Brian was stunned, and he stared at the man in disbelief. "What did you just say?"
Even Holly was at a loss for words.
Luke frowned.
The man immediately rushed forward, handing them his phone.
On the screen was a video of Professor Barry Brandt being interviewed, specifically the part where he mentioned old Mr. Sims.
"Mr. Sims came to me and asked, 'Are you willing to dedicate twenty years of your life for your country?' We set up a massive operation, a plan so intricate it fooled everyone! Now people are calling him a spy because he funded me, and I gave him money… Yes, I did send him money, but it was because I wanted to transfer my earnings from overseas back home. Under the guise of purchasing domestic advanced technology, I wired the money to him and tricked everyone. I'm back now—not only to clear my name but to clear Mr. Sims' as well!"
The weight of the interview hit everyone like a tidal wave.
