Chapter 321

Author: Hauling Treasures
“Hello, Grandpa White and Grandma White!” Alex greeted sweetly.

“Oh my, what a handsome little boy!” Mrs. White exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy. The smile on her well-maintained face even brought out a few faint wrinkles. “Your name is Alex, right? Come here and let Grandma hold you!”

Overwhelmed with excitement, she completely ignored the “White” part of her title.

Looking at Alex’s adorable face, which bore a striking resemblance to Zac when he was little, she couldn’t help but feel thrilled. Was she officially a grandma now?

“That rascal!” she thought. If he hadn’t kept this child and his mother a secret, she could have been enjoying life as a grandmother a long time ago!

“Wait, your health isn’t great! You shouldn’t be holding a child. Let me do it!” Mr. White interrupted, quickly scooping Alex from his wife’s arms.

Mrs. White glared at him out of the corner of her eye.

“You’re the one with health problems! Always trying to take my grandson from me!” she

    Mr. White was ready to retire. It was time for Zac to take over the company. Helen glanced at Zac with a puzzled expression, her eyes silently asking, “What’s the deal with your parents?”The unexpected meeting had already thrown Helen off balance. Was she now expected to join them for dinner too? Zac smiled but said nothing. Meanwhile, Alex, cradled in Mr. White’s arms, had both grandparents laughing heartily at his antics. Zac took Helen’s hand, trying to guide her toward his parents, but she stayed rooted in place. “Um, Mr. White, Mrs. White,” Helen began politely, “I’m here with my family for dinner tonight, and they’re already waiting for me inside the restaurant. I won’t join you. I’ll take Alex and leave now, but I’ll visit another day.” She turned to Alex and said, “Alex, come down from Grandpa White’s arms.” Mr. and Mrs. White exchanged a look before setting Alex down gently. “Was there a misunderstanding? Or did Zac not handle this properly?” they tho

    Back in the reserved private dining room, Mrs. White began her barrage of questions. “Where is she from? Helen, that’s her name, right? I don’t recall any prominent families in Lincourt City with a daughter by that name.”She continued, “And what’s going on between you two? Don’t tell me you secretly got married!” Mr. White chimed in, his voice booming with authority. “You kept such a major life event from us, your own parents? And you even had a child? How much has she had to endure because of you?“Arrange a meeting with her family soon, get the marriage license, and start planning the wedding. Do you hear me?” The thought of retirement lit up Mr. White’s face. Once Zac settled down, he could retire, spend his days at the park, and enjoy being a grandpa. No more early mornings or keeping up with the stress of managing a company. Zac, now scolded into stunned silence, finally managed to speak. “Wait, wait, wait! Alex isn’t our child! He’s her nephew—her sister’s son! Helen

    Not long after, Alex piped up again, “Aunt Helen, if you’re not going to be with Uncle Zac, who are you planning to date and marry?” “No one.” “Then are you planning to live alone forever?” “I don’t mind! Dealing with you every day is already exhausting enough!” Alex imagined his aunt growing old alone, the scene so bleak he quickly shook his head to banish the thought. “Then, Aunt Helen, when you’re old, I’ll take care of you!” Helen’s forehead twitched in exasperation. “Oh, thank you so much!” When they finally found the private dining room, Wilfred had already arrived. “You two took so long just to find some makeup? Even Wilfred got here before you did,” Richard teased. “Mind your own business.” Helen shot him a look, then quickly glanced at Wilfred. Her heart raced. Did her brother see her and Zac earlier? Wilfred showed no sign of suspicion, calmly chatting with Haley as if nothing had happened. Once everyone had arrived, the server began bringing

    Wilfred’s convoy quickly split into six cars, dispersing in different directions. Justin, in his usual three-car setup for daily commutes, was left to decide which vehicle to follow. “Mr. Yates, they’ve noticed us. Which one should we tail?” William asked, his usual calm, poker-faced demeanor unwavering. “Follow the one in front,” Justin instructed, pointing to a car. The other two vehicles in his convoy each picked a target and followed suit. After several turns, it became clear they had not chosen the car carrying Haley. Earlier, Justin had tried texting Haley to ask if she liked the flowers he sent, but after waiting for what felt like forever, he realized his number had been blocked again. As frustration and heartache welled up, he happened to spot Wilfred’s convoy on his way to a work dinner. “Haley must be with him. Where are they going together?” he wondered. “Mr. Yates, should we still head to the mayor’s dinner?” William asked. The mayor’s team had just called

    Nothing was more important to Wilfred than his sister’s happiness. “There’s no need. I don’t owe him anything, and I’m not going to avoid him just because he’s in Lincourt City,” Haley said firmly, her tone unwavering. “If he ever comes to Merika State, am I supposed to move again just to avoid him?” “But… but what if he finds out about Chase and Alex someday? What if he tries to take the kids?” Helen asked anxiously. “Then we’ll fight him in an international custody battle,” Haley replied calmly, her voice steady. She wasn’t worried about losing in court. Even if Justin won, there was no way he would be able to take the kids from her. She wouldn’t allow it, and neither would Wilfred or Evelyn. Helen stole a secret glance at her sister. What Haley didn’t know was that Alex had already met Justin. Forget about custody battles—her precious little nephew was already scheming ways to secretly meet him. Helen let out a deep breath. Who could understand the burden of k

    Emma had been busy flattering the mayor of Lincourt City at the dinner table when she casually picked up Justin’s private phone. She hadn’t even glanced at the screen before answering. Now, her face was ghostly pale, as if she had just seen a ghost. Justin emerged from the restroom just then. The mayor turned his head to look at him and drunkenly patted the seat next to him. “Justin, come back and sit. Let me tell you, for this international project, the higher-ups are very keen on your company, RC Corporation.” Slouching in his seat, his face flushed red from the alcohol, the mayor pointed upward with his index finger. “As long as nothing unexpected happens, the project is yours. Your company’s performance will determine the entire economic index for Lincourt City!” “You’re too kind. RC Corporation will always rely on your guidance,” Justin replied smoothly, his face as composed and fair as when he first arrived. Not a trace of the alcohol he had consumed showed.

    A flicker of malice flashed through Emma’s eyes, but her tear-filled gaze concealed it perfectly. Justin frowned. Had Haley called him while he was still in the private room? “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” His voice was cold and harsh. Without waiting for Emma’s response, he stormed toward his car, leaving her behind, and quickly checked his phone. “Did she call because something urgent happened? Haley wouldn’t reach out to me unless it was important. Did she have a fight with Wilfred?” he wondered. His thoughts were racing as his thumb hovered over the screen. But just before he unlocked his phone, he paused. “Sam, do you think she’ll be angry and ignore me because I didn’t answer her call right away?” “Mr. Yates,” William reminded him calmly, “Sam isn’t here.” That’s right—Sam wasn’t around. It hit Justin again, the absence of his trusted assistant. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to wait until he got to the restaurant tonight to find out that Emma had been

    In the shared room, Chase and Alex were lying side by side under the covers, wearing matching pajamas in different colors. Chase didn’t really care what he wore, but Alex insisted on matching with his brother. Left with no choice, Chase agreed to wear pajamas with Ultraman prints. Thankfully, it was just pajamas. There was no way he would have worn something like that outside.Alex, unable to fall asleep, turned toward Chase and began sharing a little secret. “Chase, I think the car following us tonight was Uncle Justin’s. He probably recognized that I was in the car, which is why he followed us,” he said, smug and self-assured. Chase stared at him. “Really?” Though he hadn’t met this “Uncle Justin” Alex kept talking about, Chase’s gut told him that tonight’s incident had nothing to do with his little brother. “How do you know it was his car?” Chase asked. “Because of the license plate!” Alex said confidently. “I’ve ridden in that car with him before.“Every time Un

    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
