Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 120 The Perfect Opportunity

Upon hearing this, Silas was momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure, his expression growing even more somber. "Young lady, who gave you the audacity to brag so shamelessly?" The K virus was a global conundrum. Numerous experts had been left stumped by it. How can Calista possibly do anything about it? She's only eighteen!

Calista brushed away the non-existent dust from the hem of her skirt and chuckled lightly. "People infected with the K Virus would immediately develop a fever lasting three days. If they didn't die within that time, they would gradually experience brain atrophy, leading to paralysis of their limbs. Some individuals would even suffer from skin decay. The complications varied greatly depending on the individual's constitution, but they all shared one grim characteristic-none of them survived beyond a month." Silas remained silent upon realizing that Calista was well-versed in the K Virus.

Calista spoke again. "Whether I'm of any use depends on if I can prolong Kallum's life. If I can't, it won't be too late for you to kill me. But if I can, I might be the only person in the world who can fully cure him. So why not let me try?"

Upon reflection, Silas realized that things couldn't possibly get any worse than they already were. They had nothing more to lose.

Moreover, Shaun had mentioned that Kallum had less than a week to live. All he needed was to keep Calista around for a week, and he would naturally find out whether she was lying or not.

"If you agree, I'm willing to stay until I gain your trust," Calista suggested at the right moment.

Her calmness kindled a sudden hope in Silas. After all, if she's not sure, she wouldn't have gambled with her life.

"What do you want then?" asked Silas.

him. This girl is so ambitious! She's after the Fairchild family's assets! She might have a method to prolong Kallum's life, but that's likely just a gimmick. Her real aim is to become the Fairchild family's goddaughter! Once Kallum is gone, her status will soar

Sensing Silas' thoughts, Calista spoke before he could. "We can establish an agreement. You would publicly acknowledge me as your goddaughter, but I wouldn't have any inheritance rights to the Fairchild family wealth. I've offended some powerful people and need the Fairchild family's protection, that's all. If Kallum were to die, our contract would be null and void, and I'd be at the Fairchild family's mercy. But as long as Kallum lives, the Fairchild family would protect me. This arrangement wouldn't harm your family. After all, I wouldn't gamble with my
