She Outshines 292
Chapter 292
Athena said calmly, “I can only confirm that the murderer must be in the Graham family.”
“Who couldn’t guess that?” Loreen sneered. “Just say who you suspect the most.”
Athena replied, “At least, you’re definitely not the murderer.”
There were low chuckles all around.
“You’re the most annoying!” Loreen stomped her foot in frustration. “If my brother can’t figure it out,
there’s no way you can either.”
Matthew ignored her and stepped forward, coldly staring at Farrah. “Since you’re here, please be
the first to be interrogated by Lockwood.”
Farrah replied coldly, “What if I refuse?”
Matthew said with an expressionless face, “I will consider you the mastermind and make you pay a
heavier price.”
Farrah’s expression changed. She wanted to scold him back, but when she met Matthew’s cold
gaze, she endured it and said indifferently to Athena, “What do you want to ask?”
Athena nced around and said, “Let’s go to the small living room to talk. Everyone else, please
keep your distance.”
Farrah turned and slowly walked to the small living room, sitting down and looking indifferently at
Athena. “I hope your questions aren’t just nonsense.”
Athena got straight to the point. “I’ll only ask you three questions. First question: Did you know that
Maggie had decided to divorce Nics before the incident?”
This question was clearly beyond Farrah’s expectations.
Farrah was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “I didn’t know.” Then, she asked, “Is
this true?”
Athena replied, “It’s true.”
“Impossible.” Farrah shook her head. “On the night of the incident, I told her that Nics promised
to marry me and urged her to hurry up and divorce him. She clearly told me that she would never
get a divorce. She wanted me to always be the hidden mistress and for my children to forever be
regarded as illegitimate.”
Athena ignored her words and looked straight into her eyes, asking, “Have you ever felt sorry or
regretted anything about Maggie?”
Farrah was stunned again, her expression turning icy as anger washed over her face. “Look at me
now, how am I any better than Maggie?”
Her tone was filled with hatred, though she didn’t know who to direct it at. “Even though Maggie is
dead, her two children are doing well. Her son has be the heir of the Graham Group. What’s
there to regret?”
“But what about my son? He died in the womb!” she continued, her voice rising. “And my hands are
gone! I need someone to help me take off my pants just to go to the bathroom. Who suffers more
than I do?”
She spoke bitterly, “I don’t feel the slightest bit of sorry or regret toward her! If I ever did anything
wrong, the price I paid was far greater than what I did. I owe no one anything!”
After calmly listening to her, Athena asked, “Tomorrow is the anniversary of Maggie’s death. Do you
n to visit her and apologize to her?”

Farrah sneered. “What kind of rtionship do I have with her? Why should I go see her?”
Athena said meaningfully, “Her incident is closely tied to you. If you don’t go see her, maybe she’ll
come see you.”
She then stood up and politely said, “Thank you for your answers. I’m going to see Nics now.”
Nics was lying in the rocking chair on the balcony in his sleeping robe, looking at the sunset in
the distance. He did not react much to Athena’s arrival and simply asked her, “What do you want to
ask?”
Athena sat down beside him and directly stated, “First question, do you know that Maggie had
already decided to divorce you and had consulted awyer about it in private before the incident?”
Nics was quite surprised and turned to look at her. “I’ve never heard of this before, and I don’t
think she has the courage to do so. The reason is that Matthew was only 8 years old at the time. If
we divorced, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take him with her.”
Athena didn’t dwell on the matter and went straight to the second question. “Have you ever felt
sorry or regretful about Maggie over the years?”
Nics was slightly stunned, his gaze drifting towards the swimming pool below as he fell into
silence
Athena remained silent, patiently waiting for his response.
After a long while, Nics finally sighed, his voice filled with nostalgia. “Whether you believe it or
not, I’ve had countless women in my life, but she is still the one I have the deepest feelings for. It’s
normal for a man like me to have a few women or illegitimate children outside. It won’t affect her
and her two children’s status in the Graham family. As long as she turns a blind eye, she can live
comfortably. But if she insists on holding onto these grievances, all she’s doing is asking for
trouble…
From the way he spoke, it sounded like he didn’t think he was at fault. Instead, the mistakey with
Maggie for not being magnanimous and understanding enough.
“I understand.” Athena did not show any emotion. She then asked the third question, “Tomorrow is
Maggie’s death anniversary. Aren’t you nning to visit her?”
It was understood that in the first few years after Maggie’s passing, Nics would visit her every
year on November 22. However, after Farrah gave birth to their daughter, he stopped visiting her.
Facing this question, Nics fell silent once again.
After a long pause, he sighed again, “She’s gone, and there’s no soul to be found. What can I
change by visiting her tomb?” Athena simply smiled and replied, “You were her only husband and
the man she loved. Perhaps she misses you.”
After saying that, she stood up and politely added, “Thank you for your cooperation. I’m going to
visit Adele now.”
Adele, still dressed in her old-fashioned traditional attire, poured her a cup of decaffeinated coffee
and politely said, “I don’t know if you like this kind of coffee. If you’re not used to it, there’s no need
to force yourself.”
“Thank you,” Athena smiled, picked up the coffee cup, took a few sips, and then politely said, “I onlyTêxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
have three questions f you. The first question is, do you know that Maggie had decided to divorce
Nics before the incident and had secretly consulted awyer?”
Adele looked up, a hint of surprise on her face. “She was deeply hurt by her husband’s betrayal and
had always wanted a divorce. However, she was well aware that divorce would be disadvantageous
for her, so it was merely a thought in her mind. I never heard her say she had decided to divorce.”
Athena looked at her and asked, “Have you ever felt sorry or regretful about what happened to
Maggie?”
When it came to this, Adele slowly closed her eyes, her middle-aged face revealing a deep sense of
mncholy and sadness.

“I was at fault in her matter Everyone has their faults. Everyone should be punished.”
Athena continued to ask, “Tomorrow, will you go to visit her?”
Every year on this day, Adele would visit Maggie, no matter the weather, and stay for a long time
before leaving.
Adele spoke softly, “Of course, anyone else may forget her, but never will.”
Athena nodded and said nothing more. “Thank you for your hospitality. I have no further questions.”
Then, under Matthew’s guidance, Athena carefully inspected every corner of the Graham family’s
main residence, thoroughly examining both the interior and exterior.
As night fell, Athena joined the Graham family, including Adele, for dinner.
No one spoke, not a single person uttered a word.
After finishing the meal, the members of the Graham family greeted each other and returned to their
rooms, showing no intention of sitting together to watch TV, chat, or engage in any form of
entertainment.
The grand and luxurious Graham family residence felt lifeless, like a stagnant pool of water.
Athena stayed in the guest room on the second floor and did note out all night.
In the early hours of the morning, a sudden fierce wind arose, apanied by lightning and
thunder, as torrential rain poured down.
The wind and rainshed against the windows of the room, creating a loud and intense noise.
In such an environment, it was nearly impossible for anyone with normal hearing to continue
sleeping.
Farrah opened her eyes in a daze and opened her mouth, wanting to ask someone to close the
window tightly.
However, when lightning struck, illuminating the room with the light from outside, she clearly saw a
figure standing by the window. ‘Maggie?’
Her eyes widened in shock. She opened her mouth to call for help, but she realized that she could
not make a sound.
