With this new information, I decided to write a detailed account of everything that had happened, including my conversations with Alex. I planned to send it to a journalist I knew who specialized in consumer rights. But as I sat down at my computer, a new email notification popped up. It was from the law firm again, this time with a more aggressive tone.
« Your continued unauthorized inquiry into our client’s operations could have legal consequences, » it read. They were trying to intimidate me, but I refused to back down. I took a deep breath, drafting my email to the journalist, attaching the evidence I had gathered.
Before hitting send, I paused, considering the potential fallout. But I knew I couldn’t let this go unchecked. As I clicked the send button, I felt a strange mix of anxiety and determination. I was finally taking action, whatever the outcome might be.
