00:03My bestie and I have known each other for 20 years, but today, my bestie and my husband betrayed me
00:08together.
00:12Jessica, did you go to that Cool Fly concert? I heard the live show was amazing.
00:17Yeah, I saw clips online. I wish I were there. Come back soon and we can go together.
00:23Let's go to the kiss camp.
00:32On the third day of my business trip to the West Coast, I saw a video of my husband kissing
00:37my bestie at the Cool Play concert.
00:42On my wedding day, she cried her eyes out.
00:45Wishing you forever happiness.
00:51After a few moments of silence, I called her.
00:58Jessica, did you go to that Cool Fly concert?
01:00I heard the live show was amazing.
01:02Yeah, I saw clips online. I wish I were there. Come back soon and we can go together.
01:07Okay.
01:08I hung up and caught the first flight straight to her place.
01:15Jessica, I'll protect you.
01:17Emily, you are the hero in my life.
01:19After 20 years, I had to ask her, why did you lie to me?
01:22My flight landed in Boston at exactly 9pm.
01:26Perfect time for a date.
01:28What took you so long?
01:30I went straight to Jessica's apartment and knocked.
01:35She opened the door and the moment she saw me, her face went pale.
01:45Emily, what are you doing back? Weren't you in Los Angeles for work?
01:48Didn't speak.
01:48My eyes locked onto her nightgown.
01:50It was a black lace see-through nightgown.
01:52Week ago, I went shopping with her.
01:54A woman needs to feel like a woman.
01:56This is my secret weapon.
01:58Now this secret weapon I helped her pick out,
02:00was it going to be used on my husband?
02:07I wanted to laugh, but my eyes got red first.
02:11Jessica and I had been best friends since we were little.
02:15At 7, I chased away the boys who bullied her.
02:19Jessica, I'll protect you.
02:21Emily, you are the hero in my life.
02:24At 13, I was the one who grabbed a mop and charged into the bathroom.
02:28You bullies, don't you dare hurt my friend!
02:35At 17, we went to different high schools.
02:37Her parents were fighting and separated.
02:39Emily, I can't go on anymore.
02:41Surviving on $20 a month, she dropped from 135 LBS to 80 LBS.
02:48Sneaked out of my boarding school that night and ran home.
02:51Nelt in front of my parents, begging them to sponsor her.
02:54Thus, she made it through and got into an Ivy League, from 7 to 27.
02:58We'd known each other for 20 years.
03:00She said so many times that I was the hero in her girlhood.
03:03Now, she was wearing the sexy nightgown I helped her pick out,
03:07ready to climb into my husband's bed.
03:09Thinking about this, I wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
03:12I tried to stay calm and asked her,
03:15Do you have a date tonight?
03:17My voice was natural as ever.
03:19Who is he? Do I know him? Tell me bestie.
03:21But her face went completely white.
03:30It's just a colleague.
03:33You don't know him.
03:34She was still lying to me.
03:35My eyes scanned her panicked face, then landing on her wrist.
03:40I smiled slightly.
03:42That's a pretty bracelet.
03:45Did your colleague give you that too?
03:48Last Valentine's Day, I went through Chad's purchase history.
03:51A pair of gold earrings.
03:53Van Cleef & Arpel's ruby bracelet.
03:55The earrings were $5,000.
03:57I was wearing them.
03:59The bracelet was $38,000.
04:00He gave it to Jessica.
04:02They look beautiful on you.
04:07She immediately hid her left hand behind her back.
04:10Yeah, from my colleague.
04:12She couldn't even lie convincingly.
04:14And yet, she'd been hiding this from me for so long.
04:17Forget it.
04:18I won't interrupt your date.
04:20See you tomorrow.
04:22I turned and walked away.
04:24A smile disappeared from my face.
04:29On the way home, I called my father.
04:31Dad, I need your help.
04:33Chad's job.
04:34Jessica's apartment.
04:35And every penny they've spent of my money over the years.
04:37Hire a lawyer and get it all back.
04:39Emily, are you sure?
04:41Yeah.
04:42They're together.
04:43And I won't be taken advantage of.
04:45I understand.
04:50My dad moved fast.
04:51I had just gotten home when the divorce lawyer sent me the email.
04:54Three gigabytes of evidence and documents.
04:56Opened it.
04:57Besides photos and hotel records,
04:59there was a video account I'd never seen before.
05:01Every single one had my husband Chad in it.
05:03I found out their first kiss was on my 23rd birthday.
05:06While I went out to get the cake,
05:08they were in the living room,
05:09like their lives depended on it.
05:11Her first time was during that citywide storm.
05:13Jessica's neighborhood lost power.
05:15I knew she was afraid of the dark.
05:17So when I couldn't reach her,
05:18I drove through the storm to check on her.
05:20I was completely soaked.
05:21Jessica's door was locked.
05:22I was afraid something had happened to her
05:24and kept knocking in the dark for an hour.
05:25Now I know.
05:26She was in a hotel suite with Chad that night,
05:28having a candlelit dinner.
05:30They slept together for the first time.
05:32And the latest video, uploaded 10 minutes ago,
05:34it was shot at Jessica's apartment.
05:36She was still wearing that sexy nightgown,
05:38smiling innocently at the camera.
05:39Shh, almost got caught.
05:43But Mr. Thompson said he'll make it up to me tonight.
05:47He's not allowed to go home.
05:49The voice was so natural,
05:50not even a trace of guilt.
05:52Four years, 83 videos,
05:54from my birthday to the stormy night.
05:55Every moment I thought they hated each other,
05:57they were behind my back,
05:58kissing and cheating.
06:02My hand gripped the mouse
06:03until my knuckles went white.
06:05Suddenly remembered my wedding day.
06:06Jessica wore the bridesmaid dress
06:08we picked out together.
06:09She was crying her eyes out.
06:11She held my hand and threatened Chad.
06:13Emily is my best friend.
06:15If you ever hurt her,
06:16I will make you pay.
06:18The bouquet toss,
06:19everyone in the crowd was reaching for the bouquet.
06:21But I walked through the crowd
06:22and handed the bouquet directly to her.
06:24Jessica, I hope you find happiness too.
06:31She froze for a second,
06:32then sobbed uncontrollably.
06:34She shouted in my ear,
06:35Emily, I hope you are happy forever.
06:38Scenes flashed before my eyes.
06:40I sat on the couch,
06:41tears streaming silently down my face.
06:44My phone rang.
06:45It was Chad.
06:46His voice was half cautious,
06:47half complaining.
06:48Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?
06:50I wouldn't have known
06:51if Jessica hadn't told me.
06:53His voice was half cautious,
06:54half complaining.
06:56Where are you now?
06:58Do you want me to pick you up?
06:59I didn't speak.
07:00My eyes were fixed on Jessica's latest video.
07:03I'm at the airport.
07:05Came back to get some files.
07:08Leaving again soon.
07:10Okay, honey.
07:13I'm still at work,
07:14so I won't be able to see you off.
07:15Let me know when you're back.
07:16I hung up.
07:18My lawyer, Ms. Smith,
07:20looked at me hesitantly.
07:21So, what's your plan now?
07:24Mrs. Smith.
07:25If I catch them in the act,
07:27does that help my case in divorce court?
07:32Yes, it can help.
07:34I pulled out my phone
07:35and called a few important people.
07:37First, my dad.
07:39Dad.
07:40Major player in Boston finance.
07:41Also, Chad's boss.
07:42Meet me at Jessica's building.
07:44Tonight.
07:45For my sake,
07:45after Memorial Day,
07:46he was going to promote Chad.
07:48Send me the address.
07:49Second, Jessica's parents.
07:51Mr. Miller,
07:51please come to Jessica's apartment tonight.
07:54There's something you both need to see.
07:55Please meet me at Jessica's building.
07:58Come with me and witness a big surprise.
08:00And Chad's parents,
08:01his brother,
08:02I called everyone I could think of.
08:04I told them all to meet me at the place.
08:08Today, I wanted to see their faces
08:10when they found their daughter in bed with my husband.
08:13I thought a lot.
08:14I remembered the first time Jessica and Chad met.
08:17I carefully played peacemaker.
08:18Chad, this is my cousin Jessica.
08:20Jessica, this is Chad.
08:21I hate her.
08:24We don't get along.
08:25I can't stand her.
08:26Don't put us together.
08:30Jessica said you're young and promising.
08:33She said that?
08:34Chad picked this for you.
08:36I gave Jessica gifts
08:37and told her they were from Chad.
08:39I thought I was protecting my love
08:41and my friendship.
08:42Looking back now,
08:43the biggest laughing stock was me.
08:49That's okay.
08:51Soon, they won't be laughing anymore.
09:20We'll see you next time.
09:35We'll see you next time.
10:04We'll see you next time.
10:34We'll see you next time.
11:02We'll see you next time.
11:29We'll see you next time.
12:02We'll see you next time.
12:28We'll see you next time.
12:41We'll see you next time.
12:41We'll see you next time.
12:42We'll see you next time.
