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

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

Emily smiled warmly. Having someone who cared about her felt so comforting. In a soft voice, she replied, “Alright, I’m not upset. I’ll listen to you.” After ending the call, Emily quietly wandered through the garden in her neighborhood.As usual, two bodyguards followed closely behind. Annoyed, she turned to them and said, “Can’t you stop following me? No one’s going to kidnap me here in the neighborhood.” The two bodyguards exchanged glances. “Sorry, Miss Yates, it’s the boss’s orders. This is our job. We hope you understand.” She let out a heavy sigh before driving out of the neighborhood herself. Refusing to let the bodyguards drive, she took the wheel. By the time the car came to a stop, she found herself parked outside Lichfield Hospital. Emily stared at the hospital entrance, hesitating for a long time before finally stepping out and heading inside. One bodyguard stayed behind to park the car, while the other followed her at a distance. Eventually, Emily

A glint of malice flashed in Emma’s eyes. She didn’t believe for a second that Emily would remain unaffected after everything she had said. After all, Emily had read her message and even come to the hospital. It clearly meant she cared, didn’t it? Emma’s sole purpose was to provoke her, and she was doing it deliberately. “They’re getting married, and Justin still can’t leave me alone. He even lied about going on a business trip. What’s the point of this? He already has Emma pregnant, yet he still won’t let me go. Is he not worried that his so-called “true love” might get jealous?” Emily thought.“Is that so? Well, congratulations on your upcoming wedding,” Emily said, her voice flat as she rose to leave, exhaustion written all over her.Emma’s eyes flickered with surprise. She wasn’t angry? She wasn’t going to lash out or fight back? “If she doesn’t react, how am I supposed to carry on with this performance?” Emma thought.A sharp pain radiated through Emma’s lower abdom

Justin lifted his glass and offered a toast to the chairman. “A toast—no wine, just a drink—to celebrate your wonderful family.”His words were warm, but there was a faint bitterness in his eyes. He had once been so close to having that kind of happiness—just one step away. If things had been different, he too would have a wife by his side, a home filled with laughter, and children to go home to.The chairman smiled, lifting his own glass as they clinked them together. After that, they shifted back to business, finalizing contract details and discussing future development plans. By the time lunch was wrapping up, the chairman’s phone rang—it was his wife. Since there were no outsiders in the room, he answered directly. “Hey, honey.” “Are you done with the contract talks? And don’t drink at lunch—you have fatty liver. The doctor said you should avoid alcohol as much as possible. If there’s a social event, let your team handle it instead.“If you really can’t a

The cool mist of the medicine sprayed onto Haley’s ankle, making her instinctively pull back. Justin tightened his grip, refusing to let go until he was satisfied that he had applied enough. Only then did he release her foot. “If you’re injured, stop moving around so much.” “Justin Yates, could you please figure out your place here? I don’t need you to apply the medicine, and you definitely shouldn’t be sleeping in my bed!” “Got it. There won’t be a next time.” He casually promised there wouldn’t be a next time, making Haley huff in frustration. Arguing with someone who stayed so calm only made her feel like the unreasonable one. It was like throwing a punch, only to have it land on nothing but air.Annoyed, she shot Justin a sharp glare before hopping off the bed and limping toward the bathroom. Seeing her struggle, Justin instinctively stepped forward to help, but Haley swatted his hand away. She didn’t need his help. Neither of them brought up yesterda

Zac didn’t say anything, but Justin understood exactly what he meant. The call ended. Just as he put his phone away, William approached from across the underground parking garage, carrying a black plastic bag in his hand. “Mr. Yates, what do you want us to do with this hand?” “Get rid of it,” Justin replied, tilting his head back against the seat, his voice cold and emotionless. There was no trace of sentimentality for its former owner. “Understood,” William responded without hesitation. He handed the bag to two bodyguards and instructed them to dispose of it properly. Then, without a hint of blood on him, he got back in the car and drove Justin back to the hospital. Evelyn, Helen, and Zac had already left the hospital, leaving only Haley in the room. Instead of heading straight to her, Justin first stopped by Zac’s private lounge to take a shower. He scrubbed himself thoroughly, changed into fresh clothes, and made sure there was no trace of any lingering sc

Upstairs, the agonized screams echoed through the halls, but down in the underground parking garage, Justin heard nothing. He unlocked the car and got in. With William still upstairs handling things, Justin settled into the back seat, pulled out his phone, and dialed Zac. During those few short minutes descending from the upper floors, his mind had been racing. His mother, Heidi. Haley’s car accident. And then, his thoughts drifted further back—five years ago—when Haley had still been Emily. That incident at the hospital. The fight with Emma. A single fall had supposedly caused Emma’s miscarriage. But what about Haley? Back then, she had been pregnant when she was caught in an earthquake. What had she gone through? Haley had always avoided answering his question. What exactly had she gone through, all alone in Ramsdale? Every time Justin tried to think about it, a sharp pain throbbed in his head, as if his own mind were forcing him not to di

Emma knew Justin’s personality well. She could not admit that she had fallen on her own. If she did, Justin would make her pay for it. The miscarriage, her sudden disappearance on an overseas trip—all of it had been built on his guilt. She could not let him know that everything had happened by her own design. And then there was the debt he owed her—the time she had saved his life in Merika State. That was her shield. As long as that debt remained, Justin would always give her leeway. Even if he did not want to, he would still spare her life. She had no idea which woman had actually saved him that day, but she owed that mystery woman a thank-you. Because of her, Emma had been handed the perfect excuse. Justin’s dark eyes were terrifyingly calm, a storm raging beneath their surface. His grip on her chin shifted, his fingers now wrapping around her throat. “Did you have anything to do with my mother’s death? Was it you?!” His furious roar sent a c

Whether Evelyn said it or not, it wouldn’t change Haley’s decision.“You’ve suffered enough. But now that I’m here, no one will ever hurt you again. That includes Emma. And if anyone tries to protect her or stand in our way, it won’t change a thing.” Her last words were aimed directly at Zac—a clear warning. Even if Justin wanted to protect Emma, it wouldn’t matter. If it came down to it, their families could go head-to-head. Helen elbowed Zac and shot him a glare. “If you dare to side with Justin and defend Emma, then you can leave with them!”Zac immediately caught the underlying message from his mother-in-law and wasted no time swearing his loyalty. “I’m on your side. No question about it.” *At the hospital’s underground garage, Justin and William got into one car, while two bodyguards forced Emma into another.“Mmmph! Mmmph!” Even now, Emma refused to stay quiet. The cars drove straight to a property Justin had once bought for her. When they arrived,

“You—” Helen shot up from the bed, her face flushed with anger. She pointed a trembling finger at Emma, who was crying like a helpless victim. She was unbelievable. She could turn black into white with just a few tears and a sob story. Helen was so furious she couldn’t even find the right words to curse her. Instead, she turned to Justin, glaring at him. He wasn’t going to fall for her lies again, was he? Zac noticed his wife losing her composure and quickly tugged at the hem of her dress, signaling her to calm down and sit back down. Then Justin suddenly shifted his focus, his sharp gaze locking onto Emma. “Then who is Nadia Lawson?”Emma’s breath hitched.“Na… Nadia Lawson? I don’t know her!”She shook her head frantically, forcing herself to keep her gaze steady and not dart around.Nadia Lawson?!They had even uncovered that name?She couldn’t admit it.She had to deny everything.Nadia had been one of the people who escaped with her that night.But

Piece by piece, the evidence was laid out. How Emma had funneled money through laundering schemes into offshore accounts. The exact timestamps of each transaction. The amount transferred to the hired gunman. Even the text messages coordinating the hit. Every detail pointed directly to Emma. The evidence was undeniable. Justin had never imagined she was capable of something like this. The fragile, helpless image she had always portrayed was nothing more than a carefully crafted mask. He wasn’t a fool—he wouldn’t have held his position if he were. But that fleeting moment when she had saved his life, and the guilt of losing her overseas, had blinded him. Because of that, he had put her on a pedestal, convinced himself she was good. And that blindness had kept him from seeing just how ruthless she really was. Behind Justin, Zac was in complete shock. The level of calculation and deception Emma had displayed was something even they, as businessmen,

Even Haley looked at Evelyn in confusion. “The person who orchestrated the car accident and tried to kill my daughter has been identified.” Evelyn spoke calmly, watching everyone's reactions closely. “Justin, don’t you want to know who the culprit is?” Justin’s gaze sharpened. Of course, he wanted to know who was behind the attempt on Haley’s life.Emma’s body went rigid. She stopped crying and stopped making excuses. The grip on her handbag tightened, fingers clutching the chain with tension. Her eyelids fluttered slightly as she glanced warily at Evelyn. There was no way she could have found out. She had been meticulous. The money had gone through multiple layers of laundering, never directly moving through any domestic banks. Even RC Corporation’s own financial institutions showed no suspicious transactions. If Justin’s resources hadn’t uncovered anything after all this time, then Evelyn couldn’t have either. With that thought, Emma’s racing heart slowly set
