Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2088

Everyone's jaws dropped in astonishment. Everyone except Liam was seeing Yuliana's crown for the first time.

Even if they were already well-acquainted, it remained a fact that the crown was a symbol of royal lineage. How could it be gifted to someone else just like that?

"Ah! Ah!" Lauren's cheeks burned crimson. She waved her hands repeatedly to decline. Flattered as she was, the thought of even touching the crown terrified her.

"This is far too valuable a gift, Your Highness."

Jasper stepped forward and gently turned Yuliana down. "Lauren is incredibly grateful for your kindness, but perhaps you should—"

"It's none of your business to whom I want to give it!" Yuliana interrupted, her chin jutting out defiantly.

She then cast him a haughty sidelong glance. "Besides, this is a reward from me. Who would dare to turn me down?"

Jasper was speechless. He wondered if he was becoming more advanced in years that he was making others annoyed with his words.

Colene clicked her tongue, muttering, "Why is the princess putting on a show here? It's the modern era. Plus, she's not a princess from the Regency era. Why is she giving a reward?"

"Don't say that, Colene." Miley tugged at Colene's arm. With a gentle gaze, she smiled and said, "Princess Yuliana is the only daughter to His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness. It's no surprise that they brought her up with lots of love and care.

"So, it's normal for her to be a little more demanding. But Princess Yuliana is a good person. She's innocent and kind. Otherwise, she wouldn't become friends with me, nor would she have…"

Miley trailed off, her gaze flitting toward Liam, who stood tall and silent at the back.

Liam appeared to be looking past the crowd and in Lauren's direction. However, his gaze was fixed on Yuliana's face the entire time. A flicker of concern flickered in their depths, gradually morphing into a burning intensity.

Yuliana pouted stubbornly. Although she might have looked arrogant, others didn't view her as despicable. "It's too embarrassing to take back something I've already given. It's a disgrace to the royal family!"

Rose and Tatiana couldn't hold back their laughter. Alyssa was the only one helplessly shaking her head at the situation.
