Chapter 6 - Emily Realizes Her Best Friend Was Involved Too
The mention of Jessica’s signature on the seventh bank account gnawed relentlessly at the back of Emily’s racing mind.
She walked over to the mahogany desk, picking up her smartphone to dial her best friend’s private number.
“Don’t call her yet, Emily; let us handle the interrogation legally,” David advised, stepping closer to his daughter.
“I need to hear her say it... I need to know why Jessica would destroy our ten-year friendship for money,” Emily pleaded.
Against her father’s advice, Emily pressed the speakerphone button and held the phone up as it began to ring.
“Hello? Emily? I’m kind of busy right now,” Jessica’s cheerful voice chirped through the tiny speaker.
“Jessica, I’m looking at the bank transfer documents from three days before my wedding,” Emily said, her voice shaking.
The line went dead silent on the other end for several agonizing seconds before Jessica responded cautiously.
“I... I don't know what paperwork you're talking about, Em. You must be looking at outdated files,” Jessica lied nervously.
“Your signature is right here on account number seven, alongside Brian and Evelyn’s,” Emily confronted her directly.
