642 Chapter 641 Keira didn’t continue arguing with Erin but turned her attention to Uncle Olsen. Uncle Olsen nodded and said, “Miss Martin, since you enjoy our cuisine, why not stay with us for a few more days?” His intention was to keep her around to prevent any trouble. Erin feigned innocence. “Oh, yes, Uncle Olsen! I’d love to try roast duck, roasted whole lamb, and that famous Crera stew. I’ve heard so much about it while abroad…” Seeing her eager response, Keira and Lewis left immediately.

Lewis asked, “Does it seem like Erin doesn’t want to get involved in the Special Division’s affairs?” Keira replied, “Now that old Mr. Sims is in custody if his crime is confirmed, Brian Dawson will likely take over. Since Erin has a mole in Dawson’s camp, she’ll definitely act later. Even if she stays here, she can still give orders.” Lewis inquired, “So, the reason for detaining her is…” Keira said, “I’m worried she might take drastic measures, like killing people to silence them. Keeping her here will make her more cautious. Her willingness to stay shows she understands my intentions.” Lewis paused. Keira continued, “Even if she wasn’t involved in past incidents, remember the fire at my sister’s villa? If it weren’t for the basement Keera prepared and my warnings to Mary, the consequences could have been severe.” Lewis responded, “Still, the outcome was positive. After that fire, Mary and Ellis reconciled, and the Davis family stabilized their cooperation with us. Otherwise, you would have had to choose between your best friend and the Davis family.” Keira stopped, surprised. “What do you mean?” Lewis didn’t believe in small talk. His words were deliberate. He said, “Don’t you find these events a bit too coincidental?” Keira was surprised. Lewis said, “For example, Fox lured Mrs. Spencer to kill Nara, but Austin intervened and saved her. Nara then reconciled with the Gill family, making you an honored guest. Similarly, regarding the fire at Mary’s place, have you noticed that in every incident Fox has been involved in, the ultimate beneficiary seems to be you?” Keira was stunned. As they reached the parking lot and got into the car, Lewis drove toward the Special Division. Keira remained deep in thought. It wasn’t until they arrived at the Special Division that she said, “I understand now.” Lewis didn’t press further but glanced at Holly, who was pacing anxiously at the entrance. Seeing their car, Holly rushed over. Keira got out and asked, “How is your grandfather?” Holly’s eyes were red, and she was trembling slightly. She stammered, “He’s been detained in the Special Division in his own office. They said he’ll stay there while they figure out what to do next…” Holly looked at Keira. “Keira, I’m not afraid of being implicated or even arrested. I just can’t believe Grandfather would do this!” Keira patted her shoulder. “Don’t panic. First, tell me exactly what happened.” Holly wiped her tears and said, “The issue is related to Grandfather’s connection with Barry Brandt, the renowned physicist from Country M.” Keira was surprised. “Barry Brandt? I remember him.” Holly continued, “Barry Brandt studied in Crera before moving abroad for graduate studies and his doctorate. He now has his own office and students in Country M. During an interview, a report asked him why he didn’t come back, and he criticized Crera despite the country’s role in his education…” Years ago, this had been a major scandal. Back then, Keira and Holly were still in middle school. Holly had been the one to tell Keira about Barry Brandt. At the time, Holly was furious and had exclaimed, “Ungrateful wretch! Blinded by the wealth of Country M, he’s forgotten why Crera sent him abroad to study. He claims Crera has treated him poorly, but if it weren’t for Crera, he wouldn’t have had the chance to study abroad at all. What an ungrateful cur!” Barry Brandt had trained many physics graduates but refused to let them return to Crera. It drew widespread criticism. Even his family members were furious. Keira asked, “What does this have to do with your grandfather?” Holly took a deep breath. “Grandfather is accused of being closely associated with Brandt and providing him with Crera’s latest technology, which aided his research. The evidence includes records of their correspondence and substantial financial transfers…” Holly’s eyes filled with tears again. “I can’t believe my grandfather would do this!” Her voice cracked with despair. “But Grandfather admitted it. Keira, what’s going on? Grandfather always despised such people. Were all those years of patriotism just a façade?”
