“Bang.”
Gabriel was not prepared for the push and fell to the ground. He looked at Steve in confusion.
The whole audience was in an uproar after this minor accident.
Enrico’s eyes darkened, and he stood up from his seat. Paige had already stood up, and the two of them walked quickly forward.
“Ouch, my Steve…”
Sheryl hurriedly stood up, rushing down the hall faster than her son and daughter-in-law.
The staff present hurriedly pulled Steve away, and a teacher helped Gabriel up from the ground, asking him if he was okay. Gabriel touched his bottom and then handed the teacher the notebook in his hand.
The teacher took it and looked at it, and it was again all correct.
But this was not the time to care about grades. He helped Gabriel up with one hand and looked at Steve, “Steve, why did you push Gabriel?”
Steve is not much older than Gabriel, and the push was a completely involuntary reaction. After pushing Gabriel, he knew he had made a mistake, and his whole small body was shaking with excitement.
Now all the adults gathered around, and their eyes were all on him, each with an accusing look.
Steve’s eyes suddenly turned red, and he pointed at the confused Gabriel and yelled, “You’re doing the questions wrong!
The teacher frowned and said, “Gabriel answered all the questions correctly.”
Seeing this, a staff member muttered, “I guess it’s because he saw someone else’s child do it, he’s not convinced, and he can’t lose.”
“Nonsense! Nonsense! You’re talking nonsense!”
Steve jumped up excitedly, pushed past the staff member, and rushed towards Gabriel, “My grandmother said you’re stupid! You’re a fool! You just have a rich mommy! You’re nothing special! You’re a fool!”
Before his childish fingers could poke Gabriel in the face, they were caught in a large hand.
Steve looked up in alarm and saw an incredibly tall man standing there. Beneath the cap, a pair of dark grey eyes stared at him coldly and without emotion.
“…”
Steve had never seen such eyes before, and he was so scared that he almost fainted on the spot, about to kneel down.
“Ouch, what are you doing? You want to break my grandson’s hand!”
A sharp voice came.
Sheryl rushed over in small steps, picked Steve up in her arms, and held his hand, her heart breaking with pain. “My Steve, how are your fingers? Do they hurt? Grandma will blow on them, Grandma will blow on them…”
Paige watched this scene unfold, walked up to Gabriel and pulled him in front of her, then looked coldly at Sheryl, “He was the one who wanted to hit my son, and my husband stopped him. You say your grandson is hurt, and I say my son is hurt too. Why don’t we go to the hospital right now and get our injuries checked?”
“Mrs. Gustin, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s our child’s fault.”
Sheryl’s son and daughter-in-law were shocked by this scene and hurriedly came forward, bowing and bowing to Paige, apologizing desperately, “Take Gabriel to the hospital to get checked up. We’ll pay for all the expenses. We’ll do it.”
“What are you apologizing for!” Sheryl’s voice was particularly shrill.
As early as when Gabriel won first place in a number of individual subjects, she was unhappy. Now, seeing the man holding Steve’s hand, she simply couldn’t stand it. Hugging her child in one arm, she pointed at Paige and said, “My Steve was right. This child is stupid in ordinary times. Just ask anyone in our community. They all know that this child has never been to school for a single day. How has he suddenly become so smart?”
At the sound of this, the residents of the community who had wanted to come forward and watch the fun silently stepped back.
Paige was about to speak when Sheryl’s mouth simply wouldn’t give her any space and she continued to point at her, saying, “It must be you. You have connections everywhere, and you got the test questions in advance! You taught your child to cheat!”
One hand grabbed Paige’s wrist.
She was pulled back a step, and Enrico stood in front of her, his voice dripping with menace, “If you point your finger at me again, I’ll call a lawyer immediately.”
There were cameras everywhere, so Enrico spoke in a much more tactful manner.
But Sheryl did not know how to be tactful, her eyes glaring hatefully at Enrico, “Did I say something wrong? Do you even have a say here? You’re just a gigolo, everyone in the entire neighborhood knows that Paige cheated on you, and you still dare to show off here!”
“You’re the one talking nonsense! My daddy is not a gigolo!”
Gabriel stood in front of Paige and also became angry, shouting out.
His daddy is not a mommy’s boy!
“…”
Paige?
Everyone was shocked? Is that name really…?
Everyone subconsciously looked at Paige, and Paige stopped pretending. She reached out and removed her mask, revealing a face with a pure and innocent expression.
This time, everyone at the scene was shocked. The audience members who could still sit down couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up to peer over.
The organizer, seeing that such a big shot was scared out of his wits, hurriedly called the security guards to come in.
“You saw it, she is Paige, a very important figure, and she actually rigged the competition just to embellish her son a little!”
Sheryl, acting like a righteous person, waved her hand, “I’m going to make a big deal out of this today, so that your husband at The Capital can see that his wife is cheating on him at the border!”
“Who are you calling a cheater?”
A cold and resolute voice sounded.
Enrico stood in front of Paige, took off his hat and slammed it onto the ground, then removed his mask to reveal a handsome and peerless face.
The three of them stood together, dazzling in the spotlight.
“…”
There was silence, everyone was stunned.
The country’s largest chaebol had come to their border!
“…”
Sheryl was completely dumbfounded and looked at Enrico blankly.
Paige had been back in the community for just a few days, and no one had ever seen Enrico before. Naturally, she thought that Paige had gone to that house to steal someone, and never imagined that the man was Enrico.
Paige stood there, looking down at the hand Enrico was holding on her wrist. His fingers were clenched, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were about to burst out.
She could feel his extreme restraint.
She even suspected that if Sheryl were not an old lady with no strength, he would have gone up and split the person in half.
Paige also discovered that it was impossible to have a normal confrontation with someone like Sheryl who talked nonsense, so she took out her mobile phone from Enrico’s pocket and called Kevin, saying directly, “Help me find a lawyer.”
Upon hearing this, Sheryl panicked.
But she was obviously very good at the tantrum and rolling around the floor routine, so when she saw that the situation was not going her way, she hugged Steve and sat on the floor, crying and wailing, “My poor Steve really has a hard life. He was born inferior and can only be used as a stepping stone for others. Some people, taking advantage of their power and influence, come to the border to bully old women and children. Oh my god… is there still justice in this world?”
