******** Continuation of the flashback **********
Just as I expected, I came back to the orphanage without a warm welcome. At first, they appeared to be worried, but when they found out that I caused Este’s death, they became cold towards me, including Lysander, Stefano, and even Luella.
The soldiers who discovered us said that I was the one who killed the CEO, that Este was caught in it. The other children believed it because I was physically stronger than Este. Besides, they cannot imagine Este as a killer. No, they’d rather put the blame on me.
And the adults needed someone to blame too, someone who was still alive. They needed someone to be punished for the murder of the CEO. And the soldiers were afraid to receive the punishment if their employers learned that they were being lax
