Chapter 640: Chapter 639
Holly Sims didn’t even know how to cry.
She was in a state of utter confusion, the actions of her grandfather seed unfathomable, even incomprehensible to her.
Kiera couldn’t help but ask, “Did he take the money? Is there evidence?”
Holly bit her lip, “There is, every transaction has been tracked, and although they were discreet, the total amount adds up to several billion…”
She paused, “US Dollars.”
Kiera couldn’t help but be stunned, the amount was indeed a bit too large.
But the Sims family was already well-off, having passed down considerable wealth through the generations, becoming quite affluent. If it weren’t for such a large amount, perhaps the old man wouldn’t have been tempted, right?
Holly bit her lip: “What does he need all that money for? My father and I, we have no need for such amounts, and we’ve never even seen this money. Yet there it is, indeed in his account…”
Holly wiped away a tear, “I don’t understand, Kiera, I just don’t get it. Is grandfather really a spy?”
Kiera patted her on the shoulder, “Let’s go see Old Mr. Sims first before jumping to conclusions.”
Holly sniffled and nodded her head.
Kiera was about to go in with Holly when Lewis Horton approached them, having already overheard their conversation. He suddenly spoke up, “Kiera, I have sothing to tell you.”
Kiera was imdiately taken aback, “What?”
Lewis whispered sothing into her ear which made Kiera blink in surprise and turn to look at him sharply.
Lewis nodded at her.
Kiera took a deep breath, “I understand.”
After saying this, she entered the Special Division with Holly.
As soon as they got in, Kiera noticed that the atmosphere inside the Special Division had changed. Previously, whether it was Old Mr. Sims’s subordinates or those of the Dawson family, everyone had shown a certain level of respect towards Holly.
After all, Old Mr. Sims had maintained authority over the Special Division for many years.
But at that mont, the look in everyone’s eyes when they saw Holly was tinged with disdain. So wanted to say sothing, but when they saw Kiera, they swallowed their words.
Their attitude towards Kiera was noticeably different now, as she was the senior sister of the Freeman Sect, the one who had helped maintain the honor of the Special Division.
Kiera was unmoved by this, and Holly wasn’t the sort to care about outside opinions either, so they both directly headed to the office where Old Mr. Sims was being detained.
As they approached, they saw the Special Division personnel were guarding the place tightly, three layers inside and three layers outside.
As Holly walked over, the guards imdiately showed a wary expression and blocked their way. They didn’t speak to Holly but turned to Kiera, “Senior sister, this area is detaining a confessed spy, ordinary people are not allowed in.”
Holly imdiately shouted, “There must be so misunderstanding!”
The man then looked at Holly, “We all hope for a misunderstanding, but the evidence is conclusive. Moreover, the transfer records are from over the past ten years. Miss Sims, nobody would start framing Old Mr. Sims ten years in advance… Or if he had co forward to clarify as soon as the first deposit was made, there wouldn’t have been any issue. Those funds just sat there, unknown to the higher-ups. If Old Mr. Sims is not a spy, then what is he?”
Holly was speechless.
The man imdiately said, “Miss Sims, Old Mr. Sims’s actions have caused us to have doubts about the Sims family. As his granddaughter, it’s best you refrain from moving about the Special Division for now, in case you steal any important information, right?”
Holly’s eyes were red with anger as she scread, “Are you treating as a spy too?”
The man just smirked and ignored her and instead looked at Kiera, “Senior sister, it’d be better for you to stay away from such people. After all, the granddaughter of an old spy, what good can she be? Even if there is no evidence yet of her being a spy, the technical information Old Mr. Sims provided to foreign entities involves various aspects, so of which might’ve been obtained with Miss Sims’s help!”
Holly imdiately shouted angrily, “I didn’t!”
“Whether you did or not, let’s wait until everything is cleared up. But even after it is, Miss Sims, being the daughter of a spy, you will no longer earn our trust. Please understand that!”
Hearing this, Holly choked up.
She wanted to speak but didn’t know how to refute it.
Seeing this, Kiera spoke directly, “Can I see Old Mr. Sims?”
The man frowned imdiately, “You’ll need Deputy Director Dawson’s signature for that.”
Before Kiera could respond, Jas Olsen’s voice ca through, “The Sect Leader of the Freeman Sect holds the sa status within the Special Division as Old Mr. Sims, and the senior sister has the sa standing as the deputy director. Since when does she need Deputy Director Dawson’s permission to do anything? Is the Special Division planning to no longer consider us as allies? Or do you intend to treat the Freeman Sect as subordinates to be used at will?”
With that, the man didn’t dare say another word and reluctantly stepped aside, “Senior sister, please enter.”
Holly imdiately followed at his side.
The man seed to want to speak, but Jas Olsen coldly laughed, “Would you dare to stop people if Deputy Director Dawson wanted to see Old Mr. Sims?”
The man was imdiately silenced, not daring to say another word, and reluctantly let the two through the door.
