The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 192

Christopher paused. “You mean…”

Sophia said,” The stalking, threats… I don’t think it’s that easy. Maybe there’s something else.”

She didn’t say much. After all, she couldn’t handle such things.

When Sophia and Benjamin went out, they met Nicole’s assistant. She had just made a statement and came out. Her eyes were red, and she had obviously cried.

Sophia talked to her before she knew she called the police.

“Nicole had a show today, so I went to pick her this morning, but she neither opened the door nor answered my call. She had a bad temper and she often did that. I was angry but couldn’t do anything about it. Later, the TV station called to tell me that Nicole texted them that she was not feeling well and would not attend the show. I called her again, but she didn’t answer…” The assistant said, weeping again. “I thought she might have gone to the hospital alone.”

After a pause, she continued, “At more than ten o’clock, I called her again, but she still didn’t answer. I feel something was wrong. If she fainted from illness at home, and no one was there taking care of her, it would delay the treatment. I went to the guard. Nicole didn’t often live in this house and sometimes forgot her key, so she put a spare key in the doorman’s room. I know the guard well. He took me to her house… Then I found that…”

She cried again, “I should have entered earlier… Maybe I can save her…”

Sophia comforted her and asked, “Well, do you know how she died?”

The assistant said, “I didn’t dare to take a close look at her, but there seemed to be fingerprints on her neck, so she might have been strangled to death.”

Benjamin chimed in, “No wonder the police asked me to take a fingerprint when I came in. Then the murderer should be found soon, right?”

The assistant said, “I think so… I hope they catch the murderer soon.”

She said no more, but got into her car and drove away.

Sophia slightly frowned as she watched the car went away.

According to the assistant, she must have guessed who the killer was. It was just that she was not familiar with Sophia, so she would not tell her too much.

With the fingerprints left by the murderer, the case was expected to be solved in a few days. She didn’t need to worry about it.

When they got out of the police station, a luxury car suddenly stopped in front of Sophia.

The window rolled down, and Eddie stuck his head out of the car. “Miss Green, may I have the honor to drive you home?”

Sophia didn’t know him well, but he was one of the suspects in the lab fire, and she wanted to talk to him to see if she could get something from him. He might not be honest with her, but there might be some flaws.

Benjamin came over and said, “Then take with…”

Eddie said, “Forget about it. Walk back on your own.”

Benjamin didn’t know what to say.

Sophia left Benjamin there and left in Eddie’s car. After getting in the car, she asked, “Mr. Patton, how do you know I’m here?”

Eddie proudly said, “I am the king here. My industry covers the whole city. Everyone knows me. It’s a piece of cake to find you.”

Sophia was surprised, “Why do you find me?”

Eddie said, “I appreciate you, the number one high achiever online. I can’t let you be played with by some rich kid.”

Sophia understood.

It turned out that he came to her because he wanted to fight Albert.

In this way, Eddie might know everything that happened in Plain.

She asked, “Then do you know Nicole…”

“The star? What’s wrong with her?”

“Nothing.”

It sounded like Eddie didn’t know Nicole had been killed. He should not have much to do with Nicole and would not inquire about such things.

“May I have the honor to buy you a cup of coffee?” Eddie said. “Since you’re here, I should do the honors.”

Sophia thought about it and nodded to agree. She wanted to stay longer with Eddie, so she could ask more about what she wanted to know.

Eddie pulled up to a fancy coffee shop, and the staff came to help him park. He went to the coffee shop with Sophia, ordered two cups of coffee and plates of cookies.

While drinking coffee, Eddie kept telling Sophia what an abominable person Albert was, hoping she would stay away from him.

Eddie said, “I asked someone to investigate Albert. He fell in love with a famous professor two years ago. Same as you, the girl was named Sophia. He worked as her assistant for two years! Oh, god, he did love her. Later, that girl died in an accident, and he came to you… I think he must take you as that girl. He definitely doesn’t like you.”

Sophia was confused.

She didn’t think Albert ever loved her. Was he working as her assistant to pursue her? Who spread the rumor? She was with Albert for two years and never thought he liked her.

Instead of continuing with the topic, she asked, “I’ve heard of Professor Sophia, and I’m interested in her because of the same name. I have read one news that… your father was sent to prison by her, right? Do you hate her? ”

She knew she should not say that. But since they talked about it, she didn’t want to miss the opportunity.

Eddie was silent for a moment and nodded. “Of course… If she hadn’t found out the truth, I would have… Forget about it. She was dead anyway.”

Hearing that, Sophia stopped talking about it and chatted casually with him about something else. After drinking coffee, Eddie took Sophia to aunt Mcdowell’s house.

“Remember, don’t fall for that rich guy. He has no sincerity. And the detective, who is not a good man. Just ignore him,” Eddie told her again and again before he left.

“Yeah.”

These were all the people he hated.

It was more than four o’clock. If Sophia went home at this time, she would arrive at midnight. It was quite inconvenient. So, she decided to stay at aunt Mcdowell’s house for one night and return early the next morning.

Aunt Mcdowell was very happy and received her well.

To show her gratitude, Sophia went to Lucas after dinner to help him with his homework.
