?Chapter 1278:


    Kohen added his voice to the fray. “Or could it be that you’re an impostor?”


    Damon interjected, “Clearly, he’s not genuine. Otherwise, why would he fear a simple test?”


    Kohen burst into a derisiveugh. “Surprised today, weren’t you? You came unprepared, and now you’re scared, right? No one needs to prepare for a DNA test—it only requires a strand of hair. If you can’t even provide that, you’re surely an impostor.”


    Hamilton moved away, positioning himself at the periphery of the gathering, observing the unfolding drama with a calm detachment.


    Leaning close, his secretary whispered, “Mr. McCoy, you’ve already had the DNA test done secretly, right? Why stage this public disy today? Aren’t you concerned that something might go wrong during the test, even if Cedric agrees?”


    The secretary was well aware that the DNA results could be manipted to suit their needs, regardless of Cedric’s actual lineage.


    Amidst the crowd, Hamilton, wine ss in hand, responded in a rxed tone, “Craftiness is essential to be part of the McCoy lineage. I am on the lookout for an heir. If he can’t handle a challenge like this, he’s not worthy of being the heir.”


    A hint of cold determination shed across his face as he spoke. Others around him were eager to see Cedricmit to the DNA test, stirring the crowd into a frenzy. They shouted that if Cedric was really a McCoy, he wouldn’t be afraid.


    Positioning herself as a shield, Carol stood in front of Dani and Cedric, protective and alert.


    Dani appearedposed amidst the chaos. She turned to Cedric and asked calmly, “Is joining the McCoy family something you aspire to?”


    The stakes were incredibly high, involving assets in the billions and the session of the McCoy dynasty. Dani feltpelled to pose the question.


    Just as Cedric was forming his reply, Dani added, “Setting aside my interests, do you actually desire a ce in the McCoy family?”

    Cedric maintained his cool demeanor. Meeting Dani’s gaze, he offered a smile. “Are you implying that you have control over the DNA test results?” he asked with an air of nonchnce.


    Much to his astonishment, his wife gave a nod. “Yes, if I choose to intervene, I can manipte the oue.”


    Cedric paused, taken aback by her admission. He was well aware of Dani’s sharpness in business matters. Now, they were under the watchful eyes of everyone gathered, and the McCoy family would undoubtedly use their own people and equipment for the test. It was clear they intended to mislead the test results. Yet, Dani said she could manipte the oue. “Really?” Cedric asked in disbelief.


    With another nod, Dani responded, “Indeed, I could even dere everyone here as part of the McCoy lineage if I wished.” Cedric’s astonishment was evident.


    With a knowing smile, Dani reassured him, “Don’t believe me? Watch this.”


    As the crowd grew louder and the atmosphere tensed, Dani raised her voice and said boldly, “Let’s do the test.”


    Dani’s final remark brought an abrupt silence to the previously noisy crowd.


    All eyes turned to Dani, their faces etched with astonishment.
