After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 208
In the afternoon, Justin’s private jet landed back in Lincourt City. On the way home, his phone rang—it was his mother, Heidi.“Hello, Mom,” Justin answered.“Are you free tonight after work? Come home and have dinner with me. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you,” Heidi said, not waiting for his reply before continuing. “And don’t try to use work as an excuse. I already called your secretarial team. They told me you don’t have any meetings, events, or overtime scheduled for tonight.”Justin’s expression darkened as he shot a warning glance at Sam in the front passenger seat. Catching his boss’s stern look in the rearview mirror, Sam understood the message loud and clear: “Keep your team in check.”Awkwardly, Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose. How was he supposed to know one of the assistants would leak his boss’s schedule to Heidi? Now he was caught in the crossfire.“Mom, if you miss me, I’ll come visit. But you can’t keep using that as an excuse to sneakily set me up on blind dat
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 209
In Haven State, Justin and Zac had just wrapped up a busy morning of work and were stepping out of the central hospital building when a small figure darted toward them from across the street. “Hi! I got separated from my aunt. Can I borrow your phone to call her?” It was Alex. From afar, he had already spotted these two men. One of them exceptionally handsome. Definitely someone who would match his mom perfectly. “Oh? Where’d this little guy come from?” Zac walked over, ruffling Alex’s hair. He turned to Justin and asked, “Do you know him?” Justin shook his head, his tone cool and detached. “No.” That cold, detached voice—why did it sound so familiar? Alex wondered, squinting at Justin thoughtfully. He couldn’t quite place it, so he decided not to dwell on it. Alex never liked making things hard for himself. Zac scanned the area, frowning. “What’s your name? Where are your parents? How could they lose track of you like this?“Tell you what,” Zac continued. “How ab

“Hello, Aunt!” Alex’s cheerful voice came through the phone. Helen froze mid-step as she was about to push the door open, her heart plunging into freefall like a roller coaster. Hearing Alex’s voice brought her crashing back to solid ground. “Alex, where did you go? Do you have any idea how worried I was when you disappeared?” Helen’s voice trembled, a mix of relief and frustration. The thought of losing Alex on her watch terrified her. How could she face her sister, or the entire family, if something had happened to him? “Um…” Alex’s big, expressive eyes darted nervously, guilt flashing across his face. “Uh-oh, Aunt Helen sounds mad,” he thought to himself.Justin and Zac stood nearby, keeping an eye on Alex as he made the call. Worried that Alex might struggle to explain their location, Justin reached out, ready to take the phone and provide the address himself. But just as his hand extended, Alex confidently recited their exact location into the phone, his words cl

“Oh, okay, Aunt,” Alex replied obediently, handing the phone back to Justin. Although Alex didn’t understand why his aunt didn’t come over to thank them—something he found quite impolite—he knew he couldn’t afford to be rude himself. With a polite smile, he sincerely said, “Thank you, Mr. Yates and Mr. White. My aunt is waiting for me over there, so I’ll head back now.”Justin frowned, his concern evident. What kind of parent or guardian lets a child wander off and doesn’t even come to fetch them? Letting the kid walk back alone felt irresponsible.“We’ll walk you over,” he said firmly, unwilling to let the child go by himself.Alex waved his hand. “It’s fine, Mr. Yates. It’s really close! I’ll call you when I get home, okay?” A glimmer of mischief flashed in Alex’s big, sparkling eyes. Now that he had Mr. Yates’s phone number, staying in touch wouldn’t be a problem. “Alright, but be careful. We’ll watch you until you’re safe.”“Got it!” Alex chirped, jogging to the corner be

When Sean first saw them again at university, he was thrilled. However, when he learned that Haley had children and that she had been pregnant during the earthquake, his emotions took a heavy toll. That night, he returned to his dorm and cried in private. Haley’s survival and her safe delivery were nothing short of miraculous, but the thought of her enduring so much pain enraged him. He cursed Justin inwardly for being such a bastard. The next morning, when they crossed paths again, Sean’s eyes were visibly swollen. After graduating, Sean chose to stay in Merika State, where he launched a tech company that quickly became a major success. Meanwhile, Haley and Helen teamed up to open an art gallery. Haley’s name made a triumphant return to the art scene, with her focusing on her creations while Helen managed operations and acted as her agent. *At the gallery, Haley donned an apron and worked alongside her team, arranging paintings and preparing the exhibition space for an up

Haley slumped into the front passenger seat, exhaustion etched on her face. Helen started the car and handed her a coffee. “Here, sis, I got you a coffee. Take a sip to perk up.”“Alex, hand the coffee to your mom,” Helen instructed.“Okay,” Alex replied, carefully passing the coffee from the back seat. “Thanks, Alex,” Haley said with a tired smile, taking the cup from him.Lately, her time had been consumed by preparations for the art exhibition, leaving little room to spend with her children. The family had stepped in to help. Alex stayed with Helen, while Chase spent time with Wilfred. They were now on their way to pick up Chase and Wilfred. Tonight, Evelyn had booked a table at a restaurant to celebrate Haley’s upcoming art show, wishing her success in advance. Over the past five years, Haley’s life had been smooth and fulfilling, free of worries and full of support.In Wilfred’s office, he was wrapping up his work while Chase sat at a small desk nearby, studying business m

“Hello, Mom.”“Where have you been? I messaged you to meet at the restaurant, and why didn’t you go? Do you know that poor girl has been waiting for you forever?” Heidi’s angry voice came through the phone. This time, she hadn’t set him up with some heiress from a wealthy family. Instead, she had found a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Emily.“Mom, didn’t I tell you already? I’m not interested in blind dates.”“At least give me the courtesy of checking her out! Show a little respect for me, will you?” Heidi ranted, so agitated that she felt like her heart might give out. “If you weren’t going to show up, you could’ve just told me!”Justin sighed. His schedule was packed, and he genuinely hadn’t had a moment to check his messages. As he glanced around, he thought he caught sight of Alex’s small figure out of the corner of his eye. Squinting, he looked again, but all he saw was a potted plant nearby. Maybe he had imagined it. Distractedly, he replied, “Fine, Mom. When I g

Justin pushed open the private dining room door, carrying Alex in his arms. The reactions around the table were varied. The female business partner, in particular, looked utterly shocked. Spotting Alex was as if she had seen someone incredibly influential. It hadn’t crossed her mind that they might know the Walker family.Zac was momentarily surprised to see Justin walk in with a child, but the moment he recognized Alex, it all made sense. His tone turned casual as he remarked, “How’d you run into Alex?”He stood, giving up his seat to make room for them.Justin settled into his seat, placing Alex on his lap rather than letting him sit separately. Alex didn’t mind at all. He was quite content to stay where he was. Noticing Alex might be hungry, Justin picked up a fork and began offering him small bites of food. He even instructed the server to bring a fresh set of utensils for Alex. Once Alex was taken care of, Justin turned to Zac and responded, “I bumped into him while I was o

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
