After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 229
Back in the estate, the children’s room was bustling with activity.Chase sat beside Alex, ensuring he completed his homework, while Richard worked on programming nearby.Alex, chewing on the end of his pencil, whined, “I only have three pages left, Chase. Let me play for a while, and I’ll come back to finish later.”Chase knew his little brother too well. Once Alex was out the door, who knew where he would end up? Without looking up from his Computer Applications book, Chase firmly replied, “No. I’m staying here to make sure you finish and to check your work. This afternoon, I’ll be busy studying with Uncle Richard. I won’t have time to help you later. Now, get to it.”Alex pouted, scribbled two answers, and then, trying to distract Chase, started chatting. “You know, Chase, Mr. Yates has the best hugs. He’s super tall, and when he carries me, it feels like I can touch the sky. Plus, he smells amazing and can hold me for so long!”Chase didn’t even blink, flipping the page of h

“Alright then, this year’s trip will be to Haven State,” Haley decided. “Both Chase and Alex will come along.”“I’ll pass,” Chase replied calmly. “I’d rather stay here and continue learning programming with Uncle Richard.”“So diligent? Chase, you’re leaving me in the dust!” Helen said in mock disbelief.Richard snickered. “He left you in the dust ages ago.”Helen shot him a glare. “Richard, do you want me to knock some sense into you?”Haley quickly intervened. “Alright, enough. No fighting. Then it’s settled. The three of us will go: Alex, Helen, and me.”“Mom, can we leave tomorrow?” Alex asked, his eyes gleaming with mischief.“Tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit too soon?”“Exactly! Give your mom at least a day to rest,” Helen said, ruffling Alex’s hair.“Ow!” Alex covered his head and dodged away.Wilfred chimed in, “I’ll handle the flight arrangements. We’ve got a place to stay there, and you don’t need to pack much. Whatever you need, we can buy it there.”“Uncle Wilfred, you

Wilfred had arranged for a private jet to take them to Haven State. A few bodyguards accompanied them, already aboard to stow their luggage—three suitcases in total, one of which was a child’s. The group boarded shortly after. As the clock struck departure time, the plane began taxiing down the runway. The cabin was spacious yet cozy, with separate sections offering soundproofing. The jet featured onboard Wi-Fi that could be accessed once the flight leveled off, making the journey smooth and comfortable. Two dedicated flight attendants ensured every need was met, and the atmosphere felt serene. Alex sat quietly in his seat, engrossed in his Ultraman show. Helen leaned over with a teasing grin. “Why watch Ultraman all the time? Come on, let’s watch a rom-com with me.” *The private jet touched down at Haven State’s Lincourt City airport just as dawn broke. The morning light painted the horizon in soft hues of gold and pink. Coincidentally, two private jets landed almos

However, Emma continued to follow behind.*On the other side of the parking lot, Alex’s eyes lit up as he spotted Justin, the man he had longed to see. “Mr. Yates…” he began, wanting to call out and introduce him to his mom, but Haley quickly clapped her hand over his mouth and scooped him up. “Mm-mmm!” Alex muffled a protest as she rushed him into the car, strapped him into his seatbelt, and motioned for the driver to take off. Haley hadn’t expected to run into Justin the moment they stepped off the plane. And now, to her horror, he was heading straight toward them. In the panic, she hadn’t caught what Alex had just said. But Helen, sitting next to Alex, had heard it loud and clear. Her eyes lingered meaningfully on the little boy. Could this little rascal’s eagerness to come to Haven State have been deliberate? Helen had thought she would escape them by leaving Merika State and coming here. Yet, as fate would have it, they crossed paths almost instantly. By

The car headed toward the city center, and Helen suddenly sighed, “The downtown area has changed so much! I wonder if that restaurant we loved for its spicy fish stew is still around?” “Spicy fish stew? What’s that?” Alex, who had never tasted authentic Haven State cuisine, looked puzzled. This time, no one answered his question. Haley, too, was gazing at the city’s skyline. The changes were dramatic compared to five years ago. Skyscrapers now stood where older buildings had been demolished and replaced. Even the iconic landmarks looked completely revamped. The car finally pulled up to the villa in the Mistletoe neighborhood. As the group got out, a man in black approached and unlocked the gate. “Miss Haley, Miss Helen, the staff has already made arrangements overnight, and the villa has been thoroughly cleaned.” Haley nodded, holding Alex’s hand as they walked in. Looking around, she commented, “It’s just like it was five years ago.” “Five years ago?” Helen ask
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 234
If it had been the Emily from five years ago, she would have immediately recognized this man. He was the one who had bumped into her twice in the hospital corridor. Emma took the camera and reviewed the photos, eventually selecting two. One showed her and Justin facing each other in a way that looked vaguely intimate, while the other captured Justin with his back to the camera, entering the villa as Emma followed closely behind. “These two,” she said, handing the camera back. “Write it up like before, but make it even more misleading this time.” “Understood,” the man replied. The black car drove away. *Justin pushed open the door to his home. Mrs. Zimmer had already instructed the staff to prepare breakfast, and the timing was perfect. “Mr. Yates, you’re back. Quick, wash your hands and eat. The food abroad must not suit your taste, right?” Mrs. Zimmer’s keen eyes noticed that he looked thinner after his business trip. “Nothing’s as good as your cooking, Mrs. Zim

“Alex, you’re amazing!” Helen exclaimed, pinching his chubby cheeks. She had never managed to win anything from claw machines, but Alex was incredibly skilled at shooting games. With his natural talent and the specialized training he had received, his accuracy wasn’t perfect, but it was impressively high. Proudly, Alex tilted his small head upward, looking absolutely adorable. “Great job!” Haley chimed in, pulling a wet wipe from her bag to clean the sweat off Alex’s face and forehead. After leaving the mall, the group headed to the university town where Helen had attended college years ago. The restaurant they had been reminiscing about was still there, as popular as ever. They booked two private rooms—one for the three of them and another for the bodyguards. Since Alex was with them, they ordered a mild broth for him, while the sisters enjoyed their spicy hot pot. They also added some grilled skewers to the meal and grabbed milk tea from the shop next door.Alex to

The sound of footsteps approached, and Alex turned around. “Mom.” “Hmm. Let me dry your hair first. You can watch more after I’m done,” Haley said as she muted the TV. Alex obediently sat still, watching the now-silent drama while his mom dried his hair. With his short hair, it didn’t take long. Once she finished, Haley put the hairdryer away and noticed a bag of snacks on the coffee table. She reminded him, “Only one bag, okay? Eating too much at night can upset your stomach. Don’t forget to brush your teeth before bed.” “Got it, Mom,” Alex replied. Seeing him behave so well, Haley headed back to her room to take a shower. Not long after Haley went upstairs, Helen came down with a face mask on. She noticed the TV playing the drama she had recommended and walked over to sit on the couch, rubbing serum from the mask into her hands. “Still watching it, Alex? What do you think of the show I recommended? Isn’t it sweet?” “Sweet? Can a TV show be sweet?” Alex tilted

As Mrs. White spoke, her face lit up with the unmistakable grin of someone deeply invested in her son’s love life. Mr. White took the phone from her, sat down beside her, and grinned just as widely. “That little rascal finally figured out how to chase a woman.” As a father, he was proud. But after the initial excitement, a hint of worry crept in. “Wait, no. I need to call him. I need to find out exactly what’s going on.” What if Zac didn’t know how to handle things properly? As a father, it was his duty to guide his son through this! But before he could dial, Mrs. White swiftly pressed down on his hand, stopping him. “They’re getting along just fine. Why would you call and ruin the moment? Do you want to be a third wheel?” “So… we’re not asking?” Mrs. White thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. “We’ll text instead!” “Good idea.” *Meanwhile, Zac was completely focused on enjoying grilled skewers with his wife and nephews. He had no idea his cousi

For the past few days, Chase had been completely wrapped up in tracking down the person who had tried to harm his mom. He had hardly slept, let alone had any fun. Now that they had identified the real culprit, there was no way he was just going to head straight home. “I’m not eating. Let’s just go home.” “No way. After that much ‘exercise,’ you’re not hungry?”Helen’s face immediately flushed red. She shot a glare at Zac. What nonsense was he spouting in front of the kids?! Luckily, Alex didn’t pick up on the double meaning. He was just excited. “Yay! That means we don’t have to go home! Uncle Zac, you’re the best! I like you the most!” One sentence was all it took for Zac to start grinning from ear to ear.Smugly, he glanced at Helen and raised a brow, as if to say, “See? Even Alex is on my side.” Helen’s glare instantly shifted to the backseat. This little brat—whose side was he really on?! In the end, she had no choice but to give in. She called Evelyn a

“Child support,” Justin repeated under his breath, as if still processing the words.He had children now. He was a father. And like any father, he had a responsibility to provide for them. Just like the chairman of B&J Corporation, who had his own family, Justin had a family now too. But… Chase and Alex were already five. Did that mean they no longer needed vaccinations? He had missed five whole years of their lives. Five years. There were countless milestones he could have been part of, yet he had missed them all. That couldn’t happen again. From now on, he wouldn't allow himself to be absent from any part of their lives. He had to be there. Of course, what Justin meant by "seeing the kids occasionally" and what Haley understood were two very different things. Haley thought "occasionally" meant once or twice a year. Justin meant "occasionally" as in every single day. As in—he would see them multiple times a day. Haley, still lying on the bed,

Justin’s grandfather left the shares specifically for his great-grandsons. That could only mean one thing—he had met the boys. Justin's eyes grew misty again. Haley remained still, her back still turned to him, her voice laced with cold indifference. “You don’t need to thank me. The kids have nothing to do with you.” Yes, he was their biological father, but he had contributed nothing beyond his DNA. He hadn't been there, hadn't raised them, hadn't even known about them. So as far as she was concerned, they weren’t his. “Haley, I… I’m not trying to take them from you. I—I don’t want custody… No, that’s not what I mean, I do want them—” Justin, usually sharp and articulate in business, was completely tongue-tied in front of her. He sounded like a clueless, stammering kid, struggling to get the words out right. His desperation was obvious, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. Haley suddenly sat up, her voice sharp and unwavering. “Chase and Alex are my children.
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 570
Helen turned to Haley, slightly stunned, her expression silently asking if this was real. Haley shrugged and spread her hands. “Same as earlier today—Chase was defending Alex back then too.” Helen let out a breath, half exasperated, half amused. But she wasn’t about to let the brothers off just because of Chase’s plea. With a swift motion, she smacked each of them on the backside twice. Their cries echoed through the room, making Justin, still hiding in the side bedroom, frown deeply. Was Helen being too rough? The boys were actually crying out in pain. Outside, Alex clutched his behind, giving it a quick rub. As soon as the sting faded, he was back to his usual energetic self. Helen never actually hit him hard—just enough to make a point. Compared to punching a sandbag, this was nothing. Chase, on the other hand, wasn’t used to this at all. He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling an unfamiliar discomfort.After all, this was the first time in his life he had e

When Helen finished changing and glanced out the window, she finally realized that the sky had already turned dark. Her eyes darted to the clock on the wall. “Eight o’clock?!” Her voice shot up several octaves, practically loud enough to shake the ceiling. “Zac White, look what you’ve done!” “My bad, my bad. We’ll go pick up the kids right now.” At this moment, Zac wasn’t complaining about his chest pain anymore. He quickly admitted his mistake, so much so that Helen couldn’t even find a reason to keep scolding him. Grabbing their bags and car keys, the two of them rushed toward Haley’s hospital room. At the door, Helen reached out to push it open, but Zac beat her to it. Instead of barging in, he knocked loudly—so loudly it was as if he was afraid no one inside would hear him. Helen shot him a suspicious look. “Why are you knocking so hard? It’s not like my sister goes to bed this early. Wait, is Justin in there?” Only now did she remember that Justin existed.

Helen’s face started turning red, and she gave him a light slap. “Be serious, we’re in the hallway.” “Oww!” The moment she touched him, Zac doubled over, groaning dramatically as if he were on the verge of tears. Helen didn’t buy it. “Oh, come on. It wasn’t that bad.” She had barely tapped him! “It really hurts! If you don’t believe me, take a look.” As he spoke, he shamelessly started unbuttoning his white coat right there in the hallway, determined to show her his "injury." Helen panicked and quickly reached out to stop him, pressing his coat closed. The two of them wrestled—one trying to undo buttons, the other trying to fasten them back. “We’re in public! If you really want me to check, wait until we’re home tonight.” She was in a rush to pick up the kids and had no time to argue with him here. “Nope. You have to look now. It’s probably bruised, and you need to help me apply medicine.” “Medicine? You’re a grown man! Can you stop acting so fragile?”

“Are Chase and Alex with you?” Evelyn asked.Haley glanced down at the two children in her arms and replied calmly, “Yes, they’re here with me.” “Is Justin at the hospital? Did he see them?” Evelyn asked. Haley hesitated for a moment, her eyes drifting toward Justin, who was standing not far from her. Then, she lied to her mother. “No, he’s not here. I heard he went to meet with a business partner this afternoon.” “Good. I’ll have Helen go pick up the kids.” “Okay.” After hanging up, Haley tossed her phone onto the bed without sparing Justin a second glance. She didn’t explain her plans for the children to him, nor did she feel the need to. Justin wanted to ask, but with Chase and Alex present, he held back. Haley lifted Alex from her lap, wiping away the tears on his cheeks before continuing her lecture. “Do you know who just called?” Alex sniffled. “Grandma…” “That’s right! You two snuck out without telling anyone. Do you know how worried she was?” She

This was the first time Alex had ever seen Mommy this angry. She had never been like this before. He was so scared! “I don’t want Uncle Justin anymore… Mommy~~ hic… hic.”Alex cried so hard that he started hiccupping uncontrollably. No matter how angry Haley was, seeing her little son in such distress broke her heart. She pulled him into her arms, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath. At the same time, she scolded sternly, “I’m calling home right now. Someone will come and take you both back!” Justin had more bodyguards stationed at the hospital than she did. She didn’t trust him. The only way she could feel at ease was by keeping the children safe at home, surrounded by family. Justin and Chase both wanted to speak, but Chase beat him to it. “Mommy, sneaking to the hospital was my idea. This has nothing to do with Alex. If you want to discipline someone, discipline me.” Justin wanted to step closer but hesitated. He watched as the three of them
