Willow found it utterly impossible to refuse. She nodded emphatically, her eyes shining.
Silas let out a booming laugh. "Then I need to start planning an adoption banquet! I've gone my whole life without a daughter, and now I've got the best one. I have to make it a spectacular affair."
Willow beamed, her eyes curling into happy crescents. Then, a thought struck her. "I'm heading to The Sovereign Isles for The Celestial Composition Project soon. I'll be gone for about a month. Is that... going to delay things too much?"
Silas chuckled heartily. "Not at all! That's perfect timing. My old friends are notoriously hard to pin down. A month gives me exactly enough time to force them to clear their schedules and fly out for the banquet."
Willow breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily.
Silas waved his hand dismissively. "Go handle your business. I have to go brag to my stubborn old friends about the brilliant daughter I just acquired. Let them choke on their jealousy!"
Willow's eyes prickled with tears. She stood up and bowed to him with profound respect before whispering, "Thank you."
Silas clicked his tongue in mock displeasure. "Why are you being so polite? You're my daughter now. I plan on completely spoiling you. No matter what you do, I will back you unconditionally."
Willow let out a wet laugh, tears of joy sliding down her cheeks as she smiled.
She knew the horrifying extent of Silas's global connections. Having him stand behind her felt surreal and incredibly lucky.
Silas smiled helplessly, walking over to hand her The Yale Heritage Bangle. The material wasn't flashy, and it bore the faint marks of age, but it had clearly been fiercely protected—there wasn't a single crack on it.
Silas spoke softly, "My grandmother left this to me. It's The Heirloom of the Yale family. It might not look like a million bucks..."
He paused for a second before his smile turned sharp. "But conveniently, a lot of very powerful people recognize it. If you ever run into a problem you can't solve, or if you need serious backing, just take this bangle and show it to them."
Willow's breath hitched. Silas had lived his entire life as an absolute legend.
His inner circle wasn't just limited to elite surgeons; it consisted of the most untouchable pioneers in global medical research! This wasn't just a piece of jewelry—this was the ultimate VIP pass to the world's most exclusive elite network!
