Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1282:

Father and son?

The equipment, a crowning achievement of the McCoy family, was supposed to be flawless. They had staked everything on its accuracy. With a mix of defiance and despair, Nikolas nearly hurled the damning paper into the trash.

Kohen intercepted him, his voice charged with excitement. “This is the perfect moment to showcase our new technology to the press! Show them the results now!”

Damon eagerly backed him up. “Exactly! Let Daniela have a taste of her own medicine!”

Duran added fuel to the fire. “Absolutely! It’s time to put Daniela and Cedric in their place and send them packing from Oiscoll!”

Clutching the paper, Nikolas masked his anxiety with a taut smile. “Here’s the situation. It’s time we put past conflicts behind us. The results are known amongst us, and there’s no need for a public spectacle. Even if Cedric is not a McCoy, he remains a player in the business arena. Let’s not sever ties completely. We might find common ground in future endeavors. That’s all for now. I appreciate the reporters, our friends, and family for your support. Let’s remember this is a family event and enjoy the remainder of our time together.”

Nikolas was desperate to cover up the whole thing.

Before Daniela could intervene, Kohen cut in, incredulous. “Hold on! Weren’t you the one pushing for the DNA test? And now you want to just let it go? What’s really happening here?”

Charles caught the undercurrents of tension and glanced instinctively at Daniela, who remained composed.

Damon drew Charles to one side, his voice a whisper but firm. “Nikolas, why the hesitation? This is the perfect moment to topple Daniela. Reveal the results to everyone!”

Attempting to seize the paper himself, Damon lunged forward. Nikolas sidestepped, evading Damon’s grasp. However, he wasn’t quick enough to escape Duran.

With a decisive motion, Duran snatched the paper and ascended a nearby chair. He grabbed the microphone, his voice resonating powerfully as he declared, “The findings of this test confirm with a probability of 99.999% that the individuals in question are father and son.”

The revelation thundered across the room, Duran’s voice booming off the walls.noveldrama

Shock painted Duran’s face as he re-examined the results. His head bowed, eyes scanning the words again—no error could be found.

The conclusion was unequivocal—they were father and son.

A heavy silence enveloped the room.

Then, all of a sudden, peals of laughter filled the room.

Daniela cast a cold glance at the group, arching an eyebrow. “Who was it again who boasted they’d humiliate me by slinging those results in my face? What did the results reveal, exactly? Would you mind reciting them once more for everyone? This is the equipment that’s supposed to set a new standard in the industry? It can’t even differentiate between humans and animals. Are you really sure it’s ready to be launched? Or…”

Daniela paused, a sly smile creeping across her face. “Or are we to believe that the lapdog over there might actually be a McCoy? Perhaps it’s just a case of unusual genetics!”
