The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 71

Analise frowned. This person had to be someone else in disguise.

If he were truly Scott's brother, given how much their mother loved him, he would never use her to provoke Scott. Wouldn't he miss her too?

Scott's expression turned cold. "Sean! That's enough!"

His sudden outburst startled Analise and the other therians around them.

Only the man across from them remained unfazed, his smirk widening in amusement.

"Enough? Oh, we're just getting started," Sean said, narrowing his eyes. "I even brought you a gift this year."

With a simple gesture, a man and a woman stepped forward, standing side by side with him.

When Scott saw the woman, his pupils contracted sharply.

"She... She... she!" Finlay was so stunned that he could only point at her, stammering incoherently.

"She's...?"

A sense of unease crept over Analise. She desperately hoped it wasn't who she feared.

"Mom."

Scott's voice was barely a whisper.

"She's Scott's mother!"

Finlay, on the other hand, blurted it out in shock.

"Sean! What the hell are you trying to do?" Scott's eyes burned with fury.

"Mom is dead! So, why would you create a fake woman who looks exactly like her? Is it guilt? Do you feel guilty for causing her death? Or are you happy that even in death, she still protected you?

"And now what? Are you using this... thing to threaten me? Do you actually expect me to treat a half-robot like my mother?"

Scott was so enraged that the veins on his neck and arms stood out.

"Scott, calm down," Analise said, reaching out to grab his arm.
