Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 249: Helen's Release From Prison

Helen's POV:

As soon as I saw my father's face, I felt a lump in my throat.All of a sudden, I couldn't bear the suffering
I had been going through these past few days.I threw myself into his arms and cried bitterly.

"Dad! Dad, I missed you so much!"

My tears soaked my father's shirtsleeve as I buried my face in his arms.

"I'm sorry.I must've worried you."

"Silly girl, don't apologize."

My father hugged me back.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at me sadly.

"My dear, you have suffered a lot, haven't you?"

"Helen! How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Skylar approached, her voice filled with concern.

Only then did I notice that she and Jerome had also come.

"Skylar, you and Jerome are here!" I exclaimed happily, throwing my arms around her.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking.You're too kind."

"Daniel told us everything.He's been so worried!" Skylar hugged me back.

"You're my good friend.Of course we'll be here for you in times of trouble!"



"She's right, Helen.We know you'd never do such an evil thing, and we'll do everything in our power to
find out the truth and prove your innocence,"

Jerome chimed in with a smile.

My friends' encouraging words enveloped me in a nice, warm feeling, boosting my confidence greatly.

"Luna Betty, with all due respect, this cell looks terrible.I think it will affect Helen's health."

My father suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, no, Elder Simon, you misunderstand my intentions.It's not that I want to hurt Helen.It's just that
she is a prime suspect.I have no choice but to lock her up."

Betty smiled awkwardly as she hastily explained the situation.

"As an elder of the Rainbow Pack, I swear on my honor that my daughter is not the murderer.Despite
her being a suspect, she will not run away."

My father stood out and made his declaration firmly.

"Yes, Luna Betty.As Alpha of the Rainbow Pack, I, too, can guarantee that Helen is not that kind of
girl.Can you release her from prison at least, temporarily?" Jerome asked.

"Well, since both an elder and an Alpha are willing to swear on Helen's innocence, I suppose I can
release her temporarily."

Betty nodded to her attendants.

I couldn't believe my ears! I felt so lucky that I didn't have to stay in the cold prison cell anymore.



"Let's get out of here, honey." Daniel slipped his hand in to mine and kissed me on the forehead
affectionately.

In a daze, I followed everyone out of my cell.

As we were passing by another cell, a shrill voice suddenly sounded.

"Helen! Why are you outside your cell? Luna Betty, how dare you cover up for this criminal? Helen, you
bitch! How come she gets to go out but I can't?"

Mandy shouted and cursed like a madwoman.

"What's the matter with her?"

My father glared at Betty, demanding an explanation.

"I'm sorry.I didn't expect her to be so rude," Betty said awkwardly, embarrassed by Mandy's sudden
outburst.

With a long face, she ordered a guard behind her to gag her.

"That's Mandy," Daniel whispered to my father.

At the mention of that name, my father's expression darkened.

It looked like he knew the story behind all of this.

"Don't be mad, Dad.She's all talk.She can't do anything to me from inside her cell."

I hurried to comfort my father, whose face was turning purple from rage.

Skylar's POV:



I instinctively grabbed Jerome's hand when that crazy woman started cursing at Helen.

Hearing all the vile things she had to say about Helen, I couldn't help but feel angry for my friend.

How unfortunate for her to have crossed paths with such a bitch! I took deep breaths, lowering my
head to conceal the anger on my face.

But the woman's shrill voice was echoed in my ears incessantly; I could feel my wrist burning, almost
aching to teach that bitch a lesson.

Fortunately, I managed to sober myself up in time.

If I used my special powers in front of so many people, I would be doomed.

Not only would Jerome be implicated by me, but also Anthony and Jennifer.

After the guard tied that crazy woman's mouth, I finally felt much calmer.

I patted Helen on the back to comfort her, and we all hurried out of that depressing prison.

"Let's have dinner,"

Betty suggested, smiling politely at us.

So we all filed into the dining room to eat.

"Helen, have some apple pie."

At the dinner table, Daniel picked up a plate of apple pie and placed it in front of Helen.

"I know how much you like apple pie."

"Thank you, Daniel."



Helen grinned happily.

Seeing the interaction between Daniel and Helen made me exchange knowing smiles with Jerome.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief now that I knew that Helen didn't blame Daniel for her
suffering.

"Helen, did you get thinner? Eat some more."

Simon frowned, but we knew he was just being considerate of his daughter.

I smiled and decided to dote on Helen, too.

"Helen, did you ever go hungry in prison?" I asked with concern.

"No, I was well taken care of," Helen replied, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Skylar, Jerome, thank you for everything.I'm really happy that you trust me."

Everyone ate, drank, and chatted merrily over dinner.

Suddenly, an attendant hurried in with a stack of documents and handed them to Betty.I was keenly
aware of the change in Betty's expression when her eyes landed on the documents in her hands.

"Luna Betty, these are the results of the autopsy. Please have a look," the attendant reported to Betty.

"Oh, my God!"

Betty quickly leafed through the report, studying it vigorously.

Gradually, all the color drained from her face.



"Is that Dad's autopsy report, Mom?" Daniel asked sadly when he saw Betty's reaction.

At the same time, all of us quieted down and looked at Betty with concern.

Marlon had died a miserable death.

Even though I never met him personally, I still felt sorry for Betty.

If something like this had happened to Jerome...

I probably wouldn't be as calm as she was now.

"Yes.The report shows that your father died of myocardial infarction due to inhalation of too much
ephedrine hydrochloride!" Betty answered in a low voice.

"Oh my God! Alpha Marlon was really killed by that bottle of perfume.The report on the perfume
showed that a lot of ephedrine hydrochloride was added to that bottle!" Helen burst into tears.

"But you have to believe me, Luna Betty! Mandy was the one who gave me that bottle of perfume!"

"Everyone, please rest assured that I will investigate the matter thoroughly."

Betty took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling but firm voice.

"They have just laid Alpha Marlon's body inside the coffin.Will you go there now?" the attendant asked
Betty.

"Okay, I'll head there right now."

Betty stood up from the table and smiled at us apologetically.

"I'm sorry.I have to, make preparations for my late husband's funeral."



"Let's go to the church together.I also want to see Alpha Marlon for the last time," Helen suggested
tearfully.

Everyone nodded in agreement and we all went to the church together.
