Chapter 11 - The Event Coordinator Confirms The Cancellation
The venue event coordinator stepped up to the microphone stand, holding her digital tablet up for everyone to see.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as the authorized manager of this facility, I need to make a public clarification,” she announced.
“Every single dollar paid for this event—from the hall rental to the catering—was wired directly from Kenneth Miller’s account.”
“Neither Mr. Arthur Miller nor Ms. Brenda Vance has contributed a single financial cent toward tonight’s celebration.”
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as the illusion of the wealthy, generous Miller patriarch completely evaporated.
Brenda covered her mouth with her hands, realizing that her high-society friends now knew she was a broke parasite.
“That’s a lie! Our family pool funds together!” Brenda shrieked hysterically, tears of rage springing to her eyes.
“We have the wire transfer receipts and bank statements right here on file,” the coordinator stated smoothly.
“Furthermore, Mr. Miller has just authorized a full refund of all remaining unspent deposits directly back to his account.”
