Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 176

Anthony's POV: 

Jennifer and I took my private plane back to the Osman Kingdom.

Dana, Gary and Roy were also with us.

This time, we kept the trip a secret from the public.

As soon as the plane landed, we took Roy to my private residence so that he could check on my mother.

There, we found her still sleeping soundly in bed.

I hurried to her side and watched as Roy checked my mother's condition.

I couldn't help but feel worried.

Jennifer seemed to notice and slipped her hand in mine to reassure me silently.

After a while, Roy relaxed his knitted eyebrows.

"Mrs.Jones is in a coma because of black magic.Fortunately, I can easily remove the curse."

"Please do as you see fit, Roy."

His words lifted a weight off my shoulders.

We watched from aside as Roy raised his hands, one of which clutched a magic mace.

Then, he began to chant over my mother, and a dazzling light surrounded her sleeping body.

A few minutes later, my mother's eyelashes started to flutter.

"Anthony!" she cried as soon as she woke up.

Her hands reached out towards me excitedly.

"I feel like I was trapped in an endless nightmare.My dear son, I'm so happy to see you."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

Jennifer and I hurried over to hug her.

"Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep, Mom?" I asked, patting her back gently.

"I remember not feeling well, and then Caroline brought me some porridge.After a few mouthfuls, I felt dizzy.I don't remember what happened after that," she explained.

So this was indeed Caroline's doing.

I was angry, but I couldn't say I was surprised.

"Mrs.Jones, that isn't the only crime Caroline has committed; she also had Anthony's memories erased.And now, she's with Austin.He has announced that she is going to be his queen.The coronation ceremony will be held in a few days," Jennifer told my mother.

Hearing this, my mother squeezed Jennifer's hand tightly while looking at me with concern.

I shook my head to tell her that I was fine now and she had nothing to worry about.

"But there is also some good news.We have found Dana and Gary, two soldiers of the Osman Kingdom that had fought alongside the former king and Austin.Do you remember the war many years ago? It was said that all the troops were killed, with Austin as the sole survivor.But on our trip to the Rainbow Pack, we met two more survivors.They told us the whole truth.Apparently, Austin killed the former king in order to seize the throne.Dana and Gary can testify to this.We can finally overthrow Austin's rule!" Jennifer exclaimed.

"That bastard! Truth be told, I had always suspected Austin, but a part of me couldn't believe that he was capable of killing his father.Anthony, what are you going to do? We must avenge your father!"

My mother held my hand and cursed through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, Mom.I will.We can discuss our plans with you now, actually."

This calmed her down a little, and she looked at me expectantly.

For the sake of my mother's health, I asked the maids to bring in some chairs for us, so that we didn't need to go to the study for the discussion.

After discussion, she suggested we take action against Austin at the queen's coronation ceremony to take him by surprise.

"I've also collected some evidence that proves Austin has murdered innocent people and smuggled drugs," I said gravely.

"I'll announce those cases to the public, too."

"Once those crimes are revealed, Austin will completely lose the support of the public." Jennifer winked at me, as though she was cheering me on.

‘‘That's my girl!’ I smiled.I believe my plan would succeed as long as she was by my side.Jennifer's presence made my heart feel warm.To celebrate my mother's waking up, I ordered the servants to prepare a hearty meal and invited everyone to dinner.

After the delicious food was served, my mother raised her glass to thank Roy.

In turn, Roy nodded with a smile.

Jennifer and I sat together, and from time to time, I would listen to her whisper something interesting.

The atmosphere during the dinner was harmonious and merry.

"Anthony, haven't you set the date of your wedding with Jennifer yet? After all, I want to have a grandson as soon as possible," my mother suddenly asked, winking mischievously.

It seemed she noticed how close Jennifer and I were over dinner.

"Not yet, but we'll get around to it, Mom." I glanced at Jennifer as I spoke.

Hearing what I said, Jennifer blushed and lowered her head.I chuckled to myself.Jennifer looked so cute when she was flustered.

Jennifer's POV: 

At some point during the dinner, my phone rang.It was my brother, Jerome.

After excusing myself from the table, I headed to a corner to take the call.

"Jennifer, I've found Skylar!"

Jerome announced excitedly the second the call connected.

Then he talked about how Andy had died thanks to Linda's assassination attempt.

"Oh, my God, poor Andy.I hope he's happy in heaven."
