Vera narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Keira. "I don't know all the answers."

Keira immediately tried to soothe her. "Then just tell me what you know."

Vera said, "I have no idea what the South family relies on to predict the future. That itself is a secret held by those in power. Only after the contenders are assessed and the most excellent one is chosen will the South family pass on the ability to foresee the future. As for what they rely on to control so many noble families around the world, of course, it's their wealth!"

"Wealth?" Keira was astonished. "How could the South family possibly have so much money?"

"How could they not? You really don't remember anything, do you?"

Vera mocked Keira outright, "Do you even know how much wealth the South family actually has?"

Keira hesitated. "How much?"

Vera said, "I don't know."

Keira didn't know what to say.

"I don't know the answer because I'm too superficial to even imagine the wealth of the South family, but you literally don't know anything, right?" Vera scoffed. "With the way you are, how could you possibly win? How can I believe you?"

Keira looked at Vera. "Tell me where the South family is."

Vera looked back at her and suddenly smiled. "I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"Once I tell you, you let me leave Crera."

Keira's pupils shrank. "That's impossible! You're a criminal now! The crime you committed has been filed!"

"I don't care." Vera leaned back in her chair, her eyes red from staying open all night. "You'll have to figure it out, Rabbit. If you don't even have that much ability, then there's no need for us to negotiate."

Keira stared at her.

Vera then spread her hands. "Can you do it?"

"I can't."

"But Fox can."

Vera suddenly leaned forward, staring at Keira. "I know I'm not smart enough, but even Fox took a long time to subdue me. I know what she's like; she wouldn't just leave me locked up here. She's bound to come save me."

Keira looked at her. "You're that confident?"

"Yes," said Vera. "Because having me out benefits her more than having me locked up here."

That statement made Keira tense up her jaw.

She didn't know why Vera was so confident; could it be that...

Vera smiled, "Do you think Fox has no backup plan?"

As she said this, the sound of an argument came from outside.

A man was shouting, "Holly, you are in a precarious situation yourself, yet here you are defending the person inside. The interrogation inside is under video surveillance. Does the Sims family always act above the law?"

Holly retorted, "What are you babbling about?"

Keira immediately looked at Vera.

She saw Vera exhale deeply. "See? Fox has made her move. Your good friend seems to be in trouble now."

Keira's pupils contracted, and she immediately went to open the door. As soon as the door swung open, she saw the guy who had blocked Holly in the archive room last time standing in front of her with others. "Holly, your grandfather is suspected of espionage and has been taken away by the higher-ups. Now, you need to cooperate with an internal investigation by the Special Division!"

Upon hearing this, Holly became dumbfounded. "What are you talking about? That's impossible!"

Luke sneered. "Officials from the higher-ups came to the Special Division just now, and they took him away while we watched. There's no question about it. Somebody reported to the higher-ups, and they've found evidence of his betrayal in his office!"

Holly's pupils shrank. "There must be some misunderstanding; patriotism is the first rule of the Sims family. My grandfather would never do such a thing!"

"Heh, the evidence is conclusive, and you still won't believe me. My father is temporarily in charge of the Special Division. Holly, you'd better confess everything you know willingly. You can even be exempted from responsibility if you cooperate!"

Holly glared at Luke and retorted, "When did the Special Division start implementing a system of collective responsibility? My grandfather hasn't been convicted yet. Even if he was, what responsibility do I bear? Or do you also have evidence of my wrongdoing? If so, just take me away! Stop your little show already!"

Luke choked, "You!"

Keira hurried over to Holly's side and asked, "What's going on?"

Holly replied, "It's still unclear."

She then said, "I'm going to see Grandpa."

Keira followed right beside her. "I'll come with you!"

Holly then said, "I'm sorry, but you may not be able to continue the interrogation."

"I'm the one who should be sorry," Keira sighed. "Perhaps it is I who have implicated you."

Holly was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Keira said, "I suspect Fox is behind this. Vera just said that Fox did all this just to rescue her."

Holly immediately clenched her fists. "Then my grandfather..."

"Let's go and see what the situation is first."

Holly nodded.

The two of them walked past Luke. He sneered and followed behind Holly, quickly arriving in front of old Mr. Sims's office.

Old Mr. Sims had already been taken away, and now there was a police line drawn here, and no one was allowed to enter.

Holly grabbed old Mr. Sims's secretary and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

The secretary was also lost and said puzzledly, "I don't know. Some people just came over, entered Mr. Sims's office, and found some information on his computer, which seemed to involve some classified files. Mr. Sims was taken away immediately."

Holly asked, "What classified files?!"

The secretary sighed, "They are chat records with foreigners and records of Mr. Sims providing them with classified materials."

"Someone must be framing my grandfather!"

Holly grew anxious. "How could such inexplicable things appear on my grandfather's computer?"

The secretary pursed her lips, "But..."

"But what?"

"But Mr. Sims admitted that those things were indeed sent by him."

Holly was instantly stunned, "What?!"

The secretary didn't dare to speak further and simply said, "They are calling me over for an investigation now. I must go."

After the secretary was taken away, Holly stared blankly into the room.

She turned back and grabbed Keira's hand. "Keira, my grandpa would never do such a thing..."

Keira nodded, "I believe you."

She and Holly had known each other for many years, and she had even gone to play at Holly's house. Their family was strict and upright, and the adults in the family were all honorable people.

Moreover, old Mr. Sims must have been deliberately targeted by Fox; there must have been some misunderstanding.

As the two of them were speaking, Luke came over with others and laughed. "You still have the composure to worry about others? Holly, let me tell you, you are in trouble yourself now!"

Holly glared at him. "What trouble?"

"What trouble?" Luke suddenly pointed at Keira. "You brought an outsider into the Special Division without authorization, and you handed over the interrogation room to her to interrogate a suspect. This is a grave violation of discipline. You've been dismissed from the Special Division!"
