Sophia nodded, "I knew there was more to it than that. I don't have any other leads now. I can only say that someone with a deep mind calculated her. It's just that… Nicole was acting strangely. Why did she ask the security guard to let a masked man in? Who was the person she really wanted to see?"
She thought of the picture, "Was it…"
"Who do you think of?"
"I'm not sure yet. There is no evidence. It's just my suspicion. If I have any other leads, I'll call you."
Then she hung up.
She didn't say that the person she suspected was Eddie.
Perhaps she was afraid of being caught up in the scandal before she told Eddie not to show up for a private meeting. Thus, even if he was caught on camera, nobody knew who he was,
But she didn't expect that it was Joseph who came.
Who informed Joseph? Why didn't Eddie come? Did Eddie do that? Why?
She had no evidence of this and could not speculate casually. In addition, the fact that Nicole hired the detective and lied to him also puzzled her.
The man behind the case made her feel terrible.
Soon, the Super Quiz announced the news that Sophia would withdraw from the game and honestly explained the reason that she was not available.
Netizens complained.
"There are millions of dollars for you. You say you have no time?"
"To have a rich friend like Albert, Sophia doesn't even care about such a large sum of money. Well, I want to say I'm available."
"Sophia's time is precious. Millions of dollars for one morning of her? Ha, ha. It's not enough."
Sophia, Albert, and Molly returned to Lands City that evening. As soon as she got home, she went online to gather information on how locks were constructed and how they worked. She had to master the most basic knowledge before she could find a way to make the special lock.
The next day on her way to the driving examination, she searched things about locks on her phone. It involved a wide range of aspects, and she was not proficient in physics, which made it difficult for her to learn.
The driving school sent a bus to pick them up. Everyone on the bus was studying for the test. A middle-aged woman next to Sophia saw Sophia looking at pictures of some locks on her phone. "The exam is coming soon. Why are you looking at this?" She said in surprise.
"I'm studying," said Sophia.
The woman was speechless, "Have you prepared for the exam?"
"Yeah. I read the book."
The woman shrugged her shoulders and thought the girl was silly. The girl read something irrelevant at this time, didn't she want to pass the exam? Even if she read through the book, she couldn't remember everything. The pass mark wasn't sixty but ninety.
When they arrived, they lined up to enter. Sophia had been checking her phone until the instructor took it away.
The questions were simple. She did them one by one and finished them in less than ten minutes. It was still early, and she stayed for a while before handing in the paper.
The computer had given the score: one hundred points.
When she went to print the report card, the middle-aged woman was there and saw her report card. The woman sighed, "You young people indeed have a good memory. I have been preparing for the exam for so long. Still, I failed it. I'll have to try again next time."
A staff beside them laughed, "It's not about the memory. She's the smart ass. I'm your big fan, Sophia!"
"Thanks!" Sophia laughed.
The coach told her that she could come to practice driving the next day. But Sophia wasn't available recently. She had been working on locks and tried to solve the mystery.
However, there was one thing he had to do. Sophia had promised to shoot the ad on the fifteenth. Of course, she would not break the contract.
She booked her flight, left in the morning, and arrived at Haven around 10 o'clock. Felix had got everything ready, and the extras were in place.
Most of the disabled extras were Sophia's fans and were glad to see her. They surrounded her and kept talking.
Felix said, "There are some changes in the ad. The actors told me about the troubles of being disabled, and I felt the need to publicize them, so I made some changes."
The content of the ad was simple. It demonstrated some difficulties encountered by the disabled in their daily life and how to help them in simple ways.
The first scene was of a young man in a wheelchair, which was electric and was convenient. He wheeled his wheelchair to the front store.
But then he found several cars parked in front of him blocking his way. Healthy people could pass through the gap between the cars, but the wheelchair couldn't do that. Finally, he had to turn around helplessly.
Sophia walked out and said, "Please don't park your car casually; it'll cause inconvenience to pedestrians, especially people in wheelchairs, they will be very helpless."
Then she dialed the number left by the owner in the car and asked the owner to park the car somewhere else. The young man gave a big smile and wheeled into the store.
In the second scene, a blind girl was walking on the street with a guide dog. Suddenly, a boy ran over to tease the dog. The dog was frightened and ran wild on the road.
Then the red light was on, and a car gave a sudden break in front of the girl.
Sophia showed to explain, "If you see a guide dog, please don't feed or tease him or her. You know, the dog is working, you'll disturb him or her. Besides, if a guide dog is waiting to cross the street with his or her owner, you mustn't run the red light, because the dog judges whether he or she should go based on pedestrians' actions. So, if you run a red light, you can mislead it into doing so.. Of course, you shouldn't do that even if there was no guide dog. Everyone should obey the traffic rules!"
