After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 253
Helen avoided Haley’s gaze, her eyes darting away. Haley tilted her head, puzzled by her sister’s behavior. Back then, during their trip to the seaside villa, Helen had nudged Haley into the dance floor before sneaking off to the rocky shore, where she met Zac White. The two hit it off immediately, their personalities aligning effortlessly, and they exchanged contact information. At the time, she had no idea Zac was Justin’s closest friend. After leaving the villa, they continued to meet up casually, bonding over food and shared interests. Somewhere along the way, their dynamic shifted, becoming undeniably more intimate. Then came the night at Majestic Bar, where Helen and Haley gathered a group of young studs and were picking their favorites. What started as a fun evening ended with Helen and Zac unexpectedly winding up in bed together.It was only after that night she learned Zac and Justin weren’t just acquaintances but childhood best friends. When she tried to create

Helen scrolled through the endless messages from Zac, each one filled with questions and pleas:“Where are you staying now?“Why did you disappear without a word five years ago? Where have you been all this time?“Tell me where you are. I’ll come find you.“I went to your old place, and the landlord said you moved out.“Can’t you at least respond? I know I messed up, even though I don’t know how. Just tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll fix it! If nothing else, at least let me understand why!”Helen read through his messages, groaning as she flopped onto her bed. Frustrated, she pulled the blanket over her head, only to rip it off moments later, feeling suffocated. Her freshly washed hair ended up in a tangled mess as she ruffled it furiously. “Zac White, you’re so annoying!” she muttered to herself. “I should’ve just given you a fake number.” Unable to hold back her irritation, she grabbed her phone and typed a furious response. “Zac, you’re a total jerk. Messing around

Late at night, Bay Amusement Park had already closed. The manager and staff had all gone home, leaving only Justin and William guarding outside the surveillance room.William didn’t like seeing his boss so despondent. Glancing at his watch, it was already past 11 p.m. He stepped forward and knocked on the door. “Mr. Yates, it’s time to go home.”“Go home?”Justin let out a bitter, self-mocking laugh.Without Emily, did he even have a home?He sighed heavily, closed his eyes, and swallowed his bitterness.He was absolutely certain that the profile in the photo was Emily. He hadn’t mistaken her.But after searching through the surveillance footage all day, zooming in and meticulously examining every detail, he still hadn’t found the image of that profile from the photo.Was Emily avoiding him?Was she punishing him? If so, he was willing to accept it. But after the punishment, could she come back?Justin stood up from his chair.A loud thud echoed in the surveillance room. Wil

At Mistletoe Villa, Haley, Helen and Alex were exhausted after a full day out yesterday. They decided to spend the day resting at home. After breakfast, Helen made a video call back home. Since she had blocked Zac, her phone was no longer bombarded with his messages, and the world felt much quieter. The video connected, showing Evelyn’s side of the world, where it was nighttime, and they had just finished dinner. Sitting on the couch together, they greeted everyone before Helen turned to Wilfred. “Wilfred, we left in such a rush, and the art exhibition is missing a few paintings. Could you bring them over when you come?” “Of course,” Wilfred replied, his rich, cello-like voice carrying a distinct accent that was undeniably pleasant to hear. Haley tilted her head closer to the screen and added gratefully, “Thank you, Wilfred. I’ll send you the photos in a bit.” Every completed painting of hers was photographed and cataloged on her phone to help the gallery organize and

After Helen headed upstairs to her room, Haley stayed in the living room, sitting beside Alex and quietly listening to the brothers’ slightly childish conversation. Most of the talking came from Alex, while Chase occasionally chimed in with a word or two.Alex and Chase talked for quite a while before Haley checked the time. Knowing Chase had been spending a lot of time in front of the computer lately, she didn’t want him to strain his eyes—especially at his age. She ruffled Alex’s hair and gently said, “Your brother needs to rest. Let him go now, okay?”“Alright.” Alex obediently handed the tablet back to his mom and waved at the screen with a bright smile. “Goodnight, Chase!”“Goodnight,” Chase replied.Haley took the tablet and couldn’t help but give her eldest son a few motherly reminders. “Chase, don’t overwork yourself. Take care of your eyes, especially now while you’re still growing. And try to get to bed earlier at night.”“I know, Mom.” Chase’s reply was crisp and poli

She was the only one who wasn’t diligent.Turning on her heel, Helen headed back to her room. She changed into a dress, grabbed her bag, and without bothering to bring any bodyguard, drove herself to the spa.Meanwhile, Zac tossed his phone aside, his expression dejected. “I didn’t mean for it to come out like that,” he muttered to himself. Seeing Helen alive and knowing she was right here in Lincourt City should have been a relief, yet she still felt so out of reach. What should he do? He rubbed his temples in frustration. Matters of the heart were proving far more complicated than the medical world he excelled in. And then it hit him—Alex. That day, he had seen Alex and Helen together at the restaurant. Picking up his phone, he dialed Justin, hoping to get Alex’s contact information. “What do you need Alex’s number for?” Justin asked as he handed off a signed document to Sam. Sam silently took the documents, gave a slight nod, and left the office.Caught off g

Zac frowned. Now he finally understood where the misunderstanding had come from, but he didn’t even have a chance to explain.He pulled up Alex’s number, but just before dialing, his thumb hovered over the screen. He couldn’t act impulsively again. He needed to organize his thoughts and choose his words carefully.A knock on the office door interrupted his thoughts. “Come in,” he said.His assistant entered, holding a file. “Dr. White, this is Miss Xander’s medical examination report.”“So soon?” Zac was surprised.The assistant glanced at the clock. “Dr. White, you’re the one who set the rule that reports should be ready within two hours. Isn’t this what you wanted?”Zac glanced at the wall clock. Had he really spent two hours just sitting here, lost in thought?“Ahem, alright, hand it over,” Zac said, coughing lightly as he took the file. As the head of the department, it wouldn’t look good if his staff caught him slacking off during work hours.“Close the door on your way

The villa showed clear signs of regular cleaning. Wilfred and Haley exchanged a knowing smile. It was obvious they were both recalling the time, five years ago, when she had attended a private art exhibition.“Oh, come on, you two,” Helen interrupted as they reached the parking lot, putting her phone away and abandoning her concern over her complexion. “Stop reminiscing in the middle of the road. Let’s get in the car and catch up at home. It’s only been a few days since you’ve seen each other.”“I’ve already made a dinner reservation at the restaurant,” Helen added. “It’s a welcome meal to thank you for helping transport the artwork.”As the bodyguard stepped forward to open the car door, Wilfred finally set Alex down and helped him climb into the car. Behind them, other bodyguards were loading the paintings into separate vehicles.Helen walked over and gave them a quick reminder. “Be careful! Don’t damage the artwork.” Once everything was securely packed, she got into the car la

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.
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 568
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
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 566
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
