She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 296

Athena túrned to Adele, her expression thoughtful. "You're absolutely right. Solving a case is a serious and meticulous task. No matter how agreeable, reasonable, or logical the analysis might be, there must be solid evidence to prove someone is the murderer. In Mrs.

Graham's case, neither Mr. Graham nor I found any concrete evidence."

Adele's voice was slightly choked. "In that case, why did you say such a thing? I'm almost eighty years old. It's cruel of you to say that about me..."

"However, we will find a way to find evidence," Athena interrupted her. "If we fail, we will make you hand it over."

The people present were shocked, not knowing what that meant

Adele shook her head. "How can I hand over the so-called evidence for something I didn't do?"

Athena said, "The most important evidence that can prove that you're the real murderer is the anonymous phone that you your hands." sent messages to Mr. Graham's many lovers back then, as well as the phone that Mrs. Graham used at that time. The former has probably been destroyed by you. The latter was used to send a message some time ago. It should still be in

She continued, "Speaking of Mrs. Graham's phone, there's something I think I need to clarify."

"On the night of the murder, Mrs. Graham received a phone call just seconds before the lights went out. The moment she answered, her expression shifted dramatically. She glanced around nervously, and then the lights plunged into darkness. Then she slipped away from the crowd and headed to the rooftop."

Athena's gaze sharpened as she slowly scanned the crowd. "What could make a mother who loved her child to leave when her child was blowing the candle?

"That night, Mr. Graham's many lovers deliberately provoked Mrs. Graham's actions. I guess that the phone call Mrs. Graham received probably told her that someone was having a date with Mr. Graham on the roof and asked her to check it if she didn't believe it. Athena's eyes were locked onto Adele's face. "Mrs. Graham already knew who Mr. Graham was. So why was she so agitated by his secret rendezvous with his lover? She didn't even seem to care that her son was blowing out his birthday candles. She insisted on heading to the rooftop to investigate!"

Everyone knew the answer.
