My Sweetheart

Joseph's face tensed up as his eyes drifted over to meet Kathy's. Frowning, he headed towards the high platform.

Ella was intimidated by his cold and solemn countenance and retreated.

"Stand right here," Mathew ordered.

Ella stopped.

Her heart raced as she nervously watched Joseph approaching her step by step.

"Grandfather."

"I'm coming." Mathew stood up with the help of his walking stick. Now Ella and Joseph were standing on either side of him.

Jealousy swept over Kathy as she watched the trio in harmony on the high platform.

Joseph was dressed in a black handmade suit, while Ella was wearing a gauzy white dress. It appeared to Kathy that Mathew was the witness for the love of this adorable pair.

Kathy's mind was awhirl with this unsettling thought as her face grew pale.

The next moment, Mathew stated loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Joseph Group, as well as my grandson Joseph and Ella's engagement!"

Engagement?

Kathy was hit hard by the word and felt dizzy.

The glass in her hand fell from her loose grip, but Reece caught it.

A faint smile touched his thin lips when he noticed Kathy's ashen face.

The guests were delirious with joy and surprise. The reporters in the crowd exerted themselves to capture the fair couple immersed in nuptial bliss, the flash dazzling.

Mathew lifted their hands. Just as they were about to touch, Joseph shook off Mathew's hand.

A sinister look flashed in his eyes as he walked around Mathew to Ella.

However, Ella was nervously gazing at Joseph in anticipation.

She slowly held out her hand for Joseph's large palm, but before she could react, Joseph took off her tiara.
