650 Chapter 649
Erin continued with a cheery smile, âWeâve all learned to be toughâthat includes your sister. Donât think too highly of her. If she wasnât hard-hearted, would she have let Amy suffer at home with such a father and grandmother?â
Keira furrowed her brows.
Erin went on, âThe first step to becoming the heir of the South family is learning how to always make the right choices!
âOld Mr. Sims has sacrificed a lot, but those were his choices. If you want to rescue your mother, you should ignore this matter and use your status as the senior sister of the Freeman Sect and the positive impression youâve just made at Brianâs to solidify your position within the Special Division and increase everyoneâs approval of you!
âIf I were you, Iâd be the first to rush up and spit! That way, youâd quickly gain their approval. You wonât need to waste so much effort! These are all experiences from someone whoâs been through it all. Otherwise, you might find it very difficult to gain the Special Divisionâs approval, and if thatâs the case, then you might as well submit to me obediently, just like your sister!â
Having said all this, Erin continued gnawing on a roasted rib, her little mouth glistening with oil, looking innocent and flawless.
Keira stared intently at the video, suddenly understanding Erinâs purpose.
Erin told her that piece of information on purpose, just to make her go against her conscience and be the first one to act.
It was deliberate!
Erin let this story out to prevent Keira from gaining the support of the Special DivisionâŠ
Keira took a deep breath.
Erin continued, âHowever, itâs hard to be tough. Weâve been trained by our families from a young age to be selfish and never meddle in othersâ affairs. With your personality, I fear you wonât be able to do this! What a pity, you donât even qualify to compete for the position of heir! After all, sheâs your best friend, isnât she?â
At this point, she giggled, âKeira, how will you choose?
âIf you defend Holly and old Mr. Sims, then youâve lost this competition. If you donât defend them, you still have a chance to win.â
Holly wanted to say more, but old Mr. Sims sighed. âBesides, it was my mistake, and I should be the one to bear it.â
Holly was stunned and didnât move.
Leaning on his cane, old Mr. Sims slowly made his way through the crowd.
He approached Brian.
Brian stared at him for a long while, âHector, if you were short on money, you could have told me, but you shouldnât have betrayed your country for the enemy! You know my father died in the tech station, and the thing I hate the most is a spy! Donât blame me for this!â
After that, he cleared his throat and then spat viciously at old Mr. Sims!
Old Mr. Sims closed his eyes.
But inside, he trembled.
Despite having experienced a lot, this kind of humiliation was truly hard to acceptâŠ
But the anticipated sticky, disgusting substance didnât land on him. Instead, he felt a gust of wind, and upon opening his eyes, he saw Keiraâs jacket had been thrown at him, blocking his face and shielding him from Brianâs spit.
Old Mr. Sims was taken aback and immediately looked anxiously at Keira.
Keiraâs eyes were resolute as she stepped forward.
Through the Bluetooth earpiece connected to her phone, Erin shouted, âHey, Keira, have you gone mad?! Donât go! YouâŠâ
The words were cut off as Keira had already disconnected the call.
Keira walked up to old Mr. Sims and positioned herself right in front of him, her gaze piercing as she looked at the crowd. âAs long as Iâm here, no one is going to touch either Mr. Sims or Holly!â
