She Outshines 297
The voice sobbed. “I’ve seen many rich men, but only Mr. Graham treats me kindly. He smiles at me
warmly and takes the time to chat. He brings me gifts when hees home. On my birthday, he
gives me beautiful clothes and jewelry. When I’m not feeling well, he encourages me to rest. And
whenever I change my hairstyle or outfit, he always praises me and call me beautiful…”
Adele said a lot about how Nics cared about her and treated her well.
The Grahams were speechless.
In fact, as long as there was no deep–seated hatred, Nics 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 w in your life. Why can’t you ept 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 me me
for being heartless; you’ve already had more than enough in your lifetime
Athena turned off the phone and did not y 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 ced 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.
Some even 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 happenedst
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 incidentst night.
As a leading scientist, Athena had all sorts of unusual items in herboratory. 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 ce them in
the rooms of Nics 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 ced some almost odorless spices in the room of Nics and the other two. The
three of them were in a daze after smelling it for a long time.

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 forey and pave the way for the
atmosphere. Only then could they make Adele confess to Maggie under huge psychological
pressure and mental stimtion.
They made it. Adele confessed.
The reason why they said that what happenedst night had nothing to do with them was purely to
punish Adele and the other two, to make them suffer psychological torture.
The surveince video did not capture anyone entering and leaving the three people’s roomste at
night because Matthew tampered with the surveince video and used the old video to cover the
video fromst night.
Adele’s eyes were filled with tears as her gazended 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
Nics 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
Nics.
Even Adele trembled slightly as she turned her head and looked at Nics with an indescribable
emotion, as if she was waiting for the expected death sentence.
“I’m not touched!” Nics frowned and subconsciously retreated, 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!” Nics 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 asionally give her gifts and praise her just because she treats you and your
mother well. To me, she is just an employee.”
Everyone was silent, all expected Nics’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 Nics really treated her as a lover or a woman of sexual interest.
