She had to admit she had loved Kendrick deeply . But now , she could no longer hold back . She bit her lip , her eyes glistening with tears . " Kendrick is such a bastard ! " " He surely is ! He's the biggest bastard in the world ! It's all my fault . I should have stopped you back then , " Dianna cursed even more fiercely . " Silvy , you're too good - tempered . Anyone can walk all over you . " The more she said , the more furious she became . " This is so infuriating . I gotta go confront that bastard . How could he do this ? He gave you the apartment already . How could he go back on his word and offer it to his mistress ? " Silvana pulled her back . " Don't , Anna . It's not necessary . Just forget it . " Are you gonna let them get their way ? Are you really OK with that ? " " I'm not gonna sell him the apartment . " Silvana bit her lip . She wasn't OK with any of this . She simply didn't want to be at Kendrick's mercy . Why would she help him please his mistress? " I'd rather sell it to someone else with a big discount before letting him have it .

Dianna said , " I'll tell my friends to help us find a buyer . They wouldn't lay a finger on the apartment even if they were the last people on Earth !" Deep down , Silvana couldn't shake the bad feeling that Christina wouldn let anything go , least of all what happened with Julianne . And it turned out she was right . Christina posted the entire thing online , which soon went viral . Since Silvana was the one suspected of plagiarism , the studio's reputation was affected . Even Felicia had heard about it and called her immediately to ask . Silvana told Felicia the whole story , and Felicia said , " We have to do something about this . If this goes to court , it'll consume a huge amount of time and energy . Besides , even if we win , the damage to the studio's °° reputation might linger .

Can you apologize to her ? We'll agree any terms she sets , as long as she agrees to drop this . Alright ? I'll set up a meeting with her , and we'll settle this over a meal . " She hung up before Silvana could respond . Soon , she texted Silvana the meeting time and location , repeatedly reminding Silvana not to be late .

" " Sorry , Mrs. Maxwell , " Silvana said after a few seconds of silence . As if she hadn't heard Silvana at all , Julianne said to Felicia , " What's this about , Felicia ? It seems to me that someone isn't supposed to be here . " Felicia said with an apologetic smile , " Mrs. Maxwell , please don't be upset . Silvana and I came here to apologize to you . We were immature before , and we're sorry for any offense we've caused . " Silvana bit her lip and picked up a wine bottle to fill Julianne's glass . " Mrs. Maxwell , my apologies for what happened . I'm deeply sorry for offending you . " Julianne clicked her tongue . " Having a backbone isn't a bad thing , but you should've just admitted your mistake . See what happens ? Now that it's escalated , you're paying the price . If you'd been reasonable from the start , none of this would've happened . " Julianne refused to accept Felicia and Silvana's apologies . " That's it ? You call that apologizing ? Do you honestly believe I'll forgive you just like this ? It's not even remotely enough . " Felicia forced a smile . " Mrs. Maxwell , what do you expect us to do ? " Cornered , Silvana knew that only a sincere apology could earn Julianne's forgiveness . In a humble tone , she could only say , " I'm deeply sorry , Mrs. Maxwell . I sincerely apologize to you for any offense I've caused . " " Silvana , you're a smart woman .

Silvana , if you really mean what you said , you'll need to apologize to her in person . " After a pause , Julianne continued , " In fact , I don't want to make things hard for you . You're so young and talented - that's a rare combination . Not many people are as fortunate as you . You know what ? You have plenty of choices . Divorced women nowadays can easily find someone new . " Christina is stubborn - once she sets her eyes on a man , she won't change her mind . Instead of competing with her , why don't you just let go ? There are plenty of other fish in the sea .
