Chapter 253 The Bride Has Returned
Finished
Oscar frowned. When he was about to say something, the emcee’s voice resonated in the air.
Owen looked over the stage as well. Startled, he asked, “Why is Wyatt the groom?”
Owen then thought, did he come to the wrong banquet hall? Isn’t this Mr. Carl’s daughter’s wedding?
It was then that the spotlight lit up the aisle. The beam of light landed straight on the main door behind the aisle.
The bride in her veil held onto her family member’s arm as they walked up the aisle. Step by step, they walked towards the stage, capturing the attention of every guest in the hall.
Owen subconsciously held tight to Oscar, fearing that he would take this moment to charge in and interrupt the ceremony.
However, Oscar did not struggle at all. His eyes widened as he kept his gaze on the bride, who was walking steadily towards the stage without looking away.
Beneath the bridal veil, as light as a cicada’s wing, the bride’s face was finally visible–a gorgeous and poised young lady came into sight, her skin giving off a porcelain–like radiance under the spotlight.
Oscar subconsciously gripped Owen’s arms tightly until it caused him pain. In a trembling voice, he asked, “Owen, do you mind taking a look for me? Is that Yunice?”
Owen was entirely focused on stopping Oscar; he didn’t even spare a look at the bride.
Seeing Oscar standing frozen in place with a dumbfounded look, as if he were possessed, Owen grew frustrated as he tried to push Oscar out and said, “When are you going to accept the reality? Hurry up and go!”
Owen wasn’t paying attention to the bride. On the other hand, Lily and Elsie were staring at the
stage.
As they saw Wyatt, they thought they had gone to the wrong banquet hall.
But out of curiosity, they wanted to know who the bride was to Wyatt.
Yunice clung to Wyatt’s arm in her steady steps.
She put on a distant smile. As her gaze wandered, she kept an eye on the people and occurrences down the stage.
She noticed someone at the far end of the crowd–a dark and thin figure waving at her.
Before Yunice could react, the figure was lost in the crowd.

Kingsley must have already taken care of the fainted staff member for her, and she need not worry about Melina’s safety as well.
As Yunice was about to look away, her eyes met Lily’s.
The instant Lily saw Yunice, she subconsciously squeezed forward through the crowd, trying to take a closer look.
However, Lily simply thought she was just a noble, young lady who resembled Yunice; she never thought she was Yunice!
What attracted Lily to walk forward was the person beside the bride.
Of consensus, in wedding ceremonies, the fathers are the ones handing their daughters to the groom. Thus, the ones who will walk the bride down the aisle are usually the fathers.
But! But how could Carl be the one the bride is holding onto? Lily was shocked.
The same went for Elsie as she asked, “Mum, how is this possible? Is she Mr. Carl’s honorary daughter?”
Is Carl marrying her daughter off to Wyatt? Lily thought.
A cold crept through Lily. She never imagined that someone else had seized the opportunity she had been setting up for Elsie.
Elsie felt even more unsettled as she started to make a fuss. “Mum, if Mr. Carl were to help her honorary daughter, he wouldn’t help me! How am I supposed to gain attention from Paul?”
Lily’s mind was in chaos–she couldn’t bring herself to talk to Elsie.
It wasn’t until Yunice walked to Zyatt’s side and he lifted her bridal veil that Lily took a step backward in shock as she stammered, “It–It can’t…”
“It can’t be Yunice, right?” Freya’s mocking sound echoed from behind her as she turned her head around, flabbergasted.
Then she noticed Freya wearing a corsage on her chest that marked her as a member of the bride’s family. Feeling rage, she yelled, “What exactly is going on!”
With her arms crossed, Freya said in a flippant tone, “Madam Lily, if you are to cause a scene, you’ll end up being thrown out of the banquet hall.”
With her eyes staring at Freya, Lily played smart and kept quiet.
Lily wasn’t the only one who felt shocked. Elsie watched Yunice on stage as she radiated, enveloped in Zyatt’s adoring gaze. Her jealousy of Yunice surged through her so that she nearly bit through her lips.

still so pretty? Why doesn’t Zyatt seem to be cold and rejecting towards her? Elsie thought.
With her eyes red, Elsie stared at the stage for so long. Then it hit her–since the news about Yunice’s death spread, no one ever went to check the corpse beneath the white cloth.
After all, they believed that Carl had confirmed it by himself, and how could he be mistaken?
Elsie looked towards Freya. With her teary eyes, she asked in doubt, “Freya, may I ask if this is some kind of trap set by Mr. Carl to punish us?”
Lifting her brows, Freya asked with a wide smile. “Why do you see it as a punishment?”
Elsie could not further contain her tears, and she answered, “Because none of us went to confirm Yunice’s death. Thinking that we were cold–blooded, Mr. Carl chose to keep the news from us. | Plus, he didn’t allow us to attend her wedding ceremony.”
