Laura Yates’ response came faster than Florence Fuller expected; that evening, Lily Hart called her back.
"Ms. Yates said she’s made up her mind; she wants a divorce."
"Then first contact a top-notch lawyer in Cloudsea, one highly respected in the field. Discuss drafting a divorce agreement with them and try to secure as much rightful property as possible for her."
Lily Hart replied, "But it might be hard to fight for Ms. Yates’ side. If the grounds for divorce are a breakdown of relationship, we’ll need to collect evidence of his infidelity, and James has not admitted to anything yet."
