Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 68: Austin's Threat 

Anthony's POV: 

It had been several days since my mother had disappeared.

I had sent many guards to look for her, but it wasn't until now that Dylan finally uncovered a clue about her whereabouts.

It turned out that Austin had ordered some of his attendants to transfer my mother to the south.

Since she was in poor health and would need medicine to sustain her, they would definitely send the medicine to the place where she was being kept.

As long as I followed the medicine, I would be able to find my mother.

What I didn't understand was why Austin hadn't made a direct threat even though it had been so many days since he had taken my mother away.

What on earth was he planning to do? "I guess he wanted to frame me for her disappearance, "Jennifer said, furrowing her eyebrows in thought.

"And since that didn't work, he'll probably come up with another way to force you to give in.We have to find Mrs.Jones as soon as possible."

"You're right.I think "

I was about to say that I would go and look for my mother myself, when my attendant rushed in and informed me that Austin had arrived.

Austin was finally here to see me.

Now that he had found out that I was still alive, he probably wanted to threaten me with the safety of my mother.

"Anthony, try your best to stall for time.I'll go and rescue your mother," Jennifer suggested.

I knew why she came up with such a plan.

If I left the royal palace now, Austin would definitely know what I was up to.

If he transferred my mother to another place, it would be even more difficult to save her.

It would be better for me to pretend that I had no idea where my mother was and stall Austin for time.

Once my mother was saved, I could deal with him.

I nodded solemnly at Jennifer.

"But don't leave right away.Hide here and listen to what Austin will say.Maybe we can get some other clues."

"Okay."

As per my instructions, Jennifer found a place to hide.

Soon, Austin walked in alone after asking the royal attendants to wait outside.

"My dear brother, what's wrong?"

As soon as Austin entered the living room, he sat on the sofa and leaned back, crossing his legs.

Even his tone was mocking.
