Chapter 971 The Manipulative Ploy
Very well.
Sebastian elegantly dabbed away the perspiration with a tissue, discarding it into the trash can before casually regarding the middle–aged man before him. “Keep in mind your responsibilities.”
“Of course, of course!” the middle–aged man replied with a reassuring smile.
With a smile, the middle–aged man pledged, “Mr. Weiss, rest assured, you can rely on me.”
“My son’s destiny lies within your decisions, so I’ll document precisely as you dictate on the DNA report,” he affirmed.
Sebastian smirked in response. “Then proceed as I’ve directed.”
“In the section designated for the father, inscribe my name,” he directed with clarity.
“And for the mother’s identification…”
He paused for effect. “Simply record the name of Damien’s wife, Cherise.”
Though Sebastian’s commands appeared straightforward, they landed like a bombshell upon the middle–aged man, igniting waves of apprehension. “This… this seems rather precarious, doesn’t it?”
How many in Adania were unaware of the profound love and unwavering support Damien, the esteemed CEO, harbored for his current wife?
Even after her affair with Sebastian was exposed, Damien stood steadfastly by her side.
Sebastian’s gunshot wound, a repercussion of Damien’s retaliation, served as a testament to the lengths he would go to protect his family.
The Weiss family’s influence and status loomed large, casting a formidable shadow, yet for him…
If Damien were to uncover any manipulation of the DNA report… the consequences would be dire indeed.
The middle–aged man couldn’t fathom the repercussions he would face!
Sebastian’s inquiry cut through his thoughts like a knife. “What’s troubling you, Mr. Danny Parker? Feeling intimidated, perhaps?”
Sebastian nonchalantly stifled a yawn. “Have my offers of securing a permanent European green card for your son or the villa I bestowed upon him failed to entice you?”

Rest assured, Sebastian continued, fixing a menacing gaze on Danny, “You’re already teetering on the brink of ruin. Even if Damien secks retribution, what power does he truly wield over you?”
“He’s made no secret of his hostility, but his anger won’t extend to your son,” Sebastian assured with a chilling certainty.
“Even if Damien were to remove you from the equation, your son would still lead a life of comfort and luxury abroad.”
“But if you dare to defy me…”
Sebastian’s eyes narrowed, the threat implicit in his tone. “If you choose to disobey me, your son’s fate may not be so certain.”
“Therefore, Mr. Parker, you must now decide: save yourself or witness the inevitable demise of your son?”
Though not overtly forceful, Sebastian’s words cut through Danny like a knife, each syllable striking a nerve.
Danny struggled visibly, wiping sweat from his brow as he grappled with the weight of his decision. Finally, he met Sebastian’s gaze head–on. “Can you guarantee… that my son will be treated well?”
“I will honor our agreement,” Sebastian affirmed with a nonchalant shrug.
“I am not one to deceive.”
“Consider this,” Sebastian continued, his tone dripping with a twisted kind of honesty. “I’ve laid out the consequences of your choice, demonstrating my transparency.”
“So, have you made your decision, Mr. Parker?”
Danny clenched his jaw, drawing a deep breath. “I have. If I must choose between myself and my son, I choose my son.”
“Very well,” Sebastian nodded in satisfaction, a sly smile playing on his lips. “Hence, the DNA report must include my name and Cherise’s.”
“But…” Danny hesitated. “They only requested a test for paternity with you, not Cherise…”
“That’s easily remedied,” Sebastian interrupted, stifling another yawn. “The hair samples provided to you surely contain more than one strand, correct?”
“Yes…” Danny confirmed.
“Cherise has been in close proximity to the child recently, so their hair strands should be
