Chapter 1179 Who Belongs to Whom (III)

• “So how did it end?” Yasmin Langston peeled an apple. Chadwick Fullner reached to take it, but she curved her hand and passed it to Keith Branwell instead. Chadwick stared, helpless, then cleared his throat and walked them through the deal he and Madison Sawyer had made with Zheng Chengwen, plus the final ruling.
• Yasmin reacted just like Kate Penrose had: “Honestly, you and Madison messed up. You shouldn’t have gone soft. Sure, the shares matter, but look at what Lightsource has turned into now. Think about it—if you could claw Regal Peaks back step by step and hammer Lightsource like this, you’ve got the winning hand. What’s there to be scared of? Clean out the small fry first, then pull the big one down. No loose ends. You’d get the shares back in the end anyway. But you went soft and knocked it down to just a couple decades. You think a guy like that will be grateful? If he gets out and lunges at you, you won’t see it coming.”
• Chad bit into the apple and rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue. He knew Yasmin meant well, and sure, it sounded reasonable. It just wasn’t very doable.
