After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 189
When Justin arrived at the hospital, Emma was already bandaged and propped up against the bed, looking pale and weak. Her parents were in the room, keeping her company.After a quick knock, he entered.“Justin, you’re here,” Emma said softly, her face lighting up faintly at the sight of him despite her lack of color.Emma’s parents turned at the sound of his voice. Her father remained composed, though there was a flicker of discontent in his eyes. Sally, however, let out an audible scoff.“Hmph! A big-shot CEO like you must be so busy! We had to call you to get you here. My daughter saved your life, and after finally being found, you’ve nearly cost her hers. Truly ungrateful!”Emma frowned, looking distressed. “Mom, please stop. It’s not Justin’s fault. It was my own carelessness.”“And you still defend him, even after everything he’s done to you?” Sally scolded, though her glare remained fixed on Justin.At that moment, Zac entered the room, having heard that Justin had returne

Zac did indeed have a classmate who was a psychologist and wasted no time in making the arrangements.With that settled, Justin headed toward the airport, making his way through the hospital's first-floor lobby. His right eyelid wouldn’t stop twitching, the involuntary movement heightening the sense of unease that had been gnawing at him.Emma’s situation was handled, but now his thoughts shifted to Emily, far away in Ramsdale. What if she used this chance to run away? The possibility gnawed at him, and he regretted not bringing her along.Stopping in his tracks, Justin dialed the bodyguards assigned to protect Emily. The phone rang for a long time without anyone picking up. Just then, another phone in his pocket buzzed. It was Emily’s.During the flight back, curiosity had gotten the better of him, and he had powered on her phone to try to understand her better. He hung up his call and answered hers.“Hello, this is Alexander Hospital. May I speak with Miss Emily Yates?” Jus
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 191
The world spun, and a piercing, high-pitched ringing echoed in Justin’s ears. An earthquake in Kentville County. The epicenter was at a hot spring hotel— the hotel where Emily was staying. No, she couldn’t be there. He had arranged for her to go sightseeing today. She should be outside, away from the hotel. Clinging to a sliver of hope, Justin tried to steady his breathing. “William, Sam, get ready. We’re heading to the airport now. We need to fly to Ramsdale immediately!” Justin’s voice trembled, and before he could take another step, the room spun again. His vision darkened, and he stumbled sideways. “Mr. Yates!” William and Sam rushed to catch him, their faces etched with worry. At the airport, Justin’s hands were trembling as he frantically redialed numbers, trying to reach someone—anyone. Sam returned from speaking with airport staff and hesitated before opening the VIP lounge door. “Mr. Yates, due to the earthquake in Kentville County, all flights to

“What do you mean I’m overreacting?” Sally snapped, her gaze sweeping the hospital room. Not seeing Justin, her expression darkened with irritation. “Where’s Justin? Has he left again? What’s wrong with him? My daughter lost her child because of him, and instead of staying by her side, he just runs off?” Joe Xander, her husband, frowned, unwilling to hear her endless complaints. “Enough, Sally. Stop nagging. He’s a CEO. It’s normal for him to be busy with work.” “What work? Why are you defending him?” Sally shot him a glare before resuming her tirade. “I’m just trying to make him take responsibility for Emma. She got pregnant and lost the baby! Is he planning to just walk away without marrying her?” Turning her attention to Emma, Sally softened, her tone now filled with reassurance. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. Mom’s here, and I’ll make sure he takes responsibility for you.” *At the airport, news of the earthquake dominated every major outlet. Justin and his team stayed pu
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 193
Seven days passed, each one dragging like an eternity. The local government released a list of victims, and Emily Yates’s name stood out. No. It wasn’t possible. Emily couldn’t be dead. She was too clever, always scheming to escape him. She must have used his trip back home as an opportunity to flee the hotel—to flee from him. She couldn’t be dead. The list crumpled in his trembling hands, veins bulging across his knuckles as his grip tightened. Lowering his head, Justin took a deep breath, trying to steady himself. When he raised it again, his eyes were bloodshot, fury and despair swirling within. He ripped the paper into shreds, tossing it aside. “Keep searching,” Justin rasped, his voice raw yet resolute. “Sam, get more rescue teams. I don’t care what it costs—keep looking. Dig up every inch of this place if you have to, but find her!” “Justin,” Zac stepped forward, worry etched on his face. Justin had barely eaten or slept in the past week. He had lost weigh

Before Emma could finish her words, Justin interrupted her with a cold and decisive tone. “You’re not well. I’ll arrange for someone to take you back.” Emma couldn’t stay. If he found Emily and she saw Emma here, she would be furious. She might even get jealous. When Emily returned, he vowed he would never upset her again. Pregnant women shouldn’t be agitated or angry—he had read that somewhere. No, even after she gave birth, he would never do anything to make her unhappy again. If she didn’t want bodyguards following her, he would stop arranging them. If she wanted to get married, they would get their marriage license. If she wanted to work as an artist, he would support her with everything he had. Whatever she wanted, he would give it to her. He wouldn’t be the overbearing, controlling man he used to be. “Justin…” Emma tried again, unwilling to leave, but Justin cut her off. “William, see her out,” he barked toward the door. William entered promptly. “Miss Xan

After returning to his company, Justin quickly resumed work, pouring himself into his responsibilities. Yet, every evening, without fail, he would check in on the rescue progress in Ramsdale. The search team in Ramsdale was baffled by the persistence. It had been over a month since the earthquake.By now, anyone trapped would have either perished from injuries or succumbed to hunger and dehydration. Survival was impossible. But they had no complaints. Justin was paying generously, so they kept searching. News spreads fast, and Emily’s fate in Ramsdale was no secret within RC Corporation. The earthquake had dominated the headlines, with daily updates and reports, especially after Justin left the company unattended for over a month to personally lead the search. Office gossip thrived in the wake of such drama. “Do you think Mr. Yates liked Emily more or Emma?” one employee asked. “I used to think Emma was his girlfriend, but then he spent a whole month searching for Emily be
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 196
After finishing his work for the day, Justin returned home from the office and, as always, checked in on the search-and-rescue efforts.He sat in his study late into the night, unable to bring himself to enter the bedroom. The room was steeped in Emily’s presence, but the bed was empty. It was just him now, alone.*Four months later, across the globe, in Merika State, the warm sun lit up the sprawling gardens of a castle estate. Emily and Helen were enjoying an afternoon tea on the lawn, utterly relaxed. Back in Ramsdale, after setting up a decoy of herself sleeping in bed, Emily had climbed into the cart Helen had prepared. The two had quietly escaped via helicopter, leaving the hotel just before disaster struck. It wasn’t until they landed in Merika State that Emily learned about the earthquake that devastated the hotel. A plan to flee had accidentally turned into a way to fake her death. Now that Justin believed she was dead, he likely wouldn’t come looking for her.

Justin knew that the moment he pushed open this door, every doubt he had—all the questions swirling in his mind—would finally have an answer. And yet, he hesitated. He couldn’t bring himself to open it. The bodyguard standing at the door, noticing his hesitation, reached for the handle to open it for him. Justin instinctively raised a hand to stop him, then motioned for them to step aside. The bodyguards exchanged uncertain glances, unsure whether to follow his command. After a brief pause, they finally stepped away from the door. Justin had been at the hospital long enough. They knew he meant no harm to Haley. Inside the room, Chase carefully placed the fruit basket and bouquet on the bedside table, then pulled a tissue from his pocket. He wrapped the strands of hair he had collected and tucked them securely into his backpack. Alex had already set his things down. Now, he stood quietly by the bed, watching his mom sleep. Chase walked over, and Alex turned

Justin glanced back down the hallway. Hadn’t Alex just walked away? Then who was this? Chase blinked, recalling how Alex usually reacted when he saw an adult he liked. Got it. With his arms full—a bouquet in one hand, a fruit basket in the other, and a backpack strapped to his back—he launched himself forward like a little cannonball, sprinting toward Justin. “Uncle Justin!” he called out in an enthusiastic, high-pitched voice, deliberately mimicking Alex’s tone. Justin crouched down to catch him, his arms wrapping around the small boy. He didn’t lift him up, though—Chase was carrying too many things. His sharp gaze swept over ‘Alex’ from head to toe. Same outfit. Same backpack. The only difference? This ‘Alex’ had his hands full. “Alex, what are you doing at the hospital? Did you come here alone?” The same question, asked twice in one day. ‘Alex’ shook his head, giving almost the same answer. “Nope, I came with Mommy.” “Oh…” Justin responded, waiting f

Justin walked up to the elevator and pressed the button for the upper floors, waiting as the numbers on the display steadily climbed.The elevator ascended floor by floor, the digits flickering until it reached the VIP inpatient ward.With a soft ding, the doors slid open.Inside, a small figure stood patiently, a backpack neatly strapped to his back.As soon as the doors parted, Alex stepped out first.Justin was about to step in when—Wait.Alex looked up. Then up again.His tiny hands rubbed his eyes as if making sure he wasn’t seeing things.“Uncle Justin!”His face lit up with excitement as he threw his arms wide and practically launched himself into Justin’s embrace. “Uncle Justin, what are you doing here?” Justin had already crouched down the second the doors opened, instinctively ready to catch him. “Alex?”Alex wrapped his arms around Justin’s neck, nuzzling against him like a kitten. “I missed you so much!”For Alex, coming to see his mom and running into

At their young age, Chase and Alex didn’t really know much about leftovers. All they knew was that they couldn’t show up empty-handed when visiting their mom. With their lunchboxes carefully packed, the two little boys tiptoed upstairs to their room. They pulled out their pre-packed backpacks and stuffed the food inside. Of course, they didn’t forget to slip in a couple of their favorite snacks. This was the highest form of etiquette they could think of. Mom and Grandma always said that eating well helped build strength and recover faster when sick. Opening the back window of their bedroom, they each secured a safety rope around their waists, fastening the other end to the bed frame. The ropes were custom-designed by their family’s company, tested to support hundreds of kilograms. Evelyn, had used the same kind of gear during her missions. If it could hold an adult’s weight under extreme conditions, carrying two little boys was nothing. Carefully, they gripped t

Justin turned and headed downstairs, making his way toward the garden in search of Haley. It didn’t take long before he spotted her under the grapevine trellis, walking with a noticeable limp. And right beside her was Sean. The two were deep in conversation, laughing and smiling. Though he couldn’t quite make out what Sean was saying, whatever it was had Haley grinning even wider, her laughter carrying across the warm summer air and reaching his ears. Despite the scorching heat, Justin’s gaze remained ice-cold. He stood there, exuding an unsettling chill, like a walking refrigerator in the middle of summer. His steps were firm as he moved forward, fully intent on interrupting their little moment. But before he could close the distance, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Haley was starting to feel drained. The sun was relentless, and even in the shade, the air felt thick and warm. “I think I’ve walked enough. My stomach doesn’t feel so full anymore. Let’s head

Outside the restaurant, Justin dismissed his subordinates, sending them back to work. He remained by the roadside, pulling out his phone to call Haley.She hadn’t responded to his messages. Fine.If she wouldn’t text back, then he would just call her instead.He dialed twice, but both times, the call rang unanswered.Frowning, he got into the car, his persistence kicking in. He kept calling again and again, stubbornly waiting for her to tell him to come home. It became a battle with himself, a childish need to hear her say it. Finally, after multiple attempts, on what he swore would be his last try, the call was answered. “Hello?” Haley’s indifferent tone came through the receiver. Justin’s voice was full of grievance. “Did you even see my messages?” He had seen firsthand how glued she was to her phone when he was with her. No way she hadn’t seen them. “Yeah, I saw them.” Haley responded matter-of-factly. Justin pressed on, “Then why didn’t you call me? Why

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
