Of course, Athena had her analysis and judgment on this issue. But she had to hear what the person involved had to say.
Matthew looked ahead. "My mother was not a weak person. She didn't miss Nicolas at all.
"However, a marriage between such big families is never a matter of oneself. A slight move can affect the entire situation.
"If my mother divorced Nicolas, the Graham family would never let her take my sister and me away. That was something she couldn't accept."
That was the answer that Athena expected. Matthew and Lucy were outstanding. They were both rare beauties and geniuses. The Graham family would never let them go.
Matthew continued, "Also, the Patterson family was declining and needed the Graham family's support. If my mother divorced Nicolas, the Graham family might stop supporting the Patterson family.
"According to the marriage agreement, if my mother wanted a divorce, she had to return all the Graham Group's shares. The most my mother could take away might only be a large sum."
Athena sighed softly and thought, 'The answer is exactly what I've expected. An arranged marriage does people great harm.'
She thought it over and asked, "How could Farrah be sure she could marry Nicolas once your mother was out of the picture?"
Matthew instantly understood what she meant. "You're thinking who benefited the most from my mother's death?"
'It's easy to talk to smart people.' Athena thought.
Athena nodded. "I can't see through the murderer's motive.
"In this case, Farrah is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary, but she isn't smart enough to plan this case.
"The murderer killed your mother, but Farrah benefited from it. It's too strange."
Farrah was too high-profile and too simple-minded. If she were to plan such a case, it would be full of loopholes.
"You're right." Matthew nodded. "I once suspected that Farrah was the mastermind, or that someone loved Farrah deeply and tried to murder my mother to let Farrah take over.
"But I've investigated for a long time. Indeed, many people are obsessed with Farrah, but no one can do such things.
"I even hypnotized and polygraphed Farrah. She doesn't know who the mastermind is."
"Yes," Athena said, "someone planning this case must have the information about Nicolas's many lovers. This person must know the inside of your family very well and be able to move freely in your family. This person must know your mother well enough.
"This person can only be someone from your family. It can be someone close to your mother or Nicolas. It can also be a servant with a certain status who has been in the Graham family for a long time.
"From the looks of it, the murderer's motive is not to be Nicolas's wife. And the murderer didn't attack Farrah. So, the murderer didn't do it out of jealousy."
Athena thought, 'If I can think of it, Matthew must have thought of it after so many years of investigation.'
After moments of silence, Matthew said, "My mother was well-educated, gentle, and kind. She had been a housewife after marriage and didn't participate in the company's matters. I've investigated for a long time, but I can't find anyone with whom she had a blood feud."
Athena was silent as she thought, 'The case is indeed strange. No wonder Matthew is still unable to identify the mastermind till now.'
A few seconds later, Matthew said calmly, "The onlooker sees the bigger picture. If Lockwood could help investigate this case, there might be discoveries."
He paused. "I'll get Louis to collate all the information on my sister and I have been investigating for so many years and give it all to you."
Athena looked at Matthew sideways and said softly, "After I read it, I will only note some points worth paying attention to. I will delete the rest of the information."
'Matthew indeed doesn't hold anything back from me. I will do my best to return the favor.' Athena thought, 'I swear to do everything to find the mastermind behind Maggie's case.'
After saying that, they fell silent in the car.
It was not until the car drove into the Mid-Level Mountain Garden and stopped in front of the Donovan family's villa that Matthew said, "Boundary Strike is screening. Would you like to go to the movie together?"
Athena took off her mask and smiled. "Sure."
Matthew looked ahead. "My mother was not a weak person. She didn't miss Nicolas at all.
