NovelBar648 Chapter 647 Brian paused, intending to speak, when someone suddenly intervened. "Deputy Director Dawson, you can't break the rules!" The person turned angrily towards Holly. "Both my parents were scientists in the field of physics! When I was a child, they were secretly executed by a spy. I joined the Special Division because of that, determined to protect our country's talent and contribute to its development! "But I never expected, heh..." With a bitter smile, the person continued, "Mr. Sims was my Idol and whom I respected most, but he actually aided Barry Brandt—a known traitor! Does he not realize how our nation's technological level has lagged behind, leading to significant losses? Barry Brandt's departure caused immense damage to Crera! And yet, he helped Brandt establish himself overseas... It's so ironic, so profoundly ironic! "So!" Stepping forward, the person glared at Holly. "As the child of a spy, you must bear the brunt of our anger and discontent! Besides, with Mr. Sims disguising himself so well, who's to say Holly isn't a spy herself?!" The person decisively concluded, "That's why we can't break the rule! Not only must we follow all procedures, but the Special Division must also expel her permanently!" Brian fell silent at these words.

What difference is there between his actions and those of a traitor? Mr. Sims, as the leader of the Special Division, committed such an act that made us lose face internationally! No other special organization's leadership is a spy!" "Exactly, we can't concede on this matter! Holly must face our denunciation!" "Not just Holly, but also her grandfather, Hector Sims!" "Hector Sims, his very nis a huge joke!" "Deputy Director Dawson, he suppressed you for so many years just to amass wealth. Looking back, isn't it laughable? Since the higher-ups have imprisoned him with us, why not drag him out and expel him from the Special Division?" "Right!" || II As the crowd hurled accusations, Holly suddenly spoke up. "My grandfather is already eighty years old. I'll take the punishment; please spare my grandfather!" Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked around at her colleagues. She understood their feelings, but old Mr. Sims was still her grandfather.
She could choose her country over her grandfather without hesitation, but she couldn't bear to see her grandfather suffer such humiliation.
However, Holly's plea only further enraged those around her. "You're still speaking up for that old spy? Then you really are a little spy yourself! Holly, you've truly broken our hearts!" Holly was taken aback. "I'm not-I didn't-1..." "As a member of the Special Division, faced with a spy, what should your reaction be? And what is your reaction now? Your grandfather is a traitor, why are you still defending him?" Holly listened in shock. "My grandfather isn't like that; there must be smisunderstanding..." Before she could finish, a cup was suddenly hurled at her, splashing tea all over her.
Holly turned to see an employee from the Special Division confronting her. "What misunderstanding? He committed this act that none of our colleagues had discovered. But you're a family member; have you failed to notice it, too? Did you ever benefit from the money he received?" Holly waved her hands urgently. "Never!" "Of course, he wouldn't need to use it since your family's wealth is enough for you all to live comfortably. But without those billions of US dollars, could your family afford such extravagance? It's as if you wanted to squander your family fortune... The truth is that you love his wealth! It's the money from his treason that allowed you to live so lavishly!" The statement was a distortion of the truth, but at that moment, nobody cared about its veracity.

The Sims family lived lavishly because they inherited the wealth from their ancestors, while others struggled to make ends meet on their salaries. People envied the wealthy, and this comment incensed the crowd further. "We all work hard for our country, why should the Sims family alone live such a life of luxury?" "Right! Deputy Director Dawson, since everyone is here, why not call Hector Sims out and have him endure our scorn along with his granddaughter?"
"Damn the traitors! Damn the spies! Deputy Director Dawson, that man must face our accusations and seom! He must be punished for selling technological secrets and give us an explanation!" Keira furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
Hector Sims was old and couldn't withstand such humiliation.
Brian was clearly inflamed by the crowd's words. "Alright, today we'll interrogate one of our own and dispel everyone's anger! You two, go and bringMr. Sims... Hector Sims!" Keira frowned further upon hearing this.
