My Sweetheart novel Chapter 512

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.

This tiara had been the dowry of Mathew's deceased wife. Later, it had been handed down to Joseph's mother Hazel. After she died, it had been kept safely in the family museum.

Joseph's eyes bristled with rage in the sight of it on Ella's head.

Clutching it, he walked down the platform.

Mathew quickly ordered his men to stop Joseph, looking glum.

However, Joseph was now a walking mess of fury with chilly eyes, so no one dared to come near him.

Kathy had long been stupefied as she gaped at Joseph walking towards her slicing through the crowd.

The reporters' cameras were staring at Kathy, but she could only see the handsome and noble man in front of her.

He was holding the tiara in a way as if it was his most precious treasure.

Finally, he stopped before her.

He knelt on one knee, and Kathy's pale devastated face was now dripping with surprise.

What was Joseph doing?

"Kathy, you are the only woman I want to marry. This tiara was originally my grandmother's dowry and is handing down to my wife. You are the one for me, so only you can wear it."

Tears had been springing to Kathy's eyes, and she was covering her mouth to avoid sobbing.

However, she just let them roll down her cheeks and didn't take the tiara, her hands trembling.

She did not forget it had been on Ella's head just now.

And Mathew meant to celebrate Joseph and Ella's engagement.

"Kathy, you are mine." Joseph stood up and put it on her head.

The somewhat heavy tiara dotted with diamonds and precious gems was worth hundreds of millions.

Kathy was dumbfounded. She pouted but could not utter a sound.
