Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 160: The Truth 

Jerome's POV:

When I heard from Jennifer that Linda and Nick went to the same hotel at the same time, I was naturally a little suspicious, so I went to the hotel with Jennifer and Anthony.

On the way there, I guessed that Linda and Nick might be more acquainted than I thought.

But the last thing I expected to see was them having sex.

It was downright ridiculous.

I had never imagined that she would do such a thing.

What was worse, their way of having sex was too obscene for me to swallow.It was fortunate that Anthony was waiting outside the room instead of coming in with us.

I didn't want him to see such a disgusting scene.Pressing my lips into a thin line, I asked Jennifer to go out.

"You'd better put on your clothes before you say anything,"

I told Linda coldly as I handed her the clothes on the floor to cover her bruised body.It was obvious that Linda had wild sex with Nick.

Standing there completely naked, she had marks all over her body from being whipped.

Even scarier was the fact that she was bleeding here and there.

When Jennifer and I walked into the room, Nick was holding a whip in his hand.

The two of them looked so vulgar at this moment that I didn't think it was appropriate for me to be present either, so after handing the clothes to Linda, I promptly left the room as well.

Jennifer, Anthony, and I waited outside for a while.

After making sure that Linda and Nick had gotten dressed, I walked back into the room, followed by Jennifer and Anthony.

Linda and Nick were kneeling on the floor, as if ready to beg for forgiveness.

As soon as she saw me, she burst into tears and crawled forward on her knees to grab my pants.

"Jerome, please trust me.Nick forced me into doing this.He said that if I didn't listen to him, he would kill me.I only did all this so that I could survive! Please give me another chance,"

Linda cried loudly, pointing an accusatory finger at Nick.

"Linda, after what I just witnessed, do you think that I will still trust you?" I asked in disgust, shaking off her hand.

"I won't believe a word of what you say anymore.So many years have passed since I last saw you, and it seems that you're no longer the woman I used to know.Now, every word that comes out of your mouth is a lie.Or maybe you haven't changed at all.I think this is the woman that you've always been.I made a mistake.I didn't see your true colors back then."

Ever since Linda reappeared in my life this time, I felt that her temperament and personality were completely different from before.

At first, I concluded that it must be because of all the difficulties that she had gone through in the past few years, which made me feel guilty and want to help her.

But now, I finally realized that it was not that Linda had changed, but that she had always been like this.

It was just that I had been blind to her true ways in the past.

Even after being shaken off by me, Linda still tried to crawl forward again to explain.

However, Jennifer stepped forward and blocked her away.

She narrowed her eyes and asked Nick, "What's going on? You'd better tell the truth.Otherwise, neither the prince nor I will spare your life."

Her tone was cold and aggressive, forcing Nick to tell the truth.

"It's all Linda's fault.That bitch seduced me, asking me to fabricate the result of the paternity test.I can show you the real report.Please let me go!" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nick was so scared that he shook all over.

"Then show us the real report," I demanded furiously.

We all followed Nick to the hospital, where he took out the real report of the paternity test and handed it to Jennifer.

After taking a look at it, she shook her head and gave it to me.

I carefully looked through the report, which clearly stated that Andy and I were not related by blood.

"I never imagined that you would be such a scheming woman.I was stupid to trust you before."

In a fit of anger, I threw the report onto Linda's face.She took it with tears streaming down her face.But if she thought that she could win my sympathy again with her tears, she was wrong.

"Jerome, I did all this for the sake of our future.I just wanted to be with you.Can you forgive me? I'll never lie to you again."

Seeing my indifferent silence, Linda crawled over again, held my ankle tightly, and begged for mercy.

But there was no point.

I had already made up my mind to get rid of her.

For this woman, lying seemed to be second nature.

I couldn't believe a word of what she said anymore.

"Linda, behave yourself.This is my last warning for you."

After saying that, I wanted to storm out of the room so that I didn't have to look at her face anymore.

But Anthony stopped me.

"This matter is not over yet.There's something else that Linda has hidden from us.We don't know who Andy's real father is," he pointed out.

Anthony was right.

We couldn't solve this matter without tying up all the loose ends.

Anthony's POV: Jerome was already disappointed with the truth that we had uncovered so far about Linda.

But just then, I received a message from one of my attendants, informing me that Alpha Bard of the Lavender Pack had arrived at the Rainbow House.

"Linda, my attendants have brought a werewolf from another pack.The strange thing is that he claims to know you.Would you like to go and see him?"

I asked, raising my eyebrow at Linda.Linda shook her head fervently.

"No, that's impossible.I don't know anyone from other packs."

"You'll know whether you know him or not once you see him."

I blinked at my attendants nearby, signaling to them to capture Linda and take her away.

Jennifer looked at me, and the two of us exchanged a glance.

We went back to the Rainbow House together with Jerome.

Once everyone was gathered together, I asked Bard to enter the room.

We still needed to investigate what had happened in the past.

By now, we knew that Linda was a liar, so we couldn't trust her account of things.

The moment Bard appeared, Linda shook from head to toe, and fear was written all over her face.

Bard's eyes lit up in recognition, and he rushed towards Linda.

"Linda, you bitch! Where have you taken my son?"

Bard went straight up to Linda and gave her a hard kick, which was strong enough to knock her to the floor.

"Bard, are you talking about Andy? What's the relationship between you and Linda?" Jerome asked, stepping forward.

"Andy is my son.He's the child I have with this bitch.She used to be my mistress, but I got bored of her."

After saying that, Bard looked at Linda again.

"Where is Andy?"

If Bard's words were true, then he and Linda must have known each other for a long time.

Otherwise, she couldn't have given birth to a baby for Bard.

Considering that Andy had been born just shortly after Linda disappeared from Jerome's life, it seemed that she had been sleeping with Bard while she was still Jerome's girlfriend.

Jerome had been cuckolded.

Jennifer and I looked at Jerome worriedly.

His fists were clenched in fury.

"Linda, aren't you going to tell me the truth even now?" Jerome asked with a self-mocking smile.

"Yes, you're right! I met Bard a long time ago! I got pregnant with his child while I was still Jerome's girlfriend.I left Jerome and followed Bard to his pack out of greed, but I didn't expect that I would be abandoned in the end.When I found out that Jerome was the future Alpha of the Rainbow Pack, I came to see him with Andy to blackmail him.Are you satisfied with my answer?"

Linda roared hysterically in a nearly hoarse voice.

She covered her face with her hands and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Did we have sex after I got drunk that night?" Jerome asked in a low voice.

"Of course not.I just made that up to get rid of Skylar! Nothing happened between us.You don't need to worry about it at all.You can be with your dear Skylar again!"

Linda let out a humorless laugh through her tears, which sent a chill down my spine.

Jennifer and I were both taken aback by her confession.

The more we uncovered the truth behind Linda's lies, the less I wanted to hear.

Her schemes were too vulgar, but Jerome was the one who had the right to decide what to do with her.

"Jerome, what are you going to do?" I asked.

"I don't want to see this liar ever again.Mr.Jones, you can punish her however you want to," Jerome said, turning to me.

He didn't spare Linda even a single glance after that, as if he was too disgusted with her.

"I'll order her to be exiled from the Rainbow Pack.She'll never be able to come back here again.What do you think?"

Jerome nodded in agreement, but at this time, Linda crawled over to me and pleaded for mercy.

Soon, Andy walked into the room and held his mother's hand.

The two of them knelt in front of me, and the little boy cried pitifully.

"Mr.Jones, please forgive us for the sake of our miserable situation.If you kick us out of the Rainbow Pack now, we will have nowhere to stay."

"So now you realize that.But did you ever think about what Skylar's situation would be when you played those evil tricks to drive her away? She might have nowhere to stay either, right? You've done too many evil things.If we can't find Skylar, I will get even with you," Jennifer growled.

"Take them away,’ I told my attendants.

At my order, Linda was finally taken away.

She would live a miserable, roving life with Andy from now on, but that was the punishment she deserved.Not everyone in the world deserved forgiveness.

Linda had gone too far and didn't have a conscience at all.Karma would punish her.

"Bard, you can leave now.Thank you for testifying today," I said to Bard.

Although he had kept a mistress and even abandoned her, which was a vile thing to do in my eyes, he hadn't done anything to harm others.

I couldn't convict him.

After Bard left, silence enveloped the hall again.

"Jerome, I know that this must be a big blow to you, but it's not your fault.Linda is such a good actress.You're the victim here.Don't beat yourself up about it.What are you going to do next?"

"I want to look for Skylar by myself.Jennifer, can you help me manage the pack in my absence?" Jerome asked Jennifer.

Jennifer hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The matter of Linda had come to an end, but the burden on everyone's shoulders was even heavier.

In particular, it would be a big challenge for Jennifer to take over the pack's affairs.

However, I believed in her ability.She would handle everything well.

I was looking forward to seeing her achievements.
