraphina's fingers tapped the screen lightly. Her expression remained completely calm, her mindset steady. [Mr. Zimmerman, could I consult you on one more thing?]
[Of course, go ahead.]
[If a couple has been separated for a full three years, according to current laws, can it be legally determined that the relationship has irrevocably broken down to file for divorce directly?]
Barely two seconds later, Mr. Zimmerman sent a crisp, structured reply. [Absolutely. The law explicitly states that if a couple is separated for two years due to irreconcilable differences, it meets the statutory requirements for divorce, and you can file a lawsuit directly. However, the litigation process is complex and lengthy, and the other party can easily drag it out. A mutually agreed-upon divorce is much faster and carries lower risk.]
Seraphina looked down at the text, her eyes devoid of emotion, and continued typing calmly. [What if we already signed a voluntary divorce agreement in advance?]
[Mr. Zimmerman: That's the best-case scenario! Having a divorce agreement signed by both parties saves a tremendous amount of trouble. Whenever you have time, send me the original document. I'll review it for you, and if there are no issues, you can proceed directly to finalize the divorce.]
Seraphina: [I don't have the original document with me right now. Once I retrieve it, I'll contact you immediately.]
[Mr. Zimmerman: No problem. I'm on standby and will adjust to your schedule.]
Concluding the conversation with the lawyer, Seraphina quietly closed the private chat.
The lighting in the police station dorm was soft and peaceful. She handed the phone back to the female officer.
The officer smiled as she took it. "I thought you were going to make a call."
Seraphina replied softly, "I no longer have anyone left to call."
The officer let out a long sigh, feeling a deep sense of sympathy for her. Nominally, Seraphina was Mrs. Prescott, and outsiders assumed she lived a life of lavish luxury.
