After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 152
At 8:30 a.m., Mrs. Zimmer arrived on time with breakfast. She brought all of Emily’s favorite dishes. As Justin ate, his expression remained dark. Mrs. Zimmer wondered if the breakfast wasn’t to his taste, but there was no way to redo it in the hospital. She decided to let him make do without saying much.After breakfast, the doctor came in for a check-up. Emily was recovering well, and Justin finally agreed to discharge her. He wasn’t worried about her physical injuries but about her mental state. The last time he had rescued her by the sea, her emotional state had been unstable after returning home. She had been prone to anxiety and nightmares. That was why he insisted she stay in the hospital a few extra days for observation. But since she had slept soundly last night, he figured she was doing fine now. Justin dressed in his suit and left for work. With his approval, Mrs. Zimmer began packing Emily’s belongings. Once everything was ready, she could finally go home. Mrs

At the airport, Evelyn held both Emily’s and Helen’s hands, placing them together with a meaningful expression. “Helen, take good care of Emily for me,” she said sincerely. Helen nodded firmly. “Don’t worry, Mom. I will.” Emily was taken aback and confused. It wasn’t until Evelyn and Richard boarded their flight that she had a chance to ask Helen about it. Waving her finger dismissively, Helen replied, “Don’t ask. If you must know, it’s fate. My mom thinks she has a special connection with you.” *At lunchtime, Emily and Helen went out of their way to a university district to eat at a famous spicy fish restaurant. In the afternoon, they hit the mall, buying a few things they liked. Helen was especially excited, indulging in quite a bit of shopping thanks to the generous amount of money her mom had given her before leaving. It was a fun day, with the only annoyance being the two bodyguards trailing behind them. But Helen made sure they weren’t following for nothing. S
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 154
Emma had always been frail and malnourished, so her sudden collapse raised concerns about potential health issues. Justin felt a mix of worry, gratitude, and guilt toward her. However, the spark he had felt at first sight when she saved him back then was long gone. He knew he couldn’t marry her, but he also didn’t want anything bad to happen to her. Sometimes he wondered if things might have been different. What if, back in college, he hadn’t recognized Emma and had instead met Emily by the seaside, would he have mistaken Emily for the one who saved him in Merika State?After all, the two looked so much alike. Shaking his head, he pushed the thought away. Emma had risked her life to save him during that critical moment. How could he misplace his gratitude and project it onto someone else? Emma had already endured so much hardship. He owed her far too much. *After Justin took Emma out of the meeting room, the meeting naturally couldn’t continue. Fortunately, the most

At that moment, a patient passed through the hallway where they were standing. Zac lowered his voice and questioned, “Didn’t you already decide to break things off with Emma and be with Emily?”“I’ll handle it. Emily won’t find out,” Justin replied coldly.*Dinner was already prepared, and by this time, Justin should have been home. Yet, he was nowhere to be seen. Remembering the last time this happened, Emily didn’t bother waiting. She immediately called both Justin and Sam, but neither of them picked up. She frowned, her gaze thoughtful. Could something have happened? Scrolling through her contacts, she called William next, but his phone also went unanswered. Putting her phone away, Emily considered her options. Even if Justin really had an accident, she wouldn’t be able to mobilize any help. She might as well eat dinner first. She was starving after an afternoon of shopping with Helen. She briefly thought about going out to eat with Helen but decided against it sin

Justin didn’t reach out to wipe away her tears. Instead, he stood coldly at the bedside, maintaining a deliberate distance—neither too close nor too far. In a low, steady voice, he said, “I’ll have Zac arrange the procedure. You just need to stay here and rest.” Emma lowered her gaze, her long lashes casting shadows that hid the glimmer of cold calculation in her eyes. Even though the child belonged to Jacob, and she had never planned to keep it, hearing Justin say he didn’t want the baby still felt like a loss to her.However, Emma wasn’t ready to give up. She had yet to secure the status and wealth she wanted. How could she accept failure now? The child would be aborted, but it wouldn’t be done quietly or without notice. Yet, on the surface, she remained the picture of docility, nodding meekly with an air of sorrow. “I’ll follow whatever you decide, Justin,” she said softly. Seeing her this way, Justin felt a pang of guilt. But the child was an accident and it coul
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 157
In the morning, Justin headed to work as usual. His cold, chiseled features and perfectly styled hair showed no trace of the alcohol he had consumed the night before. The morning unfolded as it always did. After Emily tied his tie and watched him leave in the car, she finally picked up her phone, which had been buzzing non-stop. As expected, there were a ton of messages from Helen. Helen complained about her frustrating evening. Not only had she missed having dinner with Emily, but she hadn’t even been able to meet up with Zac. Casually, she also asked whether Justin had come home the previous night. Although she disliked Justin for suddenly bringing Emma into the picture and betraying Emily, she didn’t hate him to the point of wanting him dead. Emily glanced at her phone, recalling that Justin had indeed come home, though she didn’t know exactly when. She vaguely remembered catching a faint whiff of alcohol in the middle of the night, which likely meant he had been out

The past couple of days had been hectic for Zac after being handed responsibility for two more hospitals by his father. The increased workload left him little time, even for his secret dates with Helen. “Emma’s been throwing up. I thought something was wrong with her, so I came to check,” Justin explained. Zac, still absorbed in his reports, waved it off. “It’s just morning sickness. Every pregnant woman goes through it. It’s nothing serious. She won’t be throwing up for long anyway.” After all, she would be having the abortion soon, and the nausea would stop then. At 27, Zac had been single his whole life, reserving his heart solely for Helen. Other than worrying about Helen when she might be pregnant someday, no other woman meant much to him. Well, except for Emily. She was Helen’s best friend and had earned his respect over the years. Unlike Emma, who always came across as fake, Emily was genuine and straightforward. To Zac, the only reason Justin even paid attenti

Emma reminisced, speaking softly. “The first time we met was on a tree-lined path at university. It was a day just as bright and beautiful as today. I had just finished class and was heading back to my dorm. Suddenly, you ran up to me, smiling, and asked if I remembered you— the person I saved that night at the corner of a bar in Merika State.”As she spoke, Emma suddenly laughed at the memory. “I told you it was just a casual act of kindness, nothing worth remembering, but you were so nervous you actually started sweating.” “Yeah,” Justin replied, recalling that day. He had been so excited to approach her, only to realize that what had stayed in his heart for years was something she had barely thought about. She continued, sharing more fragmented memories from their university days. Justin walked beside her in silence, listening. Her words brought back vivid images, replaying the past in his mind. Each moment deepened his guilt and self-reproach. As Emma spoke animatedly, sh

Haley shook her head quickly, flustered. “No… I mean—no.” Then she realized how that sounded and corrected herself. “Actually, yes. I’m just hot.”Helen blinked in confusion. “Hot? The classroom has air conditioning. Was the sunlight from the window hitting her seat?” Helen wondered.Without missing a beat, she rushed over and tugged the curtains tighter, making sure her bestie didn’t get “sunburned.” She still needed Haley to hold onto that top spot. Otherwise, she would lose her excuse at home for going out to “study” with Zac.The pressure and tension of senior year finally came to a close. On the day of the college entrance exam, when everyone stepped out of the test hall for the last time, their faces lit up with genuine smiles—relaxed, free, and full of relief.Haley tossed aside her textbooks. Her summer break was filled with makeup shopping trips with Helen or third-wheeling her and Zac on their study-dates-turned-real-dates.That routine came to an end the d

Haley’s eyes shifted as she thought quickly. “But… I don’t really like guys who rank higher than me on exams.”She gave a light shrug and continued, “I mean, I think we should be focusing on school right now. Relationships can wait until after we get into college, right? What if we don’t even end up at the same school? Long-distance never works, and after a while, we’d probably drift apart. Don’t you think?”Was that a gentle rejection? It seemed like it. Haley wondered if she had been too blunt. Had she left him any dignity at all?They still had a whole year of high school left together. She didn’t want things to get awkward between them. A harsh rejection would only make everything more uncomfortable.Justin furrowed his brows, thinking for a long moment before giving a single reply. “Okay.”Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked off.Haley stood there, completely confused.“Okay? What did he mean by that?“Did he understand what I was trying to say?

Emma and her little clique of schoolyard mean girls had Justin completely surrounded.“I’ll ask you one more time,” she said, smug and unbothered. “Will you be my boyfriend or not?”“No,” Justin replied coldly, his face unreadable.“Hey!” one of Emma’s loyal followers stepped forward, cracking her knuckles and getting way too close. “Do you even know who our Emma is? She’s the heiress of the Xander Corporation. She’s giving you a chance, and you should be grateful. You better say yes.”“What, you want us to beat you up before you agree?” another girl sneered.Justin didn’t flinch. His icy stare locked onto the girl who spoke, completely unbothered by the threat.Emma waved a hand to hold her crew back, pretending to be generous. Then she turned to Justin again, cocky and bold.“I like you way too much to have anyone rough you up,” she said sweetly. “But I heard you’re trying to get into Altiplano University in the capital. Here’s the deal—if you go out with me, I’ll have my dad

As soon as Justin sat down and pulled out the textbook for the next class, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him.“Hey, I’m Zac White,” Zac said.Justin glanced up with a cold look, then went right back to pulling out his notebook and pen—completely ignoring the extended hand.Zac awkwardly pulled his hand back, speechless.“Man… this guy’s seriously cold. What a show-off,” he thought to himself.The class flew by. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Haley and Helen linked arms and headed off toward the bathroom. Zac immediately trailed after them.“Where are you two going? Take me with you.”“You planning on going into the girls’ bathroom, you perv?” Helen smacked his hand away, not wanting their classmates—or worse, their teacher—to get any ideas about the two of them dating.Zac scratched his nose. “Fine, I won’t go in the girls’ room… but I can go to the guys’ one, can’t I?”“Hmph!” Helen huffed, scrunching her nose playfully.Zac clutched his chest

At a top-ranked high school in Lincourt City, the bell rang.Students still lingering in the hallways or restrooms were urged to hurry back to class.Outside, the summer heat simmered, accompanied by the steady buzz of cicadas. Inside, the air-conditioned classrooms offered a much more comfortable escape.In Class 2–1 of the junior year, students hurried back to their seats. Just as the final chime faded, the homeroom teacher walked in, holding a stack of freshly graded exam papers.“For this round of mock exams,” she announced, loud and clear, “the top score in the entire grade once again goes to our very own Haley!”A wave of murmurs and applause followed. “Let’s all work hard and try to catch up to her next time!”She began handing out the papers in order, from the highest score to the lowest.After Haley got her paper, the next few went to her seatmate, Helen, and the student sitting behind them—Zac.“Work hard and catch up?” Helen muttered as she slid back into her seat, s

But what did it matter, even if she still loved him? The pain he caused her in the past was still there, lingering beneath the surface.They had loved, they had hurt, they had been entangled for years. But not every love story had to end with forgiveness and reconciliation.Haley couldn’t pretend the past hadn’t happened. She couldn’t smile and pick up where they left off, as if nothing had ever gone wrong.She would always remember that street in Merika State, when Justin turned away, picked Emma up in his arms, and left her standing there alone.Even if he had mistaken someone else for her, the pain he caused and the love he failed to give were real.And that wasn’t something she could ever forget.She could make peace with the past, but she could never erase it.Her heart ached, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned and walked away.*Years later, Haley passed away peacefully in her bedroom at the estate.That same day, Justin had gone out to the grocer

It was just a shame that life rarely worked out the way people wanted it to.*Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Chase and Alex had grown taller and older. Haley’s once-small jewelry brand had not only found its place in the industry—it had grown into a globally recognized luxury label, known for bespoke, high-end pieces.As for Justin, he split his time between Haven State and Merika State. Whenever he wasn’t busy, he would shamelessly camp out at the estate, claiming he was just there to “see the kids.”Eventually, no one even bothered to call him out on it anymore.One day, Haley had a business meeting with a potential partner—a widowed single father. Somehow, Justin caught wind of a rumor that the man had feelings for Haley and was actively pursuing her. Word had it that she was interested too, and they were currently having dinner together at a restaurant.The second Justin heard that, he canceled a company meeting, boarded his private jet, and flew straight to Mer

As soon as Haley stepped into the room, Justin followed right behind her.It was the first time he had ever set foot in Haley’s room—the space where she lived in Merika State.“Get out!” she snapped.“Haley, I just wanted to see you. Please don’t make me leave, okay?”His eyes scanned the room. The walls, the shelves—everything was filled with Haley’s photos. There was even a custom-built glass display case, clearly made with love, housing her pictures from childhood to adulthood. It was something Evelyn had put together just for her, and it overflowed with affection.There were portraits of her alone, family pictures, and right at the top—photos of Chase and Alex.Justin looked at each one carefully, as if he were trying to piece together a life he hadn’t been part of, but desperately wished he had been.Then his gaze landed on a particular photo: Haley in her teens, wearing a soft pink-and-white hoodie with little bunny ears on the hood. Her pale skin, big round eyes, and brig

“Haley…” Justin’s voice was weak. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didn’t even know where to start.“I heard you’re sick?” Haley said.“I… I’m fine. I’m not really sick, I just—”“Take care of yourself. Heart problems aren’t like other illnesses. Just look forward. Let go of the past. Meet someone new. Live your life.”Justin fell silent. His head dropped, and the phone pressed against his ear was clenched so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white. He wrestled with the words for a long moment before finally managing to force out.“Okay.”But he knew. He wouldn’t meet someone new. Without Haley, what kind of life could he possibly call “living”?The call ended. Life went back to its quiet rhythm. Justin no longer clung to Haley or tried to find her. After one more day in the hospital, he threw himself back into work and took over the reins of RC Corporation.They had truly managed to part on peaceful terms.After returning to Merika State, Haley d
