After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 335
“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

“Aunt Helen, we know we were wrong.” Chase took the lead and apologized immediately. Helen, caught off guard by his quick admission, hesitated for a moment. Then, gripping the baseball bat, she swung it dramatically through the air, venting her frustration. “You two listen up! From now on, don’t even think about asking me to take you out anywhere! I won’t do it! If you want to spill my secrets to your mom, go ahead, but don’t think you’ll get away with it. I’ll tell her all about how you two have been secretly trying to find her a boyfriend!”Earlier, when Helen moved the chair, she noticed Alex’s collection of reports evaluating different men on the desk.Justin Yates, that insufferable man, had even received a top score. Unbelievable! Absolutely outrageous!With a final huff, Helen threw the baseball bat into the toy box and stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her.Alex and Chase exchanged a glance. Alex shrugged dramatically and spread his hands. “See? I knew

Not long after, the organizer of the art exhibition entered the meeting room, accompanied by a young woman. “Let me formally introduce the legendary artist Haley, one of the most renowned contemporary artists in the world! Please give her a warm round of applause!” The organizer’s voice was full of excitement. “Hello, everyone,” Haley greeted with a polite smile. The seated attendees immediately rose to their feet, clapping enthusiastically. They hadn’t expected the iconic Haley to be so young and beautiful, let alone someone who appeared to have Havenese roots. While their faces radiated excitement, their minds were filled with surprise. The organizer gestured for everyone to settle down. “Haley lives in Merika State, and it’s truly an honor to have her join this year’s exhibition. I hope everyone can assist her over the next few days, especially with moving artwork and equipment.” After all, framed paintings for exhibitions can be heavy. “Of course!” someone i

“I… I didn’t mean to,” Justin said cautiously, his voice tinged with unease. A car had just sped past, splashing through a puddle left behind by last night’s rain. The muddy water had sprayed all over Justin’s white shirt, leaving dark, wet splotches glaringly visible on his back. Justin didn’t seem to care. His only concern was Haley, standing beside him. Behind them, the doors of the exhibition hall opened, and a group of artists spilled out, chatting animatedly. “Since it’s lunchtime and everyone’s here, why don’t we head to the restaurant nearby and grab a bite?” one of them suggested. “We can also discuss our individual designs for the exhibition.” Another chimed in, “Oh, Miss Haley, you’re here too! We were just saying we wanted to invite you to join us, and it turns out you haven’t gone far. Perfect timing—let’s all go together!” Before Haley could respond, the artist’s gaze landed on Justin standing beside her. His eyes flickered with recognition. “Mr. Yate

Justin shook his head. “I’m not getting out!” If he got out, she would just run away again. He quickly slammed the car door shut and locked it, turning around to buckle his seatbelt. “Get out!” Haley shouted angrily. “Don’t dirty up my car!” Justin straightened up instinctively, making sure his back didn’t touch the seat. “Haley, I... I didn’t mean to.” His voice was pitiful and hesitant, like someone too timid to fight back after being scolded. Outside the car, people exchanged puzzled glances. “Why is Mr. Yates getting in her car? Does he know Miss Haley?” “Well, if Mr. Yates isn’t coming with us, let’s go.” “Yeah, let’s go already! I’m starving.” Haley glanced out the window and saw the others leaving. She raised her voice, no longer holding back. “Justin Yates, get out of my car right now!” She didn’t want the hassle of dealing with someone as high-maintenance as him. “So now you’re done pretending you don’t know me?” he asked, referring to the b

Haley was rendered speechless. Her fingers froze mid-scroll. If she ordered a custom shirt for him now, it would take at least a week before he could wear it. Her pale fingers gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Justin was doing this on purpose! Haley put down her phone with a cold expression, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car, heading toward the nearest mall. Justin’s lips curled into a small, triumphant smile. The car moved quietly along the road. Haley focused on driving, her eyes locked on the road ahead, treating the man beside her as if he didn’t exist. Justin suddenly broke the silence. “Back then… you were pregnant. Is that child… still okay?” Haley slammed on the brakes at a red light, and the car came to an abrupt halt. Justin’s body lurched forward slightly. She turned her head, her icy gaze locking onto him, her voice even colder. “How do you know about that?” “The hospital called to reschedule your surgery, and I an

The land relocation and planning process hadn’t just started today. Measurements were taken and notices were issued over two weeks ago. The compensation price had been discussed and agreed upon in advance. No one had raised objections.Two weeks should have been plenty of time for the villagers to find a new place to live and move out. So why had they waited until after the money was paid to suddenly cause a scene?“This... it’s a long story,” the project lead said awkwardly. “President, it’ll be easier if you come see for yourself.”As he spoke, he led them forward into the crowd.“Make way! Make way! This is the president of our corporate headquarters. If you have any concerns, tell her directly. Whatever we can do, we’ll do our best to meet your needs!”Hearing that, Haley shot a sharp look at his back, clearly displeased. She made a mental note of it and then turned her attention back to the villagers surrounding them.The four of them followed the project lead to a makeshi

“Something happened?” Haley gasped, then quickly grabbed the still-confused Justin and headed out to meet Sam.“Wait, you’re just leaving?” Helen called out as the two of them rushed off, saying it was a company emergency. “You haven’t even finished picking things out! Are you coming back for dinner or not?”Meanwhile, Alex, sitting on the carpet, squinted happily as he watched his mom pull Uncle Justin by the wrist. His face lit up with that unmistakable shipping-their-romance expression. In his mind, their relationship was definitely making progress!*At RC Corporation’s headquarters, by the time Haley and Justin arrived, Sam was already waiting with a stack of documents in hand, flipping through them as he stood by.“President, thank goodness you’re here.”“What’s going on?” Haley asked urgently.“It’s the international project site,” Sam began. “The land acquisition contracts were all signed today, and the compensation money was deposited into the villagers’ accounts.

A message notification chimed—it was a batch of photos from the private investigator they had hired. The pictures documented Justin and Haley’s entire outing that day.There were shots of the school building, the classroom, the playground, the garden, the restaurant, and even the front of the Yates family estate. In every candid photo, Justin looked like a child—his behavior was playful and immature, his expression wide-eyed and innocent.The investigator soon followed up with another message. “I couldn’t get inside the Yates estate, only managed to get shots from outside.”One photo showed Justin opening the passenger door and getting in, while Haley sat in the driver’s seat.Harry narrowed his eyes, cold and dangerous, and passed the phone to Jacob. His voice dripped with menace. “Looks like Justin really has no memory left. Hmph. A tiger who’s forgotten how to fight might as well be a housecat.”Jacob’s tone was just as ruthless. “We need to act fast. We can’t afford to wait

“So really, I should be thanking you,” Justin said softly. “For giving birth to Chase and Alex… for giving me a family, and a home again.”He pulled her into a tighter hug, so tight it was like he wanted to merge her into himself, to never let her go.For once, the tension between them faded into a rare calm. Haley didn’t push him away right away. It was as if she was slowly beginning to accept him.Only after the heavy emotions settled did Haley gently pull away. She got into the car and drove off, heading toward the city.As the sky darkened, she didn’t drive back to Mistletoe Villa. Instead, she stopped in front of a restaurant they used to visit often—back when she was still Emily Yates, and stayed by Justin’s side as his lover.Justin blinked, clearly surprised and caught off guard. A flicker of recognition flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it, replacing it with a confused, innocent look.“Sis, weren’t we going to the night market to get your favorite snacks? Why’d we

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
