Chapter 20 Silvana nodded . She understood that . Back then , Garrett had come straight to Olandale to deal with Olivia's mess . Olivia's case was by no means easy to resolve , especially with Christina deliberately throwing obstacles in her path , who was determined not to let it end smoothly . When Garrett contacted Silvana again , she'd guessed what he wanted , but she still had no intention of helping . She told him , " I can't do anything . She's your daughter . Just figure it out yourself . " " Silvana ! What did you just say ? Do you even have any respect for me ? " Garrett didn't get to finish . Silvana hung up , though she didn't block his number . She knew Garrett would just switch to another one to call her again . This was a complete falling - out with Garrett . Silvana suddenly felt exhausted . She pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a heavy sigh . 3 What Silvana hadn't expected was that Garrett would show up directly at her studio . Things happened so suddenly that Sherrie was almost caught in the crossfire . It was Sherrie who'd heard the commotion and come out , only to see Garrett storming in . He'd marched right up to Silvana , yelling , " Who did you offend ? Do you know you've got your sister stuck in this damn nightmare ? " " Silvana ... " Sherrie , terrified , hid behind Silvana . Silvana stayed calm . " Let's talk in my office . " 0.00 % 16:02 Chapter 20 ed 11 208 her Once inside , Silvana asked Sherrie to get them some water . Sherrie hurried off . But before she walked out , she even glanced at them nervously . Garrett turned on Silvana , his voice sharp . " You need to explain yourself ! If I hadn't come , I'd never have known what you've done ! You almost ruined Olivia ! " Silvana said , " I don't deny I had a part in what happened to Olivia , but the main blame is on her . If she hadn't stolen ... " She didn't get to finish , because Garrett slapped her hard . Just then , Sherrie appeared at the door , holding two cups of coffee . She'd seen everything and was so scared that her hands shook . The coffee cups slipped from her grasp , shattering on the floor . Hot liquid and broken glass splattered everywhere . Sherrie froze , too terrified to even move to clean it up . " Silvana ... " Sherrie whispered . Silvana's lips tightened . Her cheek still felt numb from the slap Garrett had just landed . She took a moment to recover before speaking , " I haven't finished my words . " Garrett shouted , " I'm telling you , Silvana ! If anything happens to Olivia , I'll never forgive you ! " Silvana let out a bitter laugh . " Were you ever planning to forgive me ? " " I don't care about your excuses . This is all your fault ! If you don't find a way to fix this , I'll make your life a living hell ! " Silvana took a deep breath . " Then go ahead . Olivia's not getting out either way , so it doesn't matter to me . I don't care . " " What are you talking about ? " " Exactly what I said . You just slapped me , so Olivia has to stay in there a 24.41 % 16.02 Chapter 20 few more days . Even if I had a way to help , I wouldn't do . " 28 Youchers Silvana sank into her chair , crossing her arms . Her gaze on Garrett was unnervingly calm . Garrett was a businessman . He quickly reined in his anger , forcing a composed tone . " I was ... impulsive just now . I'm just frantic about your sister . She's so young , never been through anything like this . She's been locked up for days . Who knows what she's going through ? If you have a way to help her , please do it . Think of it as me begging you . " In Olandale , Garrett had few connections to rely on . Worse , the people making trouble for Olivia were only doing it because of Silvana . He wanted to make Silvana pay for it , but getting Olivia out came first . Silvana's lips curled into a disdainful sneer . She said nothing , refusing to agree . " Have you even asked Olivia why she stole ? " she finally spoke up . " She didn't steal ! How could she do something like that ! " Garrett became agitated again ! Silvana cut him off sharply . " Enough . Go home . " Finally free of Garrett , Silvana rubbed her temples . Her head ached fiercely . " Silvana , are you okay ? " Sherrie asked , hurrying over . Silvana shook her head . " I'm fine . Did he scare you ? " " No , I'm all right , " Sherrie said , though her voice still trembled . " Silvana ... is that really your dad ? Why does he treat you like an enemy ... ? " He might as well have been an enemy . 52.33 % 16:02 Chapter 20 Silvana said nothing . 1208 Your herr " I'm sorry , Silvana . I didn't mean to overstep . I was talking nonsense ... " Sherrie stammered . " I'm not angry . Don't worry . Besides , you're right . That's exactly how it is . " Silvana and Garrett had never had a single peaceful conversation . She'd once loved him , but he'd never returned that feeling . Sherrie was about to say more , but Silvana's face looked so pale . She said , " Sherrie , help me call a car to the hospital . " Her belly ached sharply . She needed to get to the hospital . Sherrie didn't dare delay , fumbling for her phone to book a ride . Not long after , Silvana blacked out . She had no memory of how she'd gotten to the hospital . When she finally woke up , she was lying in a ward . And saw someone she never expected to see : Kendrick . Kendrick was sitting by her bed , watching her . Silvana wondered if she had seen things . His eyes hold a complicated mix of emotions , even a hint . of concern . The ward was empty . Silvana tried to sit up , but there was an IV needle in the back of her hand . Kendrick moved quickly , grabbing her shoulder gently . " Don't move . " The sudden physical contact made Silvana frown . " Why are you here ? " she asked . " The hospital called me . They said you fainted , " he replied . 77 42 %
