Chapter 193
Thankfully, firefighters arrived quickly, extinguishing the blaze and rescuing the trapped child.
The incident received widespread attention, with live media present to cover the rescue.
After the child was taken to the hospital, many reporters and kindhearted people came to visit her.
Many people wanted to adopt her, but she was extremely distrustful of strangers, so no one was successful.
However, the orphan happened to trust Shawn and Caitlyn very much.
In front of the reporters cameras, she would always cower in fear, hiding in Shawn’s embrace.
People following the story urged Shawn and Caitlyn to adopt the girl, and with time, the calls grew louder.
Shawn and Caitlyn had always engaged in charity to boost their reputation. Now, presented with such a golden opportunity, they found it hard to refuse. With the help and encouragement of others, they eventually adopted Angel and named her so.
After being adopted by the Campbell family, Angel attracted much attention.
To showcase her growth, Shawn created a Twitter account to update her daily life.
Once Angel began junior high, she managed the account herself.
Over the years, the account gained millions of followers, and Angel became a very influential internet celebrity.
This rags-to-riches transformation, with its inspirational, wholesome, and optimistic image, indeed brought her many benefits.
But that was merely the side the public saw. In Celeste’s heart, Angel is nothing like what the internet believes her to be!
Celeste was not happy when she first learned that her parents were adopting Angel. Growing up, her parents had always been busy, leaving her little attention. Now that they were finally successful and had more time, they brought in an adopted sister, which, naturally, she wasn’t thrilled about.
But when Caitlyn told her about Angel’s background, she changed her mind. Having a sister didn’t seem too bad, at least someone could keep her company
After a brief struggle, she soon decided to be friendly towards Angel
At first, Angel was super careful and well-behaved, which, when contrasted with Celeste’s bustling energy, made her seem incredibly gentle and docile. Not only did Shawn like her, but Caitlyn also praised her for being sensible from time to time.
Soon, she became a real member of the Campbell family
Everything seemed normal as the story unfolded.
But it only lasted for two years.
The year Angel was adopted, Celeste happened to be in her second year of junior high. Two years later, she got admitted into the High School of J City. Because the high school had a closed-off management policy requiring students to live on campus, she ended up spending more time at school. What should’ve been her golden time to hang out with her classmates and make friends, for young Celeste at school, gradually proved to be a time of isolation
