Chapter 7: The Investigation Begins

Sheryna couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about Mr. X. She decided to do some digging and see if she could find any information about him. After a few hours of searching online, she stumbled upon an old newspaper article from a few years ago.

The article was about a man named Mr. X who had been involved in a financial scandal and had been accused of embezzlement. The article mentioned that he had disappeared after the scandal broke out and had not been heard from since.

Sheryna was shocked. She had no idea that Mr. X had such a shady past. She decided to confront him about it and see if he would be willing to explain himself.

"Mr. X, I found an old newspaper article about you," Sheryna said, trying to keep her voice steady. "It says that you were involved in a financial scandal a few years ago. Is that true?"

Mr. X looked surprised but quickly composed himself. "Yes, it is true," he said, looking down. "I made some mistakes in the past, and I deeply regret them. I've been trying to make amends ever since."

Sheryna nodded, still feeling uneasy. "I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but I just want to make sure that Rachel is safe. Can you assure me that you won't do anything to hurt her?"

Mr. X looked up, his eyes softening. "I would never do anything to hurt Rachel," he said, his voice sincere. "She means everything to me, and I would do anything to protect her."

Sheryna nodded, feeling slightly reassured. She decided to let the matter go for now but promised herself that she would keep a close eye on Mr. X.

As she left the room, Sheryna couldn't help but feel conflicted. On one hand, she wanted to trust Mr. X and believe that he had changed. On the other hand, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off about him. She decided to keep investigating and see if she could find any more information about his past.
