Bride Behind the Mask novel Chapter 202

An hour later, Marina Shores Village.

Graceful Light Chapel nestled halfway up StarGaze Summit. Frederick parked his car at the open-air parking lot at the base of the hill, and then proceeded on foot.

The hill wasn't high, and after a short walk, the small chapel came into view.

The steps leading up to it were covered in moss, and the sign hanging above the entrance was worn and weathered from years of exposure to the elements.

At first sight, Frederick felt a strange sense of familiarity with the chapel.

This feeling was quite unexpected, given that he had never been here before, not even during the fifteen years he had lived in Marina Shores Village with his mother.

But he just couldn't shake off the feeling that he had seen this place somewhere.

In fact, he had.

Back when Marguerite was still working at LuxeScents International, she was ordered to move her workstation to the CEO's office. That was when Frederick had seen a picture of Marguerite and her grandmother.

The backdrop of that picture was Graceful Light Chapel.

Because the photo was old, Frederick hadn't recognized the elderly woman as Laverne, nor had he realized that the background was the Graceful Light Chapel.

Just then, an old man dressed in a gray robe emerged from the chapel. Frederick stopped pondering over his sense of familiarity and approached the old man, explaining why he was there.

"Sir, if you wish to get a replacement for the necklace, you'll need to provide your ID card or ID number."

Frederick frowned slightly. In his haste, he had forgotten to ask Yuna for her ID number!

He asked the old man to wait for a moment and stepped aside to call Yuna.

To his surprise, her phone was off. Dammit!

Normally, she was like a ghost, always hovering nearby and calling him all the time. But at this crucial moment, she had disappeared!

Frederick put away his phone, his expression darkening.

The old man noticed the change in Frederick's demeanor and stepped forward to help.

Then whose necklace had she been wearing before?

The other officers in the station were equally puzzled.

A woman leaned over to glance at the screen, "Yuna? That name sounds so familiar!"

"Oh! Isn't that Ablett and Zoe's family?"

"It must be, we don't have another Yuna in our village."

"Wow! They have the audacity to buy such a precious sapphire necklace for Yuna? Have they forgotten about the child they abandoned? Talk about favoritism! That poor girl!"

The unintentional revelation left Frederick petrified, disbelief painted across his face. "They had abandoned a child before?"

"Yes, indeed! The Ablett couple had two children but they abandoned one, supposedly due to some conflict in their birth charts. That child was Yuna's sister, so Yuna would never have had a sapphire necklace. At that time, everyone in the village knew that Zoe had abandoned her child. When she had tried to get a sapphire necklace, which means a lucky thing in out village, for Yuna, the old man at Graceful Light Chapel had outright refused her."

"Now that you mention it, I do remember something like that! What was the name of the child they abandoned?"
