Chapter 3 - The Wire Cancellation
Evan scrambled into his jacket pocket, pulling out his phone with trembling hands.
Brooke’s snarl turned into a look of sudden, cold panic as she reached out to grab Evan’s wrist. "Evan, don't! Put that away! She's lying! She's trying to ruin our day!"
"Let him look, Brooke," Stacey said softly into the microphone, her tone unshakable and razor-sharp. "I just canceled my forty-five thousand dollar house down payment."
Glenn Ashby rushed over from the family table, his forehead dripping with cold sweat as he held his own phone out to Brooke. "Brooke... the title company just sent an urgent alert. The escrow wire was rejected. The seller is canceling the contract!"
The entire room erupted into whispers. Relatives held their breath, clutching their wine glasses as the drama unfolded at the center of the dance floor.
