Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 940

The orphanage fire?

Coralie stopped in her tracks, her face turning pale as the fingers hanging by her side abruptly tightened.

The raging fire—

The screams—

The ashes—

No one had survived except her.

This was the past she never wanted to remember again.

"I know of it."

Coralie turned back, the sorrow and pain on her face completely gone, leaving only calm and composure. "The fire five years ago burned many people to death. The news shocked the nation."

Before Juniper could ask again, Coralie continued, "But I only heard about it. After all, I'm not from that orphanage."

"By the way, why is Mrs. Schwartz suddenly asking about this?"

"Just asking." Juniper stared at Coralie intently and shook her head slightly.

"I see."

Coralie gave a faint smile, didn't say anything more, and continued walking out with her bag.

Back in the car.

After closing the door, she slumped into her seat, clutching her violently aching chest, gasping for air.

That's right.

She was the only one who had escaped the fire that year.

The incident was too sensational.

Countless reporters had wanted to find the survivor to dig out the truth behind the fire.

To prevent her future life from being affected, the director had taken a series of measures to secretly transfer her to another orphanage.

Allowing her to start a new life with a new identity.

So for all these years.

People only knew she came from an orphanage, but they didn't know which one.

Why did Mrs. Schwartz bring up the past?

—

On the way back.

Coralie suddenly received a call from Mrs. Evans; the director was critically ill.
