Chapter 644 A Proposal

Smart, ever the clever one, suspected Daniel had a plan. But with the searing pain in his backside, he had no choice but to seek treatment-so, begrudgingly, he stuck his rear out.

"Hey, country bumpkin, be gentle, alright! And don't do anything inappropriate! If you dare, I swear I won't let it slide!" Smart half-warned, half- threatened.

"Don't worry, Smart, I'll be as gentle as a lamb,” Daniel chuckled.

But as soon as he finished his sentence, Daniel launched a forceful kick that sent Smart crashing to the floor. Smart's recently fitted, million-dollar titanium teeth scattered as several were knocked out.

"You country jerk, you kicked me?"

"Didn't you say your butt was hurting? I'm helping you out here! Feel your backside and tell me if it's still sore."

Smart skeptically gave his behind a pat, only to discover, to his surprise, the pain had vanished.

"My rear doesn't hurt anymore! It stopped completely!" Smart shouted, and for a moment, the crowd looked on in silence, barely containing their laughter.

And then, the chuckles broke free.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Laughter rolled over the room, turning it into a sea of joy and a paradise of ridicule. Smart, once so imposing, was now the night's biggest joke.

Amid the commotion, melodious piano music filled the air, and a misty fog began to billow across the room, cloaking everyone in a thick veil.

While the others couldn't see

through the fog, Daniel's unique abilities allowed him a clear vision that even the darkest night couldn't obscure, let alone a man-made mist.

As white smoke rose, staff members skirted through with armfuls of flowers to set up the stage, quickly conjuring a heart-shaped platform made entirely of roses, with O precisely 99,999 roses of each color.

Anyone with common sense could see it a romantic stage for a proposal. But for whom?

As the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the floral heart array, everyone gasped in awe.

"Is someone proposing at tonight's gala?"

"Who's getting engaged? It's quite a big deal!"

"Who's the lucky one being proposed to? This is just so romantic!"

"Absolutely! Who could say no to such a proposal? If someone proposed to me like this, I'd say yes without a second thought. I'd marry him in a heartbeat!"

The crowd buzzed with curiosity and envy, all eager to discover who was proposing and to whom.

Suddenly, a grand piano descended

from the sky, accompanied by a man dressed in a white Armani suit. Following it down was Declan Hal the second heir of The Halls family-one of Washington DC.'s top eight families, ranking fifth in prominence.
