She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 212

Matthew revealed a cold and mocking look at the mention of Nicolas. He ran his fingers through his hair, covering his face with his forearm in the process. It was as if he did not want Athena to see his devilish expression. Instead of answering Athena's question directly, he asked, "Miss Donovan, in your opinion, what would make my mom leave me at that time and run to the roof alone?"

Athena put herself in Maggie's shoes. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "I think the most likely possibility is that Maggie found out that Nicolas was having a rendezvous with another woman on the roof at that time. That woman might be someone Maggie cared deeply about, such as her enemy, her friend or her trusted aide. The news caught her by surprise, so she had to confirm it with her own eyes.

"Your speculation is reasonable" Matthew chuckled sinisterly and said. "Lucy and I thought so too. We spent a lot of time investigating Nicolas's whereabouts at the time of the incident. Lacy even fell out with Nicolas by asking him directly what he was doing at that time. Nicolas refused to tell us at first, but he finally confessed. He was indeed having a tryst with another woman, but not on the roof. They were in the bathroom Matthew continued, "After checking through the surveillance camera footage, we noticed a petite mait entering the bathroom on the second floor before the lights went out in the hall Nicolas entered the bathroom after the lights went out. That petite man was, indeed, a woman dressed up as a man." speechless.

Athena asked, "Other than the passage to the roof, is there any other way someone could have used to bypass the surveillance cameras and sneakily get to the root? "Yes." Matthew explained. "The main building of the Graham family residence is divided into three floors. The first floor is 13 feet tall while the second and third floors are 11.5 feet tall. An agile person can easily climb to the top of the building from the balconies on the second and third floors.

"There are indeed some blind spots that the surveillance cameras can't capture on the second and third floors. In addition, if someone had taken advantage of the late night or rain to climb up from the balconies to the roof in advance, the surveillance cameras wouldn't have been able to capture them.

Tve investigated everyone who had a motive to murder Maggie. They were all in the hall at the time of the murder Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that someone I don't know might have a motive to murder Maggie."
