The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1027

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.

With Brittany unyielding, the police had no choice but to detain her, though her lawyer stayed by her side, vigilant against any potential coercion.

Yuri wasted no time in diving deep into the Lynette Conglomerate's affairs, determined to unearth the truth.

Meanwhile, Saskia couldn't hide her delight, seeing Brittany's downfall as a ladder to her own ascent within the family.

Deeper investigation revealed tampering with the contracts indeed signed by Brittany—a setup.

Elsewhere, Isaac arrived in Craneville, where Elijah awaited him with news of Brittany's predicament. Despite their business ties, Elijah was genuinely concerned for Brittany. "If those charges stick, she's sunk," he noted.

Isaac, troubled, vowed to uncover the truth, with Elijah offering any necessary support.

Brittany spent 48 hours in custody, treated well but growing increasingly frustrated with the escalating rumors and accusations. Tensions reached a boiling point when a young officer, unable to contain his impatience, confronted her, demanding a confession.

Brittany, innocent and steadfast, refused to admit to crimes she hadn't committed. "Why should I confess to something I'm not guilty of?" she retorted, her integrity unshaken despite the pressure.

The chief of police, realizing the gravity of the situation and the potential fallout of mishandling a Lynette, quickly intervened, apologizing to Brittany for the young officer's rashness. "Please understand, he's young and impulsive. Don't take it to heart," he pleaded, dragging the disgruntled officer away and warning him of the dire consequences of crossing a Lynette. "You've got to learn when to hold your tongue," he scolded, aware of the delicate balance between justice and the influence of the Lynette family.
