Chapter 148 - 148: Sophia Was Confused

It was not that they could not meet again. They had better go to class.

Maybe because of the effect of the graduation shooting, Sophia received a call from Glinton the next day.

"Hello, Miss Sophia. I'm a teacher at Glinton University. Here is the thing. Your admission formalities have not been formally processed, but you know, it's a long time before school starts. So, we decided to have your audit here and go through your admission formalities when you enter next year."

Sophia felt confused. There were no such rules before, were there?

The man explained, "Professor Normand requested that. He said you're a talent, it's a waste of time for you to stay in high school for half a year, and it's better for you to enter Glinton to learn more knowledge. Professor Normand has always cherished talent. He is thinking about your future… Of course, you have the right to refuse the arrangement."

When Sophia heard "Professor Normand", she agreed at once, "Yeah. I'll do that. When should I go there?"

Professor Normand was one of Benjamin's suspects in the lab fire. Even if it was just to get in touch with this guy, she was willing to go to Glinton.

The man laughed, "How about tomorrow? You can just go to Professor Normand."

Sophia thought about it and said, "I'm not available. How about next week?"

"Okay. No problem."

Sophia had an appointment with Molly to go to Plain this Friday to audition for Super Quiz. It was Thursday, and the next day was Friday. She didn't want to give up the opportunity. If she won, she would get not only one hundred thousand dollars but also revenge for the original owner of the body.

Early this morning, Molly had come to tell her that her driver would take her there, and they would come to pick up Sophia. Molly had an aunt in Plain, and Molly planned to ask Sophia to live in her aunt's house with her.

At first, Sophia disagreed. She could take the ride, but she could not disturb the life of Molly's aunt.

But Molly pestered her to agree.

"I've told my aunt that I would take Sophia, the legend, to her house. She was so happy that she had been preparing since the day before yesterday. What do you expect me to tell her if you don't go? Anyway, you have to live there. Otherwise, I'll ask my aunt to reserve all Plain hotels, and you'll have nowhere to live."

Were the rich so self-indulgent?

Sophia had to agree at last.

When Sophia came back home that evening, she told Kate both news.

Kate said nothing for Sophia going to Glinton to audit. She had been excited all day when she early learned that Sophia was admitted to Glinton University, but the excitement had now passed.

But Kate was kind of worried about the Super Quiz.

"May it be a trap?" Kate asked, "I have received a message saying I won a prize in what TV station. May that super quiz be a scam? Did they ask for a registration fee from you?"

Sophia laughed, "No. This show is on TV every week. I registered on the website presented on the show. There will be no problem."

Kate then relieved and asked, "You are going with your classmate, just you two girls? Is that safe?"

"Her driver will go with us. It's safe."

"Is the driver a man or a woman? Is the person reliable?"

"A man. He has been a driver for her family for decades. Very reliable."

There was nothing wrong with being careful, but Kate was too careful.

But Kate still warned her, "Don't trust strangers when you get there. Be careful. How about I ask for leave and go with you?"

"Everything will be alright, mom. I'm tough. No one dares to do anything to me. Take it easy. I will only leave for two days. I'll keep in touch with you as soon as I get to the place. Don't worry. And, I'll live in the house of my classmate's relative, which is safer than a hotel."

That was Kate. She always thought about the worst. When Sophia traveled to Bridge Town with classmates last time, Kate had been worrying about her eating and living, and she was afraid that bad people would cheat Sophia… Sophia just stayed in the Bridge Town for two days, but Kate called a dozen times.

But Sophia understood that Kate worried about her because she loved her, so she felt warm deep in the heart.

The next morning, Sophia had just finished breakfast when she got a call from Molly saying her car was waiting outside.

Sophia had packed up her things and put them into the luggage yesterday. She only went for two days, so she just took with some daily necessaries and clothes, which could not stuff a suitcase.

Kate had gone to work. Sophia locked the door and went downstairs with her suitcase. When she got to the gate of the neighborhood, she saw Molly waving at her by the roadside.

Molly was surrounded by a middle-aged man who looked very kind. He walked to Sophia and reached out to pick up her luggage, and smiled, "You must be Sophia, are you? Hand your luggage to me, get in the car, please."

The driver opened the trunk. Sophia glanced over and saw a pile of books inside.

"These are…" Sophia was confused, "Why do you take so many books?"

Molly seemed pride. "My father asked a friend at the TV station about the books for the questions. It was really hard to buy them all. My father's friend said that all the questions were from these books. Read these carefully. You will definitely win the championship after reading them all."

Sophia was speechless.

There were at least thirty books in the trunk, some very thick. The exam will be tomorrow. Even if she was brilliant, she couldn't read them all in one tonight.

She glanced casually at the books, most of which were the basics of subjects without difficulty. The books she usually read were more profound than these.

Molly pulled Sophia into the back seat. The driver closed the trunk, got into the cab, and started the car.

It was a long way to Plain, and it would take more than four hours, even on the highway. It was not easy to drive for so long.

Molly took out an iPad and turned it on, "I've downloaded all episodes of Super Quiz. There are some I haven't watched. Which one have you not watched yet? Let's watch it together."

"I haven't watched any… but I have searched the questions of the show and know a little."

The point she was trying to make was that she had done something.

Did she really want to be on the show? Molly couldn't help asking inside.
