Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"Allan, come out! Is this you way of welcoming me?!" Jacob walked over and sat on the desk with his legs crossed.

He looked as rowdy as he could be, but the serious and calm expression on his face contrasted his rather unpleasant mood.

A sharp jolt was sent down Allan's spine. The moment he raised his head, the first thing he saw was Jacob's eyes piercing him like a pair of daggers. The terror on his face was overwhelming that the sight alone turned his face pale.

Jacob snorted as if to mock Allan's pathetic image sitting desperately on the ground.

"Do you want to say it out willingly or should I force the words out of your mouth? Which do you prefer?" Jacob squinted and glanced over at the others who were there with him.

"Mr. Jacob, it's not my fault. It's all… Kim… It's all because of him that I ended up at the receiving end of all this. I was broke and I needed the money. I just wanted to threaten him. I don't really intend to do anything bad to the company. You should understand…"

Allan desperately explained as he struggled to structure his words coherently.

Then Jacob sneered at him and sprang out of the desk. He turned around and glanced at him one more time. "You're still not willing to say it out? Do you want to spend the rest of your life rotting in prison?"

Of course, it was no secret that he was a person of sheer will and determination. He had various ways in mind to make Allan go to prison, should he will it. Therefore, Allan wouldn't, for a second, doubt that Jacob meant what he said.

"Mr. Jacob, I really didn't mean for things to end up like this. You see, I'm broke, you understand that, right? I only acted according to what I deemed was necessary for me to earn money." He stood up with his legs still trembling in fear. He looked around and scanned the expressions of the people around him.

Finally, he paused as soon as his gaze reached Kim, and continued, "Didn't you say that you would pay me back? If you can't pay me back, you have to use the file to pay me back. I haven't forgotten about that. Didn't you promise me that if something happens, you will cover for me and you will take the blame yourself!"

Kim stayed silent and only looked down. James cleared his throat, and stated, "About this matter… What he said to you is irrelevant. Everything is up to Mr. Jacob. There is no way for you to escape your punishment."

Allan didn't expect that he would be questioned by Jacob and the others one day. The shame he felt in his heart was too heavy of a burden to bear.
