Chapter 695
As soon as James Olsen said this, Kate Freeman immediately responded: “It’s not an insult! It’s a reversal p>
James Olsen was baffled, “A reversal? How is that possible! The mistake my little sister made, if I weren’t her brother, I would’ve wanted to beat her up. How could the online comments possibly reverse p>
Kate Freeman looked at him speechlessly: “Can you even take on the senior sister? Are you sure you wouldn’t get fully beaten up if you tried to lay a hand on her p>
James Olsen: p>
Kate Freeman felt she might have gone too far, coughed, and then handed him a cellphone: “Just look at the phone! Stop guessing wildly here p>
James Olsen looked at the phone and saw the news of Professor Brandt’s return to the country, he almost jumped up!
So this was the reversal!
He widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the content on the phone, then turned to the other Freeman Sect disciples: “F*ck! Whoever dares to insult my senior sister for being unpatriotic again, I’ll fight you to the death p>
After the Olsen Family’s press conference ended, Uncle Olsen and Keira Olsen had a brief conversation before Keira followed Lewis Horton out, asking: “The journalist we just caught, have you interrogated him p>
Upon hearing this, Lewis Horton’s expression turned grave: “Yes, interrogated p>
“Who was behind it p>
“That journalist was just paid to do someone else’s bidding, my people could only track the money transfer back to someone from Country A p>
“Country A, could it be the people who wanted to capture Professor Brandt p>
As soon as she said this, a voice suddenly came from beside her ear: “Country A? I know who it is p>
Keira Olsen slightly stiffened, turned her head, and saw Erin South Martin popping out of nowhere, cracking seeds and looking at her without any guilt of eavesdropping.
Keira Olsen: Who is it p>
“It’s Lioness.” Erin South Martin replied: “Over the years, I’ve encountered her countless times, but we never knew each other’s identities. Lioness really hunts like a lioness; she’s very calm and can wait in the bushes for her prey for a long time p>
Keira Olsen frowned: “You don’t know her identity either p>
Erin South Martin immediately exclaimed: “Isn’t it normal that I don’t know? I only know Vera South and your sister’s identities because they willingly confided in me. Everyone keeps each other’s identity secret. Not like you, doing something so outrageous without knowing anything, and now you’ve got Lioness targeting you! I’d wager she’s definitely starting to suspect who you are p>
Keira Olsen: p>
So her sister had been lying low all this time, enduring mistreatment from her vile husband and mother-in-law to mask her own identity?
And after replacing her sister, she inadvertently made matters worse by trying to defend her sister at every turn?
Keira Olsen lowered her gaze.
Erin South Martin then added: “See, you don’t understand anything, you might as well be my good little follower. I treat you so well, wouldn’t it be better if we teamed up to fight for the final victory p>
Keira Olsen did not continue this topic, as she had already figured it out.
Even though she didn’t know the reason, Erin South Martin didn’t actually mean to make her submit whenever she said these words.
Keira Olsen looked at Lewis Horton: “If that journalist truly doesn’t know anything, just let him go p>
Lewis Horton inquired, “Where do we go now p>
“To the Special Division, to take Old Mr. Sims home p>
At the Special Division.
Holly Sims had been secretly coming here every day since Keira Olsen had forced their hand to protect Old Mr. Sims.
She didn’t do anything else at the Special Division but just stayed there, quietly helping everyone with errands and cleaning.
People treated her poorly.
But it seemed to her that only by doing so could she make up to her conscience.
She continued wiping the table, trying to use this physical labor to punish herself and her grandfather p>
People initially scolded her, but seeing her coming every day, even when scolded, beaten, and pushed without fighting back p>
Everyone gradually seemed to give up.
Holly Sims felt that working for free at the Special Division for the rest of her life might make up for her grandfather’s mistakes.
As she took a mop and walked toward the operation room, she suddenly heard two people chatting ahead:
“Why isn’t anyone bullying Holly Sims recently? I see that everyone’s still furious p>
The other promptly said, “Didn’t you get Luke Dawson’s verbal warning p>
The person was startled, “What p>
That person said, “The ones who bullied Holly Sims were warned by Luke Dawson. And I think what Luke said is right, what skill is there in bullying a girl. Besides, Holly Sims also feels terrible, sigh p>
“Yeah, who would have thought Old Mr. Sims would be such a person p>
“But, if Old Mr. Sims is such a person, wouldn’t Holly possibly be the same? Brian has already notified everyone, in any place Holly can go, strictly no confidential files are permitted p>
Holly Sims heard the conversation between the two, and was immediately stunned.
Her heart clenched tightly.
She had never thought that one day she would be so guarded against by her former partners, nor had she imagined that her so-called redemption was just her own wishful thinking.
Her staying here had actually added a burden to the Special Division.
She clenched her fists, placed the mop in the operations room, and turned around to leave, but then she saw Luke Dawson standing right behind her.
Holly was startled, then she spoke: “Thank you for speaking up for me p>
Luke snorted: “I just didn’t want to bully a girl, no need to thank me p>
Holly pursed her lips, her eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her like this, Luke immediately panicked, and he reached out his hand: “Hey, don’t cry! You p>
But after reaching out, he realized that it might not be appropriate to wipe a girl’s tears with his hand, so his hand stopped midway in the air.
Seeing this, Holly noticed his injuries were not yet healed, and his outstretched hand looked quite comical, which made her burst into laughter through her tears.
Luke immediately took a breath of relief: “Good that you stopped crying, I actually didn’t know what to do when you cried p>
Hearing this, Holly was suddenly stunned.
Luke also realized that his words might have sounded a bit ambiguous, so he just kept quiet and scratched his head.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
But Holly felt as if something was slowly brewing between them, the air around them seeming to warm up a bit.
Especially Luke’s straightforward gaze made her cheeks flush.
She even couldn’t help but lower her head immediately.
Just then, a cough was heard.
Both turned their heads and saw Brian Dawson, Luke’s father, standing in the distance, staring at them.
Holly and Luke both took a step back as if they felt guilty.
Brian approached, looked at Luke, then turned to Holly: “Don’t come tomorrow, doing these meaningless things is totally useless p>
Holly felt a tightness in her chest but still nodded: “Sorry, I didn’t realize I was causing trouble during this time p>
Brian directly said: “Holly, I watched you grow up, I know you are a good kid, but our department has rules, family members of spies need to be strictly monitored, and your visiting the Special Division looks very bad p>
Holly clenched her fists, feeling extremely suffocated in her chest.
Yes.
Her grandfather’s offense was no trivial matter, she couldn’t possibly be trusted again.
She gave a bitter smile: “I understand p>
Then she turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Luke couldn’t help but speak: “Dad, Holly isn’t that kind of person, don’t say that about her p>
Brian looked at Luke: “You know? Can you vouch for her p>
“I can p>
Luke immediately said.
Holly was startled.
But Brian furrowed his brows, sneered: “You can, but you can’t guarantee it. No one can ensure Holly won’t become the next Old Mr. Sims! Luke, I know what you’re thinking, and since Holly is here today, I’ll just say it, don’t think about being with her p>
At these words, Luke’s face turned red: “Dad, don’t talk nonsense p>
“Whether I’m talking nonsense, you know it yourself,” Brian directly looked at Holly, mocking: “Old Mr. Sims occupied this position and wouldn’t give it to me; I’ve been wondering why. I thought it was because I wasn’t good enough, but it turned out to be because of money. Such a ridiculous reason p>
Brian stared at Holly: “Because of this, your grandfather wronged me! So, I will definitely not agree to you two being together p>
Luke immediately shouted: “Dad, don’t say that, Holly is innocent p>
“Innocent? Are the families of those killed by spies not innocent? Nonsense, how can you be so confused now p>
Brian scolded his son.
Luke was choked.
Holly spoke up: “Uncle Lawson, I understand, I will leave now and never appear in front of Luke again p>
After saying this, she turned and walked outside.
Luke watched her retreating figure, wanting to say something, but couldn’t speak p>
Just then, someone suddenly ran over, shouting: “Deputy Director Dawson, quickly look at your phone! The news is out!! Old Mr. Sims is innocent p>
