After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 330
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.

Alex had a bit of a vanity streak. Before going out, he always fussed over his hair, styling it like Wilfred’s. Chase pinched his nose and mimicked Alex’s tone perfectly, “If I’m not quick, you will leave me behind!” Since they both had the same childlike voices as twins, the subtle difference in tone wasn’t noticeable. Helen didn’t catch on and simply lifted her chin, walking ahead confidently. “Keep up, then.” Outside in the garden, Haley was watering her flowers. These were the same ones she had admired in the Gibson family’s garden. Wilfred had bought some for their home in Mistletoe Villa and even had more shipped to Merika State. “Hey, Sis! I’m taking Alex out. We’ll be back later tonight!” Helen called, pulling ‘Alex’ along. Chase, now playing the role of his brother, hesitated before adding a cheerful touch. He raised his hand, waving dramatically. “Bye, Mom! I’ll miss you while I’m out!” Haley smiled, clearly pleased by his sweet behavior. “Be good and don

“Sit on the couch and work on this for a bit. Once I finish with these urgent tasks, I’ll come play with you,” Justin said smoothly, his movements practiced and natural. ‘Alex’ took the papers, standing still as he looked up at the towering Justin. “So, this is the Uncle Justin my brother keeps talking about?” he muttered to himself. Chase didn’t feel much. After all, Wilfred, Richard, and even the bodyguards at home were all just as tall. Surveying the office, Chase glanced at the papers in his hands. Alex had proudly mentioned last night that Uncle Justin praised his learning skills during their time together. Chase placed the papers on the coffee table and crouched down, ready to start writing. Since he had just reviewed the physics textbook Justin gave Alex earlier that morning, he decided to write out some physics formulas. Then he paused. “Wait, this isn’t my role right now.” He deliberately scribbled a few errors, remembering he was playing Alex, not Chase. J

Since it was past lunchtime and ‘Alex’ was still a child, Justin didn’t want him going hungry. He took ‘Alex’ to a nearby restaurant on the ground floor for a meal. Afterward, Justin carried ‘Alex’ back to the car. Apart from sitting in the car seat, Justin didn’t let ‘Alex’ walk even a single step all day. At first, Chase felt a little awkward being carried, but he gradually got used to it. Resting one hand on Justin’s shoulder, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of the license plate from the car that had followed them last night. It was the number ‘Alex’ had mentioned.*Thinking that ‘Alex’ was active and full of energy, Justin decided the Bay Amusement Park was the best place to take him. Since it wasn’t a weekend, the park was relatively quiet. And being the CEO of a major corporation, Justin received VIP treatment. The manager handed him an all-access pass that allowed them to skip all the lines.Justin brought ‘Alex’ to the kids' climbing wall, recalling that ‘Alex’

“Uncle Justin, you can call Uncle Zac. He’s definitely with my aunt,” ‘Alex’ suggested with a hint of cleverness. Justin considered this for a moment. That made sense. Zac had dropped off ‘Alex’ earlier in the day. The call connected quickly. Justin’s voice was calm as he spoke. “‘Alex’ wants to have dinner with me. You can pick him up afterward.” “No problem. Just give me a call when you’re done,” Zac agreed easily. However, faint arguing could be heard in the background, a woman’s voice growing louder. “Zac! It’s getting dark! Go get ‘Alex’ back now!” Helen’s angry yell came through loud and clear. Zac hastily ended the call, exhaling as he uncovered Helen’s mouth. “It’s still early, no rush. The kid’s not going anywhere. Come on, let’s go set off some fireworks!” *Justin took ‘Alex’ to a seafood restaurant nearby. He skipped the waitstaff and personally put on disposable gloves to peel shrimp for ‘Alex.’ With the boy sitting beside him, Justin didn’t see it as

“Oh my gosh!” The sudden appearance of William startled Zac late at night."Can you not sneak around like that? You nearly gave me a heart attack," Zac said, patting his chest dramatically. Without a word, William handed over the large stuffed toy, practically shoving it into Zac's arms. Zac sighed as he accepted it. “Like boss, like employee,” he thought. “Both of them are so annoyingly silent. Would it kill them to say a few more words?”As Zac’s car pulled away, Justin remained standing in place, watching until it disappeared into the distance. His usual composed and aloof demeanor seemed to waver, leaving behind a faint air of loneliness. He couldn’t help but think about the child he and Emily had never had the chance to meet. Meanwhile, Chase, sitting in the backseat of Zac’s car, felt a pang of sadness. He glanced out the rear window repeatedly, his gaze lingering as if trying to hold onto the last traces of Justin’s figure. Helen, noticing his demeanor, finally

The locked door wouldn’t budge. “Bring me the spare key,” Haley instructed the housekeeper, urgency laced in her voice. “Yes, Miss Haley.” Inside the room, Alex heard the commotion and panicked, burying his head in the workbook. He scribbled answers quickly, caring little for accuracy—just as long as something was written. The housekeeper returned promptly with the key. Haley unlocked the door and stepped in, finding ‘Chase’ hard at work solving problems. Haley approached him. “Chase, stop for now and come downstairs to eat. Uncle Richard is waiting. You can finish after dinner.” ‘Chase’ shook his head without looking up. “I’m not hungry, Mom. You and Uncle Richard can eat without me.” Then came a small, guilty burp. “The smell of spicy barbecue-flavored chips?” Haley tilted her head in confusion, her eyes narrowing. ‘Chase’ clamped his mouth shut, avoiding her gaze. Haley gently turned him around and pinched his cheek. Her voice grew stern. “Alex, open yo

Zac pulled his car over to the same spot where he had picked up Helen and Chase earlier. Sensing his aunt’s simmering anger, Chase quickly opened the door and jumped out before she could say a word. Helen shot him a sidelong glance, her eyes brimming with silent judgment—at least the kid knew he had done something wrong. Lowering the car window, Zac asked cautiously, “Want me to drop you both off at the door?” “No need,” Helen snapped, her voice loud and sharp. Clearly, her frustration needed an outlet, and Zac had unwittingly stepped right into her line of fire. Leading Chase into the house, Helen carried the oversized stuffed toy they had won at the amusement park. Pushing open the door, she found the whole family in the living room. The air felt tense. Haley sat on the sofa, her arms crossed, while Alex sat beside her, his head hung low. Richard, on the other hand, leaned casually against the wall, clearly enjoying the drama. Chase approached his mother cautiou

“Your Emma claims to be independent but is constantly stirring up rumors with Justin? She’s nothing but a hypocrite, wanting it both ways!” “Emma’s not stirring up anything! Those shameless paparazzi are the ones taking all those pictures. You men are just bitter and destructive when you don’t get your way!” *“I thought Miss Xander attended the funeral on behalf of her department? Why isn’t she in any of the photos?” someone remarked, scrolling through the comments for entertainment. Her connection to Mr. Yates was something everyone in the company had heard rumors about. A coworker leaned in, lowering their voice. “I heard she got kicked out by Mr. Jacob as soon as she arrived.” “Really? That must’ve been humiliating.” “With how chaotic things are in the company lately, she’s become a prime target.” The sound of heels clicking against the floor broke the chatter. Turning around, they saw Emma approaching. Everyone instantly clammed up, their voices silenced as if s

Haley heard the compliments from her colleagues, but she couldn’t muster even a hint of a smile. She had a sinking suspicion that this was Justin’s doing. “Haley, this one’s for you—a deluxe meal all to yourself! Your husband must really adore you!” One of them, clearly pleased with their perceptiveness, handed her the fanciest box with an enthusiastic grin, showering her with praises for her supposed husband. Haley sighed, her frustration evident. This only made her situation more complicated. There was no way she would escape this topic for the foreseeable future. Grabbing her phone and the meal box, she stepped away from the group, avoiding the communal lunch setting. “Why isn’t she eating with us?” someone asked, noticing her retreat. “Seriously? Didn’t you see her on her phone? She’s probably calling her husband. That’s why you’re still single—you can’t pick up on these things. Pay attention!” another quipped. Haley moved to a quiet corner and sent Justin a messa

Someone joined in, “My kid’s the same—always stuck to her mom. If I don’t bring home snacks or toys, she acts like I don’t even exist. They say daughters are supposed to be daddy’s little girls, but mine’s more like a bodyguard for her mom.”The group erupted into laughter, and the conversation shifted to parenting. Those without kids switched to other topics, while Haley quietly moved to her exhibit area and got to work. Somehow, the discussion circled back to Justin. “I stayed until the end of the funeral yesterday, and I noticed the seat for the eldest grandson’s wife was empty. Isn’t there a rumor that Emma is his girlfriend? Why wasn’t she there?” “Probably because she’s still not officially accepted by the family. Word is she’s just a girlfriend for now.” “Wait, isn’t she supposed to be Justin’s college sweetheart? Didn’t she already meet his family ages ago? Why hasn’t she locked it down yet?” “Well, here’s the thing—I heard she went missing overseas for a few ye

Haley eventually let Justin into the car—not because she wanted to, but because she was running late. Thankfully, RC Corporation’s headquarters was on the way to the art exhibition, so it didn’t require a detour. When the car stopped across from the building, Haley unlocked the doors and said coldly, “Get out.” “Do you want to come up for a bit? I still have…” He wanted to tell her about the traces of her that still lingered in his office. “Can you stop wasting time? I’m going to be late!” she interrupted, her impatience radiating from every word. “Oh… okay. Then I’ll head up,” Justin said hesitantly, looking like a scolded child. As he stepped out of the car, he turned back and added, “Thank you.”Haley closed the door without a word. Justin stood by the curb, watching her car like he was waiting for something.Haley noticed him lingering in her rearview mirror and slammed the gas, leaving him in a cloud of exhaust.As she drove, she rolled down the windows to air out t

Wilfred left early this morning.“He must be off to see that other woman!” Justin thought. He was sure of it. He was about to instruct William to follow when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Haley stepping out of her house. Justin quickly jumped out of the car and rushed to Haley, positioning himself directly in her path. He bent slightly, his tone pleading.“Haley, I was wrong! Please, don’t change your number, okay?”It had taken him so long to track down her contact information, and the thought of losing touch with her again was unbearable. Not even once—he couldn’t let it happen again.“I promise, I’ll cut down on the texts and calls. Just… promise me you won’t shut me out.”His tall frame now seemed slouched, defeated, as if he were anchoring himself there, unwilling to move until she agreed.Haley frowned, watching his odd behavior. Was he losing it? Had he seriously spent the night in his car, parked on the side of the road?She frowned, noticing his

“Knock, knock.” The sound of knocking echoed through the room.Haley put down her phone and got up to open the door. “Wilfred?” Seeing it was Wilfred, she stepped aside to let him in. “There was something off about Justin at the funeral today,” Wilfred said, skipping any explanation for his presence at the event. Haley didn’t bother to ask. “He wasn’t just hostile toward me. He seemed unusually focused on everything I was doing. Has he been giving you trouble?” he asked, his concern evident. Haley sighed and gave a faint, helpless smile. “He misunderstood. He thinks you and I are together, and that we even have a child.” Since Wilfred had gone out of his way to ask, she decided not to keep it from him. Wilfred’s brows furrowed as his gaze sharpened. Justin was trying to get back into Haley’s life—that much was obvious. In this area, men understood each other all too well. “What are your thoughts?” he asked, his tone careful but firm. Truthfully, he didn’t wan

Helen had completely forgotten about that. Quickly, she raised her hand as if taking an oath. “But don’t worry, sis. Zac promised me he wouldn’t say anything. I even threatened him. If he dares, I’ll disappear again, just to teach him a lesson!” “Yeah, right,” Richard scoffed, his face full of doubt. “Men’s promises are like fairy tales. You actually believe him? You’re already married. Where are you going to run to?” “Why are you so hostile toward him? Are you jealous that he’s got someone and you don’t?” Helen retorted, suddenly energized as she turned the tables on him. “Jealous? Of him? Me?” Richard sneered. “Do you think I can’t get a girlfriend?” “Then go get one already, you perpetual bachelor! Haha!” she taunted, sticking out her tongue at him. “Enough, Helen!” Haley’s sharp voice cut through their bickering. Haley sighed, a headache beginning to form. “It’s fine,” Wilfred interjected, offering a calming presence. “It’s only a matter of time before Zac c

Alex peeked through the barely opened door, his little bottom wiggling as he tried to catch a better view. Seeing the adults heading toward the dining room, he closed the door and plopped down beside his brother.“So, now that Uncle-in-law Zac and Aunt Helen are married, does that mean we can go hang out with Uncle Justin all the time? Uncle Zac and Uncle Justin are good buddies, and Mom and Aunt Helen are besties. They’re a perfect match!” Alex’s excitement was palpable, and he had adjusted to calling Zac "Uncle-in-law" with surprising ease.Chase stayed silent, giving his overly enthusiastic little brother a side-eye. Justin was likely their biological father. How could Alex have met him so many times and not noticed anything unusual? Chase had started piecing things together after their visit to the hospital and meeting Mr. Yates Sr. Those encounters had raised suspicions. In the past couple of days, Chase had been digging through information online, and it seemed increasing

On the second floor, Alex quietly cracked open the door just enough to peek out with one eye, looking downstairs. “It really is Uncle Zac!” Alex whispered excitedly. “What are they talking about? Uncle Richard looks so worked up. Are they interrogating Uncle Zac?” he added. “I don’t know,” Chase replied in an equally hushed tone. Alex pulled back slightly and tilted his head, trying to press his ear closer to the door to catch snippets of the conversation. “What does getting a marriage license mean?” Chase gave his younger brother a look of disbelief. For someone who constantly nagged about finding their mom a boyfriend, how could he not know this basic thing? In fairness, it wasn’t entirely Alex’s fault. The shows he watched mostly focused on couples falling in love, fighting, and making up—they never really got into the technicalities of marriage. Patiently, Chase explained, “It means two people in love register their marriage and become legally recognized as
