“I’m glad you’re all here,” I said. “Because I have a surprise, too.”
Nick frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
I nodded toward the sound and video technician. “Play it.”
The lights dimmed, and the screenshots I had taken of the messages between Lori, Nick, and my mother discussing the wedding and their affair appeared on the white screen at the front.
The whispers began almost immediately.
Someone near the front gasped, “Oh my God.”
Another woman exclaimed, “They’re stealing her wedding?”
I heard someone say, “Her own family did this to her?”
Nick’s face drained of color. Lori dropped his arm.
“Turn that off,” she hissed.
“If you don’t like people knowing the truth about you, Lori, Nick, and Mom, then maybe you shouldn’t do such awful things to people behind their backs.”
“Andrea, you’re making a big scene out of nothing!” Mom cried. “Your sister and Nick are in love. They didn’t know how to tell you, so they—”
“Decided to hijack my wedding?”
