Brittany had braced herself for the storm, knowing well that standing tall and facing the investigation was the only way forward. "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear," she reminded herself, ready to cooperate with the authorities. Her assistant, not daring to delay, quickly escorted Daniel off the plane via the rear exit, avoiding any immediate confrontation. Masked to maintain a semblance of anonymity, Brittany disembarked in the usual manner, only to be met by an immediate rush. Police officers approached her at once. "Miss Brittany, we've received a report accusing you of bribery. Please, come with us."

Unperturbed, Brittany agreed, not wanting to cause a scene or further delay other passengers. Reporters swarmed around them, cameras flashing, questions flying. Brittany, however, tuned them all out and followed the officers out of the airport. At the station, Yuri was already waiting, alongside a lawyer. "Dad," Brittany acknowledged with a nod, relieved to see him but anxious about the situation.

Yuri, relieved to see his daughter safe, quickly turned to address the chief of police, "My daughter is here willingly to cooperate with your investigation. We will follow your procedures and provide all necessary evidence to prove her innocence." The chief, wary of offending Yuri but pressured by the public's demand for answers, had no choice but to proceed with caution.

Brittany, in the interrogation room, faced the officers' questions head-on, denying any involvement in bribery. However, the evidence presented to her a series of contracts bearing her signature suggested otherwise. "These could put you away for a long time," they warned, suggesting leniency if she cooperated.

"I've done nothing wrong," Brittany insisted, shaking her head in denial.
