Chapter 4 Remember, I Am Your Husband
- There was a moment of silence. After a long pause, Zane smiled and said, "Mrs. Robinson, you shouldn't falsely accuse innocent people."
- "Exactly. We are all legitimate businessmen!" Fedrick chimed in earnestly.
- "Whether or not you're legitimate businessmen is not for me to decide. However, I believe Logan would be quite interested." Layla calmly continued, "As for me, I'm just a clueless heiress, but Logan is not. If I were to repeat what I just mentioned, I wonder if he would take notice."
- "You are sneaky !" Fedrick could not keep his cool.
- She looked at Zane seriously. "Lend me eight billion, and I will repay you with interest in three years."
- Fedrick eyes widened. "Are you kidding? Eight billion? Do you realize how much interest there will be in three years? We'll lose eight billion if you cannot repay. You are Logan's wife; who could do anything to you then?"
- "I know how much the interest is. I can sign a contract with you. If I can't repay, I'll give you the properties and shares, and work for you diligently for the rest of my life." Layla hesitated for a moment and continued, "Furthermore, my marriage with Logan probably won't last three years. He wouldn't protect me even if I'm still his wife after three years."
- Upon hearing this, Zane looked up and gazed at her for a while.
- Fedrick's ears perked up.
- It seemed he had just caught a whiff of gossip.
- However, Fedrick quickly collected his thoughts and said, "No, !"
- Before he finished speaking, a low and calm voice beside him interrupted, "Alright, I'll lend it to you."
- "What!" Fedrick jumped up from his chair. "Have you lost your mind too?"
- "I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you. We'll draft the contract later."
- "Damn you, Zane!" Fedrick stomped his feet.
- "Thank you, Mr. Thomson." Layla stood up, "I will wait for your message. I look forward to our cooperation."
- Layla smiled and exited the CEO's office.
- After watching her depart, Fedrick gritted his teeth and said, "She left quite happily. It's eight billion! Are you out of your mind? Why would you lend her money, she is Logan's wife?"
- Zane smirked and replied, "She is attractive."
- "Damn it! Why do I have to pay for your flirting?"
- Zane stood up and slapped a bank card on Fedrick's chest. "The betrothal gift for the woman I love is naturally my responsibility."
- "What? Betrothal gift? She is Logan's wife, what are you talking about?"
- Zane ignored Fedrick and walked out of the CEO's office.
- "Crazy. Everyone is out of their mind!"
- As Layla stepped through the door of Robinson Residence, she immediately saw Logan sitting in the living room.
- Layla frowned.
- In her previous life, Logan's visits to the home were rare.
- Since when has he been so attached to the house?
- ssum he was just home for a brief stay turned to go upstairs.
- Suddenly, Logan spoke in a cold voice. "Layla!"
- She stopped in her tracks.
- "What's wrong?"
- e uncomfortable with her cold demeanor over the past few days, impatiently said, "The people from the auction are here to collect the money."
- "I know."
- sighed and continued, "You can tell me if you don't have enough money."
- "No need, I've already taken care of it."
- "Where did you get the money?"
- billion was small amount. Logan knew that Layla couldn't possibly come up with that much money in such a short time.
- "Layla, don't forget that I am your husband."
- Layla chuckled self-deprecatingly. Husband? Logan is always embarrassed by this. Why does he suddenly remember that he's my husband?
- "You're so anxious because you're afraid I'll lose this ten billion and drag the Robinsons down ."
- Logan fell into silence.
- Seeing Logan's reaction, Layla knew she had guessed right.
- "Don't worry, I won't drag the Robinsons down. I am well aware that ours is a commercial marriage. Your glory is my glory, your loss is my loss. ou don't need to always come home."
- Logan was left speechless. He had indeed thought that way in the past, treating Layla with cold indifference after their marriage, not even touching her once.
- However, he suddenly realized how bad he had been upon hearing these words from Layla.
- Logan was about to say something when Layla's phone buzzed with a notification of a funds transfer.
- She Zane to transfer the funds so quickly.
- Eight billion had been deposited into the account within an hour only.
- With the matter resolved, a smile appeared on her face.
- Logan pressed his lips together, suddenly remembering how Layla had used to follow him around, displaying such a smile, that he had never cared.
- "There is a dinner tonight. Come with me."
- "Me?" Layla frowned.
- Logan asked, "You don't want to?"
- "Why don't you take Harper to the dinner?" Layla was confused.
- She remembered that in her previous life, Logan would always bring Harper along whenever there was a banquet or dinner.
- If she remembered correctly, this was also an international banquet. In her previous life, she had argued and fought to attend, but Logan had still taken Harper, indirectly paving the way for Harper's future.
- Why does Logan suddenly consider bringing me to such an important event?
- "You are Mrs. Robinson. Naturally, you should accompany me to such events."
- Layla did not buy this excuse. She assumed that Logan only remembered her because Harper had something else going on.
- Well, she should participate in such events more often. she needed to expand her since she planned to start her own business.
- "Fine. I'll go get ready."
- Logan breathed a sigh of relief seeing Layla agree. At least Layla's willing to play the role of Mrs. Robinson.
- Perhaps she hadn't completely lost hope in him yet.
- Meanwhile, Harper was in her dorm, admiring the dress sent by Logan's secretary.
- Her roommate looked at Harper with envy.
- "Harper, your boyfriend is so good to you. He always sends you such beautiful dresses."
- A spread across Harper's cheeks.
- "Harper, when will you introduce us to your boyfriend?"
- "Yeah! Your boyfriend is so and always takes you to all kinds of banquets. We're so curious!"
- Harper shook her head and replied, "He's very busy with work. I'll introduce you all to him when ."
- At that moment, Harper's phone rang.
- She answered the phone cheerfully seeing that it was a call from Logan's secretary
- "Leo, did Mr. Robinson send you to fetch me? I will come down right away."
- "Miss Hamilton, Mr. Robinson said you don't need to attend the banquet today."
