The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 245
Was he under orders? Then who could it be?
But it was just Sophia’s conjecture. What the facts were, and whether the lock existed, she needed to prove them with facts.
However, it involved her least favorite subject, physics. A man who could make such a thing had to be very familiar with the construction of machinery. To make such a lock, she had to learn mechanics from scratch.
Out of the studio, Sophia went straight to the director’s office, ignoring Charles’s resentful look at her.
When she said her intentions, Newman couldn’t believe what he heard. “You mean… you want to quit the finals?”
Sophia nodded, “Yeah.”
Behind her, Albert and Molly were surprised.
Molly got worried, “Are you crazy? The bonus is two million dollars! Everyone knew you have strength! You can get it easily. Why don’t you take it?”
Albert didn’t say anything. He sponsored most of the bonuses. He had wanted to use the chance to give Sophia some money to make her life easier, but he wouldn’t force her.
The bonus meant nothing to him, nothing to Sophia’s smile.
He would pay ten times as much for her smile if she could be happy.
“I’m not available,” Sophia said.
“Are you that busy?” Molly asked.
What could be more important than a large sum of money?
Sophia had planned to take part in the finals the next day, but she wanted to make the special lock as soon as possible. Besides, the show was completely dominated by her as if she became a bully.
She felt great to bully Charles, but other contestants weren’t bad people.
To bully the other nine champions? They were champions anyway, the builders of the motherland. She didn’t want to leave them a psychological shadow. What if they were too frustrated to pull themselves together?
So… forget about it. And even if she got the money, she wouldn’t keep it but donate it like she used to do in her previous life.
After Sophia got back to the hotel, she wanted to book a ticket to go back to Lands City with Molly. But Molly had booked her ticket in advance, so Sophia couldn’t buy the seat next to her.
Molly looked at Sophia booking tickets and complained, “You must do it on purpose, do you? You want to get rid of me, huh! You must have planned everything. You bad person!”
It seemed that everyone thought she and Albert were a couple. She had no objection to it, but Pearson had never said anything about liking her. She couldn’t assume that she was his girlfriend.
Sophia was not his girlfriend, so she couldn’t do anything to him, like kiss or hug. Faced with Albert’s handsome face, Sophia was worried that she couldn’t control herself from doing something to him.
But he was always with her. Didn’t he sense the danger?
While she was thinking, Molly said, “Check your blog. Nicole’s case was solved.”
Sophia had just booked the ticket. She took over Molly’s phone and saw a message from the police. It said that the murderer, Nicole’s ex-boyfriend Joseph, was caught. He had been hiding in the countryside and confessed to killing Nicole after he was caught.
According to Joseph, Nicole had been avoiding him since he broke up with her, never mentioning him, and saying in public that she had never been in love. When he finally found her, he wanted to get back together with her. But Nicole said something full of contempt, and it angered him. Accidentally, he killed her. Then he panicked and fled. He took her phone with him and sent text messages to delay the discovery of her body. During the time, he had been hiding in the remote countryside.
After reading the message, Sophia frowned and shook her head. “No. It’s not that easy to get into Nicole’s community. It was Nicole who told the security guard to let Joseph in. If they didn’t get along well, why did Nicole allow him in? It’s not logical.”
Molly said, “Maybe Nicole felt lonely then. She thought of him and called him. Later, when they met, she felt that he was not worthy of her. After all, she was a big star. So, she said some hurtful words. On impulse, both of them were ruined…”
She thought about it and said, “By the way, I’ve seen a picture that Nicole secretly dated a rich man. Was Joseph upset after knowing this?”
Sophia was stunned, “When was it?”
Molly said, “It seems to be a few days before her death… There are pictures online. The man’s face is not quite clear. Only his acquaintance could recognize him.”
She took out her phone and searched for a long time before she found a picture. “Most of the pictures have been deleted. Luckily, someone kept some. Look!”
Sophia took over the phone. The picture was taken secretly, not very clear. In the picture, Nicole just came out from a fancy club, and a man was beside her.
Although the picture wasn’t clear, Sophia could recognize that the man was Eddie.
Nicole knew Eddie?
But after thinking about it, Sophia felt it made sense. It was not unusual for female stars to date rich men. Eddie looked like a playboy. It was no surprise he was involved with a beautiful actress like Nicole.
Did it have anything to do with her death?
Sophia felt that the police had not disclosed all the facts, and there must be something that couldn’t be known by the public.
She immediately called Christopher, who was in charge of the case and told him her question.
Christopher was silent for a moment and said,” I guess you’ll come and ask me, you’re the witness of the case, I can tell you some details, and you can just help me think about it, and I have something I don’t understand. I’ve heard about your abilities, maybe… You can help me figure it out.
Christopher was silent for a moment and then said, “I knew you would come to me. You are a witness in this case. I can tell you some details, and you can help me think about something I’m confused about. I’ve heard about your abilities. Maybe… You can help me figure it out.”
“Say it,” said Sophia.
“Well, when we interrogated Joseph, he said that the reason he was able to get into Nicole’s house so easily was because he had been told that the security guard would let him in if he was wearing a certain set of clothes. He did not know the person who told him. The message had been delivered by a child. Of course… there was no doubt that he was the murderer.. All the evidence supports that. But the unknown man should be an accomplice, right?”
