In the next episodes of “Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle”, Estelle will confess following her arrest. She will in fact reveal that it was she who tried to poison Francesco.
In the first episodes of Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle, Francesco felt unwell during the inauguration evening of the new Mistral bar. Quickly transported to hospital, the doctors discovered to their amazement that the cook had been poisoned with atropine.
A poisoning which would have taken place several weeks ago. For the police, only one person could be close enough to Francesco (Emanuele Giorgi) to do this: Estelle, his wife.
Estelle arrested by the police
In order to find out if she really tried to poison her husband, the police will follow Estelle (Elodie Varlet). And what will be their surprise when they discover that the young woman is still in contact with Djawad (David Baiot), her former lover who is already well known to the police.
Investigators also discovered that Francesco had taken out life insurance worth €400,000. A sum that would go directly to Estelle if he were to lose his life. Did Djawad and Estelle join forces to kill Francesco and thus pocket the money?
In any case, that’s what the investigators who are going to stop them for questioning think. During his interrogation, Djawad continued to proclaim his innocence but the police found under his mattress a vial of dog eye drops, a product which contains atropine.
For her part, Estelle also refutes all accusations and continues to assure the police that she and Djawad are just friends. But it seems that after several hours of interrogation, the young woman finally confessed…
Estelle confesses everything
In an extract from episode 10 of Plus belle la vie, even plus belle, posted online on the platform TF1+, Estelle, at the end of her strength, admits that she wanted to kill Francesco. While Samuel (Inaki Lartigue) asks her if she acted alone, Estelle replies, with a lost look, “There you go, we’re going to say it’s me since that’s what you want to hear.”
Samuel then retorts that he just wants to know the truth. He then asks her if she admits to having wanted to kill her husband. Estelle answers in the affirmative and adds that she wanted to kill him with atropine. Samuel continues and asks her how she managed to administer the poison to him.
She replies that she puts a few drops in her coffee every day. Samuel then asks her if she is sure she gave it to him in a hot drink. Estelle gets confused and replies that maybe she put it in a glass of water, she doesn’t remember that anymore.
She then begs Samuel to stop the interrogation because she doesn’t feel well, but the police officer doesn’t listen. He now wants to know if it was Djawad who supplied him with the atropine. But Estelle repeats once again that her former companion has nothing to do with this story. She bought atropine online.
Why would Estelle want to kill Francesco? Did she only confess to end her interrogation? One thing is certain, these confessions will have serious consequences for Estelle who will now have to redouble her efforts to prove her innocence. How will she do it? Answer in the next episodes of Plus belle la vie, even plus belle, broadcast from Monday to Friday on TF1 and available in preview on TF1+.
