Can’t Win Me Back

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.

Why is she giving a reward?" "Don't say that, Colene." Miley tugged at Colene's arm.
