The Rejected Luna (Avery and Kaden) novel Chapter 169

**Chapter 169**

I found myself in a whirlwind of uncertainty, unsure if Steven would grant me any reprieve. But one thing was crystal clear: Antonia was not going to escape my wrath at the birthday party.

With a decisive click, I ended the call with her and glanced at my phone, where a message from Rachel awaited me. She had sent over the contact details for a lawyer named Noah Brooks, proclaiming him to be a significant player in the legal world.

A rush of exhilaration surged through me. I swiftly saved his number, my mind racing as I muttered his name, letting it roll off my tongue.

“Noah…”

In my previous existence, my focus had been almost exclusively on Steven, rarely sparing a thought for other men. Yet, the surname Brooks struck a chord in my memory, reminding me of Steven’s formidable rival—a man who had been his adversary since childhood.

Both hailed from affluent families, deeply entrenched in the realms of business and politics. However, the Brooks family had a notorious reputation that set them apart from the Lancasters. While the Lancasters boasted a single heir for each generation, the Brooks were a different breed entirely. Their patriarch had been infamous for his numerous affairs, leaving behind a legacy filled with mistresses and illegitimate offspring. They were practically a dynasty unto themselves.

Could it be mere coincidence that Rachel had unearthed a lawyer from the very family that had been a thorn in Steven’s side? In the grand scheme of things, it mattered little to me. As long as Noah could facilitate my divorce, his lineage was irrelevant.

To my surprise, Noah responded promptly. I recounted the details of my situation, echoing the same narrative I had shared with the other lawyers, making sure to stress Steven’s name. I half-expected him to recoil in fear, just like the others had.

Instead, his reply was refreshingly straightforward: “Ms. Jones, I’m interested. I’m a bit busy today, but would you be available to meet tomorrow to discuss the details?”

A wave of elation washed over me, igniting a spark of hope that had long been extinguished. I leapt to my feet, enthusiasm bubbling within me. “Tomorrow is absolutely perfect. I’m free at any time.”

Finally, I had found someone who wasn’t daunted by wealth and influence! As long as I could secure this divorce, my schedule was wide open.

Hah! I could almost hear Steven’s disbelief echoing in my mind—could he ever have imagined that someone would dare to take on his divorce case?

Noah suggested, “Let’s do lunch tomorrow. We can discuss everything while we eat.”

“Sounds good,” I replied, my heart racing. After we set a time, a wave of happiness swept over me. I sprang out of bed, humming a cheerful tune as I prepared for the day, even taking extra care with my appearance. A smile danced on my lips, fueled by the prospect of liberation.
