She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 297 The voice sobbed. "I've seen many rich men, but only Mr. Graham treatskindly. He smiles atwarmly and takes the tto chat. He bringsgifts when he comes home. On my birthday, he givesbeautiful clothes and jewelry. When I'm not feeling well, he encouragesto rest. And whenever I change my hairstyle or outfit, he always praisesand callbeautiful..." Adele said a lot about how Nicolas cared about her and treated her well.

The Grahams were speechless.

In fact, as long as there was no deep-seated hatred, Nicolas had always been a gentleman and considerate toward women, no matter rich and poor, young and old. It was simply part of his nature, talent, and habit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted so many women. It was foolish of Adele to think she was anything special, Adele's voice echoed, "You already have everything. Mr. Graham loves you deeply. His flirtatious nature is the only flaw in your life. Why can't you accept it? Why do you demand perfection? Life is meant to be filled with regrets and imperfections. Why can't you see that? I can't allow you to ruin this family and my ideal life... So, I have no choice but to send you out of this world. Don't blme for being heartless; you've already had more than enough in your lifetAthena turned off the phone and did not play the recording again. "Do you have anything else to say for yourself?" she asked, staring at Adele.

Adele's face was pale. "You installed a recording in Mrs. Graham's grave." "Yes," Athena said calmly. "We knew that you would definitely go to the cemetery to visit Mrs. Graham today, so we placed a micro-recorder there in advance." She and Matthew went to the cemetery early in the morning to install miniature recorders in the flowers and remote-controlled miniature broadcasters around them.

The flowers they brought contained hallucinogenic drugs. Visitors to the grave would be affected by their scent, sometimes hearing Maggie's voice, which made it difficult to stay awake and rational. Seven experienced vivid hallucinations, during which they would reveal their secrets.

Adele's lips kept trembling as if she had used a lot of strength to speak. "What happened last night... Was it you two who caused it?" Athena said calmly, "Are you talking about Mr. Graham and Ms. Johnson meeting Mrs. Graham?" Athena shook her head. "I don't know anything." She looked at Matthew. "Did you do it?" From beginning to end, Matthew had an indifferent expression. No one knew what he was thinking. Receiving Athena's question, he said coldly, "No." The two of them lied. They were the ones who had concocted the haunted incident last night.

As a leading scientist, Athena had all sorts of unusual items in her laboratory. She found three girls who resembled Maggie in height and figure and asked them to imitate her demeanor for a few days. She also dressed them exactly like Maggie. Then, she instructed Matthew to secretly place them in the rooms of Nicolas and the other two.

She also used technology to synthesize Maggie's voice. After recording it with a mini tape recorder, she asked the three girls to listen.

In addition, she placed salmost odorless spices in the room of Nicolas and the other two. The three of them were in a daze after smelling it for a long time.

Chapter 297 80%00 The three questions she asked them were also to trigger their memories of Maggie.

In short, Athena and Matthew had done so much mainly to create an atmosphere where Maggie was still "alive" and induce Adele to tell the truth in the cemetery.

Adele survived in the Patterson family and Graham family for decades and be treated as a trusted aide by the two families, her mental fortitude, EQ, and methods were definitely not bad. If they wanted Adele to reveal her secret, they had to create a lot of foreplay and pave the way for the atmosphere. Only then could they make Adele confess to Maggie under huge psychological pressure and mental stimulation.

They made it. Adele confessed.

The reason why they said that what happened last night had nothing to do with them was purely to punish Adele and the other two, to make them suffer psychological torture.

The surveillance video did not capture anyone entering and leaving the three people's rooms late at night because Matthew tampered with the surveillance video and used the old video to cover the video from last night. Adele's eyes were filled with tears as her gaze landed on Matthew's face. She said in a low voice, "You guys are so ungrateful. I've served you guys for so many years, and this is how you treat me..." "Don't act like the victim." Matthew's eyes were cold. He first looked into her eyes, then looked at Nicolas and said indifferently, "Father, this woman has loved you for so many years. She even sacrificed her own life. Are you very touched now?" When he asked this, everyone looked at Nicolas.

Even Adele trembled slightly as she turned her head and looked at Nicolas with an indescribable emotion, as if she was waiting for the expected death sentence.

"I'm not touched!" Nicolas frowned and subconsciously retreated, m dragging the chair back. "I just feel disgusted!" These words stabbed deeply into Adele's heart like a knife. Adele swayed and clutched her chest with both hands. She was in so much pain that it was as if she was suffering from a terminal illness.

Matthew continued to ask. Every question made Adele tremble. Then did you ever like her or have a little crush on her?" "No!" Nicolas said without hesitation. "I only like young and beautiful women. I'm not interested in women over 35 years old!"

"I'm polite to her and occasionally give her gifts and praise her justm because she treats you and your mother well. To me, she is just an employee." Everyone was silent, all expected Nicolas's answer, except for Adele.

His preferences and character had never changed.

He liked young and beautiful women. The older he became, the younger the woman he liked.

In recent years, none of his lovers were over 25 years old.

Adele was such a shrewd and smart woman. It was ridiculous and pathetic of her to have thought that Nicolas really treated her as a lover or a woman of sexual interest. 11:41 Mon, Chapter 298
