Chapter 10 No Need to Explain to Her
Fedrick drove to an unfinished building not far away.
“D’mn it! How did Kaleb have the idea of locking someone up in a place like this!”
He looked around. It was pitch black, and the only sound was the echo of his own voice.
Kaleb was dragged out of the car by Zane. After rolling and crawling, he finally managed to stand up.
Fedrick kicked him hard. “Tell me w
where she is.”

“They… They hid her. We planned to teach Miss Kennedy a lesson. Once we got the money, we were going to blow this building up. We could not only kill Logan but also earn a lot of money and gain favor with Mr. Thomson. We never expected Miss Kennedy and Mr. Thomson to be old acquaintances…”
“You mean to blow this place up?” Fedrick’s eyes widened. “There’s a time bomb?”
Kaleb nodded as he trembled fearfully.
Zane’s eyes flashed coldly, making Kaleb gulp in terror.
Fedrick, tie him up. If the bomb goes off, I want him to be the first to die.
Kaleb immediately knelt and begged for mercy, but Fedrick tied him up tightly.
The unfinished building was a maze. Now that, Fedrick was certain Layla was safe, the top priority was to defuse the bombs.
At that moment, a black Bentley drove up.
Zane recognized the car’s owner at a glance–it was Logan.
“Mr. Robinson, where are we? I’m scared.” Harper clung to Logan’s sleeve in fear.
Logan patted her hand. “Stay in the car. Don’t get out.”
Harper nodded obediently.
When Fedrick saw Logan get out of the car, he sneered. “Your wife’s been kidnapped, and you still have time for sweet talk with your lover?”
Who kidnapped Layla?” Logan cast a cold glance at Zane. “If I remember correctly, Kaleb works for you”
Zane replied icily, “He acted on his own.”
Fedrick was anxious. “Can you two stop chatting? We need to defuse the bombs”
“What bombs? Logan instantly tensed.
This building is rigged with bombs, Fedrick and I will search for them. Find Layla and get out of here as soon as you
do.”
Upon hearing this, Kaleb trembled on the ground. “It’s no use. I told them to plant three bombs on every floor to destroy all evidence. They’ll detonate in 15 minutes.”
“What? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Fedrick grabbed Kaleb by the collar in anger.
Already beaten twice, Kaleb didn’t dare lift his head.
“We have no time to defuse the bombs. Let’s find Layla now” Zane ran into the building, with Fedrick close behind
Logan instructed his driver, “Take Harper away. Wait for my news.
“Alright, Mr. Robinson

The driver then drove the car outside the building.
“Is Mrs. Robinson in danger now?” Harper couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes. Miss Hamilton, stay put. There are bombs around”
Harper nodded obediently. She glanced at the building with a wicked thought. It it be good if Layla dies here.
“Laylat Layla, if you hear me, please respond!”
Inside, Layla groggily opened her eyes. She found the voice to be Logan’s.
She shook her head. Logan couldn’t possibly be here. He’s probably having a sweet time with Harper

Upon hearing Zane’s voice. Layla snapped fully awake as she opened her eyes.
Zone? As she listened carefully, she seemed to hear Fedrick and Logan’s voices. Is Logan really here!
After observing, she realized she was in a dark room, only faint moonlight seeping in.
From where she was, she could see the building’s outline.
“Mm!” Layla tried to call out, but her mouth was taped. D*mn it! Who kidnapped me?
She struggled to break free from the ropes, but she failed.
Layla, you need to calm down. She took a deep breath and observed the surroundings. Since a moment ago, hearing a ticking sound.
Her heart sank. It’s bombs!
She lay down and crawled out of the room. She found herself in the hallway of the abandoned building
It appeared to be at least ten floors above the ground.
She used her head to tap the nearby column, hoping Logan and others would hear.

Soon, she heard footsteps, which sounded like high heels rather than leather shoes. She looked up to see Harper approaching

As Harper entered the building just now, she saw Layla, who was upstairs.
If Layla dies, I can be Mri, Robinson. If Layla dies, there’s no more obstacle between Logan and me
Harper headed toward Layla as she was about to push her down the stairs.
Layla sensed something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell exactly what it was.
Just then, Logan approached from not far away. “Layla”
Upon hearing his voice, Harper quickly knelt and began to remove the tape from Layla’s mouth. “Mrs. Robinson, are you okay? I’ll free you”
Layla felt uneasy as she saw the worry on Harper’s face. She hoped she was mistaken.
“Why did you come up? Logan frowned at Harper. “I told you to stay in the car.
“I was worried about Mrs. Robinson, so I came to help.
Layla said, “There are bombs. Where are Zane and Fedrick? Ask them to leave!”
“Let’s go.” Logan picked Layla up. Then, he called out to Zane and Fedrick, who were still searching for Layla, “I found Layla Let’s go!

Upon hearing his voice, Fedrick and Zane exchanged glances before descending.
“What about Kaleb?” Fedrick asked.
“Leave him.” Zane said coldly.
Fedrick shook his head. Kaleb has indeed crossed Zame
Meanwhile, while following Logan, Harper looked at Layla. She couldn’t suppress her jealousy.
“Ah!” Harper suddenly screamed.
Logan turned to see her heel had broken.
“Mr. Robinson. I’m sorry, I twisted my ankle.”
Upon seeing this situation, Layla said calmly, “Put me down. I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
Yes.
Logan then put Layla down and turned to help Harper,

As Zane arrived, he noticed the wounds on Layla’s ankle from struggling against the ropes. Without a word, he picked her up.
Layla was startled. “What are you doing?”
“Your foot is injured. Why didn’t you say anything?”
“It’s not important, Layla replied. “Besides, he cares more about Harper
It was clear Logan favored Harper beyond mere friendship. Layla had to be sensible.
“You idiot!” Zane held Layla tightly. “Hold on to me.
Layla said nothing but held on tighter.
“Hurry! The bombs are about to go off!” Fedrick shouted.

Zane held Layla tightly and dashed out of the building in the nick of time.
In the next moment, the building exploded.
“Get in the car!” After settling down with Harper, Logan turned to help Layla, but she entered Zane’s car.
‘Let’s go, Mr. Robinson. I’m scared,” Harper said.
Upon seeing her fear, Logan got in the car.
Meanwhile, in Zane’s car, Layla watched as Logan and Harper sat together in the passenger seat. She remained expressionless, as if she had gotten used to it
She remained silent along the ride.
“Don’t you want to know who kidnapped you? Fedrick asked.
“Kaleb, Layla answered.
How did you know?” Fedrick was surprised.
“A guess, Layla said nonchalantly.
Layla knew her social connections were few, and she wouldn’t provoke anyone. The only major recent event was her buying the plot of land for ten billion.

If she remembered correctly, Kaleb had bought that land in the previous life. Hence, it was obvious that she blocked his financial path.
Nevertheless, Kaleb didn’t know the land’s future value. He must have had other reasons for acquiring it.
Furthermore, Kaleb worked for Zane. This explained why Zane arrived at the building so promptly.
Zane, your man kidnapped me. How will you settle this?” Layla asked.
“I owe you one, Zane replied calmly.
Fedrick glanced at Zane in the mirror. He didn’t know what his intention was
Kaleb’s actions had nothing to do with Zane, yet he risked his life to save Layla and even claimed to owe her.
At Robinson Residence. Logan helped Harper inside without waiting for Layla.
Tm leaving. Thank you to both of you.” Layla opened the car door and headed toward Robinson Residence.
Fedrick told Zane, “I thought you’ll stand up for her.”
“She’s not that weak. Zane closed his eyes. “Let’s depart.”
Inside Robinson Residence, Logan was applying medicine to Harper on the couch.
Upon seeing Layla. Harper quickly stood up. “Mrs. Robinson, Mr. Robinson was just tending to my injury-
Before she could finish, Logan coldly interrupted, “No need to explain to her.”
