NovelApp652 Chapter 651 Keira stared at the message, snorted softly, and didn't respond. She tossed her phone into her pocket.
Then she turned to Old Mr. Sims. "I'll take you back." Old Mr. Sims sighed but said nothing. He slowly turned around and, with the help of his walking cane, walked back into the prison he had built for himself.
After escorting Old Mr. Sims back to his office cell, Keira exited the building, only to see Holly with red-rimmed eyes standing there, watching them. "Keira, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Keira patted her shoulder. "You never have to apologize to me." Holly wiped her tears. "But you shouldn't have stood up for me. Do you know that many people in the Special Division were cursing at you just now?" Keira replied, "A few curses won't hurt me." Holly choked up. She looked at Keira and suddenly recalled how, in junior high, it was Keira's fearless spirit that had attracted her in the first place. So many years had passed, and her girl had never changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHolly clenched her fists. "Keira, I won't make things difficult for you." She turned and walked toward Brian Dawson's office.
Keira blinked. "What are you going to do?" "Resign." Holly said, "Staying here will only make things harder for you. If I resign, they won't seearound, and there will be fewer attacks on you.
Keira watched Holly, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing. Holly's moral sense was too strong, and she cared a lot about what others thought. Staying here would mean more scolding; resigning and going hto rest for a while would be better for her.
Keira nodded. "Then go ahead and resign." She stood in the yard and soon saw Holly exiting Brian Dawson's office. "I've been suspended. I'll still have to cooperate with their investigation... Keira, I'm going home." Keira inquired, "How is your father doing?" Holly grimaced with a bitter smile. "He was taken away last night. I guess things won't be easy for him. But that's only to be expected. I never imagined Grandpa could do such a thing." She hung her head. Keira patted her shoulder, wanting to tell her that her grandfather was a hero, but she dared not say it. Holly was a bad liar, and if she let anything slip, it would bring trouble to Barry Brandt...
Keira took a deep breath. "Stay strong, Holly." "I know." Holly smiled at her and then strode out. Keira could see people from the Special Division whispering and pointing all around her, but Holly wasn't like before, holding her head high. Instead, she walked with her head down, like a person who had done something wrong, seemingly trying to curl up into herself.
Watching this, Keira couldn't help but heave a heavy sigh. Holly couldn't cheer herself up unless Old Mr. Sims was vindicated. With that in mind, Keira turned and walked out.
On her way, she heard people from the Special Division scoffing at her from a distance, followed by sarcastic taunts.
"Speople know a bit of martial arts and think they are all that great. They're throwing their weight around in the Special Division, and that's completely ludicrous!" "The Freeman Sect has truly fallen. They've accepted such a person as their senior sister. I really wonder if the Sect Leader is blind." "I feel so ashamed of the Freeman Sect." Keira seemed not to hear any of this as she stepped out of the Special Division.

Lewis nodded. "I just got in touch with him. He's aware of old Mr.
Sims's arrest and won't wait forla year for did Mr. Sims' sake. He plans to cback in a week with his students. When the tcomes, I'll personally ensure their safe return." Keira asked, "Won't his sudden return affect his mission?"
Lewis smiled. "Professor Brandt has long becone of the top scientists in the physics field. He has been wanting to return hbut hasn't found the right opportunity. Moreover, if old Mr. Sims can make sacrifices for Professor Brandt, how could Professor Brandt possibly stand by and watch old Mr. Sims spend his remaining days in prison? Their friendship... is one of mutual support." These words made Keira pause for a moment. Then she nodded. The friendship of the older generation was truly moving.
As she was contemplating this, her phone rang. James' voice cthrough. "Keera, your actions at the your Special Division have been reported by Brian Dawson to the Sect Leader, and he's ordered you to cback immediately to face punishment!" Keira felt exasperated. She twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Lewis. "Can't go home. Let's head to Freeman Sect first!" X
