Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV:

After leaving the church, Anthony and I headed back to the hotel.Skylar seemed a little tired, so Jerome took her back to their room to rest."I honestly don't know where I stand on Devin now."

I sat on the sofa and poured myself a glass of water.

"He cried so hard in front of the coffin.It was as though he really loved his father.I simply cannot tell if he's the murderer."

"Maybe it was just a trick he played to save himself.Remember? That's what Austin did, too." Anthony shook his head.

"Don't draw any conclusions just yer I sighed.I knew he was right.If someone had buried the truth intentionally, it was our responsibility to keep digging."You should get some rest, Anthony." I reached for his hand and led him to the sofa to sit down.

"You've been so busy the past few days.I can't help but feel sorry for you."

"When I become the king, it will be nothing but a daily routine." Anthony stroked my hair.

"Do you think you'll get used to this kind of life?"

"By then, you'll have a queen to help you deal with these problems, so you won't have to be so busy." I smiled at him teasingly.

But Anthony didn't say anything.He held my hand silently.I closed my eyes, savoring the warm moment.Just then, we heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," Anthony said loudly.

"Mr.Jones, I have some news!" An attendant burst inside.

"The guards who were investigating Grace found that she had been acting suspicious, so they began to trail her.She met up with a doctor named Adonis."

"Doctor? Why's she seeing a doctor? Is she sick?" I asked with a frown.

"They met up in secret.Fortunately, we caught them on video." As he spoke, he fished out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Anthony.

"See for yourself, Mr.Jones." Anthony and I looked at the phone's screen.On it played a video depicting Grace meeting up with a strange man in a grove.

"You have to say that it was Mandy who bought the ephedrine hydrochloride from you, got it?" While the voices in the video were a bit muffled, I could still recognize that it was Grace talking.

"Okay, but why? Didn't you ask me to put the blame on Helen? What's with the change of plans?" asked the doctor.

"Helen was proven innocent, so we need to shift the blame.We have to frame Mandy now.Anyway, quit asking me questions.Just do as I say!" Grace ordered.
