"You have to sign this today! If you don't, this knife is going in!" Elise Tate shrieked, making it clear she wasn't joking.
When Jenson Shelby tried to get closer, Elise Tate tightened her grip on the knife and pressed it to her snow-white neck.
A red line appeared on her neck, and it looked like blood would spill at any moment. Ashley Bowen quickly stepped in front of Jenson Shelby, shaking her head. "Don't go any closer! Can't you see the knife in Elise's hand?"
The shout snapped Jenson Shelby back to reality. He was speechless for a moment, then simply picked up the pen from the table and nodded.
"Okay, I'll sign. Just don't hurt yourself."
He tried to calm her down, then scribbled his signature on the agreement with a few quick strokes.
Seeing him sign, Elise Tate finally relaxed. Her gaze immediately fell upon Ashley Bowen. She was surprised to see her, yet at the same time, it felt completely logical.
Suddenly, a nearly insane idea took root in her mind.
