Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2438

Despite Elaine's disdain, Andrew remained calm. He said, "Ms. Theron, everything in this world depends on human effort. I believe nothing is impossible. Generally speaking, impossible things are only impossible because the price hasn't been set right. As long as the price is right, even mortal enemies can bury the hatchet and make peace, can't they?"

Elaine let out a sharp, incredulous laugh. "Oh, really? Go ahead and name your price. You actually think you can put a number on Valerie? You're arrogant beyond measure. Even if it were you asking to marry Valerie, it would still be a nightmare of politics and power, not something you can buy with words."

Andrew did not waste words and pulled out an unremarkable bottle. Inside were ten ninth-grade supreme elixirs he had refined. In terms of value, they were enough to drive even martial emperors crazy and make them fight desperately to obtain them.

Taking two steps forward, Andrew approached the gauze curtain.

From behind it, Elaine's voice carried a hint of tension. "What are you doing? You should know you can't get within three feet of me."

Andrew said calmly, "Mr. Atkinson is standing guard right outside the door, ready to strike at any moment. I can still tell that much. But you don't need to be nervous at all. This is the wedding gift. Amari's heart is set on Ms. Valerie. No one else will do, for him or for me."

As he spoke, Andrew flicked the small bottle into the air. The curtain parted for a brief second, allowing the bottle to slip through before it sealed itself again.

Yet, for someone like Andrew, even that single instant was enough, and he caught a glimpse of Elaine's face. She was stunningly beautiful, graceful, and almost his age. For a fleeting second, their eyes met, and the air seemed to still between them.
