“I didn’t mean to see anything. I was just passing by. Please step aside,” Emily said coldly. Jack chuckled slyly. “What’s the big deal? Come join us. I won’t tell Mr. Yates.” The secretary, apparently accustomed to situations like this, stepped aside to make room for Emily. Emily’s gaze hardened. “Mr. Griffin, since you know who I am, you should also know that I’m not someone you can mess with.” She glanced around, realizing her exit was blocked. With no other options, she brought up Justin.Jack let out a cold laugh. “The only person I wouldn’t dare touch is Emma. But you? Who do you think you are? From what I’ve heard, women in your position only care about money. Whatever Justin’s paying you, I’ll double it.”He smirked and thought smugly, “As long as I get her in bed, who cares about paying her? I could just record a compromising video and use it to keep her in line. Women are all the same in bed anyway. But since she’s someone Justin has been with, I’m curious to see w

Justin noticed Emily had been gone for a while and instinctively reached for his phone to call her. The first unread message was from her, “I went home.” She didn’t wait for him. Why didn’t she wait for him? His mood instantly darkened, and the lively atmosphere at the table quickly cooled. Sensing the shift, the others wisely wrapped up the gathering and ended the dinner early. When Justin arrived home, the house was dark. Not a single light had been left on for him. “She’s avoiding me now?” he thought bitterly. But what could he do? He had already realized he couldn’t live without her. Justin turned on a warm light and stood by the bed, staring at Emily’s sleeping face for a long time before leaning down to plant a kiss on her forehead. Afterward, he headed to the closet for his pajamas and went to take a shower. The scent of alcohol and smoke washed away, replaced by the fragrance of the body wash Emily had bought. Feeling refreshed, he slipped into bed and pu

Jack couldn’t get Emily out of his head. Even during meetings at work, her figure kept intruding into his thoughts. After the meeting ended, instead of returning to his office, he wandered around the building, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. He didn’t find Emily but instead ran into Emma. His gaze swept over Emma from head to toe, comparing her to Emily in his mind. He shook his head subtly. “Not as striking as Emily,” he silently remarked. Still, his greasy fingers stroked his chin as he thought to himself, “She may not be as enticing, but she could still scratch the itch.”With a sly smirk, Jack adjusted his suit and approached Emma. His eyes lingered on her inappropriately as he spoke. “Miss Xander, I hear you landed the Wilfred project. Quite impressive. Looks like I’ll have to start calling you Director Xander soon.” Emma responded politely, “You’re too kind, Mr. Griffin. I’m just here to learn from the experience.” “If you ever need guidance, feel free to come

After finishing her meal, Emily felt thirsty. She searched the lounge and office for water but couldn’t find any, so she headed to the break room to grab a bottle of mineral water. On her way back after taking a couple of sips, she overheard a conversation. Someone was gossiping about her and Jack. Judging by the voice, it sounded like the secretary who had been with Jack the previous evening. “Don’t be fooled into thinking that the woman the CEO’s been bringing around is some saint. Last night at the dinner, she and Mr. Griffin were all over each other. She’s practically cheating on the CEO behind his back,” the secretary, Tina York said with a snide tone. “Seriously? With someone like Mr. Griffin? Isn’t the CEO way more attractive?” another voice replied. Tina continued with dramatic flair, “What’s so strange about that? I mean—” Her sentence cut off abruptly as she turned a corner and nearly ran into Emily, who was walking out of the break room. Caught red-handed goss

Emily made a quick stop at a mall’s makeup store to apply a light, everyday look. She had rushed out earlier that morning without any makeup, and after her shower, even the remnants of her foundation were gone.While there, she also picked up some pastries to bring as a gift for Wilfred, remembering he had mentioned enjoying them during their last conversation.Once ready, she called a car and headed to the address Wilfred had sent her.The destination was a street in the elegant Mistletoe neighborhood, surrounded by French-style villas. The romantic and elegant architecture immediately made her think this must be where Wilfred lived.When she rang the doorbell, it was Wilfred himself who opened the door. To her surprise, upon entering, she realized she was the only one he had invited. Emily had initially thought this was a private art exhibition and expected a small gathering of guests. She felt a fleeting moment of surprise but quickly composed herself. An assistant took th

“What?” Emily was stunned.Wilfred lowered his gaze, a soft smile masking the sadness in his eyes. “I apologize if I was too forward.”“Haley is a renowned artist. Someone with my reputation couldn’t possibly take over her work,” Emily replied with a self-deprecating smile.Wilfred didn’t press the matter further.After finishing their tour of the studio, they descended the staircase. Emily figured it was time for her to take her leave. The sound of her low heels on the wooden steps echoed, “click, clack”. Wilfred broke the silence with a casual question, “The first time I saw you was at the Yates family banquet. Are you a relative of the Yates family?” Emily shook her head, keeping her eyes on the steps. “No, we just happen to share the same last name.” He nodded, then asked more directly, “The man from the Smith family who was with you that day—is he your boyfriend?” Caught off guard, Emily froze for a moment. “Could he be interested in me?” she wondered briefly befor

Emily smiled and nodded, placing the fruit basket on the bedside table. “It’s fine,” she said gently. Richard’s enthusiastic “Sis!” really had a sibling-like warmth to it, and to her surprise, she didn’t find it off-putting. Richard squirmed in protest against Wilfred’s firm grip, trying to free himself. However, one warning glance from his older brother was enough to make him sit still and behave. Putting his phone away, Richard was just about to speak when Wilfred beat him to it. “This is my younger brother, Richard,” Wilfred said, introducing him. “And this is Miss Yates—Emily Yates.” Emily nodded politely in Richard’s direction. *Elsewhere, Helen had a day off from classes and was on a date with Zac at the movie theater. They were cuddled up, waiting for the show to start, when her phone buzzed with a message. Glancing at the screen, her expression instantly soured. She frowned, muttered a curse under her breath, and shoved the bucket of popcorn into Zac’s ha

Helen rushed to the hospital, pushing open the door, only to freeze in shock. Why was Emily there? “Emily?” Helen was equally surprised. “You two know each other?” Richard asked, looking between them. “Yeah,” Emily nodded. “We’re good friends.” “You’re good friends?” Richard repeated, his voice dripping with disbelief as he gritted his teeth. His usually gentle face turned stormy, and he glared fiercely at Helen standing in the doorway. Helen chuckled nervously, taking a step back as if to leave. “Well, since you’re doing fine, I’ll be heading out now,” she said quickly, trying to shut the door behind her. “Take care, little bro—” “Wait, ‘little bro’?” Emily repeated, her confusion growing. She still had no idea why Helen was here, let alone why she was calling Richard her little brother. Wilfred stepped in with a calm smile, explaining, “She’s my second sister, Helen.” Emily’s eyes widened in disbelief. Helen’s brother was Wilfred? Suddenly, things started to

“That’s my son, alright! Hahaha!” Harry exclaimed.*The sky was heavy and gray, thick with the pressure of an approaching storm. The situation hadn’t been fully resolved, and they wouldn’t be heading home that night.William drove them into the city and stopped in front of a hotel. Just after they stepped out and entered the lobby, raindrops began pounding against the ground.The four of them stood at the front desk to book rooms. Before Sam could speak, Justin stepped forward and asked, “It’s pouring out there—I'm guessing you’re running low on rooms?”The front desk clerk blinked, caught off guard by the question. But her professional instincts kicked in quickly, and she offered a polite, practiced smile. “Sir, we have plenty of rooms available. How many would you like?”“Four,” Haley answered for them.Moments later, the clerk handed over four key cards. “Four deluxe suites. Please take these.”Sam helped collect the keys, and the four of them headed toward the elevators.

“Didn’t you say Justin had lost his memory? And that woman—she’s just a paper tiger, right? So how the hell did everything fall apart?”Harry’s expression turned cold on the other end of the line. “What do you mean, what should you do? You failed to handle it, and now you have the nerve to ask me for help? Figure it out yourself!”“Vice President, I only called because I really don’t know what to do!” the project lead said, panic rising in his voice. “You were the one who told me Justin had amnesia! Now that the plan’s gone south, you can’t just throw me under the bus!”Harry’s voice turned icy. “Exactly. You botched something as critical as relocation compensation and delayed a major international project. What do you think the new female president is going to do? You think she’ll just let it slide? You’re lucky if she doesn’t fire you on the spot.”The project lead’s heart dropped.“I'm sorry. Please, I'm begging you. Please help me. I shouldn't have snapped at you earlier

The arrogance the village chief had shown earlier was completely gone now.“Look at the situation we’re in… what are we supposed to do?” he asked, his face heavy with worry.His son was currently in college—a time when money was tight. His family owned a large plot of land, and their relocation compensation had totaled over three million.Honestly, he had been satisfied with that amount. Once his son graduated and got a job, he planned to buy him an apartment outright in the city so he could settle down and start a family. There would even be enough left to buy a place in the county for himself and his wife to retire in comfort.But then, late last night, the project lead had knocked on his door and convinced him—and several other village leaders—to rally everyone into demanding more money. The logic was simple: with so many villagers on their side, if they stirred up trouble after signing the contracts and receiving the payouts, RC Corporation—facing construction deadlines—would

“You’re a woman—you don’t understand. We’ve farmed this land for generations. It’s not just about crops—this is where our ancestors are buried. And one day, we’re supposed to be buried here too. You really think you can just throw some money at us and buy out our whole village?“What about our family graves? Where are we supposed to be buried after we die? You want this land, then you’d better give us extra compensation for relocating our ancestors’ graves and cover burial plots for us too.”Haley almost laughed from sheer disbelief.So now RC Corporation was expected to handle not just their ancestors’ graves, but their own future burial plots as well? What next—arrange burial land for their children and grandchildren too?She raised an eyebrow, her smile sharp with anger. “That’s your only demand?”The village chief raised a hand, trying to sound reasonable.“You’re young and easy on the eyes, so we’ll call you ‘miss’—don’t take it the wrong way. We’re not trying to be difficul
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 730
The land relocation and planning process hadn’t just started today. Measurements were taken and notices were issued over two weeks ago. The compensation price had been discussed and agreed upon in advance. No one had raised objections.Two weeks should have been plenty of time for the villagers to find a new place to live and move out. So why had they waited until after the money was paid to suddenly cause a scene?“This... it’s a long story,” the project lead said awkwardly. “President, it’ll be easier if you come see for yourself.”As he spoke, he led them forward into the crowd.“Make way! Make way! This is the president of our corporate headquarters. If you have any concerns, tell her directly. Whatever we can do, we’ll do our best to meet your needs!”Hearing that, Haley shot a sharp look at his back, clearly displeased. She made a mental note of it and then turned her attention back to the villagers surrounding them.The four of them followed the project lead to a makeshi

“Something happened?” Haley gasped, then quickly grabbed the still-confused Justin and headed out to meet Sam.“Wait, you’re just leaving?” Helen called out as the two of them rushed off, saying it was a company emergency. “You haven’t even finished picking things out! Are you coming back for dinner or not?”Meanwhile, Alex, sitting on the carpet, squinted happily as he watched his mom pull Uncle Justin by the wrist. His face lit up with that unmistakable shipping-their-romance expression. In his mind, their relationship was definitely making progress!*At RC Corporation’s headquarters, by the time Haley and Justin arrived, Sam was already waiting with a stack of documents in hand, flipping through them as he stood by.“President, thank goodness you’re here.”“What’s going on?” Haley asked urgently.“It’s the international project site,” Sam began. “The land acquisition contracts were all signed today, and the compensation money was deposited into the villagers’ accounts.

A message notification chimed—it was a batch of photos from the private investigator they had hired. The pictures documented Justin and Haley’s entire outing that day.There were shots of the school building, the classroom, the playground, the garden, the restaurant, and even the front of the Yates family estate. In every candid photo, Justin looked like a child—his behavior was playful and immature, his expression wide-eyed and innocent.The investigator soon followed up with another message. “I couldn’t get inside the Yates estate, only managed to get shots from outside.”One photo showed Justin opening the passenger door and getting in, while Haley sat in the driver’s seat.Harry narrowed his eyes, cold and dangerous, and passed the phone to Jacob. His voice dripped with menace. “Looks like Justin really has no memory left. Hmph. A tiger who’s forgotten how to fight might as well be a housecat.”Jacob’s tone was just as ruthless. “We need to act fast. We can’t afford to wait

“So really, I should be thanking you,” Justin said softly. “For giving birth to Chase and Alex… for giving me a family, and a home again.”He pulled her into a tighter hug, so tight it was like he wanted to merge her into himself, to never let her go.For once, the tension between them faded into a rare calm. Haley didn’t push him away right away. It was as if she was slowly beginning to accept him.Only after the heavy emotions settled did Haley gently pull away. She got into the car and drove off, heading toward the city.As the sky darkened, she didn’t drive back to Mistletoe Villa. Instead, she stopped in front of a restaurant they used to visit often—back when she was still Emily Yates, and stayed by Justin’s side as his lover.Justin blinked, clearly surprised and caught off guard. A flicker of recognition flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it, replacing it with a confused, innocent look.“Sis, weren’t we going to the night market to get your favorite snacks? Why’d we

At the very center of the photo stood Emma, a year younger than the rest. Beside her, shoulder to shoulder, was the real Justin Yates in his college years.His expression darkened for a split second before he caught himself and quickly masked it. He covered it well—furrowing his brows, pretending to study the photo with a blank look, like he wanted to remember something but couldn’t quite grasp it.“This picture… I don’t remember it,” he said, feigning confusion. “But wait—why are you in it, too?” He pointed at the image, his tone naive and questioning.Haley lowered her gaze and answered calmly, “It’s your college graduation photo. From Haven State. The girl standing next to you is Emma.“She’s the one who saved your life. You spent years searching for her… the ‘one true love’ you couldn’t forget.”She didn’t even know what she felt as she said it. Maybe she just wanted to help him recover what he had lost. Maybe that was all.But Justin shook his head, flustered. “No, that’s
