Chapter 752 Brothers (Eighteen)

• "I used to adore him, cherish him as a person, because even in the face of life's challenges, there was always a glimmer of hope. However, he has proven himself to be the opposite of what I desire, shattering all my hopes in the process. Do you see any hint of remorse in his actions? He merely offers empty apologies, questions why we won't forgive him, and attempts to buy our forgiveness with money. His sole focus now is money, believing that once he has enough, I will return to him. Will there come a time when he believes I can be bought with money? Furthermore, Emily, don't you find it suspicious? Look at his demeanor, he must be worth tens of millions. How could he amass such wealth in just a year or two? Three million is no small sum, but to earn that much through legitimate means in such a short period is perplexing. I know him well, and he lacks Chad's astute mind or diligent work ethic. Hence, I suspect that his fortune is not from a lawful source. If he can acquire that three million, he may take greater risks and engage in even more dubious or illegal activities... Do you think I can forgive him? Will there be brighter days if I return to him? I dread the thought of living in constant fear."
• Emily's eyes widened as she responded, "In that case, we should at least caution him. Despite our differences, we are classmates at the very least. We cannot idly stand by and watch him stray down the wrong path." Emily's words were partly influenced by her gender, understanding that Yasmin Langston's facade of strength often masked her vulnerability. Yasmin Langston found it challenging to let go of Keith Branwell. If anything were to happen to Keith Branwell, Yasmin Langston would bear the brunt of the consequences.
• A pained expression crossed Yasmin Langston's face. "Would it make a difference? If he truly desired change and redemption, he wouldn't have uttered those words. We are adults, and we must face the repercussions of our choices. The three of us are no exception, and he cannot evade that reality."
