My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

This comment made old Mr. Sims pause briefly before he chuckled, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Keira cut straight to the point, "I know the truth."

Old Mr. Sims looked at her, momentarily startled. "What do you know?"

Keira replied, "I know Barry Brandt isn't a traitor, and I also know you're not a spy."

Old Mr. Sims hesitated, then gave a wry smile. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Keira stepped closer and said, "Everyone says Professor Brandt is a traitor, that he betrayed his country and will never come back. But in reality, only a few people know that he's been nurturing talent for the country all along, and he'll return home one day."

She looked at him intently. "That day might be far off, or it could be tomorrow."

Old Mr. Sims's expression changed immediately. He eyed Keira with suspicion and asked, "Who are you? How do you know these things?"

Keira responded, "It doesn't matter, nor does how I know. What's important is… I'm sorry that you've suffered."

Old Mr. Sims fell silent.

Keira continued, "I know you're just playing a part in his plan. If the act isn't convincing enough, it could attract the attention of Country M, making his return even more difficult. So, you had no choice but to accept this blame!"
