Chapter 2 - For money

Elsa, who had been watched by that cold gaze for a long time, finally sensed that someone was watching her. She raised her head and met the gaze of the man in the wheelchair, whose facial contours were unusually handsome, his sexy thin lips pursed, and his deep eyes penetrated with gloom. The two men gazed at each other in silence, but no one opened their mouths to speak first. Loren, the maid, felt that they were awkward, so she stepped in to liven up the atmosphere and said.

"President, madam, happy wedding!"

Geoffrey immediately ordered coldly, "Okay, you go down!" "Then the two of you rest early!" Geoffrey's face was gloomy, and Elsa, as an outsider, could only greet him first with a little embarrassment. "Hi, how are you! You are Mr. ......Kane, right?"

Geoffrey looked at Elsa with somewhat unhappy narrowed eyes and chided very unhappily, "Who told you to sit? Don't you touch anything in this room in the future!"

Elsa was a little confused, this person should not have a high degree of cleanliness, right? Geoffrey looked up and down Elsa once, his eyes fell on the dirt of her clothes, his face instantly ugly again a few points. "Get your ass off the couch!" Elsa didn't dare to confront him, so she immediately got up from the couch and wanted to go out.

But as soon as she tried to take a step, her feet felt numb like pins and needles.

Her body lost its balance and fell heavily in Geoffrey's direction.

Elsa subconsciously reached out her hand to grab something to keep herself from falling, but all she grabbed were some unstable things and ended up falling directly into Geoffrey's arms. The glass of water on the coffee table was shaking on the edge because of Elsa's violent impact, and she panicked and tried to get up from Geoffrey, but she didn't expect to knock the glass over again. The water in the glass spilled on Geoffrey, the atmosphere instantly became gloomy. But the most irritating thing at this moment is that Elsa's elbow is inadvertently resting on the most intimate part of Geoffrey's lower body.

Geoffrey sucked in a breath of cold air in pain and said through gritted teeth, "Woman, don't you get lost!"

Elsa then looked at Geoffrey as an afterthought, and thought she had gotten Geoffrey's clothes wet before he got angry. She wanted to get a tissue to wipe Geoffrey, but suddenly realized that a hand seemed to have been misplaced, so Elsa hurriedly retracted her hand. Her originally white face was instantly as red as the fire, and her ears were not spared, even redder than her face.

Although Geoffrey did not say anything else, but Elsa can not help but still some self-condemnation.

So she started apologizing to Geoffrey over and over again.

"Sorry, sorry! Just now I did not stand still, brought you trouble, really sorry!" In the face of Elsa's apology, some impatient Geoffrey looked violent and cursed in a low voice, "fuck! He clenched his fist and ordered to Elsa: "Come here!" Elsa didn't want to listen to anyone's orders, but the thought of her mother, who was still lying in a hospital bed, and Eugene's warning, and the stinging marriage certificate. Everything had turned out to be true, and backing down was impossible, so she had to compromise.

Elsa took a deep breath and bit her lower lip as she moved a little closer to Geoffrey.

"Come here some more." Elsa moved a little closer to Geoffrey again. "Not close enough."

This was the closest Elsa could accept, and she didn't want to go any further, but Eugene's warning rang in her head.

"If you go and get me into any trouble, you'll be waiting to come back and collect your mother's body!"

Elsa bent down a little and slowly approached Geoffrey, suddenly a large palm powerfully pinched Elsa's jaw.

The jaw instantly came like a bone crushing pain, strong Elsa did not cry out in pain, just gritted his teeth to bear.

A cold voice came into Elsa's ears, "Say, how much did those Campbell guys pay you to impersonate the bride?"

But Elsa, who was now in pain, did not hear clearly what the other party had just said. Seeing Elsa who did not say a word, Geoffrey suddenly showed a smile. "Say, how much did he pay you I'll pay double!"

When she heard Geoffrey actually say that he would pay double, Elsa was indeed moved.

Geoffrey saw the greed on Elsa's face couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, the woman in front of her was really the same as Eugene was the kind of goods that would do anything for profit.

Unfortunately Elsa is not a person who does not keep his word, Eugene is not a very good partner, but after all, has promised him, so must be adhered to.

Although Elsa disliked Eugene's compulsion, but now her mother's life was the most important thing.

Elsa finally smiled, shook her head and said, "Sir, you may have guessed wrong! Believe it or not, I'm a Campbell, and I didn't make any deal with them!"

In Geoffrey's eyes, Elsa was a tough talker for the sake of profit, and the violent Geoffrey clenched his rock-hard fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the wheelchair.

The sudden noise made Elsa backed up timidly.

Elsa looked incredulously at Geoffrey, who was so furious in front of her, and was terrified.

Geoffrey with can instantly freeze everything cold eyes to look at Elsa, tone without a little temperature: "Eugene-Campbell's family I have investigated, his daughter is not as meek as you, can have a series of bad label. It can be said that their family is this ugly face."

For some reason, Elsa felt that all the labels Geoffrey had put on the Campbell family were too good to be true.

"If you know all that, sir, and you know the Campbells are that bad! Then why did you marry their daughter?"

"Heh! I can interpret that as you just being called by Eugene to take the place."

Elsa exhaled a breath, her tone much calmer, and responded lightly.

"Sir, are you sure you really checked it out? Eugene-Campbell has more than one daughter!" Geoffrey frowned in confusion, the woman in front of him was actually Eugene's illegitimate daughter? I didn't think Eugene would dare to let an illegitimate daughter to join the marriage, it seems his company is not wanted! Feeling received Geoffrey's disgusted gaze, Elsa pursed her lips kindly reminded.

"In the future, sir, when you want to do these things, please understand well, and I know what you are thinking, I am not some Eugene's illegitimate daughter, but his and his ex-wife's eldest daughter. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to investigate."

Geoffrey was a little shocked how this woman could be so unrestrained, not only lambasting herself for not investigating properly, but also daring to say that she had problems with her expression.

Geoffrey fell silent and began to falter a bit.

Indeed, Geoffrey was at first confused by appearances. He sent someone to investigate also only Wendy-Campbell, because everyone thought Eugene only had such a daughter.

When his family sent someone to inform Eugene, they also only said they would marry the Campbell's daughter, such a big loophole that Geoffrey was a little annoyed.

"You said you are the Campbell's daughter, why haven't you seen Eugene bring you out to the party?"

Geoffrey looked at Elsa, who was crouched on the floor dealing with a skinned knee from a recent fall.

Elsa looked up afterwards and met his eyes with a bitter smile, "I wonder if you want to know the simple or complicated version of this story, sir?"

Geoffrey listened to this and just felt that the woman in front of him was making excuses and didn't want to say one more word to her.

In the end Elsa managed to find herself a step down.

"Seeing how impatient you are, I'll say the simple version! I, Elsa-Campbell, am Eugene's eldest daughter, a daughter who was never loved, so it's only natural that you don't know of my existence."

No matter how much the woman in front of him made up her Campbell family's origin, Geoffrey determined in his heart that this woman was Eugene's paid hire, and could not be his real daughter.

"Eugene the bastard thing, actually married a fake to me. You're not a good bitch either, running for a little money!" Elsa got a little angry at those words, and although she knew she shouldn't anger the man in front of her, she couldn't help but start retorting when she felt offended.

"Right! What's wrong with the fact that I just need money? I somehow got tied up here to marry a man I don't know, do you think I want to? And feel free to scold Eugene if you want, but please don't use such vicious words to insult a lady you just met! Your honorable Mr. Kane!"

After saying this series of words, Elsa was a little thirsty, but she did not care about the etiquette, directly grabbed a glass of water on the table and drank it down. Putting down the glass of water, Elsa again saw the two marriage certificates on the coffee table. Thinking of her mother, who was still in bed, thinking of her surgery in a week's time, thinking that if Eugene knew that Elsa had disgusted Geoffrey-Kane, he would have decided to withdraw the money for her mother's treatment.

After pondering, Elsa once again chose to compromise.

She slowly walked to Geoffrey squatted down in front of him, took a deep breath, and then took a tissue and wiped the water stains on Geoffrey's body with a somewhat shaky hand.

"Mr. Kane, I'm really sorry for not letting you marry the person you want to marry. Don't be angry, since we're already married, you don't want to go from married to divorced in a day's time!" Geoffrey was a little surprised by Elsa's sudden change of attitude. The woman in front of him had a good point! It was shameful to impersonate her, but they were now married with a license. Faced with this fact that he had to admit, Geoffrey looked down at Elsa and thought that her cheeks didn't look so disgusting anymore, and she could barely stay for a few more days.  Suddenly, Geoffrey felt something moving on his inner thighs, and alertly looked down to see a white hand wiping away the water stains there. "Woman, these water stains will not dry for a while. I have to take a bath every day, and now the servants have rested, so I want you to wash it for me."
