Veus murrowed her eyes, staring intently at Keira. “I don’t know all the answers:
Krita immediately tried to soothe her. “Then just tell me what you know?
Vera said, “I have no idea what the Bouth 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?”
