After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 116
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

Emily enjoyed the warm atmosphere. It truly felt like being among siblings. That was until Justin called her. “Where are you? I’m coming to pick you up right now.” Reluctantly, Emily said her goodbyes. Richard, for one, seemed especially reluctant to see her go. A sleek black Maybach pulled up in front of the hospital. William stepped out and opened the door for her. As Emily slid into the backseat, Justin’s cold, sharp voice greeted her. “I thought you were at an art exhibit. Why were you at a hospital?” His interrogative tone instantly soured her mood. “We have a contract, Justin. That doesn’t make me your prisoner,” she snapped. “Alright,” Justin said simply before reaching over and inspecting her, his hands moving to check her arms and shoulders. “What are you doing?” Emily protested, trying to push him away. “I’m checking if you’re hurt,” he replied, his tone surprisingly serious and devoid of accusation. Emily froze for a moment, startled. Was he… worri

Elena pursed her lips, placed the file on the desk, but didn’t leave. Instead, she asked, “Dr. White, are you going on a blind date?” Zac looked up at her, his brows furrowing slightly. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” Elena quickly explained, lowering her head. “Your voice was just so loud. I accidentally overheard.” After a brief pause, Zac admitted, “Yes, I am.” “And… who’s it with?” Elena asked hesitantly, her voice slightly unsure as she blinked at him. “Alright, you can go now,” Zac replied almost at the same time, not catching her question. His attention was elsewhere. “Oh.” Elena murmured in disappointment, turned, and left the room. *The next morning, Alex woke up to find his mom wasn’t beside him. “She must’ve gotten up earlier than me,” he thought, getting out of bed obediently to change and brush his teeth. His little mind was still consumed by what his aunt had told him yesterday—Justin had a girlfriend. He had thought about it all night, even dre

The phone on the side buzzed, and Justin picked it up to see a message from Emma. It was a shared link about the upcoming art exhibition featuring the artist Haley. He clicked on the link, a flicker of regret crossing his face. Missing Haley’s exhibition in Merika State had been a disappointment, but this time, he was determined to attend. He needed to meet Haley in person to complete what Emily had left unfinished in her lifetime. “When the day comes that I die, I’ll be able to tell Emily about it when I see her again,” he thought to himself. Justin replied with a simple thank you to Emma’s message, then opened the link to reserve a spot for the exhibition. Seeing his response, Emma immediately booked herself a ticket as well. Five years—it had been five years, and now she had to pretend to like the things Emily had enjoyed just to stay close to Justin. How ridiculous. She actually had to play the role of her own stand-in.The thought made her seethe with resentment. “I

After refreshing the page, the screen displayed: “This webpage no longer exists. Please browse other content.”*Emma had just returned to her office and sat down, feeling quite pleased. She had checked the online comments, and the public sentiment was overwhelmingly in her favor. The news was trending, and the attention boosted her mood.As she was about to dive into work, her phone buzzed with a message from Jacob. She opened it, and her expression immediately darkened. It was a photo of her in bed, clearly showing her face. A second message followed: “Last night, you were incredible! So passionate!”Her hands tightened around the phone. “He took my nude photo while I was asleep?” she fumed.She immediately called Jacob. The line barely rang before he picked up.“Jacob Yates, delete that photo right now!” Emma snarled, lowering her voice and locking her office door to ensure no one could overhear.A chuckle came through the line, followed by his teasing, mockingly affectionate

“I’ll handle this, Mom,” Justin said firmly.On the other end of the line, Heidi’s voice rose in frustration. “You need to send her away immediately! She saved your life, yes, but after all these years of taking care of her, you’ve more than repaid that debt.”She didn’t stop there. “And don’t let this mess ruin your blind date. I’ve already arranged the time and place, and I’m sending the details to your phone. No matter what’s going on, you have to be there!”Justin sighed. “Mom, didn’t we agree—no more blind dates?”Heidi was relentless. “This is the last one. Did you forget how you promised me in Merika State that you’d meet this girl when you came back? Trust me, this time she’s perfect—” Before she could finish, Justin cut her off. “Fine, Mom, I’ll go. I’m in the middle of something. I’ll talk to you later.” As he hung up, Heidi glared at her phone and muttered, “That boy gets harder to handle the older he gets.” She sent the meeting details to Justin with a huff. Af

The heirs are the pivotal next generation who determine the future and development of a prominent family.Helen lowered her head, staring silently at the pillow in her arms. After a moment, she asked, “So… you’re saying it doesn’t matter if they meet?” Haley’s brows furrowed, her voice sinking. “Did Justin see Alex?” “No, no,” Helen quickly denied, shaking her head. “I’m just speaking hypothetically. I mean, we’re in Lincourt City now, and you know—better safe than sorry.” “Good, as long as they didn’t meet,” Haley replied, finishing the last sip of wine in her glass. The alcohol had left her slightly tipsy. “It’s getting late. I’m heading to bed. You should rest soon too.” She placed her glass on the coffee table and stood up. “Yeah, yeah, don’t worry about me. Goodnight, Haley,” Helen said, waving her hand. Once Haley left, Helen let out a heavy sigh, smacking herself lightly on the forehead. “Why did I have to go out for coffee that day? If I had waited a little l

“Hmm,” Haley responded lightly, sensing an odd tension between Alex and Helen. They had probably been bickering again. “Alex, it’s time for bed. It’s past nine. Kids shouldn’t stay up late.” “I’m coming, Mom!” Alex quickly wriggled free from Helen’s clutches and dashed up the stairs, grabbing Haley’s hand and looking up at her with pleading eyes. “Mom, will you sleep with me tonight?” He was worried that as soon as his mom left, his aunt would come after him for revenge. “Sure,” Haley said with a smile. It wasn’t often Alex asked her to sleep with him. Maybe the unfamiliar environment was making him uneasy. Haley and Alex disappeared down the hallway on the second floor. Helen watched them go and smirked. “Lucky little guy. You escaped this time,” she silently remarked.She leaned back on the couch, resuming her drama. Alex’s room was spacious, with a bed much larger than the small one he had back in Merika State. It was more than enough for both him and Haley. Climb

The sound of footsteps approached, and Alex turned around. “Mom.” “Hmm. Let me dry your hair first. You can watch more after I’m done,” Haley said as she muted the TV. Alex obediently sat still, watching the now-silent drama while his mom dried his hair. With his short hair, it didn’t take long. Once she finished, Haley put the hairdryer away and noticed a bag of snacks on the coffee table. She reminded him, “Only one bag, okay? Eating too much at night can upset your stomach. Don’t forget to brush your teeth before bed.” “Got it, Mom,” Alex replied. Seeing him behave so well, Haley headed back to her room to take a shower. Not long after Haley went upstairs, Helen came down with a face mask on. She noticed the TV playing the drama she had recommended and walked over to sit on the couch, rubbing serum from the mask into her hands. “Still watching it, Alex? What do you think of the show I recommended? Isn’t it sweet?” “Sweet? Can a TV show be sweet?” Alex tilted

“Alex, you’re amazing!” Helen exclaimed, pinching his chubby cheeks. She had never managed to win anything from claw machines, but Alex was incredibly skilled at shooting games. With his natural talent and the specialized training he had received, his accuracy wasn’t perfect, but it was impressively high. Proudly, Alex tilted his small head upward, looking absolutely adorable. “Great job!” Haley chimed in, pulling a wet wipe from her bag to clean the sweat off Alex’s face and forehead. After leaving the mall, the group headed to the university town where Helen had attended college years ago. The restaurant they had been reminiscing about was still there, as popular as ever. They booked two private rooms—one for the three of them and another for the bodyguards. Since Alex was with them, they ordered a mild broth for him, while the sisters enjoyed their spicy hot pot. They also added some grilled skewers to the meal and grabbed milk tea from the shop next door.Alex to

If it had been the Emily from five years ago, she would have immediately recognized this man. He was the one who had bumped into her twice in the hospital corridor. Emma took the camera and reviewed the photos, eventually selecting two. One showed her and Justin facing each other in a way that looked vaguely intimate, while the other captured Justin with his back to the camera, entering the villa as Emma followed closely behind. “These two,” she said, handing the camera back. “Write it up like before, but make it even more misleading this time.” “Understood,” the man replied. The black car drove away. *Justin pushed open the door to his home. Mrs. Zimmer had already instructed the staff to prepare breakfast, and the timing was perfect. “Mr. Yates, you’re back. Quick, wash your hands and eat. The food abroad must not suit your taste, right?” Mrs. Zimmer’s keen eyes noticed that he looked thinner after his business trip. “Nothing’s as good as your cooking, Mrs. Zim
