Before Andrew could say anything, several people walked into Medicine Godโs Covenant. They were all in uniform, sharp and disciplined.
Leading the group was Luna, followed closely by her aide, Leslie. Behind them were three soldiers carrying a massive plaque.
The moment Andrew saw Luna, a flicker of embarrassment crossed his face.
โMs. Phelan, youโre here,โ he said awkwardly.
Luna gave him a strange look but did not respond. Instead, she walked straight over to Valerie.
Tear stains still lingered at the corners of Valerieโs eyes, but her expression had already turned cold. She said flatly, โI was handling some personal matters. Now that youโre here, Iโll take my leave.โ
She nodded lightly at Luna and turned to go.
However, Luna stepped forward, blocking her path. โHold on.โ
Valerie sneered. โWhat, youโre going to tell me what to do now?โ
Luna said seriously, โValerie, Iโve never cared what you do or what youโre thinking. Thatโs your business, not mine. But why were you crying? What happened between you and Andrew?โ
Valerie clenched her jaw. โWhat happened? Why donโt you ask that shameless bastard?โ
Lunaโs gaze instantly shifted to Andrew. โCan I ask what exactly happened between you two?โ
Andrew scratched the back of his neck with a wry smile. โNothing much, really. Just a small misunderstanding. By the way, what brings you all here?โ
Luna replied coldly, โMr. Turman sent me to deliver this plaque as a congratulatory gift for your grand opening. However, after seeing this scene, Iโve lost my mood for any celebration. I just want to know what happened between you and Valerie.โ
Andrew waved a hand. โNothing happened, I swear. Just a tiny misunderstanding, thatโs all.โ
Luna pressed on. โA tiny misunderstanding doesnโt make someone cry like that. I need to know what you did to her.โ
Andrew sighed. โRight, I almost forgot. You two are the Holtrien Armyโs famous pair, the twin beauties of the force: the lady general and the armyโs golden girl. But I thought you two couldnโt stand each other. So why are you suddenly so concerned about her?โ
Valerie, her temper swinging wildly, snapped, โExactly, Luna! Why are you butting into my business?โ
Luna frowned, her tone turning icy, โYour business doesnโt concern me in the slightest. What concerns me is my own. Valerie, you should know that whether in the military or outside of it, Iโve always held back for your sake."
She continued, โYouโve constantly gone against me, but Iโve let it slide every time. And the only reason Iโve tolerated you is because your family elder, also a General, is someone I deeply respect."
โBut let me warn you, Valerieโฆ When it comes to Andrew, youโd better stay out of it. Donโt even think about pulling any schemes or trying to hurt him again. If I ever find out that youโve plotted against him, I wonโt hesitate to act.โ
Her words were so bold and commanding that Andrewโs mind went blank.
Even Valerie was stunned.
Their grudge was clearly Andrewโs fault because he was the one who had humiliated her.
So, how did Luna twist it into her being the scheming one?
And what the hell did she mean by that threat?
Was she really defending Andrew?
What was going on between the two of them, and why did Luna suddenly have the right to talk to her like that?
