Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 54

Caroline's POV: 

My jaw clenched in annoyance.

Was Anthony defending Jennifer? He dared to defend that bitch even during such an occasion! On the outside, I looked calm; but on the inside, I was seething.

"You are right, Anthony."

I nodded with a smile.

Elizabeth chimed in, "I also believe that identity and status should not matter when it comes to fated mates.After all, it has all been decided by Moon Goddess.Caroline is young and quite outspoken.Don't take her words to heart, Jennifer.She didn't mean to offend you."

"I understand, Mrs.Jones."

Jennifer picked up her wine glass.

"I don't hold the princess's opinions against her.She is kind and enthusiastic so I believe she said that without any malice.Cheers, Miss Wilson.I was surprised when Jennifer proposed a toast in my honor, but I raised my glass as well.When she clinked her glass with mine, I pretended to be clumsy and spilled red wine on Jennifer's dress.Her dress became stained with red, and the expression on her face looked funny.

"Oh, no! I'm really sorry, Jennifer!"

I quickly apologized.

"You're very understanding, so you won't hold this against me, right?"

Seeing Jennifer look embarrassed made me very happy.

However, before I could bask in my success, that bitch threw her wine at me.

I had no time to dodge so I got red wine all over me.

My expensive custom dress got red stains on it.

I felt embarrassed to look more disheveled than Jennifer was.

That bitch actually dared to provoke a princess? What pissed me off more was when Jennifer put on an innocent look and apologized to me.

"Oops.I'm sorry, Miss Wilson.You'll forgive me for being so clumsy, won't you?"

My hands balled into fists in my anger.

At that moment, Anthony stood and started wiping at the red stains on Jennifer's outfit with tissues.

He looked concerned about her.

I felt like I was going crazy.

I was his younger sister.

Shouldn't he tend to me first? Why did he look after Jennifer instead? I walked up to Anthony and shoved him out of the way.

Jennifer was surprised by my actions, but I smiled and calmly made my way to the bathroom.

"Mom, Anthony, Jennifer, please excuse me while I go to the bathroom."

"Don't take too long, Caroline,"

Elizabeth replied softly.

I nodded and then stepped out of the hall.

Before I could enter the bathroom, I noticed something strange.

A shadow alerted me to the presence of someone behind me.

Startled, I quickly turned around and saw who was stalking me.

It turned out to be one of the trainees who had been invited to the welcome party.

I recalled that this man's name was Kevin.

He staggered before me and grabbed my wrist in his drunken stupor.

"After thinking it through, I shouldn't have rejected you, Jennifer.I regret doing that.Can you give me another chance?"

Hearing Jennifer's name leave Kevin's lips left me stunned for a few seconds.

Did this drunkard know Jennifer? I shook the man off and stepped back in horror.

"Are you insane? Who are you?" I was a princess.

How dare this crazy drunkard grab me like some common floozy? "Jennifer, have you forgotten me already? It's me, Kevin."

Kevin wrapped me in a hug.

"Don't leave me, Jennifer.You're all I can think about these days.I want to be with you.I want you to be my Luna."

"You lunatic!"

Frightened, I struggled to get out of his hold.

"Let go of me!"

Oh my God! This drunkard did nothing but call out for Jennifer.

Did that bitch have an affair with him? Those she-wolves were right.
