Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 279: How Do We Deal With Larry

Amelia's POV:

My greatest fear had been realized.

Larry showed up.He must've wanted to take me back.I should've known! He probably started searching
for me like a madman the second he found out I was no longer imprisoned in his log cabin.

Larry was a possessive man, after all.

He would rather destroy what he couldn't have than let others have it.

I broke into a cold sweat.

Oh, my God! What should I do? Larry's power was unmatched.

He must've found out that I was rescued by Anthony, which was why he came all the way here, to the
royal palace.

And now, he knew where I was.

Maybe he was even watching me in secret! I glanced at Elizabeth guiltily.

Larry had hurt her to as a warning to us all that he would stop at nothing to get to me.

He was bound to show up again.

Maybe he would try to get even with me, torturing me and abusing me all over again.

I almost fainted at the thought.How terrible those days were!

"I'm sorry, everyone.This is all my fault.I'm the reason why Larry's acting up again, and he even hurt
Mrs.Jones."



I burst into tears.

"But I don't want to go back to him, especially not after having found Morgan.I can't stand the thought
of being imprisoned by Larry again!"

"Don't apologize, Amelia.You and Morgan both saved my Anthony.We won't just sit by and watch!"

Elizabeth held my hand lovingly.

"That's right, Amelia! Without you, we never would've even known how to break the Love Curse! Don't
worry.We will protect you at all costs!"

Jennifer echoed passionately.

"We help those who have helped us.You saved me, it's only right that I do my best to protect
you.Amelia, I will have more guards patrol the royal palace from now on.In addition, I will send a few of
my attendants to protect you, so that it will be difficult for Larry to get close," Anthony promised.

Hearing them support me one by one, my tears of fear turned into tears of joy.

"Oh, my God! Thank you, thank you!"

Morgan took my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I'm with you, too, honey.I'll never let anyone hurt you—never!"

I threw my arms around him and cried.

They were all right.I was not alone.I needed to be strong.

My lonely days were a thing of a past; now, I had friends, and a husband who loved me deeply.



"Larry is acting more aggressively.But fortunately, we are in the light, whilst he's in the dark.It might be
difficult for us to deal with him, but if we work together, we will defeat him eventually," Roy suggested.

"I agree.After all, he's the grand wizard Larry.We need to carefully consider how to deal with him,"
Jennifer said, nodding in agreement.

Anthony added, "We have to monitor his movements.Otherwise, the extra patrolmen will still be
useless.But how? Larry has always worked mysteriously."

Jennifer frowned, deep in thought.

"What if we check all the recent surveillance footage? We might be able to find some clues."

"Good idea.I won't stay put, either.I'll contact my wizard friends and ask them for help,"

Roy chimed in.

"See, honey? Everyone's fired up to protect you!"

Morgan hugged me and burst into laughter.

"Great! When Larry comes, he'll see that teamwork trumps all else.I'll contact my old friends, too, and
see if they can help."

Seeing everyone working so hard, I also made up my mind to not lose hope.

I used to be a powerful witch too.I couldn't just give in to Larry.

Jennifer's POV:

Seeing everyone band together to fight against Larry was _ inspiring.



Together, we discussed potential countermeasures and made plans to deal with that damned wizard.

We decided that Anthony would be responsible for fortifying the royal palace whereas the wizards
would be responsible for contacting their friends.

When Larry showed up, we would all work together to defeat him.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone.It's settled then.Let's all get some rest now," I suggested.

"It's getting late now.If we want to deal with Larry, we'll need the energy, am I right? Especially you,
Amelia.You're not in good shape.Don't exhaust yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Jennifer, but I'm fine.Mrs.Jones needs me more."

Amelia shook her head and smiled feebly.

Seeing this, Roy cleared his throat and said, "Mrs.Jones' condition is basically stable.I can stay by her
side to observe her.Amelia, you and Morgan can go rest."

"No way.I don't want to trouble you, Roy," Amelia protested.

"Relax, honey.Roy's an outstanding wizard.I'm sure he can watch Mrs.Jones while we get some
rest.You need to focus on recovering, not to mention the scare you experienced today."

Morgan looked at Amelia with concern.

Finally, Amelia conceded.

"Okay then.Thank you, Roy."

After saying that, Amelia nodded to Anthony and me and then excused herself with her husband,
Morgan.



Anthony turned to the several attendants behind him and ordered, "Follow them.You will be responsible
for their safety now."

The attendants bowed and left, as they were told.I smiled at Anthony and mouthed, "Thank you."

"Anthony, Jennifer, you two should get some rest as well."

Elizabeth waved at me dismissively.

"Don't forget that you're pregnant, Jennifer.You're not as strong as before.Anthony, take Jennifer to
your room and make sure she rests."

"But—"

I was still worried about Elizabeth's health, so I was a little hesitant.

"No buts.Roy will stay with me.Don't you trust him?"

Elizabeth interrupted me with a hearty laugh.

"She's in good hands, Jennifer,"

Roy promised, patting his chest solemnly.

Seeing this, I knew I couldn't persuade them otherwise.

After wishing Elizabeth a speedy recovery, Anthony and I retired to our room.

Closing the door behind me, I sighed deeply.

"Anthony, things keep going wrong these days.The truth is, I've been worried that Larry would stir up
trouble at your coronation ceremony, but I didn't mention it just now, because I didn't want your mother



to worry."

"Don't worry, honey.I've also suspected the same.I will strengthen our defenses in secret.The ceremony
will carry on smoothly, I believe."

Anthony slipped his arms around my waist and comforted me.

I nodded, believing in my mate's capabilities.

Just then, my phone suddenly rang.

Reading the caller ID, my eyes widened and I immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Jerome!" I greeted excitedly.

"Hi, Jennifer! Guess what? We found a place to live on Rube Island.The place is nice, and Skylar
seems to enjoy it here."

I could sense a hint of relief in my brother's voice.

"That's wonderful!"

As we were on the phone, I received a message from Skylar.

It was a photo of her and my brother, smiling and standing in front of a villa.

It seemed that this was their new home.

It looked really promising.

Most importantly, I was really happy to see the smile on Skylar's face.

"How about you, Jennifer? What have we missed?" my brother asked casually.



"Nothing much! Everything here's fine."

I decided against telling him about Larry's sneak attack on Elizabeth.I didn't want to worry him, after all.

Right now, my brother needed to focus on taking good care of Skylar.

After exchanging a few more words, we ended the call.

"Anthony, Jerome and Skylar are settling down on Rube Island!" I said happily.

"That's great! So, can you relax now?" Anthony smiled, leaning over to kiss me on the forehead.

"Now, it's time for bed, my sweetheart."

I kissed him back—this time, on the lips.I felt relieved.

Helen and Daniel's problem was resolved, and now, Jerome and Skylar were finally settling down.

Now, we needed to focus on preparations for the coronation ceremony.

I was going to be Anthony's queen! I hoped everything would go well and Larry wouldn't cause any
trouble at the ceremony.
