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.

Evelyn was finalizing the hospital delivery bag checklist with the newly hired postpartum nurse when her phone rang. It was Helen, calling to say that Emily was having contractions and seemed ready to deliver.Evelyn urgently called out to Richard, “Let's go! We need to get to Emily right away.”She turned to the postpartum nurse and instructed, “Grab the delivery bag and bring it to the car.”Richard carefully carried Emily to the car, with Helen and Evelyn following closely behind. Before leaving, Helen made sure to grab the bag where she had hidden her stash of spicy jerky and spicy broth seasoning.Richard took the driver’s seat, focusing on the road ahead. Helen, watching Emily struggle with the pain, anxiously urged him, "Drive faster!" “We’re going as fast as we can,” Richard assured her. A convoy of sleek black cars sped down the asphalt road, racing against time.Emily’s early labor had caught everyone off guard. Although the scene felt chaotic, all their prior prepa

The hospital room was nothing short of luxurious. Evelyn had ensured that an entire floor of the facility was cleared a month prior, with no other patients allowed in. Security was tight, with guards stationed at every access point. Inside, the room was equipped with a state-of-the-art climate control system, maintaining a perfect temperature. After being cleaned up post-delivery, Emily sat propped against the headboard, looking fresh and serene. Her gaze softened as she admired her two newborns. Her entire demeanor radiated maternal warmth. For the first time, she felt profoundly grateful that her previous attempts to terminate the pregnancy had failed, leaving her with these two precious lives. Though the babies' faces were red and scrunched, Emily couldn’t help but think they were the most beautiful sight she had ever seen. When she reunited with Evelyn, she had confessed her pregnancy, unsure if Evelyn would disapprove. To her relief, Evelyn fully supported her choices

They chose the name Jace Walker, representing a poised and graceful presence, radiating quiet strength and dignity without the need for overt displays of power.For the younger twin, they chose Alec Walker, symbolizing unwavering loyalty and determination, embodying sincerity and steadfastness in every endeavor.*In RC Corporation’s conference room, Justin and Zac sat across from each other, each flanked by their respective teams. Together, they were finalizing the details of a plan to establish a groundbreaking international medical collaboration. Both CEOs and heirs to their respective empires, Justin and Zac had taken the lead in developing a strategy for expanding into Merika State’s medical, biotech, and pharmaceutical sectors. The potential for growth in areas like medical chips was immense, a field historically dominated by foreign capital. With White Medical Corporation’s recent breakthrough in core technologies, the opportunity to claim a share of the market was too s

Justin and Zac entered the grand York family banquet hall together, walking in step. Their first stop was to greet Mr. York Sr. “Mr. York Sr.,” Justin greeted with a nod. Mr. York Sr. beamed. “Ah, Justin, Zac, you’re here.” He turned to Heidi with a proud grin. “Your son is truly remarkable. So young, yet already leading the corporation to such heights. His achievements leave others in his generation far behind. Unlike my daughter, who’s spent years studying overseas and still hasn’t proven herself ready to take over.” “Dad, why do you have to bring me up when you’re praising someone else?” Yvonne pouted playfully, a light blush dusting her impeccably made-up cheeks as she clung to her father’s sleeve. Mr. York Sr. knew his daughter’s intentions all too well. Business is about competition, after all. As long as Justin remained unmarried, his daughter still had a chance. Standing nearby, Heidi chuckled alongside Mrs. York Sr. “Yvonne is exceptional too. She’s capable an

“Didn't you say Justin wouldn't be here?” Emma asked, her voice laced with irritation.“If I’d known he’d show up, I wouldn’t have come with you,” she thought to herself.Jacob clicked his tongue nonchalantly, his tone dismissive. “The secretary said he wouldn’t come. How was I supposed to know he’d change his mind?” *Justin, bored and feeling an emptiness grow inside him, had finished all the necessary pleasantries at the York family’s banquet. He was preparing to leave with Zac, brushing off Yvonne's attempts to prolong his stay. Just as he turned to leave, Emma suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. “Justin,” she said softly, her voice trembling with a hint of desperation, “Can I talk to you alone for a moment?” Zac raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh? And what could you possibly need to say that I can’t hear?” Emma fidgeted, wringing her hands nervously. “I just… I need to explain tonight.” Zac scoffed internally. “What’s ther

How could this possibly be happening?Each breath felt like a blade, cutting through his throat. The pain started deep in his heart and spread through every inch of his body. He hunched over in the back seat, one hand clutching his chest, as if trying to keep himself from falling apart.*Five years later, Justin exuded an air of maturity and magnetism that only deepened with time. In the elite social circles, many young women were drawn to him, vying for his attention, only to be rejected one by one. Inside RC Corporation, rumors swirled that Justin wasn’t single. Some whispered he had secretly married Emma years ago. Emma, meanwhile, had risen from her role in marketing to director. Her style had become increasingly polished, even eerily resembling Emily’s. She had gone so far as to tweak her features through subtle cosmetic adjustments based on Emily’s photos. At first, Justin would freeze when he saw her, a fleeting hope stirring in his chest that Emily had returned. Bu

“Justin…” Emma looked to him for help, her voice soft and pleading after Zac’s harsh words. But Justin, seemingly unfazed by her distress, calmly replied, “You shouldn’t be here alone. I’ll arrange for someone to take you home.”His tone left no room for argument. Within minutes, a pair of black-clad bodyguards escorted Emma to a waiting car. Seated in the back seat, Emma’s gaze burned with resentment as she looked out toward the cemetery grounds. “Emily, even in death, you’re still clinging to Justin!” she silently remarked. The convoy drove off, heading back toward the city. *Justin’s car bypassed the city entirely, heading straight for Villa One. He hadn’t moved out, keeping the place exactly as it had been. Every year, on this day, he cleared his schedule, pushing aside all work commitments. His routine was always the same: visit Emily’s grave in the morning, then return to his home, locking himself in the bedroom for hours until late at night. When he opened th

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
