Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 319

Even if Jacob remained silent, his presence alone was enough to aggravate fear. Kim had a look of tremendous horror as he stood there trembling.

"Start talking!" Jacob roared. The voice was loud and terrifying that it scared everyone present. Even Kim couldn't help but flinch in surprise.

Still, he was at a loss for words. It was like someone had cut off his tongue and he couldn't bring himself to speak. His knees buckled, ready to collapse at any moment.

Jacob's expression was unreadable and this made Cindy more nervous. She cast a brief glance at her boss before turning back to Kim.

"Kim, if you're in trouble, just tell us. How will we know if you won't talk to us? We won't be able to help you if you remain silent."

Cindy took Kim's trembling hand and held it gently. The man gave it a light squeeze and met her eyes for a split second before lowering his head again. If only he was able to turn back time, then he would definitely not make the same mistake. But that was impossible. This was reality, and there was no turning back.

"There's no way to fix this now, Cindy. If I talk, you will definitely suffer the consequences." Kim could only cower in fear. Feeling hopeless, he covered his head with his hands and squatted on the ground.

His words, however, got the two men's immediate attention. As Jacob raised his eyebrows, James immediately sat on the chair next to him.

"Did someone threaten you with Cindy's safety to steal the documents?" James cautiously glanced at Jacob, who gave the same look in return.

As both of them exchanged knowing looks, James knew that his nephew was thinking of the same thing as him.

"Well... I'm not allowed to tell you. If I break the agreement, they would take revenge on me. There's no reason for me to be afraid if I was alone. However, I have Cindy." Kim sobbed.

His voice sounded hoarse and painful from choking as he immediately placed a hand over his mouth and stopped talking.

"They? Who are they?" James narrowed his eyes and cast a sharp glance at the man. That instant slip on Kim's words had somehow given him a lot more information than expected.

Kim blinked in shock and silently stayed in place. He wanted to slap himself for not being able to keep his mouth shut.

"We didn't force you to say that. Who are these people? If you don't tell us here, you'll have to tell it to the police instead." Already running out of ideas, Jacob had to try both hard and soft tactics.

"Well, I don't think that this matter is important anymore. What matters is that Cindy doesn't get involved in this." Kim looked up, his bloodshot eyes covered with tears.

Jacob stared at him helplessly, there was nothing else left to say.

Cindy rushed towards Kim and grabbed his hand. "Who are they? Tell us, Kim. We agreed that we will face and solve any problem together. If you don't tell us, I can't help you."

With pain in his eyes, the man looked at her. "I'm sorry, Cindy. I always make you worry. You had nothing to do with this but it almost took your life. It's all my fault."

Kim burst into another round of tears. "Mr. Jacob, I can't tell you. If I do, the consequences will be very serious."

A huge sigh escaped Jacob's lips as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He had done all that he could to persuade Kim and he didn't expect that the outcome would be like this.

"Come on, just tell us who they are." It was obvious that he was already exhausted from all the interrogating. All he wanted was to just get over with the issue.

"If I tell you, can you promise me that I won't get killed?" As Kim asked this, he refused to meet Cindy's eyes.

"Okay. I will do my best to help you, then." After thinking for a while, Jacob knew that he had no choice.

Kim briefly glanced at Cindy, and the fear in his heart seemed to be only increasing.

"I am buried in a huge debt. Allan Shi, one of the directors of the company, had agreed to help me. In exchange for that, he made this request."

Uncontrollable sobs continued to escape the man's lips that he had to cover his mouth to stop himself from crying.
