---- Chapter 2495 Valerie had always been dazzling and fierce, but she had never been this cold-blooded and determined. Yet for Andrew, she seemed like apletely different person. Luna felt an ache she could not quite describe. What was this supposed to be? She and Andrew had not even developed anything real yet, and now her colleague, her rival, had suddenly stepped in. From the looks of it, Valerie had gotten much further than she ever had, and that was something Luna just could not ept. It was not that she could not ept losing to Valerie.<fne3e2> The source of th?s content is find·novel</fne3e2>
What she could not ept was that she had known Andrew first. She was the one who had met him early on, so why was Valerie the one who got to start something with him? "Come back. Andrew isn''t dead. Why do you care so much about whether he''s alive or not? Looks like you''ve fallen for him, haven''t you?" Valerie froze. Then, she quickly spun around, "What did you say? He''s not dead? Is he really okay?" Luna''s heart sank slowly as she answered, "Yeah, he''s alive. You ---- must be thrilled to hear that. I lied to you earlier. I didn''t expect you to react that strongly.
You made it seem like you two were already dating or something. It''s pretty shocking, honestly." Valerie wiped her tears away and said coldly, "Whatever''s between me and him is none of your business. Since he''s fine, I''ll be going now." A sudden re of anger surged through Luna''s chest. "Valerie, wait!" Valerie turned, frowning as she saw Luna striding toward her. Something about Luna''s expression felt off. She frowned and asked, "What''s wrong with you? I''m in no mood to fight today, so don''t push me." Luna''s tone was icy. "I don''t want to fight you, and I don''t need to.
I just want to ask you one thing... What exactly is your rtionship with Andrew? Did he already ept you?" Valerie gave a mockingugh. "Oh, so that''s what this is about. Dear Luna, something''s really off with you. Oh, I get it now. These questions... they matter to you, don''t they? You want to know if Andrew and I ever did anything, right? Because you care. Because that man''s already in your heart, isn''t he?" Luna froze, caught off guard by the question. For once, she could not speak. ---- Seeing her at a loss, Valerie let out a coldugh. "I knew it. Luna, you''ve fallen for him.
Since that''s the case, I''ll be blunt with you. I''m not going to let you two end up together. We''re rivals, aren''t we? Rivals in the military, rivals in martial skill... The two'' untouchable beauties'' of the department. You can''t stand me, and I can''t bow to you. And now, we''re tangled up over the same man." She hissed, "So tell me, why should I let you have your way? Forget about Andrew, Luna. That bastard''s mine."<style>
