After refreshing the page, the screen displayed: “This webpage no longer exists. Please browse other content.”*Emma had just returned to her office and sat down, feeling quite pleased. She had checked the online comments, and the public sentiment was overwhelmingly in her favor. The news was trending, and the attention boosted her mood.As she was about to dive into work, her phone buzzed with a message from Jacob. She opened it, and her expression immediately darkened. It was a photo of her in bed, clearly showing her face. A second message followed: “Last night, you were incredible! So passionate!”Her hands tightened around the phone. “He took my nude photo while I was asleep?” she fumed.She immediately called Jacob. The line barely rang before he picked up.“Jacob Yates, delete that photo right now!” Emma snarled, lowering her voice and locking her office door to ensure no one could overhear.A chuckle came through the line, followed by his teasing, mockingly affectionate

The phone on the side buzzed, and Justin picked it up to see a message from Emma. It was a shared link about the upcoming art exhibition featuring the artist Haley. He clicked on the link, a flicker of regret crossing his face. Missing Haley’s exhibition in Merika State had been a disappointment, but this time, he was determined to attend. He needed to meet Haley in person to complete what Emily had left unfinished in her lifetime. “When the day comes that I die, I’ll be able to tell Emily about it when I see her again,” he thought to himself. Justin replied with a simple thank you to Emma’s message, then opened the link to reserve a spot for the exhibition. Seeing his response, Emma immediately booked herself a ticket as well. Five years—it had been five years, and now she had to pretend to like the things Emily had enjoyed just to stay close to Justin. How ridiculous. She actually had to play the role of her own stand-in.The thought made her seethe with resentment. “I

Elena pursed her lips, placed the file on the desk, but didn’t leave. Instead, she asked, “Dr. White, are you going on a blind date?” Zac looked up at her, his brows furrowing slightly. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” Elena quickly explained, lowering her head. “Your voice was just so loud. I accidentally overheard.” After a brief pause, Zac admitted, “Yes, I am.” “And… who’s it with?” Elena asked hesitantly, her voice slightly unsure as she blinked at him. “Alright, you can go now,” Zac replied almost at the same time, not catching her question. His attention was elsewhere. “Oh.” Elena murmured in disappointment, turned, and left the room. *The next morning, Alex woke up to find his mom wasn’t beside him. “She must’ve gotten up earlier than me,” he thought, getting out of bed obediently to change and brush his teeth. His little mind was still consumed by what his aunt had told him yesterday—Justin had a girlfriend. He had thought about it all night, even dre

Haley knocked lightly on Helen’s door. “Coming,” Helen groaned, pushing herself up from the bed. The lingering effects of last night’s red wine made her head throb painfully. She forced herself to the dining table and plopped down. “If you’re feeling unwell, we can skip going out today,” Haley suggested. "Exactly, Aunt Helen. I’ll stay with you and keep you company," Alex offered sweetly. Although he was too young to understand why his aunt felt so unwell after just one night of sleep, his thoughtfulness shone through.“No need.” Helen suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Haley’s arm dramatically. “Back in the day, I ruled the bars and clubs, danced till dawn, and no matter how much I drank, I was always fresh and lively the next day. A little half-bottle of wine can’t bring me down. Impossible!” Haley rolled her eyes. She gently pushed Helen, who was leaning heavily on her, to sit up straight. “Back in the day, how old were you? And how old are you now? You’re not 2

“Alright, since Alex found the spot, let’s go eat there,” Helen said cheerfully. Since it was a bit far, the three decided to head back to the parking lot and drive over. *At RC Corporation, the day was relatively quiet, leaving Justin with little to do. When lunchtime rolled around, he took the elevator down to the employee cafeteria with Sam. They had just sat down, and Justin had taken a few bites of his meal when Emma appeared, tray in hand, and walked over to join them. The cafeteria buzzed with employees who had noticed the CEO’s presence, but none dared to approach. For the regular staff, there was an unspoken distance between them and their boss. Managers, on the other hand, were wary of sitting too close and ending up fielding impromptu work questions. Emma, however, confidently made her way over. Seeing Justin make no effort to prevent her from sitting, Sam instinctively scooted further in to make room. Emma smoothly slid into the seat across from Justin.

The next morning, Haley woke up early and gently woke Alex. There was no need to wake Helen. She always set her own alarm. Everything they needed for the trip to the amusement park had been packed the day before, so they were ready to head out right after breakfast. Once washed up, the three ate their breakfast downstairs, then grabbed their backpacks and set off. *At the same time, Justin was already up and shaving in front of the mirror in his bathroom. Without Emily, he had learned to tie his own tie and spritz on her favorite perfume before heading out. There was still plenty of time before heading to Bay Amusement Park. He needed to stop by the office first to attend a morning meeting.*When the car arrived at Bay Amusement Park, Haley helped Alex out of the car and set him down. Alex, wearing a small backpack, had a safety leash secured around his waist, with the other end strapped to Haley’s wrist like a bracelet. Helen stepped out of the car and looked aroun

Helen looked up and gave Haley a quick wink.Haley smiled softly. Helen’s personality hadn’t changed much in the past five years, and that was fine with her. She herself didn’t feel like standing out in the sun either. The sun wasn’t a big deal for her, but Alex was still young, and she didn’t want him to risk getting heatstroke.Leaning closer, Haley said, “Alex, didn’t you mention last night that you wanted to see the fish in the aquarium?” Alex furrowed his brows, clearly reluctant. He hadn’t finished exploring the outdoor attractions yet. Haley could tell what he was thinking from the look on his face. She gently suggested, “How about this? After lunch, when the lines are shorter, we’ll go back to the rides. Sound good?” “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Mom,” Alex said, letting go of his hesitation. They gathered their belongings and left the cafe. *Meanwhile, Justin and his team were inspecting the central ocean-themed building of the park, conveniently located next

“Mom, you need to eat a proper breakfast from now on,” Alex said, mimicking the tone Haley used when she scolded him for skipping meals. “Otherwise, your stomach will get upset.”Haley’s eyes curved into a smile. “Alright, Mom will remember that.” They took a detour, avoiding Justin’s group, and left the amusement park. Across the street was Peninsula Restaurant. Since it wasn’t lunchtime yet, there were only a handful of diners. Haley, worried that sitting near the windows might risk running into Justin again, decided to take Alex into one of the private dining rooms. *Following the time and location Justin had sent him, Zac drove to Peninsula Restaurant. When he entered, a server approached him. “Good afternoon, sir. How many in your party?” “I have a reservation for table six,” Zac replied. The server guided him to a table by the window, where a long-haired woman was already seated. She matched the photo Justin had sent. Raising an eyebrow, Zac thought to

“Sis, I’m pretty handsome, right?” Justin asked, grinning proudly.And just like that, his voice shattered the illusion Haley had briefly fallen into.She gave him a look. “Don’t flatter yourself. Let’s go.”The two headed downstairs, where William was already waiting to drive them to RC Corporation. He pulled into the underground parking garage, and they made their way up to the executive floor.Inside the president’s office, Haley still wasn’t fully at ease. She had him run through the negotiation script one more time, rehearsing the key points like a stage play. Only when Justin delivered his lines with calm precision did she finally relax.“This shipment is critical for the international project’s timeline,” she reminded him. “You read through the materials yesterday—you get how important this is, right?”Justin nodded.“Don’t stress too much. Just channel that cool, commanding energy you had a minute ago,” Haley said, coaching him seriously. “Get in there and bluff your way

Following Haley into the kitchen, Justin was about to speak when he caught the sound of her voice—she was chatting with Helen.Haley had just poured herself a glass of water from the fridge. Helen, as always, was talking non-stop at her side.“Sis, with Justin calling you ‘sis’ every day, doesn’t it kinda feel like you’ve got yourself a younger, puppy-eyed boyfriend?” Her tone was teasing, full of mischief. “Kinda like that matchmaking event I set up for you back then.”She nudged Haley’s shoulder, waggling her eyebrows suggestively.That one line pulled both of them back to that night at the bar.Haley shot her a look. “You’re pregnant. Can you not let your imagination run wild for once? If you’re that curious, have Zac call you ‘sis’ every night.”“Oh, come on. What’s the harm in a little gossip?” Helen giggled. “Honestly though, this amnesia version of Justin is kind of adorable. All innocent and wide-eyed. You’re telling me you don’t feel anything?”“No,” Haley answered flat

Haley pressed her fingers to her temple, her headache building. “Prepare a full briefing. I want all the contract details, background on the partner company, and a response script. He needs to memorize everything by tomorrow. He’s going to that meeting.”She gestured toward Justin, clearly making him responsible.“Yes, ma’am,” Sam replied.“And one more thing,” Haley added, her tone sharp. “Find a new supplier. Once this delivery is done, terminate the contract. We’re not working with unreliable partners.”“Understood.”As Sam left, Haley turned to Justin, looking down at him from where she stood. “Memorize the talking points. Lock the key contract terms in your head. Tomorrow, you’re facing their CEO. Think you can handle it?”Justin blinked up at her with wide, innocent eyes. “Don’t worry, Sis. If it’s something you asked me to do, I’ll make sure I get it right!”*That evening at Mistletoe Villa, Helen had just returned from a prenatal checkup. Everyone was gathered in the l

“You want your memory back, right? Great. Go ahead and read through these files and sign off on them. That’ll jog your memory in no time.”Haley pushed the day’s workload onto Justin’s desk. Memory loss or not, she was sure his business instincts and decision-making skills were still in there somewhere.It was just like when she had lost her memory. Her painting skills and foreign languages had still been there, buried in her subconscious.Justin didn’t need to recall every detail of the past. As long as he could function in the office and resume his role as president, that was good enough.He froze. Sure, he wanted to grow closer to Haley and get her to care about him again, but going back to work so soon? That hadn’t exactly been the plan.Still, realizing what she wanted, he didn’t argue. Instead, he obediently picked up the first document and started reading carefully.Then, suddenly, he asked, “Sis, what’s the project timeline for the international expansion? I don’t remembe

Zac jogged off in a hurry, not daring to stick around and witness more of Justin’s embarrassment.Justin, having failed to sneak into Haley’s room, had no choice but to sulk back to the guest room the housekeeper had prepared for him.*The next morning, Haley came downstairs for breakfast. She hadn’t slept well—staying up late to work, only to get riled up by Justin all over again. The dark circles under her eyes were impossible to hide, no matter how much concealer she applied.She stepped into the dining room and spotted Justin already sitting at the table.“Morning, sis!” he chirped.He looked every bit the picture of youthful energy, dressed in a clean athletic tracksuit, his expression bright and full of life. He really did look like a high school senior.Haley took one look at his well-rested, cheerful face and felt an unexplainable surge of irritation rise in her chest.She didn’t say a word. Ignoring him completely, she walked to her seat and sat down. Her gaze swept t

After dinner, Haley returned to her room to get some work done. There were a few reports she still needed to read through, so she made herself a cup of coffee for a quick energy boost.She had just stepped inside and closed the door when a sudden force hit from behind, pushing through the door and into her back. She stumbled forward, nearly spilling the coffee all over herself.Her brows furrowed in irritation. She turned around—only to see Justin already halfway into her room, the door swinging shut behind him.He froze, looking immediately guilty. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!” he blurted out.His voice carried that youthful warmth, clear and gentle like an 18-year-old boy. His lowered gaze and sheepish expression were tinged with a kind of helpless remorse that made it hard for Haley to stay angry.She stepped back, putting distance between them. Her tone turned cool. “What are you doing in here?”Justin took that as permission to step fully inside and shut the door behind him
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 716
At that moment, Justin furrowed his brows and stared at Haley with confusion, as if trying hard to place her face. After a long pause, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He pointed at Haley and exclaimed, “Sis!”That one word stopped Zac in his tracks. He blinked. Did Justin… just slip into little brother mode?And he wasn’t the only one thrown off. Chase and Alex stood frozen, mouths slightly open. Alex placed a hand on Justin’s forehead, then leaned in to check again.No fever.So why was he calling their mom sister?And now… what were they supposed to call him?Haley's gaze locked on Justin, intense and searching. She scanned him from head to toe, as if looking for a clue—anything to explain this strange behavior. But she found nothing.Justin, noticing her silence, instantly wilted. His lips curled into a small pout. “Is it because I’m useless? Is that why you’re ignoring me, sis?”“Sis?” Haley turned slowly toward Zac, her voice low, suspicious. “What is that abou

Zac straightened up and wiped the last traces of tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.“Haley’s fine,” he said. “Just a few minor injuries. You’ve been out for over two weeks. She healed a long time ago. Right now, she’s temporarily managing RC Corporation for you.“She went on a business trip to that island project you were working on. I heard the scenery’s amazing. Chase and Alex went with her.”“Managing?” Justin repeated, his voice faint.“Yeah,” Zac nodded. “She didn’t accept the assets or shares you left her. She’s just acting as president until you wake up and can take over again.”Zac hadn’t originally known all this. He had only overheard Haley explaining it to the family after she agreed to step in. He had been surprised, even though, in hindsight, it made sense. Justin had written up a will before the rescue mission, leaving everything to Haley. It was bold but not unexpected.Justin lowered his gaze, eyes dimming as he quietly muttered, “Temp

“The building at the heart of the island is a massive wedding chapel,” the staff member explained cheerfully. “The first floor is for the ceremony itself, the second for the banquet. The third floor is reserved for dressing and makeup, and from the fourth floor up, it’s all accommodations. The very top level is the bridal suite.”The more he spoke, the deeper Haley’s frown became. Something wasn’t adding up.“So this is an all-inclusive wedding venue?” she cut in.The man chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh, no, no. This place isn’t open to the public. Mr. Yates built it exclusively for his wife. Just the two of them. One couple. That’s it.”Haley was at a loss for words.Even Alex, the more clueless of the twins, caught on. His eyes sparkled as he tugged at Haley’s hand. “Mommy! Uncle Justin built this place for you! It’s so romantic!”Five years ago—around the time he and Chase were born—their dad had already been planning a wedding for their mom.Suddenly, Alex didn’t feel quit
