Chapter 252 - 252: Don’t You Dare

The loss was supposed to be paid for by Normand. But he had no money, his family was in debt, and his assets were negative. So, everything went according to the law. Normand had not yet been sentenced, but according to Sophia's knowledge of the law, he would be sentenced to at least three years in prison.

Had it not been for that the evidence of the lab fire was destroyed, Normand would stay longer in prison. 

Sophia tweeted a thank-you note and said that someone had funded to rebuild the lab and go back to work in a few months.

Netizens were making fun of it.

"It must be Mr. Pearson, the rich fool."

"It's definitely Mr. Pearson. He wouldn't give a chance to others."

"I heard about this project. It's amazing. If it succeeds, it will benefit humanity. I think Mr. Pearson is really good at business. If the project succeeds, they will make a lot of money!"

"He has a good eye for investment and a better eye for finding a wife."

Sophia saw the word "wife" and blushed inexplicably.

"Sophia, it's your turn." A girl waved at her.

The girl was ahead of her and happened to know her. When she finished her practice, she came to call her.

She got up and was about to walk to the car when a black man came up to her and said, "I'll practice first. I have work to do later. Me first!"

Sophia didn't want to give up. The car practice was not that important. If he was in a hurry, he could do it next time. "Sorry, I'm not very idle," she refused calmly.

The man frowned, "What business do you have? Shopping? Actually, I think you women had better not learn to drive. The road killer, oh… So you'd better not learn to drive."

These words annoyed Sophia. Who did he think he was? How dare he discriminate against women?

She had to teach him a lesson.

Sophia smiled, "Sir, you mean you learn faster and better than me, right?"

The man raised his chin and looked quite confident. "Of course!"

Sophia smiled. "Well, let's have a match, shall we? The one learned fastest and can accurately park the car inside the while lines will win."

The man was surprised that the girl dared to bet against him. If he agreed, would people think he was bullying her?

He was about to say something when Sophia raised her eyebrows and said defiantly, "Don't you dare?"

The man was enraged, "What? Will I be afraid of you? Let's compete. So, how about winning? How about losing?"

"It's simple," Sophia said, "the loser has to come early every day to line up for the winner till the end of the driving test."

Since there were six people in a car, they had to practice in turns and those who came early practiced first. The person at the front of the line could swap with the person behind.

The man agreed at once. "All right. Deal! You'll line up for me. I wish you won't be too scared to come."

He stood beside the car, his eyes rolling. "Lady first! Please!"

When the coach was teaching, he could listen and learn twice. Then the odds of winning would be higher.

Sophia knew what he was thinking but didn't disclose him, and she just got in the car.

"You two are funny." The coach was a young man. He couldn't help laughing. "The game is fun. But you don't have the advantage."

"It's all right. Let's start. Start the lock," said Sophia.

The coach began to explain reverse stall parking. It was the most difficult part of the exam. Reversing the car into a white box slightly wider than the car required a precise grasp. But there were some skills, which would help with the reverse.

Sophia listened to the coach and watched him demonstrate it, and then she remembered it all. She nodded and said, "I get it. Let me have a try."

The coach was surprised, "I just said it once, demonstrated it once, and you got it?"

"Yeah."

The man in black couldn't help saying, "Don't be urgent. I know you want to win. But you just watched it once. You think it's that easy?"

Sophia ignored him. Holding the steering wheel in one hand and the target in the other, she slowly stepped on the clutch and started the car. When the car got to the white line in front, she stopped it and hung up the gear. Then she fixed her eyes on the white line in the rearview mirror and drove back bit by bit.

She did this for the first time and did it slowly for more than one minute.

She got out of the car and took a look at her watch. "With the coach's explanation, it's twelve minutes. Now it's your turn. If you couldn't do it in twelve minutes, please come early in the afternoon to keep a seat for me."

The man couldn't believe it. The girl just heard it once and made it?

He heard that it was difficult. His brother failed the exam for pressing the line in the reverse. The pass rate for this course was less than half. Many people practiced for a long time before they went to the exam, but they still made mistakes.

He didn't feel like he was able to handle the reverse in twelve minutes fully, and he didn't remember it when the coach was teaching Sophia.

Sophia sat aside, checking the microblog and waiting. Twelve minutes later, she stood up and said, "You lost!"

The man hadn't had time to have a try. Twelve minutes weren't even enough for him to remember the instructions the coach had given him.

"Well, please take place for me in the afternoon," Sophia said, turning away.

She didn't expect the man to keep a seat for her. Sure enough, the man wasn't there when she came in the afternoon. And she never saw him again for a few days.

What a loser!

When the coach saw her in the afternoon, he advised her to go to another coach.. His team was all learning reverse, and he thought Sophia did it quite well and could learn something else.
