---- 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 | am. | 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 | 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? | 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.
However, as she looked at Elaine's smug smile, an odd sense of disgust crept up her chest. Would Andrew's

muttered. Elaine frowned. "Where are you going? Finnegan will be back in Chetvine soon. Don't you want to be
here to meet him first?" Valerie's tone was rushed. "I'll explain everything to Dad later. Right now, | need to go to
the Martial Tower and see what's happening." ---- Before Elaine could respond, Valerie had already stormed out
the door.
Elaine stood watching her retreating figure, her expression complicated. She murmured, "Valerie, you used to be
my best friend. Honestly, I've envied and even hated you before. Your family ngave you the freedom to
choose your own life, while the Theron family had nothing." Her smile turned bitter. "I wanted power,
independence, and status, so | did the only thing | could... | married your father. You've despisedever since,
