Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 224

“Oh?” Juniper watched Shanley, her clear eyes suddenly deepening.

“Someone’s been asking around about the shipwreck from over a decade ago,” Shanley said, pausing for a moment before adding softly, “They specifically mentioned… a little girl rescued by a fishing boat.”

“Clink.”

Juniper was eating an orange slice, but at his words, it slipped from her fingers and fell back onto the plate with a soft sound.

All records of the shipwreck were supposed to have been destroyed. Very few people knew what happened, let alone that she had been rescued by a fishing boat.

“Are you saying…” Juniper’s lips moved, but the words felt stuck in her throat.

“Yes,” Shanley said, gently stroking her hair in a soothing gesture. “Juniper, the people looking for you… might be your family.”

It could be her parents, or her siblings. Which meant his Juniper was about to have more people to dote on her.

“For now, just focus on the race. Your brother and I will handle the family matter.”

Jimmie was the one who had discovered this, and they had waited until they were sure some relatives were alive before telling her.

Family? Juniper sat there, her mind a complete blank. She was still getting used to having one brother… Wasn’t this all happening a little too fast?

...

The next afternoon, Juniper went to the training grounds as usual, only to be stopped at the entrance.
