Jessica tried to pull her wrist back from Mark's grip.
Her heart pounded wildly inside her chest with sheer panic.
Jessica: Why are you calling the police on me, Mark?
Mark: Because I know what you did last week, Jessica.
Jessica: I have done nothing wrong to you or anyone!
Mark: My mother's savings account was drained five days ago.
The crowded hall gasped loudly at his sudden, harsh statement.
Evelyn looked up at her son with absolute wide surprise.
Evelyn: My bank account was emptied, Mark? How so?
Mark: Over fifty thousand dollars was transferred away secretly, Mom.
Mark pulled out his smartphone with his free hand quickly.
He tapped the screen to reveal a legal document photo.
Mark: The bank manager sent me the identity confirmation today.
Jessica: That document is fake, somebody is framing me!
Mark: Your full legal name and signature are right here.
Jessica stopped pulling and stood completely frozen in place now.
Her mask of innocence had completely shattered before the guests.
She had intercepted Evelyn's mail weeks ago to get information.
She used Evelyn's private details to access her bank account.
She needed the cash to pay off huge old debts.
She thought Evelyn would be too quiet to notice quickly.
She intentionally hid the wedding venue details from Evelyn entirely.
She wanted Evelyn isolated from Mark during the whole process.
Jessica: Mark, I did it for our future together!
Mark: You stole from an innocent, hard-working older woman!
Jessica: I was going to put all the money back!
Mark: You lied to my face every single day, Jessica.
Evelyn held her hand over her mouth in deep sadness.
She could not believe the woman Mark loved was capable of this.
Evelyn: How could you take my life savings away from me?
Jessica: I was desperate, please do not send me away!
Mark: You showed no mercy to my mother a minute ago.
Mark pointed firmly toward the front grand exit doors downstairs.
Sirens could be heard wailing softly in the distance outside.
Two police officers had pulled up right to the driveway.
The guests parted down the middle to make a path.
Mark: You are going straight to federal prison for fraud!
Jessica covered her wet face with both of her hands.
She knew there was no way out of this disaster.
Her dream of a rich, grand life was completely gone.
