In the following days.
Juniper waited for the orphanage director to wake up while simultaneously investigating the whereabouts of the other orphanage survivors.
Perhaps the director didn''t want the lives of the "survivors" to be disturbed.
So he had destroyed all useful records.
Completely.
Even Binary Oracle and Cybeic Shadows had a hard time finding anything.
They only managed to find one detail.
Many people did die in the fire that year, mostly orphans.
However, one orphan managed to escape.
Strangely.
She had yet to find the identity and whereabouts of this person.
"Ms. Payne, the weather is nice today. Let me take you out for a walk."
Dana watched her sit in the living room staring nkly every day, not even ying her favorite games.
She was genuinely worried that Juniper would get sick holding everything in because of her "sixth sister."
It was tragic.
Seven siblings, and why did only she meet with a mishap?
And Ms. Payne...
Neither crying nor throwing a tantrum, just keeping it bottled up. It must be agonizing.
"Not interested."
Junipery on the sofa with herptop on herp, disying the orphanage''s files.
Because the orphanage was privately funded, and management wasx in the early years, many records hadn''t been synchronized.
Without those records, it was tough for her to track down any leads.
"I heard a really good dessert shop opened in North Borough. Let me take you there to check it out."
Dana thought about it and used her ultimate weapon.
"Dana, I''m fine."
Juniper slightly lifted her eyelids, looking faintly at Dana, and said unhurriedly, "I''ve been through bigger things growing up. Nothing can bring me down."
"Besides, I don''t believe my sixth sister is that unlucky."
A strong intuition told her that her sixth sister wasn''t dead.
"As long as you''re fine."
Dana smiled awkwardly andforted her affectionately. "Tell me what you want to eat, and I''ll make it for you."
Ms. Payne was always happy when she was full.
"Okay."
Juniper smiled slightly and watched Dana leave.
The next second.
The smile faded from her eyes, and her face looked a bit defeated.
No.
She needed to go to the hospital again to check on the director''s recovery.
Under her and the hospital''s meticulous care.
The director recovered quickly, and hisplexion was much better than before.
He would probably wake up soon.
Leaving the hospital.
Juniper didn''t want to go back and face Dana''s "concerned" gaze just yet, so she wandered the streets alone.
Just as she was strolling.
A female voice suddenly rang out behind her: "Mrs. Schwartz."
"?"
Juniper instinctively turned around and saw Coralie, wearing a coat, heavy makeup, and big wavy hair, staring at her with a bright smile.
She was wearing a ck coat today, and the freezing weather didn''t stop her from wearing high heels.
Every move she made was noble and elegant, truly living up to her reputation as Caelus''s famous beauty.
"Long time no see." Coralie raised an eyebrow, her red lips curving. "Didn''t expect to run into you. What a coincidence."
"Coincidence?"
Juniper narrowed her eyes, saying casually, "You''ve been following me for twenty minutes, haven''t you?"
Coralie''s smile stiffened slightly, but
she quickly recovered and open/et
admitted, Why does a he
have to be so smart?" >
"Do you need something?"
Juniper asked expressionlessly, her hands in her pockets.
"Yes."
Coralie nodded slightly, stepped forward proactively, and said with a smile, I''m here to discuss a partnership with Schwartz Group expand my business empire."
"I originally wanted to approach Mr. Schwartz directly, but was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, soi came to you personally instead."
Coralie shook the pastry box in her hand, deliberately tempting her. "Shall we find a ce to sit, eat, and chat?"
Juniper wanted to refuse, but meeting Coralie''s sincere eyes and seeing the pastry in her hand...
