She Outshines 253
Two cars were outside the entrance of the main building. One was Athena’s van, and the other was
Matthew’s Miracle 2.0.
Matthew politely asked Athena. “Dr. Annie. if you don’t mind, how about taking my car back?”
Athena nodded. “Okay”
She walked to Matthew’s car door and was about to get into the car when she heard an aged and
kind voiceing from the side. “Mr. Graham, please hold on.”
Athena turned around and saw an olddy with arge food box walking out of a small door at the
side of the main building.
When Matthew saw the olddy, his indifferent face instantly softened. He quickly walked over and
said respectfully. “Adele, why are you here?”
Adele stopped before Matthew and said kindly, “I knew you would return today, so I made your
favorite peach pie. I got up early in the morning and made these pies. Take them with you and
enjoy them.”
Matthew took the food box from Adele’s arms and said with a rare warmth, “Thanks. I’m happy that I
can taste the pies you made for me.
“But I want you to have more rest. It breaks my heart to see you tire yourself out.”

Adele looked at Matthew as if she was looking at her child. That gentle and loving feeling was
genuine. “Oh, I’m not so old that I can’t make some pies. Please don’t make me give up the joy of
making pies for you.”
Since Adele had said so, Matthew stopped persuading her. “Alright, I’ll finish the pies you made for
me.”
While they were talking, Athena stood quietly at the side and secretly sized up Adele.
Adele’s thick gray hair was meticulouslybed back and tied into a bun with a small, ck
hairpin.
Adele’s body had shrunk. She was less than 5.2 feet tall. Her figure was a little bloated. She wore a
traditional ck dress with exquisite embroidery and a pair of old yet polished ck leather shoes.
She looked old–fashioned and retro.
She wore no makeup and looked well cared for. Although the wrinkles on her face were obvious,
her face was rosy. Her eyes were still clear, her back was straight, and her voice was not weak
In addition, she had an elegant bearing and spoke appropriately. She had the aura of a first–rate
maid from a rich family.
ording to Athena’s observation, Adele looked in her sixties, but her age should be around eighty,
and she was respected in the Graham family:
Matthew did not stay long after taking Adele’s pies. After exchanging some pleasantries, he
returned to the car and opened
the door for Athena.
After the car drove out of the gate of the Graham family, Matthew told Athena, “Adele is my
mother’s nanny. When my mother was still a child, Adele had always been by my mother’s sile.
She watched my mother grow up and followed my mother to the Graham family.
After my mother passed away, everyone around her left one after another. Only Adele stayed in the
Graham family to attend to my mother’s room and the flowers and nts my mother nted when
she was alive for all these years.
On my mother’s birthday, the anniversary of her death, and all kinds of holidays, Adele would visit
my mother’s grave. “Adele told my sister and me that we must bury her by my mother’s side after
she dies
Athena was deep in thought, “I saw how Adelebed her hair bun and dressed herself. In
addition, she has always been by your mother’s side and has never left the Graham family. Is she a
nun?”
A mun back thenmitted herself to God and was determined to remain unmarried all her life.
Once a woman became a nun, she had to abide by hermitment and never marry or have
children. Otherwise, she might get punished. Being a nun was still a life choice for some women.
Matthew turned his head slightly and looked at Athena. “Yes, Adele is a nun.
“She’s from a poor family. When she was young, her family wanted her to marry a fool for money.
Adele protested, so she went to the church for help and became a nun, swearing not to marry in her
life.
“Because of this, she was chased away by her family. After many years, she became a maid in the
Patterson family. Later, my mother chose her as a nanny.
“Adele has no family, friends, or children. My mother used to be her closest and most important
one.”
Matthew paused slightly. “After my mother passed away, my sister wanted Adele to move out of the
Graham family to live
with her.
“But Adele said she was old and used to living with my mother. Even though my mother was gone,
the Graham family still had traces of my mother’s life. So she didn’t want to leave.”
After a silent moment, Athena said, “Adele was on your mother’s side. She’ll suffer if she stays in
the Graham family, right?” Not to mention anything else, Farrah would never let Adele off easily.
“Farrah likes to make things difficult for Adele, Matthew said calmly. “However, my father respects
Adele.
“Also, I’m still alive. Whoever dared to make things difficult for Adele, I would get rid of them. Even
Farrah couldn’t protect
HE
them.
“As time went by, the servants of the Graham family did not dare to take Farrah’s orders and make
things difficult for Adele,
Athena nodded and stopped discussing Adele. She shifted the topic to Farrah. “Was it an ident
that Farrah’s hands were crippled
“No.” Matthew said honestly, “I did it.”
Athena’s mouth widened in surprise, but she wasn’t too surprised.
Matthew’s tone was indifferent. He didn’t have any psychological burden about crippling Farrah’s
arms. “Farrah was the woman who was pregnant for four months at my eighth birthday banquet
and bragged to my mother about how Nics doted on her and how Nics despised my mother
behind my mother’s back.
“She told my mother that when my mother was pregnant with me, she was with Nics every night
and that she had secretly given birth to a beautiful daughter who looked like Nics, Nics doted
on this daughter very much and named
her Loreen
“Farrah also said she had done an ultrasound and confirmed that she was pregnant with a boy. In
Farrah’s words, Nics looked forward to this son and even promised to divorce my mother and
marry her after giving birth to a son.
“My mother drank a lot after listening to her words. I saw from the surveince footage that my
mother was quietly wiping her tears in the corner. She couldn’t even walk steadily
His voice sounded ruthless. “It’s only been three months since my mother passed away, but Farrah
used the unborn child to threaten Nics to register the marriage with her.
“Nics was a scumbag. He agreed and took Farrals to register their marriage secretly.

“Fortunately, God is fair. Not long after Farrah and Nics registered their marriage, Farrah ate
something bad at a gathering and had a miscarriage on the spot,”
When Athena heard it, she couldn’t help but think, ‘Did Matthew do this again?‘
Theers of Matthew’s lips curled up slightly. He did not hide the inside story. “Later, my sister
Lucy told me she sent a letter to Nics’s most beloved and capable lover. In the letter, there were
photos of Nics and Farrah’s marriage certificate, the gender analysis report for Farrah’s fetus,
and so on. Lucy used this to incite the woman to deal with Farrah.
“Lucy didn’t expect that woman to attack Farrah but also be so ruthless. Farrah had a miscarriage
when she was eight months
pregnant. It was harmful to her body, and she could no longer have children.
“Nics felt guilty toward Farrah and brought her back to the Graham family. He even held a small,
undisclosed wedding with her.”
Athena listened quietly without asking any questions.
Matthew added. “However, this is Lucy’s way of seeking justice for my mother, not mine.”
He looked at Athena. “Miss Donovan, do you dare to hear how I seek justice for my mother?”
Athena nodded calmly. “Please fill me in.”
