Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2487

Elaine had been talking for a while before realizing that Valerie had not heard a single word. She just kept pacing the living room, restless and irritated.

Elaine smiled faintly. "Valerie, what's wrong? You look like you're on edge."

Valerie stopped abruptly, her tone sharp. "On edge? Of course I am. I can't wait to see Andrew torn apart by Mr. Murphy Senior. If I'm not anxious for that, who would be?"

Elaine's smile deepened. "Well then, since you've said it yourself, I'll make sure your wish comes true. Sure, we're technically allies with Andrew and his people right now, but you know how partnerships are; they can end anytime. Whatever investment our family made means nothing compared to your feelings."

She added, "You want Andrew dead to reclaim your dignity, and soon enough, you'll have your justice."

Valerie's eyes darkened. "But what I really want is to see that bastard die by my own hand."

Elaine shook her head. "That's not going to happen. You already admitted you're not his match, so it's better to let Wilder handle it. Just sit tight and wait for the news of Andrew's death."

Valerie's face went pale. She lowered her gaze, and no one could tell what was running through her mind.

Elaine smirked. "Why so quiet now? I thought you'd be thrilled. After all, that man dared to humiliate you. His death should be the only way to make up for your loss, shouldn't it?"

Valerie clenched her jaw but said nothing. Her thoughts were a tangled mess.

Did she really want Andrew dead? Of course she did. At least, that was what she kept telling herself.
