NovelBookChapter 940: Even though Brannon had been appointed by someone influential and had never worked here before, he was still familiar with Jayden. What caught him off guard was running into the famously distant secretary general at such a critical time.
When Robert saw Jayden, his face immediately shifted. He held his breath and carefully backed away, clearly worried about being caught in the crossfire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJules sneered at Robert's sudden fear, mocking him for his cowardice. It was a sharp contrast to his earlier boldness. "Mr. White, you weren't so scared when you tried to take Corrine away in front of me." At that, Jayden's brow twitched ever so slightly. He gave Robert a quick glance from the corner, but said nothing. Then, Jayden moved toward Corrine.
Her long hair, slightly curled, hung loosely behind her. The harsh white light above her sharpened her features. Jayden's eyes dropped to her wrists, where the handcuffs had rubbed her skin raw. A flicker of anger appeared on his face. "Take off the handcuffs!" Robert paused for a second and then took a hesitant step forward. He had barely moved when Brannon stopped him. He looked at Brannon, confused.
Brannon dropped his earlier polite tone and spoke with a hint of warning. "Mr. Ford, what you're about to do might not follow the rules." With just a few words, he subtly accused Jayden of misusing his authority.
Corrine's eyes narrowed as she shot a cold, sharp glance at Brannon.
Jayden tilted his head slightly and smiled faintly at Brannon. "Since when does a deputy director get to make decisions in a police station?" His voice was steady, with no sign of emotion, yet there was an underlying threat in it that couldn't be ignored.
Brannon felt a cold shiver run through him but quickly regained his composure. "Arion is away on business, so I'm in charge for now. Naturally, I have to take responsibility for everything." Jayden's eyes were cold as he stared at him.

Until the investigation is complete, we cannot remove her handcuffs, and she can't leave this room either. If you truly care about her, Mr. Ford, you should try to convince her to cooperate with us. The sooner, the better. Otherwise..." Brannon paused, forcing a strained smile despite the discomfort. "You know how we handle things around here." If Corrine weren't so attractive, Brannon would have already had his men teach her a lesson. He hadn't expected this woman to have the guts to throw hot water at him. Damn! It hurt a lot.
"Are you trying to force a confession by torturing her?" Jayden's voice was icy, and the sharpness in it made Brannon shiver.
Brannon calmly touched his face and replied, "Everyone has their role, and the methods vary. Mr. Ford, you'd be wise not to get involved."
When Andromache had called earlier, she made it clear that Corrine's boldness cfrom the protection of the Ford family. But with the surveillance footage as evidence, even the Ford family couldn't shield her from the charge of assault.
