After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 305
The woman left, but Emma sat restlessly in her leather office chair, unable to stop thinking about the child in the photo. Who could have given birth to Justin’s child? Over the past five years, the only place she couldn’t gain access to was Villa One. Everywhere else around Justin, she had planted informants. So how had a son suddenly appeared out of nowhere? Judging by the boy’s age, he had to be four or five years old. Five or six years ago… Could it have been Emily? No, that didn’t make sense—Emily was dead. Was there another woman in Justin’s life back then? Or could it have been a one-night stand she didn’t know about? Irritated by her thoughts, Emma decided to go upstairs to confirm her suspicions. *On the top floor, in the CEO’s office, Emma walked up to Lila.“Lila, where’s the child the boss brought in?” Emma asked with a practiced smile, feigning a warm and familiar demeanor toward the boy. Only she knew how forced that smile was. “Oh, you me

Emma turned, her eyes flashing with hatred as she watched Sam’s figure disappear down the hallway. He was clearly using his position to make things difficult for her. It was just an event proposal, yet he kept finding excuses to reject it. Typical of someone from Emily’s era—none of them deserved to remain. Sooner or later, she would make sure Sam was ousted from his position and removed from Justin’s side. She thought back to the first couple of years after Emily’s death, when she had repeatedly tried to pry information about Justin’s schedule from Sam. Yet every time, he would deflect her questions with vague replies and change the subject. What a loyal, obedient dog!Too bad he always stood in her way. Gripping the file, Emma stormed back to her office. With a loud slam, she threw it onto her desk in frustration. She knew Justin’s prideful nature but hadn’t expected him to have such a soft spot for children. All the way back, her mind had been turning. If sh

Zac parked the car at the spot where Helen had asked to be dropped off. “Are you sure you don’t want me to take you to your doorstep? These bags are pretty heavy,” he offered. Helen shot him a glance, fully aware of his ulterior motive. “No need,” she replied coolly. “I can manage these with Alex’s help.“Right, Alex?” Alex tilted his head, looking at her in confusion. He couldn’t understand why Aunt Helen was pretending. Wouldn’t it be better to let Uncle Zac take the bags inside? Eventually, he would become part of the family.Zac opened the trunk and handed the bags over to Helen, one by one. Alex, however, stood there with his small backpack, completely empty-handed. The books and workbooks Uncle Justin had given him were already stuffed in his backpack. There was no way he could let Aunt Helen find out about them. He would have to get rid of them secretly later. *When they arrived home, Haley had just stepped out of her art studio. She was wearing a white apron,

“Is Mom coming with you?” Haley asked. Chase sat quietly beside Richard, his wide eyes glued to the laptop screen as he stared at his mom. It had been a while since he had last seen her, and he missed her dearly. Haley, watching through the screen, couldn’t help but smile at Chase. Meanwhile, Richard kept chattering away. “Mom’s overseeing a batch of experimental research drugs—it’s still in the testing phase, so she can’t come with us. Plus, there’s a weapons shipment needed in Southeast Atlantis, and with Wilfred busy in Haven State, Mom had to step in and take over.”Helen suddenly leaned in and asked, “Then why are you coming here? Shouldn’t you be there helping her?” “I wanted to!” Richard said with a sigh. “But Chase kept saying how much he missed his mom. What could I do? I had to bring him over.” He continued, “I’d originally planned to take Chase along and teach him the ins and outs of weapons trading, but missing this one time isn’t the end of the world. Seeing

At the Gibson estate, the men of the family gathered for dinner after work. Xena sat silently, her head bowed as she picked at her food, a heavy and gloomy expression clouding her face. Meanwhile, Ethan and Mr. Gibson discussed company projects at the table. Mr. Gibson Sr. cast a cold glance at Xena before turning to Mrs. Gibson. “What did you hear from their side after the apology today? Did you meet Wilfred?” Mr. Gibson Sr. cared little about Haley’s feelings as Wilfred was the one in charge. As long as Wilfred forgave Xena, the collaboration between their families could proceed smoothly. Mrs. Gibson sipped her soup before replying, “Mr. Wilfred must’ve gone to the office. Haley was the only one at home. She accepted Xena’s apology and the gifts, but she said any discussions about the collaboration would need to be handled by Wilfred. She doesn’t involve herself in business matters.” Mr. Gibson Sr.’s sharp, hawk-like eyes gleamed. “Hmph, she really knows how to deflect

“Perfect timing. We’ll take him to the airport in a bit and give him a surprise,” Haley said with a smile. Alex, still half-asleep, rubbed his eyes and murmured. Finding his mom by his side, he was disoriented, unsure if he was dreaming or awake. “Mommy, Chase, Uncle Justin...” Alex mumbled as he rolled into Haley’s arms, his voice soft and unclear. He didn’t want to get up. He wished Uncle Justin, Mommy, and his brother could all be with him right now. Haley only caught him calling her name. The rest was too muffled, likely just dream talk, she thought. Seeing him sleeping soundly and unable to wake up, Haley decided to let him continue resting. After all, he had spent hours in the garden playing with his drone the night before, exhausting himself completely. She gently pulled over a nearby light blanket to cover his stomach and kissed his forehead before leaving the room. The entire moment was full of motherly affection. Alex slept soundly until they were already in

In the children’s room, Alex pointed at the big bed in the middle of the room. “Chase, tonight we’re sleeping together on this!” Haley had considered getting two kids’ beds but decided against it since the boys wouldn’t be staying for long. A single double bed was spacious enough to fit both of them and even a couple of adults if needed. Alex, eager to please, helped Chase unpack his suitcase, carefully organizing his clothes into the wardrobe. Then, with a proud grin, he carried over a stack of books he had already prepared and set them down in front of Chase. “Here! This is the gift Uncle Justin got for you—introductory physics and practice workbooks!” Alex beamed, his grin a little sly. He thought he was brilliant: Chase loved books and problem-solving, so this gift would be right up his alley. Once Chase finished the exercises, Alex could conveniently hand the workbooks back to Uncle Justin. “Hahaha! What a perfect plan!” he thought to himself.Unfortunately, Chase o

Chase was still young, but that didn’t stop Richard from irresponsibly staying up late playing video games with him.By midday, the five of them headed to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Chase and Alex were so wrapped up in catching up with each other that Justin completely slipped their minds—one forgot to ask, and the other forgot to bring him up.Meanwhile, at RC Corporation, the monthly meeting was underway. A formal complaint had been filed, accusing Sam, the CEO’s personal assistant, of accepting bribes, selling off company project details at reduced prices, and personally profiting—actions allegedly leading to the failure of several key projects.The accuser, Steven Sullivan, a secretary under Sam’s management, stood at the back of the conference room, passionately presenting what he claimed was irrefutable evidence. His tone was filled with righteous indignation as he laid out Sam’s supposed crimes over the years.To ensure credibility, Steven had prepared a comprehensive

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
