The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 197

They quarreled, and he strangled her on impulse.

Then he took Nicole’s phone and ran away. We found out his location through the text message he sent to the TV station under the guise of Nicole, but he had dropped the phone and escaped. We don’t know where he is now.”

Sophia frowned, “That means the one who stalked and threatened Nicole was Joseph, right?”

Christopher said, “I’m not sure. There is no evidence of it.”

Sophia thought for a moment and asked, “There are guards in Nicole’s neighborhood, right? Why did they allow Joseph in? Even if Joseph slipped into Nicole’s neighborhood, why would Nicole let him in her house? That’s strange.”

“We find out that it was Nicole who told the guard to let Joseph in. And she asked the guard not to tell anyone about it. If it had not been for the accident, the guard would not have told anyone. After all, it was about the privacy of a star. He came with a mask and hat, and we could not see his face at all. He just did what Nicole told him to do and let Joseph in without thinking much,” said Christopher.

He paused and continued, “There is no evidence that Nicole was still in touch with Joseph, but we think she did. That was why she had an appointment with him. She was a public figure. Afraid of being photographed, she asked Joseph to dress up. It was only after an argument between the two that Joseph accidentally killed her. From the scene, it was an impulse killing, not a deliberate one.”

With Christopher’s explanation, things seemed clear. The whole incident was the emotional entanglement between Nicole and his ex-boyfriend. They had an argument, and the man killed the girl on impulse, and there was the tragedy.

Sophia asked again, “There is one point I don’t understand. Why did Nicole go to a detective? If she knew it was her ex-boyfriend, she would not go to Mr. Terry in Africa, would she? Mr. Terry is an internationally renowned detective, and he didn’t usually take small cases. Even if he takes it, the charge will be very high.”

Christopher said, “You’re so thoughtful. We’ve thought about that. We speculate that Joseph did stalk and threaten her. That’s why she went to the detective. But later she might have discovered that the stalker was Joseph and was relieved. When Joseph was found, he contacted Nicole and stopped stalking her. That’s why Benjamin didn’t find the stalker when he followed Nicole. But Nicole didn’t tell Benjamin about it. So, Benjamin knew nothing and kept investigating the stalker.”

Sophia nodded. Christopher’s explanation made sense, which explained why Nicole was not afraid when she took a taxi home that night.

After all, Joseph was her ex-boyfriend. They loved each other. They broke up, but Nicole was not afraid of him. It was because she relaxed her vigilance that she died tragically.

However, why didn’t she tell Benjamin to stop the investigation when she found out the whole thing? It was not much like the kind-hearted person she had always shown.

From what Sophia knew about her, her character was not as good as she had shown in public. But that was understandable, and everyone had his own character and shortcomings. For stars, they could not expose their real characters to the public, or they would lose fans.

Nicole had been playing a person who was not herself at all in public, which was really not easy for her.

The police were working on the case. Sophia didn’t think she should be involved in it. She just needed to wait patiently. When they solved the case, the public would know the truth.

She didn’t tweet anymore. Time would tell.

Half a month later, the police officially released the results of their investigation. However, they didn’t catch Joseph. No one knew where he was hiding. The police posted a picture of him and issued a reward, warning people to be careful of this dangerous man, keep a distance with him, and quietly call the police when they saw him.

It was time for a winter vacation in more than a week. The college courses were basically over, and the students were busy preparing for the final exam. The campus was quiet that the students mainly studied in the library and the study room.

Sophia was not a formal student of Glinton. Of course, she didn’t need to take the final exam. There were few classes these days, so she basically didn’t come to school.

When she came that day, she found many workers in blue uniforms at school. These people looked like construction workers. Since they showed up at school, there might be some constructions.

Glinton was one of the best universities in the country with a large scale and many buildings. Every few years, there would be new buildings. It was not surprising.

But Sophia noticed that they were going in the direction of the… lab building? She followed and saw several workers enter the lab building and measure something.

Sophia walked to them and asked, “Are you going to rebuild this building?”

One worker nodded, “Yeah. The building had been damaged by fire before and had to be demolished and rebuilt. We’ll take some measurements, and then we’ll pull the building down! Are you a student here? Don’t come here. It’s not safe here.”

There was a sense of loss in Sophia. She had worked in the building for several years and finally died here. She felt a little uncomfortable when she knew it was about to disappear.

But she could do nothing about it. The damaged house must have been demolished, or there might be an accident when someone was inside.

She walked out of the lab building with her head down. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw Albert standing there, looking at her quietly with comfort in his eyes.

“What are you doing here?” Sophia asked.

“I want to talk to you about something, but you’re not home, so I think you must be at school,” said Albert.

“What’s the matter?”
