Chapter 674
Winston smirked at Jasper’s thick-skinned behavior.
“I haven’t prepared anything extravagant, but I believe it’s the thought behind a gift that
truly matters. I
hope Madam Lyla likes it,” Jasper humbly remarked.
Alyssa rested her chin on her hand and raised an inquisitive eyebrow at him. It was rare
for him to show
such a friendly side to anyone. He was indeed a good actor.
“Since Mr. Beckett has put thought into the gift, let’s see what it is,” Winston replied
somewhat
reluctantly. Lyla smiled helplessly at Winston’s expression. He clearly held some disdain
for Jasper.
Jameson found Winston’s expression rather comical and believed that Jasper could never
make amends
with the Taylor family after offending them with his poor treatment of Alyssa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Lyla and Winston unveiled the gift, they discovered a golden tiara adorned with
diamonds inside a
glass box.
Lyla’s heart raced, and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Lyla, what’s the matter?” Winston gently asked, noticing her emotional reaction.
She quickly composed herself and offered him a radiant smile. “Winston, I absolutely
adore Mr. Beckett’s
gift.”
Her voice resonated through the hall via the microphone, surprising everyone, including
Alyssa, who was
perplexed by Lyla’s appreciation for the tiara.
After all, it wasn’t made from top-quality materials. The only remarkable aspect was its
exquisite
craftsmanship. It resembled a prop for a stage performance.
“Lyla, I don’t get it …” Winston sounded confused.
Lyla’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Before she explained the situation, she calmly
looked at Jasper and
questioned, “Mr. Beckett, may I know where you found this tiara?”
“It’s a long story. I obtained it from a retired craftsman after some effort,” Jasper replied
with a somber
expression.
“He had been holding onto this tiara. I initially tried to purchase it at a high price, but he
declined.
“When I revealed that I wanted to give the tiara to you as a birthday gift, he was touched
by the thought
and gave it to me for free. That was how I lucked out.”
Hearing that, Lyla’s tears rolled down her cheeks. She questioned, “Was It Mr. Hahn who
worked on the
set of ‘The Cyrrisian Beauty’?”
Jasper nodded. “Yes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLyla covered her mouth to stifle her cries. Shocked by the revelation, Alyssa hurriedly
searched for
information about “The Cyrrisian Beauty” on her phone.
“The Cyrrisian Beauty” turned out to be a classic drama that had aired two decades ago. It
had been a
cultural phenomenon, and Lyla had played the role of the queen in the show.
It was the very TV series that had propelled Lyla to stardom. During TS Network’s
anniversary event, the company had even prepared a special stage for Lyla to perform a
song as the Queen of Cyrris, earning a round of thunderous applause.
The golden tiara was the same one worn by the Queen of Cyrris in that iconic show,
brought to life by Lyla.
“No wonder …” Alyssa mused, her eyes locking onto Jasper with newfound understanding.
Jasper had won this round. Even if she disliked Jasper, she had to admit that he had put in
effort for the gift.
Despite his simple introduction of the gift, Alyssa knew he must have put in lots of time
and effort to secure the tiara that meant everything to Lyla. It was undoubtedly a heartfelt
gesture.
