Chapter 16 - The investigation

Emily's discovery had opened up a whole new can of worms. She was determined to get to the bottom of the scandal and find out what Julian's role was in it.

She spent the next few days digging deeper, talking to people who knew Julian and his business dealings. Some were willing to share information, while others were tight-lipped.

One person who seemed particularly nervous was Julian's assistant, Sophia. Emily decided to pay her a visit and see if she could get anything out of her.

"Sophia, I need to ask you something," Emily said, trying to sound casual. "What's going on with Julian's company? There's a lot of rumors going around."

Sophia glanced around nervously before leaning in close. "I don't know what you're talking about," she whispered.

Emily pressed her for more information, but Sophia refused to budge. "I'm just warning you, Emily. Stay away from this. It's not safe."

Emily's curiosity was piqued. What was Sophia hiding? And what did she mean by "it's not safe"?

As Emily left Sophia's office, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was getting close to something big. But she also knew that she was taking a risk by poking around in Julian's business.
