The Hidden Duke Heir

Chap 07

"Mr. Samuel! I didn't think you could treat someone this badly. You're the head of the university; you should have checked the details first before calling the police. What if the allegations aren't true? You'll definitely be embarrassed!"

Daniel, who had been silent and watching, couldn't hold back. He couldn't accept that his best friend was imprisoned because of Deon's accusations. He knew that Deon must have just made it up about the theft of the money.

"Euna is in the same group as Deon, Sir. It must have been Deon who asked Euna to slander Charles!"

"Heh, do you think I'm so low that I have to slander a poor person like him? Other than him, who else can steal in our class? Only him! He's the only poor person who got into this university. As for the others? Their parents are businessmen! There can't be anyone else stealing that money besides him!" Deon pointed at Charles' face, his breath ragged and his eyes bulging.

"You're too much, Deon! I don't want to fight with you anymore, especially not on campus. I may be poor, but I'm not a thief like you."

"What do you mean, you're accusing me of stealing?"

"I was right, wasn't I? You're a thief, Deon. You stole my girlfriend, didn't you?" Charles grinned; his initial intention of not wanting to cause trouble on campus seemed untenable. If he continued giving in, Deon would insult him even more.

Deon was silent; his face flushed with embarrassment as some of the students watching them heard and finally knew that he had snatched Isabella from Charles. That could ruin Deon's reputation in the eyes of the women.

"Why the silence? Wasn't I right? You've had a thieving nature for a long time, Deon. Don't be so eager to accuse others of stealing when you yourself are a thief!"

Right after Charles said that Deon immediately hit him hard in the face. After that, Deon beats other parts of Charles' body. He also kicked and stomped on Charles' body in anger.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Daniel came forward; he pushed Deon uniquely away from Charles.

"You dare push me? Huh?" Daniel came forward again; he pulled Daniel's shirt and wanted to hit him. Luckily Daniel had time to dodge and hit Deon back.

"Akh! Fuck you! You're all poor people! You're all pests! Get out of this world!"

Deon went crazy, he again tried to hit Daniel, but Isabella held his hand back.

"Calm down, honey. Soon the police will come. Just report the two of them for violence. I'm sure everyone here will support you."

After hearing Isabella's advice, Deon finally shuts up. "You're right, honey. My hands are too pure to touch trash like them."

Not long after their argument, three policemen came to the university. The presence of the three policemen provoked curiosity from the students.

Some students followed the policemen who went to the university president's room. All of them were waiting with their hearts racing, especially Charles. Although he had not been proven to have stolen Euna's money, he was sure that with Deon's wealth and his family's reputation, the police would immediately believe Deon's words.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Samuel." One of the higher-ranking policemen greeted Samuel. The man's name was Tony. Samuel and Tony had been friends for a long time, so he had come to the knowledge university to meet his old friend.

"Tony, it's lucky that you came here yourself."

"I wanted to see you at once. By the way, what's going on? One of the guys called and said that there was a theft here."

Samuel nodded. "Yes, Tony. The one who called you earlier was Deon. You must know him, right?" Samuel pointed at Deon.

"Yes, Sir. I called you. There is a thief here, Sir. He has stolen our classmate Euna's 20 thousand dollars." Deon explained.

"I didn't steal, Sir. They don't even have evidence, but they're accusing me! I don't accept it, Sir!" Charles said.

Tony immediately looked at Charles, and his forehead furrowed when he saw that his clothes differed greatly from the other students. The only clothes he was wearing were a faded-colored shirt and cloth pants. Also, the shoes Charles was wearing were not branded shoes.

"You?" Negative thoughts instantly filled Tony's brain.

"Get him!" Tony gave orders to his two subordinates.

Charles, who heard the order, immediately looked at Tony in disbelief. How could he not? The one who gave the order was a police officer with a fairly high rank. How could a law officer judge someone just by their clothes?

"Don't joke, Sir! I don't accept being treated like this! You have no evidence to arrest me!"

"I don't need to look for evidence to arrest you. From your clothes alone, you can tell that you're a person who's short of money. So it must have been you who stole the money."

Charles' eyes widened at Tony's opinion. He felt like cursing Tony's brain, which he considered useless.

"Hurry up and take him! I don't have much time to deal with this brat."

Charles was even more stunned when his body, already injured after being beaten by Deon, was immediately dragged by two policemen out of the university leadership room.

"Sir! You can't just arrest my friend! You have no evidence!" Daniel tried to block the two policemen who were dragging Charles.

"Tsk, Bastian! Jeremy! Take him to the car. Let me check and look for evidence in his bag."

Jeremy and Bastian nodded. They both dragged Charles to the police car in the university parking lot. The students who saw the incident started cheering for Charles. They were even more convinced that poor people didn't deserve to study at the university.

"Huuu! You thief!"

"Poor people can't be given opportunities like him. It's good to be given the opportunity to study at a renowned university, but instead, choose to steal other people's money. Tsk, tsk."

That's how the students scoffed. They accompanied Charles to the parking lot, including Tony, Deon, Isabella, Deon, and Samuel.

"Sir, you can't do this. You have to have evidence to arrest someone." Again and again, Daniel tried to save Charles.

Tony, annoyed by Daniel's words, immediately stopped his steps. He looked sharply at Daniel and said, "You want evidence? Okay."

Tony immediately unzipped Charles' bag in front of everyone. His hands searched for the stolen money in the bag, but he found nothing.

"No need for proof! Just looking at you and your friend's clothes, I already know that you guys are thieves!" Tony said quickly to cover his nervousness at not finding anything in Charles' bag.

"Jeremy! Arrest this guy too. It looks like they're a gang."

"Uh, what the hell! You have no evidence! Hey, let me go!" Daniel rebelled as Jeremy tried to wrap his body around him.

Seeing Jeremy struggling to hold Daniel, Tony took the initiative to help. He threw Charles' bag on the floor and kicked Daniel in the knee. Instantly, Daniel fell while screaming in pain.

Along with Daniel's body falling to the floor, Tony's eyes saw something coming out of the side pocket of Charles' bag that he had just thrown. The object looked shiny and immediately caught the attention of everyone who was watching the bag.

"Take them!" Tony commanded. After that, he immediately picked up Charles' bag, and his eyes widened when he realized what he was holding.

"T-this?"

Tony looked at the battered Charles and the object in turn. A few seconds later, he knelt and apologized with a trembling body to Charles.

"So-sorry, Mr. Charles. Please forgive my mistake in daring to arrest you."

Everyone who saw the incident was immediately confused. They didn't understand why Tony was kneeling and apologizing. They didn't understand why Tony had to do that.

"Sir! Why are you kneeling? Hurry up and arrest him, Sir! He's a thief!"

Hearing Deon's words, Tony immediately got up from kneeling and snapped at the man. "Shut up! Don't carelessly accuse people. Don't let your attitude get you into big trouble later!"

"But he's a thief, sir!"

"Shut up!"
