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.

Jamie looked at Edward’s pale face and said, “Put down the knife. I promise I won’t go after her anymore.”

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.
