Marrying the Man in the Dark
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. âKeep in mind your responsibilities.â âOf course, of course!â the middle-aged man replied with a reassuring smile.
With a smile, the middle-aged man pledged, âMr. Weiss, rest assured, you can rely on me.â âMy son's destiny lies within your decisions, so I'll document precisely as you dictate on the DNA report,â he affirmed.
Sebastian smirked in response. âThen proceed as I've directed.â âIn the section designated for the father, inscribe my name,â he directed with clarity.
âAnd for the motherâs identification...â He paused for effect. âSimply record the nof Damienâs wife, Cherise.â Though Sebastian's commands appeared straightforward, they landed like a bombshell upon the middle-aged man, igniting waves of apprehension. âThis... this seems rather precarious, doesnât it?â 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 familyâs 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. âWhat's troubling you, Mr. Danny Parker? Feeling intimidated, perhaps?â Sebastian nonchalantly stifled a yawn. âHave my offers of securing a permanent European green card for your son or the villa I bestowed upon him failed to entice you?â Chapter 971 The Manipulative Ploy Rest assured, Sebastian continued, fixing a menacing gaze on Danny, âYou're already teetering on the brink of ruin. Even if Damien secks retribution, what power does he truly wield over you?â âHeâs made no secret of his hostility, but his anger won't extend to your son,â Sebastian assured with a chilling certainty.
âEven if Damien were to remove you from the equation, your son would still lead a life of comfort and luxury abroad.â âBut if you dare to defy me...â Sebastian's eyes narrowed, the threat implicit in his tone. âIf you choose to disobey me, your son's fate may not be so certain.â âTherefore, Mr. Parker, you must now decide: save yourself or witness the inevitable demise of your son?â Though not overtly forceful, Sebastianâs 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. âCan you guarantee... that my son will be treated well?â âI will honor our agreement,â Sebastian affirmed with a nonchalant shrug.
âlI am not one to deceive.â âConsider this,â Sebastian continued, his tone dripping with a twisted kind of honesty. âI've laid out the consequences of your choice, demonstrating my transparency.â âSo, have you made your decision, Mr. Parker?â Danny clenched his jaw, drawing a deep breath. âI have. If I must choose between myself and my son, I choose my son.â âVery well,â Sebastian nodded in satisfaction, a sly smile playing on his lips. âHence, the DNA report must include my nand Cheriseâs.â âBut...â Danny hesitated. âThey only requested a test for paternity with you, not Cherise...â âThat's easily remedied,â Sebastian interrupted, stifling another yawn. âThe hair samples provided to you surely contain more than one strand, correct?â âYes...â Danny confirmed.
âCherise has been in close proximity to the child recently, so their hair strands should be arrying the Man In the Dark
