Chapter 641
Holly responded, "Someone from above said Grandpa had already confessed. But I don't believe it. I want to see Grandpa…"
Holly's voice was heavy with sadness.
Keira understood her feelings well. They had been classmates since junior high. When they were younger, Keira admired Holly's sense of justice and thought her family consisted of generations of forensic doctors. Holly always spoke of her grandfather with pride.
The Special Division was a state secret, so her grandfather was known publicly as a forensic doctor in Clance. Holly would visit him every holiday, and she always seemed inspired when she returned.
Patriotism was deeply rooted in her. It was a trait passed down through generations. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
One's quality was related to their family background and the way they were brought up. Keira had known Holly for a long time and believed her integrity and commitment to justice weren't just a facade. So, Holly couldn't accept that her grandfather—whom she admired and idolized—could be a spy.
Keira couldn't believe it either. One's true nature, especially from childhood, was hard to fake. How could Mr. Sims, who raised someone like Holly with such noble ideals, possibly be a spy?
And to have confessed personally…
Keira narrowed her eyes. "Don't worry, I'll be right there."
After hanging up, she turned to Erin, still savoring her ribs.
Keira's expression darkened. "Did you report Mr. Martin? Was it you?"
"Yes and no."
Erin was blunt. "I didn't want to cause internal strife within the Special Division. After all, it's the only official organization in Crera that can help us. Mr. Sims is very stubborn. I haven't found a way to get through to him all these years. Brian and his son Luke easily distanced themselves from Mr. Sims when influenced. My original plan was to have Brian rise to power and then have my people persuade him to lead the Special Division toward our interests or unwittingly complete some tasks for me. But since the Special Division is an organization Rabbit and I are aiming for, it had to be destroyed by other heirs."
She blinked, discussing this openly with Uncle Olsen and Lewis without hesitation. "From what I know, this was done by Country M's Tiger. Tiger is her codename. I don't know who she is."
Erin shrugged. "As heirs of the South family, we're each contacted by the respective Guardian. We must keep our identities secret. Once exposed, we become targets for others. Eliminating one means one less competitor for them!"
That was why Erin kept her identity hidden.
Erin smiled. "Actually, since leaving the South family at age five, I haven't really returned home because every trip carries the risk of exposing my identity."
She then looked back at Keira. "Let's get back to Tiger and Mr. Sims. Tiger got wind of Fox and Rabbit's task of winning over the Special Division, so she decided to destroy it. The charge of espionage against Mr. Sims is real; she provided the evidence. Her plan was to bring it out after Mr. Sims had defeated Brian to completely ruin the Special Division. I discovered it earlier and exposed it."
Erin looked at Keira and shrugged. "I didn't want a good person to end up like this. Aside from this, Mr. Martin never did anything evil. But compared to the Special Division, I preferred to remove this tumor first. At least Brian's takeover could still be useful to us. If I hadn't exposed it sooner and Tiger had caused a stir, the Special Division would have been severely weakened."
After saying all that, Erin grabbed a drink with her greasy hands and gulped it down. It wasn't the most elegant sight but showed her carefree attitude.
Keira stared at her. "Are you saying you did this for the good of the Special Division?"
"Yep."
Erin blinked. "I never do bad things."
Keira didn't know what to say.
How could she say that so earnestly?
Erin had instigated conflicts between Gary and Nara, leading to Gary's suicide attempt. Gary's mother then tried to assassinate Nara as a result. She also set that fire at the South residence, trying to kill Mary. Weren't all of them bad deeds?
Keira continued to stare at Erin but didn't confront her. Instead, she turned and walked away.
She needed to see Holly first to find out what crime Mr. Sims had really committed.
