Chapter 322

Author: Hauling Treasures
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

    Chase glanced at the smartwatch, memorized the face in the photo, and handed it back to Alex. “What if he’s just pretending to be nice, and over time, he ends up being bad to us and Mom?” Chase asked. “That’s why we need to check him out first and make sure he’s good enough for Mom!” Alex replied confidently. Neither of the brothers stopped to think about whether their mom might even like Justin—or whether Justin might even like her. If Mom didn’t like him, that was easy. They would find her someone else. But their mom was beautiful and amazing—who wouldn’t like her? Alex then told Chase everything he had done with Justin recently and how they had met in Merika State. Chase nodded, making a mental note of it all. The brothers turned off the lights and went to bed. Alex drifted off, dreaming happily about the possibility of finally having a dad. *The next morning, after breakfast, Helen was busy replying to messages on her phone as she walked upstairs to her room.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
