Her words left everyone stunned.
Old Mr. Sims furrowed his brows even deeper.
Holly turned to Keira with concern. "Keira, don't get involved. This isn't your fight..."
Keira met their gazes firmly. "How can it not concern me? I'm the senior sister of the Freeman Sect. What happens in the Special Division affects me! I have a right to speak up."
She addressed the crowd, "I don't care what Mr. Sims has done. Holly is my friend, and as long as I'm here, I won't let you mistreat her or Mr. Sims!"
Her stance angered those present.
Although Keira had recently helped the Special Division, and they felt grateful toward her, her actions now made many question her loyalty.
Brian frowned. "Senior Sister, we respect you, but how can you defend a spy?"
"Exactly, are you his accomplice? Did he bribe you?"
"These are the Special Division's rules; you can't just ignore them!"
