Chapter 862 - Dont Let Father Know (1/2)
Everyone present was stunned to see what had just happened. It all happened so fast and was totally unexpected.
”Gosh ... are you all right?” Nicolae immediately rushed towards Vega, who was standing with one foot on Charles's waist while the boy was growling in pain. He quickly checked on his daughter to make sure the girl was okay.
As he appeared in the middle of the circle, all the girls in the crowd let out muffled shrieks in unison. They did not expect such a handsome and cool man appeared suddenly like a knight in shining armor, wanting to protect Vega.
”She's fine! I'm the one who's hurt ...!” Charles's voice cracked as he held back his anger. ”Daaddd....! Please help me ...”
Ron Gilbert immediately helped his son get up and cursed the annoying little bitch who hurt his beloved son.
Vega, who had released her foot from Charles, immediately pulled Nicolae's hand and approached Altair. Her face looked astonished.
”Why don't you fight? If you didn't defend yourself, you would be injured ...” she said, checking Altair's cheek that looked reddish after being punched by Charles. ”I will not care for you if you get hurt.”
Altair just grinned and shook his head. ”I am alright.”
Ron Gilbert was really angry and immediately took his phone to contact the police station.
”You rascals, how dare you to hurt my son... You will pay for this,” he said furiously.
Nicolae approached Ron and touched his shoulder. ”Please, let's just end this here. I am begging you. If you want to continue with this problem, even though your son is at fault, you will also face the consequences.”
Ron brushed off Nicolae's hand and kept talking on the phone. ”Yes, good afternoon, Officer. I want to report an assault that occurred at George Washington High School. The address is at ...”
He proudly called the police and showed a threatening attitude in front of everyone. There were some whispers among the crowd when they saw what happened. Most people seemed sorry for Altair who would be arrested by the police. They knew, with his influence, Ron Gilbert would send him to jail for this fight.
”I'm sorry, Tatiana ... it seems like today I have to skip group work at your house ...” Vega complained as she heard the police siren from the distance. It's too late to avoid police involvement. Maybe they should settle things with Charles once and for all.
Ugh ... what should we do? If this escalated, Altair's and my disguise as regular people would be uncovered, Vega thought to herself. She didn't like the possibility.
Tatiana looked very worried and did not care about their group work.
”It's okay, Vega. You take care of your brother first. I'll do your part of the assignment.” She had seen Nicolae several times when she came to Vega's house to do homework together. However, she couldn't help blush when she saw him again. In her opinion, Nicolae was more handsome than a professional model. She shyly greeted him. ”Good day, Mr. Medici ... How are you?”
Nicolae greeted Tatiana kindly, as usual. ”Hello, Tatiana. My news is not very good, because ... this.”
He spread his arms to point at Altair and Charles, referring to the commotion that just happened.
”Oh .. right. I understand. Hopefully, everything will be fine,” Tatiana said with an anxious face. She was Vega's seatmate for the past semester, and their relationship was quite good. She did not want to see Vega and Altair get into trouble.
”Thank you,” Nicolae nodded. He then put his arms around Altair and Vega together and said goodbye to some of the teachers who were present in the yard. ”Dear teachers, we will go home first. These children must have lunch. If the police come here looking for us, please give them our address. Thank you.”
