Chapter 24 Harper Is the Gossip Monger
Logan was just about to tear her clothes off when Layla quickly pulled out the taser she had hidden behind her back.
In the next second, Logan collapsed to the ground.
As she looked at Logan lying on the floor with a flushed face, she rubbed her temples.
If this situation was not handled properly, something had was bound to happen.
Layla dragged Logan to the bathroom. After filling the tub with cold water and ensuring the temperature would not be fatal. she started to undress Logan.
However, just then, Logan opened his eyes.
Layla paused in the middle of undressing him. Ders, the laser’s voltage was high enough!
“Listen to me. I’m trying to help you. I have no other intentions”
Layla raised her hands high. The drug’s effect was still boiling and building, but he was slightly sobered by the earlier shock.
“Get out!” Logan’s voice was hoarse beyond belief,
This time, Layla obediently ran out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
Soon, the sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.
Layla took this opportunity to go upstairs. As soon as she entered the guest room, she smelled a peculiar, sweet scent.
The smell was mixed in with Logan’s usual incense,
Layla knew Logan had trouble sleeping, so he had a habit of lighting incense before bed.
It seemed Keena had spiked the incense. No wonder she was unaffected.
At that thought, Layla immediately extinguished the harmful incense.
After more than an hour, Logan finally came out of the bathroom.
Upon seeing him looking normal again, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before Layla could say anything, Logan shot her a cold look..
That look spoke volumes
Layla could only bitterly smile in response.
In both her past and present lives, Logan always saw her the same way. He genuinely believed she had conspired with Keena.
“Don’t use the incense in your room!”
After saying that, Layla went upstairs.
Logan was a smart person and quickly realized Keena had drugged the incense,
Sure enough, the next day, the incense was mercilessly thrown into the trash.
After the previous night’s incident, Logan’s attitude towards her returned to normal. The two of them were like strangers crammed into the same house
Logan had Leo drive her to Athena University. When Layla stepped into the classroom, she noticed that a seat in the back row was empty. Ashton, who usually liked to skip classes, had stopped coming altogether after the recent news.
“Layla, don’t leave after class at noon.” Fedrick’s tone was serious.

Layla nodded.
It was likely that Zane wanted to see her.
Sure enough, Zane’s car was parked at the entrance of Athena University at noon.

Most students at Athena University were the sons and dauginters of wealthy families, but Zane’s globally limited–edition SUV still attracted a lot of attention from the male students,
“Harper, look! He’s so handsomel
Just after class. Crystal noticed the crowd at the school gate and could not help but tug at Harper beside her.
Harper recognized Zane leaning against the car with his sunglasses on his person at first glance..
He exuded an aura of untamed unruliness that was both captivating and dangerous.
Crystal curiously asked, “Who do you think he is? He doesn’t look like he’s from our school. Harper, you’ve met many people. jand anyone driving a car like that isn’t just an ordinary man. Have you seen him before?”
Harper felt a slight sense of superiority hearing Crystal’s question. “I saw him at an auction before and spoke to him briefly. He’s an entrepreneur from abroad known as Mr. Thomson. He’s very impressive.”
“Really?”
Crystal’s eyes immediately lit up, but she soon became disheartened. “Someone that impressive wouldn’t be interested in me, I wonder why he’s at our school. He can’t be picking up his girlfriend, can he?”
Harper quickly connected the dots to Layla
At the auction, Zane had defended Layla. Could it be that there was something between them?
Sure enough. Layla and Fedrick emerged from the second building and walked toward Zane’s car together.
Zane even thoughtfully opened the car door for Layla.
Crystal was stunned. “Isn’t she the homewrecker who tried to steal your boyfriend? How can she get into someone else’s car? Could she know Mr. Thomson? No way.
Harper watched the scene with jealousy. Why did Layla always have a group of men around her!
Inside the car, Fedrick naturally took on the role of driver. “Did you call me over because you’ve identified the person anonymously spreading rumors?”
Zane’s efficiency was always impressive.
“The account was newly registered, but we traced its IP address to the owner’s location.”
“Where?”
“At Athena University
There was a knowing look on Layla’s face. “It seems you expected this answer.”
“Considering the nightclub is right next to Athena University and the people around meat that time, it’s very likely to be someone from Athena University.”
Zane unhurriedly said, “The account was registered by someone named Harper.
“Harper?” Layla frowned. Why would Harper spread false rumors about her for no reason?
She remembered that in her previous life, she had no entanglements with Harper, and even in this life, she had not interacted much with her.
Harper always had a delicate, innocent image. Why would she suddenly do such a thing?

“I recall that Harper was rumored to be Logan’s girlfriend, right?” Fedrick said with an experienced air. “Never underestimate a woman’s jealousy. They can do anything!”
“Harper isn’t the issue. I came to see you today for something else.” Zane took out a stack of documents and handed them to Layla. This is what you wanted. It’s been approved.”
“So quickly?” Layla had not expected him to act so fast.
When she saw the documents with the red seal, she smiled
She had bought a building in a slightly secluded spot in the city center, and it had just finished being renovated.
She was not in a position to handle this matter personally, so she had Zane take care of it, paying him extra for the service.
Everything was done in secret until the business license was issued, allowing her to finally relax.
Fedrick parked the car in the garage. The building was still empty.
The three took the elevator to the top floor, where they could enjoy the most beautiful view without being noticed.
Fedrick asked, “Miss Kennedy, you have the Kennedys. Why buy this building! Don’t the Kennedys have enough properties?”
Layla slowly replied. The Kennedy’s are constantly on shaky grounds. I want to escape it.”
That’s why you bought that piece of land in the sewage area. Now, it’s worth more than ten billion.”
Zane’s unexpected remark left Fedrick dumbfounded.
How much? Teu billion?
