Chapter 1140: Chapter 428: A Public Proposal

"What?" There was an uproar from the audience. Everyone started looking around and whispering in disbelief. They thought she had lost her mind and could not understand how she could be so selfish as to use this occasion to do something personal.

"What's happening?" Katherine whispered to James. Because of Katherine's high-ranking status, they were in the front row as distinguished guests, they were close enough to see the sweat forming on Hazel's forehead.

"I have no idea." James frowned mysteriously.

With the crowd whispering amongst themselves, Hazel spoke again as if she didn't hear them. "Last year, I unexpectedly met a man. At first, I thought the timing was really bad, but since then, my whole world has become a mess!"

The crowd hushed suddenly, and they stared at Hazel, waiting for her to continue.

Joshua never took his eyes off her; he had an idea of what she was planning, and his heart filled with warmth.
