Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 314: Success 

Jennifer's POV:

As we had breakfast, I couldn't stop thinking about what Skylar had toldlast night.

Resting my chin on my hand, I looked at Anthony and asked, "Hey, honey, how much do you know about the Dracula Clan?"

Anthony put down the knife and frowned slightly.

"Not much, to be honest.I just know that they're the royal family of the vampires.Their logo is the hexagram, which is the mark on Skylar’s wrist.Jennifer, why do you ask? Did something happen to Skylar?"

I relayed to him everything that Skylar had said on the phone yesterday.

"The vampire she met had a lightning pattern on his wrist.He saw Skylar use his special power, so he kept asking Skylar which clan was she from.He looked friendly and harmless.All the same, I asked Skylar not to contact him anymore and to keep a distance from him for the tbeing."

As I spoke, I remembered how helpless Skylar sounded on the phone.

"Although Skylar doesn't want to step on vampires’ territory, she still wants to know who her parents are and why they abandoned her.It's only natural that she wonders about where she cfrom."

"Oh, I see.I'll send my men to look into it.But inquiring about the vampires is no easy feat.After all, they're very wary of us.It may take stto find out the answer," Anthony replied.

I nodded.

"Such a thing can't be forced.As long as you do your best, I'll be grateful.Thank you."

Anthony smiled at me.

Just as he was about to say something more, his phone started to ring.

Anthony answered the phone immediately.

"What's up?"

After listening to the person on the other end of the line for a while, Anthony suddenly broke into a wide smile.

"Okay, I see.Thank you for your hard work.Jennifer and I are sincerely grateful."

After saying that, Anthony hung up the phone and looked atwith a twinkle in his eye.

"Morgan called.He said that they were successful in developing the magic drug to deal with Larry."

At first, I was stunned.

Then, I stood up and clapped my hands excitedly.

"Oh, my God! That's great news!"

I couldn't believe my ears.

Was I dreaming? The magic medicine that we were going to use to drug Larry had been successfully developed.

We were basically halfway through our plan to take down that damned wizard.

I was so happy that I pounced on Anthony and hugged him tightly.

"Honey, I'll ask them to give the magic drug to Amelia as soon as possible.It's only a matter of time before Larry falls into her trap.Our success rides on her now." Anthony kissedon the forehead.

"If we succeed, we'll finally be rid of the evil Larry!"

"I believe in Amelia.She's a smart witch, and she hates Larry, too."

I looked at Anthony with fierce determination.

Anthony couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yes, you're right.After we get rid of Larry, we will have nothing to worry about anymore.Our child will be able to live a life without fear.The three of us will live happily ever after.I sighed with emotion, yearning for the wonderful life Anthony had just described.I leaned against his chest and smiled sweetly, daydreaming about our bright future.Yes, when Larry was out of the picture, our life would be a lot more peaceful.

After all, after the storm comes a beautiful rainbow.

Amelia's POV: I had been in touch with Larry consistently the past few days.

He kept textingstupid sweet words.

I wanted him to let his guard down, so I replied just as amicably.

At spoint, I started to call Larry "honey."

This seemed to work, because his attitude towardsgrew more gentle and loving.

"Babe, I miss you so much.I miss your hair, your beautiful eyes, and just about everything about you!"

As soon as I finished my lunch, I read Larry's text message.

I drew a breath, feeling both delighted and disgusted.

Delighted because Larry was comfortable withand relaxed his vigilance.

Disgusted because I hated him with a passion.I reassured myself that this would all be over soon enough.I just needed to wait for the magic drug.

Surprisingly, the magic drug would be developed so fast.

That afternoon, after taking a nap, a maid suddenly knocked on my door.

When I let her in, I saw that she was carrying a vial.

"Amelia, Morgan and Roy made this magic medicine for you.They said it was to refresh yourself."

The innocent girl had no clue about the real power behind this magic drug.

She handedthe vial and left, closing the door behind her.I set the bottle on the table and stared at it anxiously.

My hands were trembling from excitement.

Of course, I knew that it wasn't for refreshing.

It was actually a kind of poison that would make Larry lose his magic power.

I had already discussed this matter with Morgan and Roy prior.

We had agreed to have the magic drug delivered tounder the guise of it being a refreshing potion in order to prevent Larry from finding out the truth.

After all, we had no idea whether he was hiding in sdark corner of the palace, keeping an eye on us at all times.

I couldn't believe that this was really happening.

As I looked at the vial of magic medicine, I was so happy that tears welled up in my eyes.

It tooka while before I managed to calm myself down.

Even though the plan was moving along smoothly, I couldn't relax just yet.

I still needed to trick Larry into taking the drug.I paced my room back and forth, wondering how I could drug Larry.

Larry was a cunning wizard.

I couldn't dare to act rashly, lest he would findout.

The plan would fail completely in that case.

What was I supposed to do? Should I take initiative and ask him out? No, that would be too obvious.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed.It was a text from Morgan.

"Be careful with the magic drug, Amelia.It is harmful to all witches.Once the magic drug takes effect, its victim's magic energy will gradually be reduced."

"Don't worry.I'll be careful.Larry will soon lose his magic power and everyone will be able to relax.Thank you, honey."

As I typed out my reply, I felt warm in my heart.I missed my husband's warm embrace.

To my surprise, the second I hit send, I suddenly received a message from Larry.

"Amelia, I miss you so much.Can we meet at the park tomorrow evening?"

It seemed that God was on my side.

With a slight smile, I replied to Larry and agreed to his request.

The following day, I wore a tight-fitting dress on purpose to seduce Larry.

When dusk fell, I headed to the park alone.

As soon as I got to the park, I saw that Larry was already there, waiting near the entrance.

He was still using magic to mask his true appearance with his youthful face.

As soon as he caught sight of me, he burst into a smile and approached me.

"You're finally here, honey! Do you have any idea how much I missed you? Let’s leave this damned place as soon as possible, okay?"

I leaned against his chest and replied lightly, "Okay.I'll leave with you soon."

Fortunately, I had mentally prepared myself for this beforehand.I needed to deal with Larry as calmly and as naturally as possible.

No matter what he said, I needed to face him with a smile.

Larry took my hand and ledalong the park's path.

"Do you remember the first twe fell in love? You always askedto meet you in the park.That's why I wanted to meet you in a park this time."

It was rare for Larry to remindof our past.

I looked up at the bright moon in the sky and couldn't help but reminisce the tLarry and I loved each other.

How charming he was back then! I loved him with all my heart at the time.

However, thad passed and things had changed.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, drinking in the crisp, night air.

When I opened my eyes, I pretended to blush and said, "Yes, I remember.How nostalgic!"

As I spoke, I secretly brushed my fingers against the vial in my handbag, sighing inwardly.

Obviously, I would have no chance to drug Larry here in the park.

I needed us to go to a restaurant as soon as possible so that I could drug his food and let him ingest it naturally.

"Honey, to be honest, I'm a little hungry.How about we grab dinner together?"

After walking around the park for a while, I made a suggestion to Larry as coolly as I could.

Larry happily agreed.

"Good idea.What do you want to eat? We can go anywhere you want.Let's go!"

Larry hailed a taxi on the street.

Holding my hand, he told the driver to take us to the most luxurious restaurant in the area.
