Candy becomes inseparable. After her tenth birthday, and thanks to her
charisma, a very wealthy family, the Britters, want to adopt Candy but she
denies to not break the promise you made to Annie to always be together. Without
embargo, it's Annie who is adopted by the Britter (or Brighton) family and Candy sees
her innocence betrayed by her friend's firm desire to have parents.

The fact that Annie was adopted caused many fans to scorn her for
their selfish actions, but they forget that in the manga the situation is the opposite
