Jeremy red daggers at Terry, who broke out in a nervous sweat. ''Who...is he? Why does he look so intimidating?'' wondered Terry.


    Once Jeremy''s eyes shifted away from the father andnded on Corinne, the grimness in his gaze softened. He arched an eyebrow and opened his hands slightly. "Did you miss me?"Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Corinne looked at him, her clear eyes on the verge of welling up with tears, but her tone stillcked warmth. "Where have you been? Why didn''t you reply to my messages?"


    Jeremy walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her into a warm embrace. He then rested his chin on her shoulder and answered softly, "I threw away my phone to avoid being tracked. After escaping from the airport yesterday, I had to take care of some things. I''m sorry for beingte again."


    Corinne thumped his chest and said in a choking voice, "You jerk! I thought..."


    She thought he had gone back to Molomia without so much as saying goodbye to her.


    Jeremy, knowing what Corinne wanted to say, patted her back gently. "I''ll never leave you again."


    Corinne finally let her guard down. This embrace, which she had waited for three years, was something she thought she might never experience again.


    Everything felt surreal to her at that moment. Was this a dream? Once she woke up, he would not be there anymore...


    "Hey! Enough with the PDA! How are you going to pay me back for the damages you did to my cars?!"


    As fearful as he was of Jeremy, Terry still could not contain his anger at the sight of his wrecked vehicles.


    His angry outburst brought Jeremy and Corinne out of their emotional reunion. They were still holding each other but with a slight distance between them. Both of them shifted their attention to the irate man. Jeremy''s eyes narrowed slightly. Ignoring the yelling man, he lowered his gaze and asked Corinne softly, "Who''s that guy?"


    Corinne frowned. Long gone was the tough-woman act as she clung to Jeremy''s waist and said helplessly, "He and his son are nothing but thugs! He bullied me while his son bullied Joey! It''s only fair to beat him!"


    Jeremy nodded and said dotingly, "Alright, let''s beat him up, then."


    Terry was clearly annoyed by their lovey-dovey act. "Hey! Are you two done yet? I don''t have time to waste on this mushy stuff!"


    Jeremy spared Terry not even a nce. He stroked Corinne''s cheek gently. "Wait for me in the car, okay?"


    Corinne nodded and did as she was told. She shooed away the three curious little heads poking out, saying, "Close the window. Don''t let blood stter in."


    "Who said you could get in the car, you b*tch! Stop right there-agh!" Terry rushed forward, trying to prevent Corinne from getting into the car. However, Jeremy grabbed him by the neck before he could reach her.


    It was already toote by the time Terry realized what was happening. His face was turning purple from theck of oxygen.


    "I heard you bullied my wife?"


    Terry instinctively tried to push away the powerful hand on his neck, but the overwhelming strength made it impossible for him to break free. He wished to move his head, yet he found himself immobile and could not utter a single word.


    At the critical moment, Jeremy suddenly released his grip on the man''s neck. However, in the brief moment he took a breath, Jeremyunched one deadly punch after another.


    "Ah! Ah! Ugh!"


    The continuous screams and the blood on the ground terrified the burly women who hade with Terry. They all scattered in fear.


    Tonny, the only one left, wailed as he witnessed his father being beaten brutally.


    Inside the car, Corinne and the kids watched the scene outside through the window in silence.
