After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 309
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

Justin’s expression darkened, his face like a storm cloud. The executives seated below the conference table were relentless, their voices incessant. “Mr. Spencer, words alone aren’t enough. You need to produce evidence to prove your innocence!” Mr. Ziegler, seized the moment to make things difficult for Sam, his opportunistic smirk barely concealed. “Just like Mr. Sullivan did—lay out all your evidence from the past few years in an organized report for us to review. Otherwise, your explanation carries no weight!” he added.Sam’s gaze was ice-cold as he glanced over. He knew exactly what was happening. Producing evidence to clear his name required time, and Mr. Ziegler’s public demand during the meeting was a deliberate attempt to humiliate him. “Exactly! Such a waste of the trust Mr. Yates has shown you all these years,” chimed in another executive, sparking a chain reaction among the others. “Anyone who doesn’t prioritize the company’s interests has no business sitting

Emma instinctively recoiled from Jacob’s proximity, the scent of his female secretary’s perfume clinging to him, further deepening her disgust. It was a natural repulsion, as if her instincts rejected his entire presence. Her voice was cold, laced with warning. “There are surveillance cameras in the conference room. I suggest you rein in your behavior. Don’t create unnecessary trouble for us.” “Oh, really? You were anything but reserved last night in my bed,” Jacob sneered, leaning in closer, his breath brushing against her lips. Jacob had just returned from a business trip to another city the night before, and the memory of their time together was still fresh in his mind. Overwhelmed by desire, he had wasted no time summoning Emma to his place for a night of unbridled passion. She had been an eager participant, and the thought of her enthusiasm lingered vividly in his mind. After their night together, the two had carefully laid out the final steps of today’s exposé—a plan

Helen was so furious she nearly swung at Richard. Her hand stopped halfway, and suddenly, she thought of Zac. Could it have been him who sent the flowers? That overly cheesy line—it did sound like something he would say. She hesitated, tossed the card onto the table, and reached for her phone to message him for confirmation. Did he follow her home yesterday? That idiot Zac! Just as her fingers brushed the phone, four pairs of wide eyes turned to look at her all at once. “Ahem, I don’t even have a boyfriend. Who would send me flowers? They’re probably a mistake or meant for Haley,” Helen blurted, awkwardly brushing it off, her expression slightly uneasy. Alex, who knew the truth, sat across from her with a mischievous grin, watching his aunt with a look that screamed, “I know everything.”Helen narrowed her eyes, shooting him a warning glance that said, “Don’t you dare spill anything.”If Haley had thought to open the card and take a closer look at the handwriting

What Justin hadn’t expected was that Haley and Wilfred were actually living together. Of course, it made sense—Wilfred wasn’t just supporting her for nothing. But Justin wasn’t about to give up. Even if Emily had changed her name to Haley, and even if she and Wilfred had shared a relationship, he didn’t care. Not only did he intend to undermine Wilfred, but he also planned to take Haley back. “That’s enough. You can leave now,” Justin said, dismissing Sam with a wave. Sam nodded and turned to leave but paused and turned back. “Mr. Yates, what about the investigation team?” “Let them continue. In the meantime, take your vacation days for this year,” Justin replied coldly. “Understood.” Sam rarely took vacations, let alone holidays. His work hours almost perfectly mirrored Justin’s. If Justin didn’t rest, neither did he. For any unused leave, RC Corporation compensated employees with triple pay, meaning Sam had earned a substantial amount over the years. Now, he w

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
