Chapter 934: "Yes," Wilbur answered.
"Good. Issue an arrest warrant and go get the suspect," Brannon instructed. "Charge her with intentional assault causing serious injuries." At this, Wilbur went still, a wave of unease washing over him. He swallowed hard and asked carefully, "Who's the suspect?" "Corrine Holland." Wilbur was completely stunned. His suspicions had been right.

He'd learned from past mistakes. He'd already messed up with Corrine once and wasn't eager to repeat it. Brannon snorted. "I don't care what you think. Just do as I say! And don't forget, while Arion's away, I'm in charge." Under Brannon's orders, Wilbur had no choice but to say, "Got it. I'll head out now." Once the call ended, Wilbur drummed his fingers on the desk. The police station seemed calm on the surface, but there was a storm brewing underneath. With Arion nearing retirement, things were a bit unstable. The motive behind the sudden promotion of a new deputy chief from above was obvious to those paying attention. As a result, the team had split into three groups. Swere loyal to Arion, others sided with Brannon, and a few, like Wilbur, kept their distance.
Now, with Corrine involved in the case, Wilbur found himself at a crossroads.
After a moment's thought, he grabbed the arrest warrant and walked out.
Outside the station, he dialed Arion's number.
Arion had just settled into bed when his phone rang. "You're not in trouble again, are you?" he asked.
"Corrine's in trouble," Wilbur replied bluntly. "Brannon's issued an arrest warrant and wantsto take her in. I won't go into details right now." While getting into his car, Wilbur quickly summarized the situation. Arion sneered, "If Brannon pulls something this time, I'll make sure he's out of a job!" "I've told you everything I know. The rest is up to you," Wilbur stated.

When she showed up, Jules looked at her for a momenty dearly om surprised. What are you doing here?" "I miss you," Corrine said softly.
Jules was left in shock. He hadn't expected her to say from her thosewat Coming En sounded strange. "Did you and Nate have a fight?" Jules asked, trying to sound careful.
Before he could finish his sentence, Corrine grabbed a pillow and tossed it at him "Why can't you ever just wishluck?"
