The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 88

"Ms. Chamber, with you around, it's only natural that I want to compete fairly with you. But honestly, it's clear Scott likes you," Vera said softly, with her eyes lowered. "He didn't even give me a chance to compete."

From the front seat, Finlay spoke up bluntly, "Didn't Scott say a long time ago that he didn't want to be your guardian?"

"Yeah… That's when I started to suspect he probably didn't like me. Rescuing me back then was probably just out of convenience. But back then, you weren't in the picture, Ms. Chamber.

"I thought I still stood a chance, which is why I kept finding excuses to see him from time to time. When Ms. Chamber appeared, I heard that Scott wanted to be your guardian. I was so jealous I almost went crazy, and I was overwhelmed by sadness…"

Vera kept going, almost as if she were talking to herself.

"Back then, Vera locked herself in the room and refused to eat or drink for a few days," the driver in the front suddenly said.

There was a note of affection and concern in his voice. He was probably Vera's guardian or one of her mates.

"Why are you telling Ms. Chamber that?" Vera scooted forward and playfully tugged on the driver's ear, feigning irritation.

"I'm just telling the truth… We were all worried sick those days," the therian replied, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Sheesh, why bring up all that? I'm here to be friends with Ms. Chamber now." Vera waved it off with a smile.

"Ever since I saw that video of Ms. Chamber calming multiple males at once on Cosmoseek the other day, I knew I couldn't compare. So, I gave up on Scott. I already have several mates anyway. I'm not going to get hung up over one guy."

Vera was all smiles. It was as if she had truly let it all go.

"But Ms. Chamber, what's the deal with that robot female? Why did she seem to have self-awareness?

"My brother said that even the one in the Ethereal Fang Alliance didn't show anything like that. It just ran off like the others—probably following some command."

Vera leaned her hands on the back of the driver's seat, mindlessly pulling strands of hair from the therian driver.

"I'm not sure either," Analise replied, shaking her head. "We'll have to wait and see what the security force says."

Thinking about it made Analise a little uneasy.

That female who looked so much like Scott's mother—had she been infected with Vexoth venom?
