Chapter 617: Chapter 616
Vera South finished her words and then closed her eyes.
It was dayti, and the two lamps had been extinguished, so her bloodshot eyes could finally get so relief.
However, the chair she sat on had no back, making it difficult even to lean back, and now she was suffering from backache and soreness, yet still maintaining a calm deanor in front of Keira Olsen.
She seed very confident that the people coming today would definitely take her away.
This was also a confidence in Fox’s abilities.
Keira Olsen saw her like this, lowered her eyes slowly, and walked out of the room.
Who exactly is Fox? What power do they hold? What influential people have they planted inside the International Departnt to make Vera South so confident?
Keira Olsen was pondering this when Lewis Horton ca over: “People from the international related departnts have arrived.”
Keira Olsen imdiately perked up and followed Lewis Horton, walking swiftly forward.
Just as they passed by, they heard a dispute ahead.
“Vincent Sims, who do you think you are? You hold no position in the Special Division, what right do you have to stop them from taking people away?”
This was Luke Dawson’s voice.
Holly Sims imdiately retorted, “Although my father isn’t in the Special Division, he now holds my grandfather’s seal! There has been a rule in the Special Division since ancient tis, whoever holds the seal can decide everything within the departnt!”
“That’s a rule from a hundred years ago; it doesn’t apply now,” Luke Dawson scoffed directly. “Are you still living a hundred years ago? The Special Division isn’t your Sims family’s private property!”
Vincent Sims counterargued, “How does it not apply? Forty years ago, my father handed this seal to your grandfather, letting him decide the matters within the Special Division… At that ti your grandfather was just a minor official in the division, my father was temporarily busy and left him to manage the Special Division, leaving behind this seal. Everyone in the Special Division obeyed your grandfather just because of this seal! Your grandfather thus beca the Deputy Director of the Special Division, and later your father took over following his footsteps. Without this seal, could you and your father have reached where you are today?”
Luke Dawson sneered, “That’s ancient history! Uncle Sims, stop with this feudal superstition! Nowadays, who in the Special Division still acknowledges this?”
He directly looked around at the people: “Does anyone acknowledge it?”
“I don’t acknowledge…”
“What is this thing? I’ve never heard about it…”
A few people echoed.
Now, there were two factions within the Special Division, one supporting Old Mr. Sims, and the other supporting the Dawsons.
The echoing voices now were from those supporting him.
Upon hearing this, Holly Sims imdiately beca angry, “Luke Dawson, don’t be so shaless! It’s written right there in the charter of the Special Division! Seeing this seal is as seeing the chairman, everyone must obey the arrangents of the bearer of this seal!”
Luke Dawson spread his hands, “Ah, I rember that too, but now your grandfather has been arrested. Even if he was here, we couldn’t possibly obey him! What if he is a spy?”
He directly raised the stakes, “People from the international related departnts have arrived, yet you stubbornly hold onto the person and refuse to release them, aren’t you provoking our international relations? If this escalates, how will we explain to the international related departnts?”
Holly Sims imdiately got angry.
Vincent Sims then patted Holly Sims on the shoulder, and directly looked towards Deputy Director Dawson, “Deputy Director Dawson, do you also think we should not obey?”
Upon this statent, everyone turned their eyes toward Deputy Director Dawson.
Deputy Director Dawson narrowed his eyes and sighed, “Big brother Vincent, it’s not that I don’t want to listen to you. Given what happened yesterday, Old Mr. Sims hasn’t proven his innocence yet, and I don’t know if we should obey him! What if he has indeed committed a cri, and by holding the person here, I inadvertently beco his accomplice?”
Holly Sims shouted angrily, “My grandfather is not a spy! Stop spouting nonsense!”
Deputy Director Dawson smiled, “I didn’t say he is a spy, I’m just saying things haven’t been clarified yet, so it’s hard for us to draw conclusions, right? Therefore, I’m not sure if we should follow this seal!”
Holly Sims wanted to say sothing else, but Vincent Sims ignored Deputy Director Dawson’s words and instead looked around at the Special Division staff. He raised the seal in his hand, “Those who still follow the Special Division’s charters, imdiately stop the people of the international departnts. Today, do not let them take the people away!”
As he said this, the Special Division staff suddenly began looking at each other.
Eventually, a small group listened and stood by Vincent Sims’s side.
Deputy Director Dawson imdiately frowned.
There’s a rule in the Special Division that internal strife is not allowed.
These people stopped the International Departnt’s staff, but his people couldn’t oppose this group. This small group alone was enough to stop the International Departnt’s staff…
Today, it really would be difficult for the International Departnt’s people to take Vera South away.
As Deputy Director Dawson thought this, he sneered and kept silent.
Keira Olsen stood not far away, observing them all the while.
She wanted to see who among these Special Division people was Fox’s insider… but at this mont, she still couldn’t tell…
While she was hesitating, soone from Deputy Director Dawson’s side spoke up from within the crowd, “Deputy Director Dawson, speak a word, Vincent Sims does what he wants in the Special Division, Old Mr. Sims originally said he would transfer power and you are the next Inheritor, but now giving the seal to Vincent Sims, what does that an? Are they still planning to let Vincent Sims inherit the chairman’s position? Deputy Director Dawson, just one word from you, and we will imdiately stop him!”
As these words fell, the people on Deputy Director Dawson’s side suddenly beca indignant, “Correct, Old Mr. Sims initially agreed to leave the position to you, but now has given the seal to Vincent Sims, clearly showing no regard for Deputy Director Dawson!”
“Could it be that Old Mr. Sims really doesn’t want to transfer power?”
“That shouldn’t be it… If he really didn’t want to transfer power, he should have arranged for Vincent Sims to co to the Special Division sooner. There’s no arrangent in place, it doesn’t seem like it…”
Just as this statent cald the people on Deputy Director Dawson’s side, soone from Vincent Sims’s side opened their mouth, “Mr. Sims, please say a word. Old Mr. Sims was forced to transfer power, the Special Division originally belongs to the Sims family, we only recognize the Sims family mbers, just one word from you, and we’ll fight them!”
As this was said, it stirred up the anger of the people around Vincent Sims.
“Exactly, why should the Special Division be handed over to the Dawson family?”
“The Special Division belongs to the Sims! We watched Old Mr. Sims dedicate his life to the Special Division, and now just like that, to hand it over?”
Keira Olsen watched this scene, her eyes narrowing.
The traitor, she found them!
