Chapter 7 I did not know exactly how chaotic things became for the Huxley family after that. Once the federal agents took them away for questioning, I returned home. The apartment we had lived in was military housing, and I had chosen every piece of furniture and decoration. However, as I packed up my belongings and looked around one last time, there was not a trace of reluctance in my heart. I had done right by everyone, and I was ready to let go. What no one knew was that the day I ended the pregnancy, I had already reached out to my old commanding officer, Beatrice. She was furious when I gave up my military career for marriage, so when she heard that I wanted to return, she was overjoyed. Soon, the federal agents released their findings. Jane, the so-called daughter of war heroes, was indeed guilty of spying. During a trip, she had fallen recklessly in love with a young Valorian guy named David Ackermann. David had repeatedly probed her with indirect questions about military matters, and Jane never suspected anything, telling him everything she knew. She had even mailed David some of the classified documents she had seen in Declan's study. At that time, she never thought her actions were wrong. She only felt happy that she was helping her beloved and receiving his praise. However, after her unexpected pregnancy, she completely lost contact with David and finally realized something was wrong. Declan had discovered her wrongdoing when he found her crying alone in secret. He could not bear for his childhood friend to go to prison, so he set his sights on me, who was also pregnant. I heard that during the federal interrogation, Declan was full of remorse, as if he truly regretted everything. "I can swear on my life that I have absolutely no connection to foreign hostile forces. I just thought Sierra was stronger than Jane, so even if she took the blame for Jane, it wouldn't matter much, and I would definitely compensate her well after she got out of prison." His statement left even the federal agent speechless. However, after a thorough investigation, Declan indeed had no contact with foreign forces. Even so, helping Jane escape punishment was still harboring a criminal. In the end, one was sentenced to two years, the other to ten years. Neither of them escaped legal consequences. In my past life, Declan gained a good reputation for righteously reporting family members when he reported me. In my new life, I similarly reaped the benefits of reporting him. Later, Beatrice helped me secure a transfer opportunity to Cranefields, where I could start my new life fresh. 1/2 Chapte +25 Bonus
