An hour later Marina Shores Village

Graceful Light Chapel nestled halfway up StarGaze Sunimit Frederick parked his car at the open our parking lot at the base of the hill, and then procedeti on fam The hill wasn't high, and after a short walk, the The steps leading up to it were covered in moss, and the sign hanging above the entrance was wom and weathered from

years of exposure to the detents At first sight, Frederick felt a strange sense of familiarity with the chapel.

This feeling was ofte unexpected, given that he had never been hem before, not even during the fifteen years he had lived in Marina Shores Village with his inothér But he just couldn't shake off the feeling tha In fact he had.

Back when Marguerite

was still working at LuxeScents Intemational, 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 em "Sir, if you wish to get a replacement for the necklace, you'll need to provide your ID card or ID number"

Fredenck 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!

Fredenck put away his phone, his expression darkening.

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

"Sir, those who can buy this kind of necklace in our chapel are all locals of Marina Shores Village. You can go to the local police station in the village, provide the name and date of birth, and they can help you f Frederick thanked the old man briefly and hurriedly left the hill to replace the local police station of Marina Shores Village

He provided Yuna's name and date of birth. As the officer was typing this information into the computer, he asked, "Sir, what do you need the ID number for?"

To get a replacement for the sapphire necklace," Frederick answered succinctly.

The officer quickly entered Yuna's name and hit the enter key, then looked up at Frederick.

"Sir, we do have a resident named Yuna in our village, and the birth date matches what you've given, but she has never bought the sapphire necklace"

Frederick was taken aback, his well-groomed eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Impossible!"

Seeing Frederick's conviction, the officer double-checked the screen to ensure there were no mistakes, and then explained carefully

"Sir, the sapphire necklace is a sacred peculiarity in our village. Each sapphire is unique and symbolizes a person's identity, so we keep records. There's no record of this Yuna buying the sapphire necklace"

What? There was no record of Yuna?

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 favontism! That poor girl!"

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