Chapter 614 Senior Sister of the Freeman Sect!

Holly couldn’t help but laugh in anger when she heard that. “My grandfather hasn’t even been convicted yet, and the Dawson family is already so eager to push me out!”

Luke’s expression changed. “What nonsense are you talking about? We don’t have any ulterior motives!”

“Really?”

Holly said, “Ever since I joined the Special Division, you’ve been targeting me. You think you’ve finally caught me on something, don’t you? But Luke, you and I are on the same level; you don’t have the authority to fire me!”

She looked at the surrounding staff. “If you want to drive the Sims family out, just say it outright. We’re not people who cling to power and status; there’s no need to use such methods!”

Luke was speechless.

Before he could speak, a calm voice rang out. “Holly, I’ll have to disagree.”

Everyone turned around, only to see a middle-aged man striding over. His face bore a smile, yet his eyes concealed a sense of authority, like a smiling tiger, not to be underestimated.

Seeing the newcomer, Luke called out, “Dad!”

Keira instantly understood; the man was the deputy head of the Special Division, Luke’s father. He was the one who had always wanted to take old Mr. Sims’s place after his retirement. Holly had told her about him; this man was Brian Dawson.

Hearing Luke, Brian spoke in a solemn tone. “In the company, you should call people by their official title!”

“Yes, Director Dawson.”

Luke quickly corrected himself.

With the Special Division’s exceptional status, it was referred to as a company, and the staff was ranked mostly the same as in regular companies. Thus, the leaders were called directors.

When Holly heard this, she countered, “Director Dawson? Shouldn’t it be Deputy Director Dawson?”

Luke raised his chin. “After your grandpa ran into trouble, the higher-ups asked my dad to take over temporarily, so now, my dad is the director here!”

Holly retorted, “The formal appointment hasn’t been issued yet, and you’re already so impatient?”

Luke wanted to say more, but Brian said, “Holly is right. For now, you should still call him Deputy Director Dawson.”

Luke pouted and nodded.

It was only then that Brian looked toward Holly. “Little Holly, don’t worry. Everyone has seen how your grandfather has handled things over the years. Rest assured, our company will never condemn a good person!”

Holly’s expression relaxed somewhat, but then she heard Brian continue, “But we’ll definitely not let a bad person go! Especially for charges of espionage! Our company has zero tolerance for that crime. Once verified, I’m afraid even you, Little Holly, may be affected. Although there’s no longer a punishment of guilt by association, the crime certainly relates to the family…”

Holly suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She wanted to say something but found herself unable to speak. Luke then said, “Deputy Director Dawson… I mean, I want to file a report right now. Holly acted for personal gain under the guise of official duty! The suspect we caught yesterday was detained in the interrogation room, and this woman…”

Luke pointed to Keira. “She’s an enemy of Vera South; by rights, as the plaintiff, she shouldn’t have met with Vera South officially. However, not only did Holly allow them to meet, but she also lent the interrogation room to her, letting her interrogate Vera South. Isn’t this equivalent to setting up a private court?”

Holly narrowed her eyes.

Brian then looked over to Holly. “Little Holly, you’d better explain yourself. Surely, there’s no such thing, right? As the granddaughter of Mr. Sims, you should maintain your integrity and wouldn’t do such a thing, correct?”

Holly took a deep breath.

Seeing this, Keira scoffed.

This father and son duo, what a perfect act they’ve put together.

She stared at them and suddenly said, “Who says Holly acted for personal gain under the guise of official duty?”

Luke cried out, “How is it not acting for personal gain under the guise of official duty? Furthermore, when she went to the Martin family to arrest someone yesterday, I found out that she even called in people from the Freeman Sect…”

Luke looked at Brian. “Deputy Director Dawson, the Freeman Sect is our strongest external support. We only seek their help for executing special missions.

“But Holly casually summoned their people, completely disregarding the Freeman Sect, behaving as if they were subordinates to our Special Division, which is downright disrespectful to them!

“The Freeman Sect and the Special Division complement each other, and their Sect Leader holds a position similar to old Mr. Sims.

“Today, the Freeman Sect submitted a new list. Their Sect Leader is old and doesn’t fuss over things with us younger folks, but their senior sister is now back, and this matter is definitely going to be pursued.

“Holly, I wonder how you’re going to explain this to the Freeman Sect!”

After Luke finished, a gloating look appeared on his face.

Holly narrowed her eyes, but someone couldn’t help but speak up for her, “Holly is definitely not that kind of person. If she took people from the Freeman Sect to arrest someone, that person must have some very important secret…”

Luke retorted, “Is that so? What secret? When the Special Division needs to use people from the Freeman Sect to capture important criminals, it requires layers of approval. I just want to ask Holly, who gave the secret order to mobilize the Freeman Sect?”

He pointed straight at Keira again. “And who is this person? Why does she have the right to enter the Special Division and casually interrogate criminals?!”

Hearing his question, Holly couldn’t help but laugh.

Keira stepped forward. “Holly didn’t summon the people from the Freeman Sect. I did.”

At this revelation, Luke looked incredulous. “You?”
