The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 105

"You didn't know? No, it's not that you didn't know. You simply thought you were immune to repercussions because you're from the Khielson family. Wouldn't you say?" Scott sneered.

"T-That's not true at all!" Hector raised his head and glanced at Analise. "I was just trying to teach her a lesson. How was I supposed to know that it could lead to such a serious outcome?"

"Relax, Scott. You're scaring him." Analise rose to her feet and pulled him back a little. "From what I can see, he didn't cook up the whole scheme.

"Moreover, he's already injured. If a fight breaks out and something worse happens, the Khielson family will get their panties in a bunch again."

Analise gave Scott's palm a gentle squeeze, hinting to him that he could drop the act for now.

Turning around, he returned to his work desk and pointed at Liam.

"Seeing as you preserved the evidence and didn't do anything too terrible, I will just sentence you to 20 lashes and spare you from the dungeon cells.

"Finlay, take him away." Scott waved.

"At once." After Finlay led Liam away, Scott got up, closed his office door, and locked it.

"W-Why did you lock the door?" Hector was scared and a little shocked.

"I don't think someone with your mental capacity could've cooked up an intricate scheme like that. Did someone show you how to do it?" Analise walked around Hector twice.

"N-Nobody taught me anything!" Hector shook his head at once, but he instinctively avoided her gaze.

"Really?" Analise chuckled. "Why did I get word that you are quite close to your third dad?"

The therians in the Interstellar therian world would only refer to their biological fathers as "Dad". The rest of their mothers' mates had to be addressed according to their rank.

Jamari was Lily's third mate. So, Hector called him his third dad.

"He's one of my fathers, and I'm his family. It's normal that we're close." Hector's gaze followed Analise as she walked.
