The confrontation

Annabelle turned to Sherly, her heart racing with both fear and determination. She knew she couldn't reveal her secret identity, but she had to clear the doubts that Sherly had about her relationship with Edwards. Taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to speak.

"I'm not cheating on Edwards," she said firmly, her voice steady despite the panic that threatened to consume her. She knew that Sherly would call her bluff, but she had to defend herself. She couldn't let anyone tarnish her reputation or jeopardize her relationship.

Sherly, with her phone in hand, stood up and walked towards Annabelle. The look on her face was a mix of anger and triumph. Annabelle's heart sank as Sherly showed her the picture and video she had taken, flipping through them with a victorious smile on her face.
