She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285
Athena noticed that Maggie seemed to have a lot on her mind before the accident. She went to the church every month. But she did not tell anyone about what she was praying.
Generally speaking, Maggie should be suffering because of Nicolas’s frequent affairs.
Athena also noticed that Maggie’s private lawyer had said one thing after being secretly hypnotized. It was that Maggie had consulted about the divorce before the accident. She had also handed over a large amount of evidence of Nicolas’s affair to the lawyer for safekeeping, hoping that she could obtain custody of Matthew after divorcing Nicolas.
The lawyer also said that Maggie knew that her divorce from Nicolas was very sensitive and important, so she did not mention it to anyone except her most trusted private lawyer.
The lawyer also kept her promise and kept her mouth shut about Maggie’s decision to divorce. She didn’t tell anyone. There was no mention of Maggie wanting a divorce in the statements of the other suspects.
Athena analyzed the information and fell into deep thought.
‘Did Maggie’s decision to divorce have anything to do with the Falling Off the Building case? Could the people around Maggie have noticed that she wanted a divorce and leaked the news? Would Nicolas or the Graham family people hope that Maggie would disappear because of this?
‘Besides, Matthew had hypnotized and interrogated almost everyone, including Nicolas. Only Adele was not hypnotized. The reason was that Adele had been sick ever since Maggie’s accident. She was very sad whenever Maggie was mentioned. It was very difficult for her to stay awake. It took her a long time to recover. Coupled with her old age, she probably could not withstand the mental damage caused by hypnosis.’
Athena felt that if there was an opportunity, she might have a good chat with Adele to see if there were any discoveries.
After an unknown period, exhausted, she raised her head and turned her neck. She realized that it was already past one o’clock in the morning.
“It’s already so late,” she muttered. “I have to sleep.”
However, how could she sleep well when she could not even find an important suspect in such a big case?
In her dream, the files she’d read before she’d gone to bed seemed to come to life. They kept disassembling and reassembling in her mind. Her thoughts were like threads connecting the clues that might be connected.
Before Maggie’s accident, she secretly consulted a lawyer about the divorce and secretly collected evidence of N***as’s affair.
On the night of Maggie’s accident, Ni***s’s many lovers were instigated and incited by the mysterious figure. They kept appearing around Maggie and agitated her crazily.
After Maggie’s accident, who would have profited? Almost all the servants in the Graham family had been replaced, except for a few. Then Farrah married Nicolas. A few years later, her arms were crippled by Matthew. In recent years, Nicolas had often been drugged and fell ill. It was so difficult for him to go out with his mistresses.
The sun shone through the curtains and shone on Athena’s face, Athena suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, “I know! I might have discovered the murderer’s motive!”
She jumped out of bed and faced the morning breeze that blew in through the window. She paced back and forth and muttered, “This is all just my guess. There’s no evidence. I can’t find any evidence unless the suspect admits it. What can I do to make the suspect admit it himself?”

Chapter 285
She couldn’t think of a good solution.
As she glanced around, her gaze unintentionally landed on the calendar on the wall.
There were several dates marked in red circles on the calendar. It was the birthday of the family.
There were so many people in the Donovan family, so almost every month, someone celebrated their birthday.
In September, there were Jaden and Arthur’s birthdays. Next month, there was Alaric’s birthday. Birthday?
She patted her head and said in a low voice, “Maybe the day of Matthew’s birthday is the opportunity to catch the mastermind.”

Thinking of this, she picked up the red pen and circled the day of November 22. She also wrote a sentence on it to remind herself.
Then, she walked briskly into the bathroom and prepared to go to school.
The weather today was not bad, but she met a s***g.
As soon as she arrived at the teaching area, she saw a flashy blue convertible Aston Martin driving slowly across the campus, attracting a large crowd of students.
A man in his twenties was wearing a pair of sunglasses. He had light makeup on his face and his slightly long hair was combed into a very coquettish hairstyle. He drove in a very high-profile manner and kept looking around.
It was obvious that he was looking for prey. What prey? Of course, it was a pretty girl.
Athena thought that she was a broad-minded and far-sighted person. She had never easily argued with people, but at that moment, she wanted to roll her eyes and curse him for being so pretentious!
Because the road ahead was blocked by him, she turned to the right and prepared to take a turn.
However, it was unknown if the man had talent in this area or if his eyesight was especially good, but he actually noticed her at the back of the crowd. His eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and shouted, “Beauty, that long-haired beauty, wait…”
When he called out, many long-haired girls stopped in their tracks. They either touched their long hair reservedly or puffed out their chests happily and smiled at him as if they were chosen by a superstar.
Athena heard it but did not react. She continued walking.
The man turned the steering wheel and obviously wanted to chase after her. However, his car was surrounded. In a moment of desperation, he stopped the car, jumped out of the car, and chased after Athena.
Athena had only taken a dozen steps when her arm was grabbed by him.
She frowned slightly and turned her arm. She secretly exerted strength and easily pulled her hand out. She glared coldly at him and asked, “What are you doing?”
The man took off his sunglasses and looked at her with bright eyes. He said excitedly, “You’re Athena from Kitmore University, right? You’re indeed very beautiful. I fell in love with you at first sight. Can you be my girlfriend?”
