Chapter 310

Author: Hauling Treasures
“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

    Emma knocked lightly before stepping into the CEO’s office. “What are you doing here?” Justin frowned, his face still clouded with irritation from the earlier meeting. Emma approached, handing over a file. With a touch of feigned sorrow, she said, “With Mr. Spencer suspended, I couldn’t find anyone to approve this document. I had no choice but to bring it to you.” She placed the file on his desk and casually slipped in a complaint about Sam. “For some reason, Mr. Spencer rejected this file several times. I revised it over and over again, and each time I had our department head review it before submitting it. He said there were no issues, yet it still got rejected. “Could you take a look, Justin? Let me know if it’s ready for approval.” In truth, Emma had barely revised the document. She had simply adjusted the activity budget to meet the required standards. Justin, ignoring Emma’s subtle insinuations, picked up the file and quickly scanned its contents. Finding nothin

    “Mr. Spencer?” someone called out indignantly, stepping forward as if to knock on the office door. Sam quickly grabbed their arm and shook his head. “Let it go. Sometimes it’s better to stay out of things.”The entire executive team was even more moved by his calm and selfless response. The office door was usually soundproof, but Emma had deliberately left it slightly ajar when she entered, leaving just enough of a gap for Justin’s enraged words to drift outside. Emma, standing with her head lowered, allowed a faint smile to tug at the corners of her lips. Justin no longer trusted Sam and had effectively kicked him out of RC Corporation, vowing never to rehire him. This was exactly the outcome she had planned—the first step in regaining Justin’s attention. In the past, Emily had been the roadblock. Now, with Emily gone and Justin single, Emma’s plan was to bide her time, slowly warming her way into Justin’s life. As long as he remained unmarried, she believed she would

    At the very center of the photo stood Emma, a year younger than the rest. Beside her, shoulder to shoulder, was the real Justin Yates in his college years.His expression darkened for a split second before he caught himself and quickly masked it. He covered it well—furrowing his brows, pretending to study the photo with a blank look, like he wanted to remember something but couldn’t quite grasp it.“This picture… I don’t remember it,” he said, feigning confusion. “But wait—why are you in it, too?” He pointed at the image, his tone naive and questioning.Haley lowered her gaze and answered calmly, “It’s your college graduation photo. From Haven State. The girl standing next to you is Emma.“She’s the one who saved your life. You spent years searching for her… the ‘one true love’ you couldn’t forget.”She didn’t even know what she felt as she said it. Maybe she just wanted to help him recover what he had lost. Maybe that was all.But Justin shook his head, flustered. “No, that’s

    After they finished walking around the school, Justin suggested seeing a movie.According to Alex’s strategy notebook, watching a movie together was a great way to build intimacy—especially in a dark theater, sitting close together. The earlier plan at the school had worked pretty well, so Justin was eager to keep following his son’s guide. Later that evening, he also planned to take her to a bustling night market—more shared experiences, more bonding.“There’s a new movie out. Want to go see it with me?” he asked hopefully.“No need,” Haley replied flatly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to recover your memory? Since we’ve already seen your high school, let’s stop by the Yates family estate. Maybe being there will help jog your memory too.”She wasn’t interested in the movie date. If they were going to revisit the past, she wanted to get it over with in one go so there would be no excuses to keep dragging her around next time. Yes, she was grateful that he had saved her life on t

    “That was my seat.” Justin led her to a desk near the middle of the classroom, pointing it out. “This is where I used to sit. My deskmate back then was Zac.”He blinked in confusion. “Why do the textbooks look different?”Haley flipped open one of the books left behind by a current student. A name she didn’t recognize was written inside the cover. Probably a student from the current class. No wonder the textbooks were different. Justin’s memory was still stuck in his senior year, but those students would have graduated by now. These must be juniors who had just moved up.Still, something didn’t add up. When she found him injured years ago, he had been wearing a foreign school uniform. Judging by the look of it, he must have been studying abroad. So how was he suddenly enrolled in a high school in Haven State?The question lingered in her mind, so she asked. Of course, she didn’t mention the fact that she had found him half-dead in a trash bin.“I already graduated overseas,” Jus

    In the Vice President’s office, Harry sat behind his desk, scowling, his face etched with frustration.The door clicked open, and Jacob stepped in, locking it behind him.“Son, finally!” Harry slammed his palm on the desk. “That little bastard actually woke up! A vegetable! How the hell does someone just wake up from that?!”By now, word of Justin’s recovery and his meeting that morning with Chairman Quinn had spread through the upper ranks of RC Corporation. To be more accurate, the rumors had already started circulating yesterday, the moment he showed up on the executive floor.“Calm down, Dad,” Jacob said, pulling out a chair and taking a seat. His voice was low, his expression unreadable. “Yes, he woke up, but I heard from people in the exec suite that he might have amnesia. They say Sam prepped everything for his meeting with Quinn. Justin was just parroting a script.”“You serious?” Harry’s eyes lit up, the frustration melting into something sharper.“My source isn’t 100%

    “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
