My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 421 Theft

The two opposing brothers confronted each other. Jamie broke the silence first and hissed in irritation, “Edward, she’s already gone. You can put the knife down now!”

Edward stubbornly shook his head, “If I put it down now, you’ll immediately send someone to chase after her, won’t you?”

He knew his brother all too well.

The

least he could do now was hold himself hostage for as long as possible. That way, there would be a greater chance for Freya to escape from Jamie’s twisted grasp.

Edward pursed his lips as he thought of that. It was as if he could feel her getting farther and farther away from him.

Edward chuckled lightly before retorting, “Jamie, we understand each other too well. Don’t bother trying to deceive me.”

Another half an hour pa*sed, and Edward’s body began to tremble slightly due to the strain.

Jamie’s gaze was fixed on the knife in Edward’s hand. He was genuinely terrified that Edward might accidentally pierce his own artery.
