Chapter 1078:
Corey soon discovered Pierre was at the police station. His expression darkened. “Why is he at the police station?
When did he leave?”
“Before lunch today,” Gemma replied.
It had been eight hours. Corey asked in a cold tone, “Have you been waiting for him all this time?”
Gemma, anxious, changed the subject. “Corey, please, let's just go find him. He must have gone to the police
station for his friend. We need to get him out fast.”
Exasperated, Corey commanded, “Go back to your room and stay there. I'll have someone watch over you. I'm
going to the police station myself to bring him back.”
Gemma resisted. “I want to go with you.”
“It’s not safe for a girl at the police station at night. It’s full of shady characters. What if someone tries to harm
you?”

intensified Corey’s displeasure toward Pierre.
Inside the station, Pierre was detained. Nichol had been injured and taken to the hospital, and after giving her
statement, Talia cout to meet Pierre.
Pierre's face was bruised and swollen, but his expression stayed stern, although his eyes betrayed a complex
mix of emotions when he looked at Talia.
Feeling ashamed yet unwilling to leave Pierre alone, Talia sat across from him. “Let’s head to the hospital later to
check for any broken bones.”
Pierre clenched his fists, his voice tight with frustration. “When you needed money, why didn’t you ask me?”
