Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 316

Jennifer's POV: 

As Anthony and I were eating dinner, a maid suddenly walked up to me.

"Mrs.Jones, Amelia wishes to see you," she reported politely.

Amelia had texted me earlier, saying that she was going to meet Larry this evening.

Frankly, I was just relieved to hear that she had come back safe and sound.

"Invite her here!" I said hurriedly.

Anthony overheard what the maid had said and stood up.

He went to the door of the dining room with me to receive Amelia.

"Jennifer!"

Amelia rushed in breathlessly.Her cheeks were rosy pink, her eyes twinkled, and she wore an excited smile.

"I did it! I drugged Larry!"

My jaw nearly dropped to the floor.I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

Larry was drugged! Everything was moving as we had expected.I immediately reached for Amelia's hands and squeezed them excitedly.

"That's wonderful news, Amelia! You're awesome! I can't believe it!"

But then, her face fell.

"I don't mean to dash your hopes, Jennifer, but I noticed that Larry didn't react after ingesting the drug.What if it doesn’t work?"

Anthony stepped in to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Amelia.Morgan told me that it will take a while before the drug takes effect.At first, the victim will experience no symptoms, but as time passes, the effect will be more and more evident.In the end, the magic energy of the drugged wizard will become weaker and weaker, maybe even to a point where he can't use magic ever again."

"Oh, I see," Amelia murmured.

She still had a worried look on her face.

"But I'm still worried that Larry will notice when his power starts to fade and that he'll develop an antidote.When he figures out that he was drugged, he'll know I did it.He'll definitely find a chance to take revenge!"

As Amelia spoke, fear filled her big eyes.I looked at her sympathetically, fully understanding where she was coming from.

After all, Larry had imprisoned and tortured her for decades.I was already amazed that she had plucked up the courage to face him time and time again.

"Don't worry, Amelia.Larry isn’t that powerful.Even if he found out that he was drugged, his magic energy would have almost faded away by then.If we all work together, we'll definitely be able to subdue him then."

I patted her gently on the back, trying to comfort her.

Fortunately, it seemed to work somewhat.

Amelia's furrowed brows gradually relaxed and she smiled at us.

"Thank you, Jennifer.You're right.I shouldn't worry too much."

"I think everything from here on out will be much easier to handle."

I smiled back at her warmly.

"Amelia, when the magic drug on Larry starts to take effect and his magic energy decreases, can you contact him? We need to lure him out of his hiding spot.The rest of us will be hiding in the shadows.When he shows up, we'll fight together and defeat him."

"Okay, Jennifer.Just tell me what to do.You're very clever."

Amelia nodded in agreement and looked at me gratefully.

I quickly waved my hand and shook my head.

"No, no.I won't dare to take credit.You're the one we should be thanking, Amelia!"

"She's right, Amelia,"Anthony echoed.

"We wouldn't have come this far without you.Thank you so much for your help."

"Oh, I just did what I had to..." Amelia blushed.

"I was the one who got everyone into this predicament after all."

"Don't say that, Amelia.That's not true."
