---- Chapter 2501 Valerie sighed in boredom. "You''re really no fun, you know that? Dad''s body can barely handle anything these days, and yet you''re still so loyal. I honestly don''t know how you keep yourself from exploding." ine''s face turned red. "Watch your mouth. Let''s talk about something serious now. Andrew saw you naked and even touched your chest. That''s not a small matter. Finnegan''s already back and talking privately with Mr. Vazquez. He''ll be home soon." She continued, "Valerie, what exactly do you want? If you tell him everything, Finnegan will make sure you get justice.
No matter the reason, Andrew definitely crossed the line. You''re not just anyone... You''re a woman and the heiress of our family. Even though Andrew earned our partnership, we still have every right to hold him ountable." Valerie''s expression shifted, her mood flickering between anger and restraint. She suddenly clenched her fist. "If it were up to me, I''d tear him apart piece by piece. That bastard has way too many women orbiting around him, and he''s absolutely shameless. You probably don''t know this, but even Luna has a thing for him." ine''s eyes widened. "Luna? Mr. Turman''s student?
The young ---- general from the military? She''s brilliant, and not to mention, stunningly beautiful. With her looks and status, she could easily marry into a noble family or even the royalty. I never thought she''d fall for Andrew." Valerie smirked. "Falling for him? Not yet. That idiot Andrew probably has no clue how she feels. But I know Luna too well. She''s the kind of woman who keeps everything bottled up and never says what she really feels." She added, "I used to think Andrew wasn''t worth my attention, but now I''ve changed my mind.
I''ll make him fall for me first, deeply andpletely, just so I can torture Luna by making her jealous and miserable. That''ll be fun. "But that''s just the bonus. Once Andrew''s head over heels for me, I''ll dump him. That bastard needs to know what it feels like to be slowly cut to pieces emotionally, not physically." ine shook her head. "I''m warning you, don''t y with fire. You won''t win if you y games with Andrew. Valerie, focus on improving your skills and securing a good alliance. That''s the only real future for a woman like you.
Everything else is just a waste of time." Valerie folded her arms and said coolly, "You don''t have to worry about me. As for what happened between me and Andrew, don''t tell Dad. If he finds out, he''ll probably storm over there and kill him. ---- ine let out a long sigh. "Fine. Handle it your way. I can''t control you anymore, just don''t cause a disaster." As soon as ine left, Valerie''s mind reyed the image of Andrew leaning in to kiss Rowan. Her lips curled into a sharp, hateful smile. She hissed, "Bastard. Eating what''s on your te while eyeing someone else''s.
Andrew, if you''d just been a little gentler with me, maybe I wouldn''t hate you this much. Just wait. I''ll win your heart first. The game''s only just begun."<style>
