Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 317 Are You Dumb

"Speak up! Are you dumb?! You have shown lots of guts by stealing the document! What happened to you now?" Cindy snorted angrily and collapsed on the sofa, the knife still in her hand.

Once she sat down, she maniacally waved the knife she was holding.

Watching the spectacle, Jacob realized she was much more aggressive than he had anticipated. 'Could this perhaps be the reason why Kim looks so overwhelmed?' he wondered.

Jacob squinted his eyes and gazed at him, attempting to read the thoughts that were going on in his mind.

However, he failed to read any emotions in Kim's eyes. He looked pale, but that was all about it.

James coughed slightly, indicating Jacob to dispel the eerie silence.

"Did you do it?" Jacob cleared his throat and asked.

"Yes, I did it," Kim replied instantly and bowed his head, not wanting to face anyone present there. A guilty person often had nothing to say.

"Do you have any idea about the extent of damage your actions will cause Cindy and the company?" Jacob demanded, his voice rising a notch due to anger.

Kim trembled slightly, but he still had nothing to say.

Listening to Jacob's words, Cindy's face was filled with gratitude.

But Cindy felt similar happiness when she saw how concerned Jacob seemed.
