Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 92

Elspeth tightened her grip on her skirt while on tenterhooks. “So, what are you trying to say?” She suddenly had a bad feeling.

“I’m saying that Ophelia is indeed the one behind this incident, including the deaths of Lydia and her mother. Ophelia is the mastermind. Of course, I’m not a part of any of those,” Arthur told her everything without hiding, which made her slightly confused.

According to Callum’s analysis, Arthur and Ophelia are most probably colluding with each other, but why is he framing her so brazenly now? “So, what’s your point?” She didn’t believe that he just wanted to be a good guy and help her clear her name.

“Well, if you can agree to one condition, I’m willing to help you prove that everything is Ophelia’s fault.”

Ophelia was just a usable pawn for him. Now that the pawn was useless, it was understandable for him to abandon her. It would be so much better if he could use her in exchange for a bigger benefit.

His condition was quite tempting because Elspeth couldn’t find any chance to look for the evidence that would prove Ophelia was behind everything in the near future. All she could do was wait for Margot to wake up, but her condition was not stable. It was hard to tell whether she would wake up or not.

Yet, Elspeth didn’t show any sign of anticipation on her face and instead said impatiently. “What condition are you talking about?”

“Marry me.”

When she heard that, she stood up sharply. “No way I’m agreeing to that.”

“Don’t rush into rejecting me first. I don’t mean for you to stay with me for the rest of your life. I just want to fake a marriage. We just need to sign the marriage certificate. When the time comes, we can file for divorce by then.” In his eyes, marrying Elspeth and obtaining the 20 percent share was the most tempting thing for him.

As for the relationship part, he thought that it was a little precarious, so he didn’t want to force it.

“Why do you want to do that?” He wants to fake a marriage, which means that he has no feelings for me at all.

Since it’s not to get me, what kind of benefit can he get from me?

I have my own reason. If you change your mind, you can drop me your reply anytime.”
