Chapter 748 Brotherhood (Fourteen)

• Yasmin Langston turned to Chadwick Fullner and pointed at Keith Branwell, saying, "You lied to Xiaoxiao and took Chad's money to run away. And now you have the audacity to treat it as a sacrifice and act like it's for love! Is this your idea of contribution? Have you ever considered what would have happened if Xiaoxiao had called the police? How long would three million keep Chad in jail? Chad has treated you like a brother all these years, and this is how you repay him? If he ended up in jail because of you, with his reputation tarnished, have you thought about the consequences? Do you know the struggles he faced to get where he is today? What gives you the right to ask for his forgiveness so boldly?"
• Keith Branwell's face was stained with tears and sweat as he replied, "Yasmin... I know I shouldn't have done that, but I was desperate. I am just a poor guy with no prospects. In this era, it's all about connections and background. No matter how hard you work, it's futile! I have been working diligently with you since graduation, but I have nothing to show for it. Working tirelessly all my life still can't afford me a house to marry you, let alone meet your family's expectations. Haven't I struggled enough? I had no other option at that time. I didn't betray Chad, the person I care about the most, after you, is Chad. I know I disappointed him, but I was left with no choice. I will make amends with him. If he does end up in jail, I will find a way to help him start anew with the money I earn. And I believe Xiaoxiao won't involve the police, she can't bear to see Chad in trouble!"
• Yasmin Langston couldn't bear it any longer, she slapped Keith Branwell's head to the side with a loud "smack".
