Erin's cheerful voice continued to echo through the phone, each word dripping with calculated manipulation. "We've all learned to be tough—that includes your sister. Don't think too highly of her. If she wasn't hard-hearted, would she have let Amy suffer at home with such a father and grandmother?"
Keira's brow furrowed deeply as she listened, sensing the trap being laid before her.
But Erin wasn't finished. She continued, her tone almost playful, as if discussing a game rather than matters of profound consequence. "The first step to becoming the heir of the South family is learning how to always make the right choices! Old Mr. Sims has sacrificed a lot, but those were his choices. If you want to rescue your mother, you should ignore this matter completely."
Erin leaned forward, her eyes glinting with cruel wisdom. "Use your status as the senior sister of the Freeman Sect and the positive impression you've just made at Brian's to solidify your position within the Special Division. Increase everyone's approval of you! If I were you, I'd be the first to rush up and spit! That way, you'd quickly gain their approval. You won't need to waste so much effort!"
She paused, gnawing on a roasted rib, her lips glistening with oil, looking utterly innocent despite the poison she was spreading. "These are all experiences from someone who's been through it all. Otherwise, you might find it very difficult to gain the Special Division's approval. And if that's the case, then you might as well submit to me obediently, just like your sister!"
Keira stared intently at the video feed, the pieces finally clicking into place in her mind. Erin had deliberately given her that information about Old Mr. Sims, not out of any sense of helpfulness, but to force her into a corner. She wanted Keira to go against her conscience, to be the first one to act—and in doing so, to lose the respect she had just begun to earn.
It was deliberate. All of it.
Erin continued, her voice taking on a mocking edge. "However, it's hard to be tough. We've been trained by our families from a young age to be selfish and never meddle in others' affairs. With your personality, I fear you won't be able to do this! What a pity, you don't even qualify to compete for the position of heir! After all, Holly is your best friend, isn't she?"
She giggled, the sound sending chills down Keira's spine. "Keira, how will you choose? If you defend Holly and Old Mr. Sims, then you've lost this competition. If you don't defend them, you still have a chance to win."
Keira clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Every instinct screamed at her to listen to Erin's cynical advice, to play the game the way the powerful always played it—by protecting herself first and foremost. But watching the old man step forward, watching him prepare to accept such a humiliation, she felt something rise within her that she couldn't suppress.
Old Mr. Sims had made so many contributions to the country. Even in the end, he was still trying to protect Brian, knowing full well that being labeled a spy would destroy Brian's future in the Special Division. He hadn't retired because he didn't want Brian to bear that burden. He had thought of everyone else—Barry Brandt, Brian, the Special Division itself—but had never considered himself or his own children and grandchildren.
Keira knew, deep in her heart, that this man was innocent. He was selfless. He didn't deserve this.
Could she really just stand by and watch him suffer these indignities?
Her jaw tensed as Erin's mocking voice came through the phone once more. "Keira, you're not getting soft-hearted, are you?"
Keira's gaze dropped to the ground, her fists still clenched.
Then, a cry rang out across the scene. "Grandfather!"
Holly ran to Old Mr. Sims, tears streaming down her face. "Let me replace my grandfather! He's old—if he takes this punishment, he'll collapse!"
Her desperate pleas didn't soften the crowd's hearts. Instead, Brian reprimanded her harshly. "Holly, this is the rule of the Special Division! Step aside!"
But Holly refused to move, standing firm despite the overwhelming pressure.
Old Mr. Sims gently pushed her away. "Holly, move aside. What's a bit of spitting? I've been through much worse in my childhood..."
Holly wanted to argue, but the old man sighed deeply. "Besides, it was my mistake, and I should be the one to bear it."
Stunned and heartbroken, Holly could only watch as her grandfather, leaning heavily on his cane, slowly made his way through the crowd toward Brian.
Brian stared at the old man for a long, heavy moment. "Hector, if you were short on money, you could have told me. But you shouldn't have betrayed your country for the enemy! You know my father died in the tech station. The thing I hate most is a spy! Don't blame me for this!"
With that, Brian cleared his throat and prepared to spit—a final, degrading act of humiliation.
Old Mr. Sims closed his eyes. Despite all his years and all his experience, this kind of public disgrace was almost too much to bear. He braced himself for the sticky, disgusting sensation that would follow.
But it never came.
Instead, he felt a rush of wind, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Keira's jacket had been thrown at him, blocking his face and shielding him from Brian's contempt.
Old Mr. Sims was shocked. He looked anxiously at Keira.
Her eyes were resolute. She had made her decision.
Through the Bluetooth earpiece, Erin's frantic voice screamed, "Hey, Keira, have you gone mad?! Don't go! You..."
The words were cut off as Keira disconnected the call.
She walked forward, positioning herself directly in front of Old Mr. Sims, her gaze piercing as she faced the crowd. Her voice rang out, clear and unwavering:
"As long as I'm here, no one is going to touch either Mr. Sims or Holly!"

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating**
Oh my goodness, what a powerful and emotional chapter! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, feeling every ounce of Keira's internal struggle. Erin's manipulation was masterfully written—she knew exactly which buttons to push, and her calm, cheerful delivery of such cold-hearted advice was genuinely chilling. But watching Keira make her choice, watching her choose her conscience over power and position... that was absolutely beautiful. It shows true growth and strength of character. The moment she threw her jacket to shield Old Mr. Sims and disconnected the call gave me chills. Keira has proven that she will never compromise her integrity, no matter the cost. This chapter was incredibly well-crafted, balancing tension, emotion, and character development perfectly.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction**
I believe the next chapter is going to be explosive! Keira has now openly defied Brian and the entire Special Division system to protect Old Mr. Sims and Holly. This will certainly create massive waves. Erin is going to be furious, and Brian's reaction will be critical—will he respect Keira's courage, or will he punish her for interfering? I also suspect that Holly's loyalty to Keira will deepen even further after this moment. But the biggest question is: what price will Keira have to pay for choosing her conscience? And will the truth about Old Mr. Sims's innocence ever come to light? I can't wait to find out!
