Who else could possibly qualify other than Cornelia?
Jeremy pursed his sexy lips. "Ayden."
As soon as he mentioned the name, Ayden appeared quietly behind several men in black suits. "Mr. Artis, don't worry, I know how to handle this."
He wasn't one for many words. After receiving his orders, he immediately choked one of the men and pinned him against the elevator wall. "Do you even know who you're dealing with?"
Ayden's swift action left the man no time to react. Before he knew it, he was already pressed against the wall.
Honestly, it wasn't painful, but it sure was embarrassing.
The rest of the men instantly gathered around. "You should be the one to know who you're messing with. You may have never seen the Salazar family, but you must have heard of them."
"The Salazar family? To me, you guys are nothing but talk." Ayden never backed down when dealing with people who used their power to bully others. He lifted the man and slammed him against the elevator wall again.
The noise was a bit loud.
Jeremy instinctively looked back, fearing the noise might wake Cornelia and Hope at home. "Ayden, keep it down. Don't wake up Cornelia and Hope."
Ayden immediately lowered his voice. "Got it."
Jeremy used his fingerprint to unlock the door and went back into the apartment. As for what would happen in the elevator, he knew very well but didn't care.
After the incident with Hannah, he had the Salazar family investigated. He found out Daniela led a very chaotic personal life, knew she had ruined many marriages, and knew she was greatly purposeful.
So when the man in the hospital parking lot mentioned Daniela, he knew this was far from over, and had Ayden prepared early on.
When the cars parked at the entrance of the community, Ayden had already been informed and reported to him. He didn't let Ayden stop these arrogant men outside the community because there were too many people, and it was inconvenient for Ayden to deal with them.
Jeremy went to another bathroom to clean up, put on his pajamas, and returned to the master bedroom.
In the master bedroom, Cornelia was sleeping soundly in the big bed. In the crib next to it, Hope was also sleeping well. Those people should be thankful they didn't wake up the mother and son, otherwise, it might not just be broken arms and legs.
He first checked on Hope, making sure his sleeping posture was fine, then went to see Cornelia. As soon as he got back into bed, Cornelia instinctively snuggled up to him, sighed contentedly after feeling his warmth, and fell back into a deep sleep.
Jeremy loved her habitual dependence on him and the feeling of being needed by her. He held her close, feeling as if she completely filled his heart.
...
The men Daniela sent out were beaten up, their faces swollen and unrecognizable. And the man who beat them knew exactly who they were.
Daniela was furious when she heard the news, smashing several glasses in her house, "Useless bunch! You don't even know who beat you up."
One of the men, his face swollen and speech slurred, mumbled, "We only heard the man who beat us call the young man Mr. Artis. Yes, Mr. Artis. But we can't figure out how Mr. Artis has such power."
The title "Mr. Artis" was rare, and if someone had real power, they were more likely to be remembered.
"Mr. Artis?" Daniela pondered for a moment. She had never heard the name before, "Find out. I don't care who he is, I want his background checked thoroughly. I can't stand anyone in Harbor City being more arrogant than me, other than the Dixon family."
