Joey and Bryan knew Jeremy as their father, so as Jeremy beat up Terry, the two boys watched in a mix of astonishment and excitement, occasionally letting out a cheer.
As for Christine, it was her first time meeting Jeremy. Even so, she watched him with a blend of admiration and curiosity.
Corinne, however, watched in her usual calm demeanor. She yawned lazily, thinking that Jeremy was taking too long.
When Terry was left crawling on the ground and unable to get up, Jeremy finally felt a sting in his fists. He pulled a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped his hands before disdainfully tossing it onto the man on the ground.
"The name is Holden, Jeremy Holden. Feel free to find me anytime if you want to have another go with me."
Terry's eyes widened in horror when he heard the name.
'What! Jeremy Holden?! So that woman is his wife? No wonder I couldn't find anything on them. This explains everything! Oh crap, I messed up this time. I should count my blessings that he didn't beat me to a pulp!' he thought.
With the matter settled, Jeremy turned to head toward Corinne's car.
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind. "Hey, Jeremy! What about this little guy? You're not taking him?"
Jeremy turned to see his longtime friends Zeke and Gerald each stepping out of the other SUVs. Zeke was carrying Benjamin in his arms.
Jeremy was in so much of a hurry to get to Corinne that he had forgotten all about Benjamin.
Jeremy walked up to Zeke and took Benjamin out of his arms. "You two can head back for now. We'll catch up another day."
"Hey, screw you, man! You showed up after missing for three years and asked us to help you find Corinne, and now you're dismissing us without even buying us a meal?" questioned Zeke.
Gerald shrugged and nodded with his arms crossed. He rarely agreed with Zeke, and this was one of those times.
Jeremy could not bother to deal with them, so he just said coldly, "I said, I'll catch up with you guys another day."
After that, he turned and got into Corinne's car with Benjamin.
Zeke clicked his tongue, wanting to tease him a bit more, but Gerald pulled him back.
"Gerald, why are you stopping me? He needs to know it's bros before h*es!"
"Enough! Save it for another day. Can't you see he's in a hurry now? Come on, I'll buy you a meal."
Zeke glanced at Gerald. "Why?"
"I know you've been eyeing the two fine wines I have this morning."
"Well, in that case... Don't mind if I do!" Zeke chuckled, shrugged, and followed Gerald to their cars.
