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

Chapter 1284:

Daniela pressed on. “Weren’t you the one demanding I apologize just a minute ago? But now that it’s your mistake on display, suddenly apologizing is beneath you? Is that how you operate—loud when accusing, silent when it’s time to own up?”noveldrama

Nikolas shut his eyes tight, rage simmering beneath the surface—if he could, he’d erase Daniela from existence.

But Daniela, holding the damning results like a trophy, turned to the Hamilton brothers with a sly smile. “Well? What’s your verdict? Are these results accurate or not?”

The Hamilton brothers traded uneasy glances, teeth sinking into lips that had just moments ago been spouting arrogance. Now, not a word. To call the results accurate would mean accepting the unthinkable—that dog was their brother. If they denied the results, it meant confessing their groundbreaking invention was nothing more than a spectacular failure.

No matter which path they chose, both led straight into a trap with no way out.

While they fumbled for an answer, laughter suddenly cracked through the tension.

Hamilton returned, a wide grin lighting up his face as he joined Daniela. Turning to the reporters, he spoke with a playful smile. “Happy April Fool’s Day! Just a little joke to warm things up and keep the mood light. But jokes aside, allow me to officially introduce my eldest son—Cedric! We’ve already conducted a DNA test, and here’s the proof.”

With that, Hamilton handed over the report, and the reporters swarmed in like moths to a flame.

The reporters blinked in disbelief. “Cedric’s actually part of the McCoy bloodline?”

“Wait, he’s the eldest son?”

“Does that mean Cedric could end up inheriting the entire McCoy fortune?”

“Now it makes sense why Nikolas blew a fuse earlier. Cedric’s arrival is clearly shaking up his seat at the top.”

Nikolas caught wind of the whispers and nearly exploded on the spot, fury flashing in his eyes.

But Hamilton stepped in smoothly. “Let’s not forget—today’s a family event. A day to unwind and enjoy. We’ll have a proper celebration soon to welcome Cedric back.”

Hamilton’s voice softened as he added, “It’s his first time stepping through our doors. Let’s not drown him in attention just yet.” His calm tone hit the perfect chord, and the crowd slowly broke apart, nodding and smiling in quiet understanding.

Regret twisted through Nikolas’ chest. “Dad! How could you confirm Cedric’s identity so publicly?”

Kohen echoed the frustration. “Exactly! One test isn’t enough to declare Cedric your son. We need something more accurate—something definitive!”

The whirlwind of events left Charles reeling, his mind struggling to keep up. If Cedric was officially embraced as a true McCoy, then the coveted title of heir would teeter on the edge of a complete upheaval. Would Daniela throw her full support behind Cedric now?

Panic crept across Charles’ face as he cast a nervous glance toward Daniela.
