After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 245
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

As they exited the restroom, Helen happened to see Zac pushing the door open to enter. Left with no other choice, she stayed in the restroom area with Alex for a while, assuming Zac would head back to his private dining room soon, giving them a chance to slip past unnoticed. To her surprise, instead of returning to a private room, Zac took a seat at a window-side table directly across from the restroom.Across from him sat a long-haired woman, and the two seemed to be chatting. Helen couldn’t hear what Zac and the woman were saying, but it was obvious they were on a date. The restroom had a faint scent of air freshener, but the smell was far from pleasant. Adding to her discomfort, her legs were starting to go numb after walking all morning. Just then, Haley called her, telling them to come back for lunch. Unable to wait any longer, Helen seized the moment when Zac lowered his head to sip his coffee. Quickly scooping Alex into her arms, she dashed down the hallway as fast

After what felt like an eternity, the ring of Alex’s smartwatch finally interrupted them. Only then did Zac reluctantly release Helen’s lips. Quick as a flash, Alex hit the hang-up button, not wanting to spoil the moment. He hadn’t had his fill of peeking yet! Zac glanced down at Alex and asked without hesitation, “Is Alex… our child? Did you secretly have him without telling me?” Helen choked, coughing uncontrollably, caught off guard by his question. Alex’s jaw dropped in disbelief. “What? Mr. White is my dad?!” The two pairs of astonished eyes turned to Helen for answers. Zac patted her back thoughtfully with one hand, while his other arm remained securely around her waist, ensuring she wouldn’t bolt. Once Helen managed to catch her breath, she shot him a furious glare. “Zac White, stop letting your imagination run wild! Alex isn’t your child.” Alex, standing below them, let out a quiet sigh of relief, patting his little chest. “Phew, Mr. White isn’t my dad.

Zac raised three fingers, his expression earnest, as though making a solemn oath. “I can’t spend another night alone in a cold, empty bed,” he thought.Helen shot him a glare as she walked away, snapping, “Who’s your wife? Stop saying nonsense.”As she rounded the corner with Alex in tow, Alex suddenly broke his silence. “Aunt Helen, is this like one of those scenes in a TV drama where the main couple meets again and gets back together?”Helen immediately clamped a hand over Alex’s mouth, leaning down to whisper sharply in his ear, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s getting back together? And don’t you dare tell your mom about this, got it?”Alex nodded quickly, his little head bobbing in agreement.But inside, Alex was skeptical. “Does Aunt Helen think I’m clueless? Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I can’t see what’s going on. Mr. White kissed her! This is totally like one of those TV drama couples. At least… it had to be a long time ago,” he thought to himself.When

William had his own office next to Justin’s, mirroring Sam’s office on the other side. When Justin was working, William often used his office to rest. As soon as Justin gave the order, William grabbed his car keys without a word and followed him out. *At the Peninsula Restaurant, Alex begged to return to the amusement park after finishing lunch. Haley, however, worried they might run into Justin again. She quickly made an excuse, saying, “Alex, it’s too hot this afternoon. Look at your little face! It’s already red from the sun. Let’s wait for a cooler day, and I promise we’ll come back. Okay?” She pulled up the camera on her phone, switching to selfie mode to show Alex his flushed cheeks. Alex pouted, leaning back in his chair with a sulky look. “You’re lying, Mommy. You said after lunch we’d go back, and now you’re going back on your word.” Haley and Helen exchanged a guilty glance. Neither wanted to lie to the boy, but they couldn’t risk a second encounter with Ju

In the dimly lit room, Justin sat alone, his silhouette slumped, resembling an abandoned orphan. The computer screen emitted a faint glow, highlighting his desolate figure as he held the photo he had brought along. Amid the crowd in the image, Emily’s profile stood out—small yet unmistakable. It was so subtle that it could easily be overlooked, yet vivid enough to be etched into Justin’s mind with every detail of her face. The computer screen dimmed further due to inactivity, casting a softer light on Justin’s downturned face as he gazed at the photo. The surveillance room exuded an overwhelming loneliness. Meanwhile, in the private room at the Peninsula Restaurant, Haley had grown increasingly uneasy after seeing Justin at the amusement park. Unable to shake her concern, she reached out to Richard, who was in Merika State. She requested he hack into the surveillance system to delete all footage of her and her group. Coincidentally, Richard was testing a facial recognition

Haley had no time to react.The moment Justin’s lips touched hers, a resounding slap echoed through the room.“Smack!” The sting burned across his face, but he didn’t let go. Instead, he pressed his lips even harder against hers—not out of lust, but from an overwhelming longing that had consumed him for five years.Justin’s soul trembled. The sheer emotion of their reunion defied words. Her garment bag and handbag lay forgotten on the floor. Haley’s hand was trapped in his grip, while her free hand repeatedly landed sharp slaps across his face. The crisp sound of each slap filled the room.Justin didn’t stop her. He neither resisted nor tried to control her.“Hit me,” Justin thought to himself.He deserved this—for abandoning her to face the earthquake alone in Ramsdale. It was his fault. If she needed to vent her anger, he would take it all.As long as she was alive. As long as she was still here.A single tear slid from Justin’s eye, traveling down his cheek be

Mrs. Gibson rushed over as soon as she saw her daughter causing trouble, eager to smooth things over. “Oh dear, how did the dress get ruined? Miss Haley, come upstairs with me to change into something clean. It’s not good for the other guests to see this. I’ve prepared several dresses just in case. You and Xena are about the same size. They should fit perfectly,” she said with a polite but slightly forced smile. “No need, Mrs. Gibson,” Wilfred responded coldly, his sharp tone leaving no room for argument. “We have our own backups.” He turned to Haley, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Head upstairs. I’ll have someone bring your dress.” Haley nodded, not saying much. When Wilfred spoke, she knew it was best to let him handle it. Still, a pang of regret passed through her. It was the dress Alex had picked for her that afternoon. Following Mrs. Gibson and the maid, Haley went up to the third floor. Once inside the room, she waited for a while before the maid knock

Haley had just taken a few steps forward when Xena grabbed her arm roughly from behind. “Stop right there!” Xena barked angrily, her voice sharp and accusing, as though convinced Haley was about to report her behavior. The force of Xena’s tug caused Haley’s forward momentum to halt abruptly. At the same time, a chilling sensation ran down her back. It was the wine. Xena’s other hand, which had been holding a glass of red wine, had jerked with the motion, spilling the deep crimson liquid all over Haley’s back. The dark wine streamed down the pale champagne-colored fabric of Haley’s dress, leaving an unmistakable stain. Some of the droplets even splashed into her hair. Across the room, Justin had been quietly trailing behind Haley, watching her from a distance, careful not to startle her. When he saw the scene unfold, his expression darkened. He immediately stepped forward, but just as he moved, his phone vibrated in his jacket pocket. “Mr. Yates, we’ve swept the ent

Xena took a step forward, her focus fixed entirely on Wilfred. Naturally, she noticed his protective gesture of holding Haley by the waist. “That shameless vixen!” Xena fumed inwardly. “She’s even trying to seduce her own brother. What a disgrace!”“Well, you sly Yates boy! So you wanted to make a grand entrance, huh? Hahaha!” Mr. Gibson Sr. clapped his hands and laughed heartily. The celebration was clearly putting him in high spirits, with all the powerful attendees giving him the respect he felt was due. Justin withdrew his lingering gaze from Haley’s waist and replied to Mr. Gibson Sr. with calm detachment. “Just a bit of timing, that’s all.” While outwardly maintaining his composure and engaging in polite conversation, his mind was completely preoccupied with the presence of Haley standing nearby. *As the birthday toasts concluded, the guests began to scatter, mingling and networking throughout the room. Haley stepped off the stage and pulled Wilfred aside t

Haley wouldn’t let a private matter with Xena cause a scene at a public event. Nor would she waste her energy on someone like Xena, who didn’t even register as a threat in her eyes. Xena, on the other hand, glanced at Haley. Her smile faltered, her expression unreadable. She gave a stiff nod, saying nothing. “My granddaughter is excellent in every way, but she’s a bit too mischievous,” Mr. Gibson Sr. said with a chuckle. Turning to Wilfred, he added, “While you’re in Haven State, perhaps you could help me keep her in line.” Wilfred offered a polite smile. “Miss Gibson is refined and intelligent, with your personal guidance from a young age. How could she possibly be mischievous?” Mr. Gibson Sr. burst into hearty laughter. “You certainly know how to flatter! Xena, take advantage of this time to learn a thing or two from Wilfred.” “Yes, Grandpa,” Xena replied softly, sneaking a glance at Wilfred, her cheeks flushed with shyness. Wilfred’s response was neutral, his expre

Justin returned to the banquet hall, his tall, athletic figure standing just outside the crowd. His head was lowered slightly, and a faint sense of dejection seemed to hang around him. Emily Yates. Her name repeated endlessly in his mind, like a mantra he couldn’t escape. He had been so close—twice now. He had almost found her. The birthday celebration was already underway, and guests had gathered near the stage. Justin lifted his head, about to move forward, when his eyes caught sight of a figure in the distance.He froze. Narrowing his sharp eyes, he stared intently, confirming again and again what he was seeing. The noise around him faded into silence. The only thing he could see was the woman standing on the stage. Emily!It was her. The very person who haunted his dreams, night after night. She was there, right in front of him. Alive. Emily Yates wasn’t dead. The lights from above illuminated her figure, casting a soft glow that seemed to make her

Haley walked straight to Wilfred’s side, saying nothing about Xena’s warning or even mentioning her. “You’re back? I didn’t see you earlier and was about to go look for you. It’s almost time to wish Mr. Gibson Sr. a happy birthday,” Wilfred said with a warm smile, nodding as he looked at her.“I was just taking a walk in the garden. The flowers there are beautiful,” Haley explained. Wilfred glanced out the floor-to-ceiling windows toward the garden. “If you like them, I’ll have them planted at Mistletoe for you.” He made a mental note of the flowers’ appearance and type—anything for his sister. “No need for that. We’re not here often. But if they could be planted at home, that would be even better,” Haley replied, referring to their estate in Merika State. “Alright, we’ll have them planted at home,” Wilfred agreed easily. At that moment, Mr. Gibson Sr. entered the banquet hall, supported by his son and daughter-in-law as he made his way to the stage. Dressed in a tai

Haley didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled faintly, her tone carrying a slight chill. Taking a slow step forward, she stood in front of Xena. “I’m looking forward to the day you marry Wilfred,” she said calmly. Without waiting for a response, she brushed past Xena and headed back toward the hall, taking the opposite direction from where she had come. Left alone in the garden, Xena stomped her foot in frustration. “What did she mean by that? Was she mocking me?”How dare Haley ignore her warning! Xena’s face darkened. “I’ll make her regret it.” As Xena stormed off, she ran straight into Justin. “Mr… Mr. Yates…” Xena stammered, her arrogance quickly replaced by nerves. “Did you see the woman who was just here on the phone?” Justin asked urgently. He had spotted her from the balcony and had rushed down in search of her, but the crowded banquet had delayed him. In just that short time, she had disappeared.Xena pursed her lips, indifferent. “Oh, her? She left.”“Left?

Unlike Alex, who spent his days running around and playing sports nonstop, her two sons were like night and day—one was all brains, the other all brawn, a perfectly clear contrast. Chase remained silent on the other end of the call. He had already made plans with Uncle Richard to hack into a small company’s website today as practice. “Hmm?” Haley raised her voice when she noticed the silence. “Got it, Mom,” Chase replied, feigning agreement. “She won’t find out anyway. I’ll just practice first, then work out afterward,” he thought.“Alright, I’m hanging up now. Go eat something and make sure to rest and exercise. And if you miss me, just give me a call,” Haley reminded him one last time, her tone filled with care. “Okay, I will, Mom,” Chase replied. As the call ended, a sudden rustling sound came from behind her. Haley turned around sharply, her gaze landing on the large tree from which the sound had come. Her voice turned stern. “Who’s there? Come out!” “Hmph!” A
