Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 152

Jennifer's POV: 

Skylar was so drunk that she kept spurting out nonsense.

It was my first time to see her so sad, and I felt sorry for her.

"Please take good care of her.If anything happens, come straight to me,"

I told the maid responsible for taking care of Skylar.

"Okay, Miss Smith," the maid responded.

I took Skylar back to her room and gave her some medicine to sober her up.

When I was sure she was going to be okay, I reminded the maid to look after her carefully before leaving.

As I walked back to my room, I thought about Skylar's situation and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

I thought Jerome would be able to take care of it, but their relationship was turning sour very quickly.

When I reached my room, I found Anthony waiting for me inside.

"How's Jerome?" I asked him.

"Drunk as hell.Jerome kept wailing Skylar's name.He really loves her.Anyway, I think he has fallen asleep already,"

Anthony said with a shake of his head, wrapping his arms around me in a warm embrace.

"What on earth was he thinking? He didn't even try to stop Skylar from drinking.Instead, he got drunk with her!" I pouted.

"Don't worry.They're both adults.Plus, as long as they really love each other, no one will get in between them."Anthony comforted me.

"You're right," I said with a sigh.

Anthony made sense.

After all, he and I encountered many obstacles before we got together, and it was our love that fueled us to prevail.

Surely, it would be the same for Skylar and Jerome, since they loved each other so much.

"Honey, did you dig up any dirt about Linda's past? Have you heard anything from your men regarding the Lavender Pack? I've always suspected Linda has been hiding something.I even have a feeling she is scheming against us.I don't mean to be judgmental, but I just feel like the timing was off.Why did she come back just when my brother was about to become the Alpha? It's really strange.Besides, we're still not sure if Andy's actually my brother's child."

"I hear you, and I agree.Linda's a bit of a sketchy character.That's why I asked my men to look into it.However, I haven't heard anything from them yet."

Anthony shook his head.

"Thank you, honey."

I rested my head on Anthony's shoulder, letting him run his fingers through my hair.

All of a sudden, Anthony seemed to remember something and his expression grew serious.

"Since you think Linda is hiding something from us and Andy is not Jerome's son, is it possible that someone tampered with the paternity test results? Maybe we can start there and investigate the doctor who conducted the test,"

Anthony suggested.

Why didn't I think of it before? I perked up immediately.

Anthony was right.

"Honey, you're a genius!" I exclaimed happily.

But after a while, my smile faded.

"But I don't understand.Nick works in the pack hospital.There's no reason for him to help Linda cheat the test result.Why would he risk his career to help a stranger?" I sighed.

"Anything is possible," Anthony reminded me.

"How about this? I can send my attendants to keep an eye on Nick for a while to see if he does anything suspicious.Meanwhile, you can get the paternity test report from Jerome.I'll have someone double check it."

"Sounds like a plan!" I beamed at him.

Anthony was a great help.

Anthony's POV: 

After discussing what to do about Linda, I finally saw Jennifer smile.I smiled back at her.

Whenever she felt sad, I felt sad; conversely, whenever she felt happy, I felt happy.

I wished she would never be sad and swore to myself I would do anything to make her happy.

"Jennifer, let's go somewhere."

"Where?"

"You're about to find out" I whispered in her ear.

With that, I led her to the open-air balcony where we had a broad view of the city below us.

Outside the Rainbow House, lots of werewolves and cars were passing by.

The night life had just begun.

"Honey, let's do it here,"

I suggested with a sly grin, picking her up in my arms.

I made her wrap her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, while I supported her from her buttocks.

"What? There are so many people down there! They'll see us!"

Jennifer tightened her grip around my neck and scolded me bashfully.

"Honey, I need to confess.Ever since the ball, I've been wanting to have sex with you.Won't you help me out here?"
