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

very

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.

Perhaps this would be the last time he would ever see her.

Freya vaulted over the wall and immediately headed towards a small path after landing on a

crouch.

She had been brought here while she was unconscious. Still, it didn’t prevent her from figuring out the direction based on the sunrise and sunset.

As she swept her gaze across the surrounding trees, she quickly determined that she was in the north of Kundin. In Kundin, the safest place was the capital.

On the other hand, the north of Kundin was… a mess.

Freya darted down the small pathway heading south.

Time passed bit by bit. Meanwhile, Edward was still standing under the tree, his eyes never straying from Jamie and Monkey.

As the sky darkened, the lights in the villa had already been turned on..

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 passed, 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.
