You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 270

"This has nothing to do with you! Stop asking questions. If you don't behave yourself, I'll kill you. I have nothing to lose anyway."

Tom, the boss who was driving spoke and refused to answer Coralie's questions.

"That's right. You can't blame us. Blame it on your husband who forced us to our wits' end."

Jerry, the younger man, echoed and let out a long sigh afterward.

Coralie could hear that he was both afraid and depressed.

She didn't dare to speak again. In fact, there was no use in saying anything.

When they stopped the car, Coralie was pushed out of the car by the kidnappers.

She almost fell a few times because she was being dragged by them. She tried to listen to the surroundings as she could not see anything.

There were sounds of cars whistling past at times; they seemed to be near the highway. She was pushed upstairs but she could still feel the wind around her. It appeared that they were not in an enclosed area.

Coralie had no idea where they were.

After walking about three floors, Tom put Coralie down and ordered, "Behave yourself and don't move around."

He tightened the rope on Coralie's wrist and then tied her to a pillar.

"Ok," Coralie replied.

She was very cooperative.

She had to cooperate with them if she wanted to live. Otherwise, they might do something extreme as they were already being forced into a corner.

Coralie just leaned against the pillar. It was getting darker and colder.

Being in an open space and on the top floor, she couldn't help but tremble. She could vaguely hear Jerry talking.

"Tom, I'm cold."

"Tom, I'm hungry."

"Stop complaining that you are cold or hungry. What else can you say? Hurry up and think of how to talk to Leonardo to get the patent back, or else both of us will be dead for sure," Tom said.

"But, if you don't allow me to call him, they won't know that I kidnapped his wife, right?" Jerry replied.

"F*ck, what if he finds us? Kidnapping is a crime and we'll have to go to jail for this!" Tom shouted.

"Then what should we do..." Jerry cried out.

Coralie was listening to them and really felt that they did not seem to have kidnaped her on purpose.

Perhaps they were forced to out of desperation?

"Forget about it. I'm going to buy some food and water. You stay here and watch her. Don't let her run away. Do you hear me?" Tom commanded.

"Alright," Jerry responded.

Coralie heard Tom leave in a hurry.

Jerry walked up to her and asked, "Will your husband make a police report? He won't ask the police to arrest us, will he?"

"I have no idea."

Coralie shook her head and said.

He was obviously stunned at Coralie's response. After a long pause, he said, "Forget it. Anyway, we have no other options. It's safer in the prison."

"Can you tell me what happened?" Coralie asked.

"Alas, my father used to work in a stationery factory where he spent decades developing a type of paper and just applied for patency. In order to manufacture this paper, my dad used the company to apply for a loan. They wanted to purchase machines to produce the paper on a massive scale..." He answered.

"And then?"

Coralie asked when he suddenly paused.

She guessed that the ending was that they suffered a loss after production as the papers did not sell.

"My dad was in a hurry to borrow money at that time. He didn't expect the investment company mentioned in the contract to demand the patent if we can't pay back the money. Initially, many people wanted to buy this kind of paper, but after we were able to get the loan, they didn't want it anymore..." He continued.
