Chapter 264
Avery noticed that Maggie seemed to have a lot on her mind before the accident. She went to the church every month, but she did not tell anyone what she was praying for. Generally speaking, Maggie should have been suffering because of Nicolas’s frequent affairs.
Avery also noticed that Maggie’s private lawyer had said one thing after being secretly hypnotized: Maggie had consulted about the divorce before the accident. She had also handed over a large amount of evidence of Nicolas’s affair to the lawyer for safekeeping, hoping that she could obtain custody of Alexander after divorcing Nicolas. The lawyer also said that Maggie knew her divorce from Nicolas was very sensitive and important, so she did not mention it to anyone except her most trusted private lawyer.
The lawyer also kept her promise and kept her mouth shut about Maggie’s decision to divorce. She didn’t tell anyone. There was no mention of Maggie wanting a divorce in the statements of the other suspects. Avery analyzed the information and fell into deep thought.
Did Maggie’s decision to divorce have anything to do with the Falling Off the Building case? Could the people around Maggie have noticed that she wanted a divorce and leaked the news? Would Nicolas or the Moran family have hoped that Maggie would disappear because of this?
Besides, Alexander had hypnotized and interrogated almost everyone, including Nicolas. Only Adele was not hypnotized. The reason was that Adele had been sick ever since Maggie’s accident. She was very sad whenever Maggie was mentioned. It was very difficult for her to stay awake. It took her a long time to recover. Coupled with her old age, she probably could not withstand the mental damage caused by hypnosis.
Avery felt that if there was an opportunity, she might have a good chat with Adele to see if there were any discoveries.
After an unknown period, exhausted, she raised her head and turned her neck. She realized that it was already past one o’clock in the morning.
"So late," she muttered. "I have to sleep."
However, how could she sleep well when she couldn’t even find an important suspect in such a big case?
