It was a long trip. They set off at six in the morning and got off the highway at about eleven o 'clock.
Then they drove half an hour before arriving at the house of Molly's aunt.
Aunt Mcdowell lived in a duplex building in a high-grade neighborhood. The security there was very good. When they drove there, they were stopped outside.
Molly got off and called Aunt Mcdowell from the guard room. Then the guard let them in.
When they got off, Molly led Sophia to the elevator. The driver took the luggage and entered the elevator with them.
Aunt Mcdowell lived on the tenth floor. When Sophia got out of the elevator, she saw a fat middle-aged woman waiting there, and a boy about seven or eight years old stood next to her.
"Are you Sophia?" As soon as the elevator door opened, Aunt Mcdowell went to them. She held Sophia's hand with enthusiasm. "You're so lovely. I heard a lot of you from Molly. She told me you're a good learner, and she doesn't admire people often."
Sophia smiled and had not adapted to Aunt Mcdowell's excessive enthusiasm for a moment.
Molly complained, "Aunt, you haven't even given me a look. Are you my blood aunt or not?"
Before Aunt Mcdowell spoke, the boy next to her, clapped his hands and laughed, "You're jealous, sis. Ha, ha!"
"No one thinks you're dumb if you don't talk, Lucas," said Molly.
Aunt Mcdowell led them to the house, and they put on the slippers she had prepared.
"Come to eat fruit. They're freshly cut." Aunt Mcdowell gave them a warm reception.
The driver was very tired after driving all morning, so Aunt Mcdowell asked him to rest in the guest room. Sophia and Molly had taken a rest in the car and were in good spirits.
"I just picked up Mitch, and you're here. I have asked Mrs. Miller to go shopping, and we'll make dinner when she comes back." As Aunt Mcdowell spoke, she put a lot of snacks on the table and asked Sophia to eat.
The neglected Molly soon accepted the unfair treatment. Then she went to fight for the remote with Lucas.
Lucas wanted to watch cartoons but couldn't get the remote from Molly, so he had to watch the latest Super Quiz replay with his mouth puckered up.
Molly said proudly, "I'm a high achiever who is going to participate in the Super Quiz. After a while, I will be on TV like these contestants, then you will see me on TV."
Lucas curled his lip and said, "Don't be too proud of yourself. Maybe you won't even pass the audition. Then you'll go back in shame. Ha, ha!"
Molly pressed Lucas on the sofa and tried to tear his mouth. "You little brat. Your mouth itches, is it?"
Later, Mrs. Miller was back from the grocery store. She was a maid hired by Aunt Mcdowell, now in her sixties. She put on the apron and went into the kitchen. Soon, dinner was ready.
Aunt Mcdowell had informed Mrs. Miller in advance, so Mrs. Miller made a very big lunch that the dishes were too many for the table.
As soon as the food was served, Lucas rushed up and grabbed a fried chicken leg, and ate it. Aunt Mcdowell reprimanded him for being rude, but Lucas was probably used to that and ignored her.
Sophia washed her hands and sat with everyone else for dinner. Although Mrs. Miller was a maid, Aunt Mcdowell respected her and asked her to sit down and eat with them.
Aunt Mcdowell wanted to ask the driver to eat, but he was still sleeping, so she didn't wake him up, just asked Mrs. Miller to leave some for him to eat when he woke up.
"You're so good at cooking, Mrs. Miller." Sophia flattered her honestly, and the food was very delicious.
"Of course. My favorite thing is cooking. Actually, my children went abroad, and I don't want to cook or eat alone when I retired, so I come here to work." Mrs. Miller said with pride.
After lunch, Sophia and Molly went to take a snap. The audition was two o'clock in the afternoon. A little after one o 'clock, Aunt Mcdowell drove Lucas to school and took two girls to the audition to give the driver more rest.
The Plain TV Station chose to audition in a local college. Since there were no tables or chairs in the television station and there were classes in elementary and middle schools, they just rented the college classrooms for exams.
When Aunt Mcdowell arrived there with Sophia and Molly, there were many contestants on the campus, and there seemed to be thousands.
People were talking about the way of the exam because there was no specific way of the examination on the official website. The host just sent messages to all contestants to inform them about the time and exam place.
But there were a number of contestants who had attended the show. They were talking about the way of the last test with new contestants.
"It was just a simple written test," said a college-looking man. "But there were over one hundred sets of papers, which were given out casually. No one knew which paper they would get. The testing content involved various subjects. It was really hard."
When Sophia was waiting in the square with Molly, her eyes searched among the crowd, and soon, she locked the target.
Not far away, Charles was talking with his girlfriend. Also, he found Sophia, frowned, and didn't go to greet her. He uncomfortably turned his head away to not to look at her.
Molly noticed the brief eye contact between Sophia and Charles. She approached her and said with a smile, "Your acquaintance?"
"No." Sophia denied calmly.
Molly smiled, "Let me guess. His expression seems uncomfortable. Is he that, Charles?"
Sophia said nothing.
The love affair between the previous owner of this body and Charles was known to the whole school at the time. Later, these things were told to freshmen by repeat students. As a result, everyone in the school knew that Boss Green had an ex-boyfriend named Charles.
But they also knew that the hero didn't show up again after he went to college, and no one had seen him with Sophia again, so they thought the couple broke up long before.
For the guy dared to break up with Boss Green, everyone was curious about him. Was he… all right? Did he get killed?
