Chapter 1471
Daniela had been digging into this matter, so her crew didnât dare slack off.
The next day, someone found out that Jeremy and Steven were old pals, and their relationship seemed pretty tight.
Daniela had some knowledge about Stevenâs buddies. They included Lucas, Rivera, and Marcus. These guys were big shots in the business world.
However, the Hartley Group suddenly collapsed a while back, and the world-renowned Marcus Hartley kicked the bucket.
Besides the late Marcus, Lucas, and Zavier were the only friends Steven had left, and they often showed up on all the big public platforms so that she could recognize them. There was no way this dude named Jeremy was a buddy of Stevenâs. She suspected this dude was just one of the many trying to suck up to Steven and trying to cling to the Dixon Group.
This guy was smart, though, creating the illusion that he and Steven were tight so that he could get more opportunities.
Having come to this conclusion, Daniela didnât have any second thoughts. âIâd really like to meet this dude myself and see what he was really made of.â
Daniela had had her fair share of men. The guys she used to hang out with usually pursued her, or they would approach her as long as there was something in it for them.
Now, this dude named Jeremy, whether intentional or not, had piqued her interest. Every time she thought about his face, it just reinforced her determination to get him.
His face was as handsome as Stevenâs, maybe even more so. How could she let a catch like that slip through her fingers? She even thought about having a kid with him, preferably a boy, one who was as handsome as him. Sheâs sure sheâd be the envy of all when she takes the kid out.
One of her guys asked, âMaâam, should I make the arrangements?â
Daniela said, âFrom what I heard from the guys on the task last night, his boys are tough. Take more guys with you. If one canât beat him, send ten. I want to see how many he can take on.â
As for how many this dude Ayden could take on, Daniela got her answer pretty quickly.
âMaâam, that guy is backâ¦â.
A guy rushed in to make a report. His nose was bleeding, and both eyes were black and blue, looking ridiculous.
What was truly scary was that a big guy was following him. This guy was huge, with a scar on his face that looked like a centipede, creating an oppressive aura.
Daniela instinctively took a step back. âThere are cameras here, so you better not do anything crazy.â
This was Danielaâs villa in Harbor City. It had a lot of security, and the villa area itself had a pretty solid security system. The average Joe couldnât get in. Now this dangerous-looking dude standing in front of her could only mean one thing, he had cracked the propertyâs security system and knocked out the security outside her villa. Otherwise, there was no way he would be here.
Daniela looked at the bodyguard who had just come in. The bodyguard immediately said, âMaâam, our guys were all beaten by him.â
Daniela clenched her fists.
This was bad.
Daniela didnât dare to act rashly now, but the bodyguard who had just reported the situation to her may not have realized how dangerous Ayden was.
âUseless guys, canât beat one person with so many of you. What a waste of resources.â He immediately ran to Danielaâs side, pointing at Ayden. âWas it you who injured our people last night?â
Ayden didnât even look at the useless bodyguards. His eyes were ferociously fixed on Daniela. âDaniela, right.â
The bodyguard said, âWhat are you looking at? Want a beating, huh?â
