Helen couldn’t hear what was said inside the room, but when she saw Emily push the door open and leave, she quickly ran after her. Knowing Emily’s personality, there was no way she would apologize to someone like Emma. The door slammed shut behind Emily. Inside the room, Justin apologized on Emily’s behalf. “I’m sorry. This is my fault for not keeping her in line. I’ll make sure she apologizes to you.” Emma smiled weakly and shook her head. “Justin, it’s really not your fault. As long as you and Emily are happy together, I’ll be happy too.” Of course, she was thrilled. The tension between them was exactly what she wanted. Seeing Emma’s pale face and her forced strength, Justin felt an even deeper sense of guilt. The idea of sending her to a branch office after she recovered no longer felt appropriate. He couldn’t bring himself to suggest it now. *Helen finally caught up to Emily by the garden. To her surprise, Sean was already there. The bodyguards had appa

“How did I find out? Of course, I saw it on my phone. The video has already gone viral online. If you don’t have the heart to deal with it, I’ll be the bad guy. I’m already at the hospital, and I’m going to find her now.” Heidi hung up in a rush as she entered the hospital, determined to locate Emma’s room. Being a private hospital, combined with the Yates family’s connections, Emma’s room wasn’t hard to find. Heidi stormed into the elevator heading to the VIP floor, her energy radiating indignation. Justin, already overwhelmed, didn’t want his mother adding fuel to the fire. He immediately instructed his bodyguards to intercept her and send her back home. Heidi had just stepped onto the VIP floor when she was stopped by the bodyguards and forcibly escorted back to the Yates family estate before she could find Emma. Justin’s expression was icy as he stared at the video now circulating online. Judging by the angle, it had been filmed by a patient at the hospital and uploaded
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 170
Justin was convinced that Emily had pushed Emma, and the bodyguards, not instructed to investigate further, stayed silent. To them, Emma, being someone recognized by their boss, wasn’t seen as a threat that needed any special monitoring.Frustrated, Justin waved a hand to dismiss William. He concluded that Emily’s visit to the hospital was purely coincidental. She couldn’t have known about Emma’s pregnancy, as Emma wouldn’t have told her. He believed Emily had acted out of jealousy, gotten into an argument with Emma, and pushed her. Emma’s fragile health, combined with the fall, resulted in her miscarriage.Meanwhile, Richard had just finished bypassing the internet firewall when Evelyn, who kept a constant watch over Emily, stumbled upon the news from Haven State. The eldest daughter she had cherished for years—someone she couldn’t bring herself to criticize—was now being publicly shamed online. The video didn’t capture Emily pushing anyone. It only showed Emma crying dra

Helen pocketed her phone and returned just as Emily was getting ready to leave. “I’ll take you home,” Sean offered, stepping forward. Before Emily could respond, the bodyguards who had been called away earlier reappeared, stepping between him and Emily. “Mr. Smith, please don’t make things difficult for us,” one of them said politely but firmly. Justin had just given strict orders that Sean was not to have any contact with Emily. The bodyguards had been called away by William for questioning and, during that time, they did not notice Sean returning to the hospital to find Emily.Sean’s face flushed with anger, his fists clenching tightly. “It’s fine,” Emily said, breaking the tension. “I drove here. I can get back on my own.” The group of four walked off in the opposite direction, leaving Sean standing in place, watching Emily as she left. His hands clenched into tight fists. “I’m still not strong enough,” he thought bitterly. “If I were, she wouldn’t be taken fro

“But even after you cruelly caused my miscarriage, Justin still hasn’t given up on you. What else can I come up with to make you disappear for good?”Lost in her plotting, Emma didn’t notice the door to her hospital room opening until the crisp sound of it closing pulled her back to reality. She quickly masked her expression with an innocent look. “Justin, you’re here,” Emma said, tilting her head to glance back at him. “Where’s Emily? How is she? You know how girls can be—little moods and tempers are just part of being in love. You should try to comfort her more.”Justin didn’t respond, brushing off her attempt to bring up Emily. Instead, he redirected the conversation. “How’s your condition?” Emma naturally tucked her phone away. “The doctor just came by to check on me. Everything seems fine. As long as I take care of myself, I can get discharged and return to work soon.” “Good.” He gave a brief nod. Seeing she was in stable condition, Justin didn’t linger. After a quic

Hearing this, Emma’s expression shifted slightly for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, flashing a warm smile. “Mrs. Adams just brought me lunch. I can’t finish it all myself, and it’s almost time to eat. Why don’t you join me, Justin?” she said with a hint of expectation. Justin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he considered her suggestion. After a brief pause, he replied, “I’ll pass. I’ve got to get back. There’s a meeting at the office I need to attend.” Their current relationship didn’t make staying for a meal appropriate. “You’re always so busy,” Emma said with a touch of guilt in her voice, lowering her head slightly. “I’d once thought working at the company might let me help you, but in the end, I’ve been no help at all.” Justin frowned slightly. “Don’t overthink it. Just focus on recovering. I’ll be going now.” Seeing she wasn’t in as serious a condition as the phone call had made it seem, Justin gave a quick goodbye and left the hospital room. As

The pain was excruciating. Clutching her lower abdomen with one hand, Emily used her right hand to call Helen. She didn’t alert anyone else, not even Mrs. Zimmer. From the moment she found out she was pregnant, Emily never had any intention of telling Justin, whether she decided to keep the babies or not. Even after attempting to terminate the pregnancy twice, the babies remained. It was only after her harrowing kidnapping by Jack that she resolved to keep the babies. Over time, as her pregnancy progressed, she developed a deep attachment to her babies. Now, the thought of losing them was unbearable. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she curled up on her bedroom’s large bed, wracked with fear that she might suffer a miscarriage like Emma had. Helen rushed over as soon as she got the call and found Emily in the bedroom. Not long after, “Helen,” wearing a hat, was seen leaving One Villa. The bodyguards stationed outside didn’t stop or question “Helen” as she exited.

She took one last, lingering look at the ultrasound photo, then snapped a picture of it with her phone and sent it to Helen. Afterward, she deleted the photo, the chat history with Helen, and even cleared the deleted items folder, leaving no trace behind. She then meticulously used her phone's cleaning app to erase every trace, leaving no evidence behind. Justin could unlock her phone and he had done it before when he went on a business trip. Back then, he had deleted Sean’s contact and added his own. Luckily, she had just gotten a new phone at the time, so there hadn’t been much for him to snoop through. There was no way she could let Justin find out she was pregnant. She didn’t even want to imagine the consequences. Ripping up all her medical records, she threw the pieces into the trash. Then, heading to the parking lot, she got into her car and drove home. *Shortly after Justin left, the door to the hospital room swung open again. Thinking it was Justin, Emma look

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
