Chapter 9 " I know . It's fine . We'll both have what we want , right ? " Silvana's voice was barely a whisper , betraying no emotion . Lost in thought , she stroked her lower abdomen . Dianna said , " Then raise the price . She'll ask Kendrick for the money anyway . " It was true - Kendrick had always been generous with women , especially when it came to money . After taking a tour , Christina said to Silvana , " I'll take it . I'll have the agent contact you later . " To her surprise , Silvana said , " Sorry . It's not for sale anymore . " " What do you mean ? Are you messing with me ? " Christina fumed . " Think what you want , " Silvana said indifferently . " Believe it or not , I wanted to sell it a second ago , but now I've changed my mind . " " You ... " Christina was seething with rage . Thinking of how Silvana had said Kendrick was impotent , she was even more furious . " Have you been playing me this whole time , Silvana ? " " You slandered me . Did you think I wouldn't clap back ? " Silvana shot back , no pushover . She wasn't about to take this , not after Christina's constant provocation . They already had beef , and if she backed down now , Christina would only get worse . " Very well . This isn't over , Silvana ! " 0.00 % 15 560 Chapter 9 Utterly pissed off , Christina slammed the door and stormed away . Silvana immediately breathed a sigh of relief , her face still pale . Dianna took her arm and said with concern , " You got me there for a second . I really thought you were going to sell the apartment to her . " She said weakly , " That's what I thought , too , but I changed my mind . " " I bet she's run straight to Kendrick to tell him everything . Hey , Silvy , do you think she actually confronted him about his ' little problem " ? " Dianna couldn't help but chuckle . J Silvana shook her head . She honestly didn't know . " Christina's such a bitch , " Dianna spat indignantly , placing her hands on her hips . " Actually , I heard something ... But I'm not sure whether I should tell you . " " What is it ? " Silvana asked . " It's about that bitch . Apparently , her brother was Kendrick's childhood friend and died in an accident last year . The friend who told me this moves in their circle . " Silvana knew nothing about Kendrick's social circle , but Dianna had some connections there . Back when Dianna first heard about Silvana's marriage to Kendrick , she was so shocked she almost had a heart attack . At that time , she was just beginning to interact with their circle and learned that Kendrick was the most enigmatic among them . She'd heard his name brought up occasionally - always in hushed , reverent tones . At the time , Silvana hadn't had a wedding banquet or any kind of celebration , which made Dianna suspect something was off . Although more and more people were opting for simple , private , and quick marriages these days , the fact that Kendrick was Silvana's husband - and that they ended up divorcing - was staggering . 21.93 % 15 56 Chapter 9 Speaking of the devil - Kendrick called Silvana . It seemed talking about someone behind their back really did invite instant karma . 1298 Silvana shot a pointed look at Dianna before answering . In the next second , Kendrick's deep voice came through the speaker . " You're selling the apartment in Serenity Estates , right ? " " Yes , " Silvana said . " Name your price . I'll buy it . " She was silent for a moment . " Any price , " he added . " May I ask , " she said , " are you buying it for yourself or for someone else ? " " Christina likes the environment there , " he replied matter - of - factly . " And it's the only suitable property available . " " I see , " she said . So , Christina had gone to Kendrick , which explained this call . Would he really give Christina anything she wanted ? She had been Kendrick's wife for years , yet she realized she knew nothing about him at all . " Silvy , " Kendrick said suddenly . Once upon a time , he had called her that affectionately during their most intimate moments . It felt like ages since she'd last heard him say it that way . She was thrown off for a second before quickly collecting herself . " I'll sell the apartment to anyone but you or Christina . " 52.61 % 15.560 Chapter 9 This time , it was Kendrick who fell silent . 11 201 She continued , " When we divorced , we agreed the apartment would be mine and I got to deal with it as I saw fit . That means I choose the buyer . I will sell it to anyone but her . " " What's your reason ? " Hearing his question , she almost laughed incredulously . The reason ? Was he serious ? Wasn't it obvious ? He had married her while in love with Christina , and they divorced over the same woman . From the very beginning , she had been kept in the dark . If it weren't for that day he got drunk and called her by Christina's name , she would still be deceived like a fool . Sensing her silence , Kendrick continued , " Christina's young and immature . Silvy , you don't need to hold a grudge against her . " " Who do you think you are ? " she couldn't help but retort , her fury erupting . " What right do you have to say that to me , Kendrick ? And who the hell is she to me ? Why should I ever humor her ? " She hadn't felt this furious even during their divorce . She was the victim here . How dare he say such a thing ? Kendrick was obviously displeased , his voice deepening . " Don't be unreasonable . " " Mark my words , Kendrick . I am not selling her the apartment just because she wants it . Now that you're involved , there's even less chance I'll sell it to her . Sue me if you want to take the apartment back . Then you can give it to whoever you please . But for now ? Forget it .
