Chapter 644
She suddenly looked towards the room where Old Mr. Sims was detained, then furrowed her brows deeply.
A group of people immediately rushed over, dragged Old Mr. Sims out, and threw him into the middle of the room.
Everyone from the Special Division immediately encircled him, all of them staring at Old Mr. Sims with a complex mixture of emotions.
Old Mr. Sims was their former leader and their idol.
However, the actions of Old Mr. Sims were truly embarrassing to them, and made them feel as if their life’s pursuit was a mere joke!
Old Mr. Sims’ personal deeds even adorned their honor wall, and everyone, including Brian Dawson, held him in great esteem.
Everyone took pride in him, but who could have imagined that this stalwart figure would falter!
Once, they privately voted for who was least likely to become a spy; Old Mr. Sims unquestionably topped the list by a landslide.
But it turned out like this p>
Everyone stared at Old Mr. Sims, wanting to speak, but upon seeing his graying hair, they found themselves at a loss for words. Old Mr. Sims had supported and encouraged them through countless missions, and even in his old age, took on dangerous tasks multiple times!
He had always been brave and resolute.
Who could have imagined that such an idolized figure could do such a thing p>
There was a moment of silence from everyone.
Holly Sims, anxious, took a step forward to support Old Mr. Sims and shouted, “Grandfather p>
Old Mr. Sims sighed, “I have implicated you p>
Holly Sims’ eyes were red, and tears flowed freely.
She looked at Old Mr. Sims with mixed feelings.
She despised traitors to the nation, but when this person was her own kin… Logic told her she should continue to despise him, but the flesh and blood relative was right here p>
She couldn’t help choking up: “Grandfather! How could you do such a thing p>
Old Mr. Sims sighed, “I was wrong p>
Holly Sims looked at him, somewhat powerless.
Old Mr. Sims then looked towards Brian Dawson, “Follow the rules, do what must be done p>
Brian Dawson stared at Old Mr. Sims, his eyes also filled with complexity.
He had admired him for a lifetime, resented him for twenty years, and now that Old Mr. Sims had finally fallen, the ’deputy’ in front of his title was about to be removed, yet he suddenly felt it was meaningless.
Brian Dawson lowered his gaze, “Old Mr. Sims, don’t blame me for being merciless. We have to be even stricter with you. I can let Holly Sims go, but I can’t forgive you! So, accept our punishment and scorn p>
He gestured forward: “Everyone, line up p>
The Special Division personnel immediately formed a long line that extended all the way to the courtyard gate.
Old Mr. Sims stood at the front of the line, staring at these people.
Keira Olsen watched him, her fists clenched tightly.
It was then that Keira Olsen received a video call.
Keira Olsen furrowed her brow, realizing it was Fox calling her; she answered, and Erin South Martin said with a cheery tone, “Keira Olsen, I’m calling you because I suddenly remembered something I hadn’t told you p>
Keira Olsen inquired with a frown, “What is it p>
Erin South Martin spoke up, “Well… Old Mr. Sims isn’t actually a spy; he colluded with Barry Brandt. They had agreed a long time ago to collaborate from within and without. Barry Brandt should be returning to the country with his research achievements and team in a year p>
Her tone was casual, as if she were commenting on how delicious the chicken claws in her hand were.
But upon hearing this, Keira Olsen’s pupils shrank, and she immediately asked, “How do you know about this p>
Erin South Martin raised an eyebrow, “Ah, so you knew about it! You’re not as weak as I thought p>
She tilted her head and then laughed, “Since you know the truth, then Keira Olsen, it must be time for the most difficult choice, right? I called you to remind you that those of us vying for the Inheritor position have already gone through such training in the South Family, knowing when to make what kind of choice! So, today, I’m going to catch you up on this lesson p>
Keira Olsen was taken aback!
