After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 349
This was the first time Justin had ever lost his temper with Emma. After signing the document, he immediately ordered her out of his office. Outside in the hallway, Steven hurried over with a sycophantic smile, bowing slightly as he asked, “Miss Xander, what did Mr. Yates say? Do you know where he was yesterday?” Steven’s question was like pouring fuel on the fire. Emma, already brimming with frustration, snapped, “Get lost!” before stomping off in her high heels, leaving the top floor in a huff. “Whoever’s behind this, I’ll find you and expose you, no matter who you are!” she silently vowed.*Back in her office, Emma pushed open the door, only to find Jacob sitting casually in her chair, his legs crossed and his polished leather shoes lightly tapping the air. Startled, she quickly shut the door. “What are you doing here? Get out!” she said, frowning, her expression full of disdain. Jacob didn’t move. Instead, he spun the chair leisurely, exuding the air of an idle

Chase remembered Anya mentioning that Uncle Justin was single, unmarried, with no girlfriend or wife. This made him suspicious. Based on his aunt’s reaction that day, it seemed like she might know something. Could Mommy possibly know Uncle Justin? From outside the room came Richard’s loud call, “Chase, log in! Come play a game with me!” Chase quickly closed the browser, shut his laptop, and went to find Richard. If Aunt Alex knew Justin, then Uncle Richard might know him too. Should he casually bring it up with Uncle Richard? A second later, he shook his head. Judging by his aunt’s animated reaction, it was probably best not to ask. He likely wouldn’t get much out of it anyway. His uncle and aunt were equally sharp-tongued. “Chase, are you coming or what? Hurry up!” Richard yelled again from the living room, too lazy to get up and fetch him. “I’m coming!” Chase headed downstairs, where Richard was lounging on the couch, legs crossed, laptop propped on his kne
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 1
In Merika State, the two of them lay close together on the hotel bed. As their passion grew, Justin Yates’s husky voice, filled with allure, murmured, “Em, how about having a child with me?”Caught up in the moment, Emily Yates replied without thinking. It wasn’t until they were lying together afterward that she remembered what he had said.“A child?” she repeated, a trace of intimacy lingering in her eyes.The look stirred Justin’s desire again. She was a constant temptation to him. Pushing those thoughts aside, he pulled out a ring and slipped it onto her left hand.“Are you proposing to me?” she asked.“Yes.”“Can I finally have your child now?” Justin asked, smiling. His eyes were warm, but there was no love in them, as if he were gazing past her, waiting for someone else’s answer.“I’ll give you plenty,” she replied, momentarily surprised. Proposing in bed wasn’t exactly romantic or formal, but she didn’t mind. She had waited three years for this moment, and it was worth it
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 2
Tears had fallen without her noticing, smudging the fresh makeup around her eyes. Emily glanced down at the diamond ring on her left hand, a sense of foreboding spreading through her. The sudden appearance of this woman might shatter the happiness she had been waiting for. She couldn’t just stand here. She had to know who this woman was. After a moment to gather herself, she headed back to the hotel.The plane flew from Merika State back to Haven State. At Lichfield Hospital, Emily stood at the door of a hospital room, arms crossed, trying to see inside through the window. Justin’s friend, Zac White, the director of Lichfield Hospital, along with other doctors, were examining the restless woman on the hospital bed. Two female nurses held her steady as they conducted their checks.On the plane, her face had already been cleaned, and she had been given fresh clothes.“Emma Xander? Hasn’t she... disappeared for the past four years?” Zac was shocked. Where had Justin found her?

In the hospital’s back garden, the spring night was still a bit chilly, and a cold wind stirred, adding a bite to the air. The flick of a lighter sounded, and two glowing points of light appeared as smoke drifted, blurring their vision.“So, Emma Xander’s back. What are you going to do?” Zac asked, breaking the silence. He didn’t mention Emily, but they both knew what he meant.One woman was the college sweetheart, the first love who had once saved Justin’s life. The other was the girlfriend who had been with him for three years, sharing his most intimate moments, and now, his fiancée.After a long pause, Justin replied, his voice cold and detached. “She was just a stand-in. She could never compare to Emma.”He went on, his tone utterly indifferent, as if he hadn’t been the one to propose to Emily in Merika State. “The role of Mrs. Yates will never be hers. It can only belong to Emma.”In a way, Emily had saved him the trouble of saying it himself when she had brought up their mar

Emily found the remote to turn on the lights, then looked for something handy to snuff out each candle one by one. Afterward, she retrieved her nightgown from the closet and headed for a shower. As she walked into the bathroom, she noticed the ring still on her left hand. She slipped it off and tossed it into the corner of her jewelry box. When she returned to the bedroom, she brushed all the rose petals off the bed and settled under the covers, pulling them over her head.She instinctively lay on the left side of the bed, where she was used to sleeping. Justin would always hold her close, gradually shifting over to the left with her until they were practically glued together. Now, the right side of the bed was glaringly empty. To fill the space, she scooted to the center, tossing the extra pillow onto the floor, finally feeling comfortable.She turned off the lights and went to sleep.Two days passed without any word from Justin. He was likely at the hospital with Emma or busy wi
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 5
People said billionaires were cold and indifferent in their personal lives, switching women as easily as they changed clothes. For the past three years, Mr. Yates had only been with Miss Yates, making him seem like a devoted man. But it looked like he could move on in an instant. Who knew how long Miss Xander would last by his side?Sam had joined the company three years ago, right when Justin took over RC Corporation, so he wasn’t familiar with the complicated history between Emma and Justin.Inside TC Mall, Emily was browsing through clothes, each piece a far cry from her usual sweet and innocent style.“Babe, switching things up?” Helen asked, watching as Emily picked up a long black dress with a sexy, slitted hem. It would look stunning on Emily’s curves.Emily held the dress up to herself in the mirror, unfazed. “Yep, time for a change. Do you think this would look better with a shawl or a jacket?”She turned to give Helen a look.“A shawl, definitely. It’ll highlight your

Emily took out her phone and sent Justin a message. “Stop by Villa One when you have a moment. Let’s settle things between us so you can go back to your precious first love.”After hitting send, she prepared to leave the hospital.“Miss Yates, may I speak with you for a moment?” Suddenly, Emma was beside her, having wheeled herself over without Justin in sight.“We don’t really know each other,” Emily replied, feeling awkward.“Miss Yates, I’ve just been away from Justin for three years. I wanted to ask you how he’s been and if he’s been eating and sleeping well. He couldn’t find me, so I’m sure he must’ve been terribly sad,” Emma said, her frail voice laced with a hint of smugness, as if she was savoring her importance to him.“If you want to know, ask Justin directly.”“He won’t tell me. He’s worried it would make me anxious.”Emily saw no point in continuing the conversation and turned to leave. Suddenly, behind her, Emma’s voice rose in a frantic shout, her tears streaming

The focus was on Haley. Even though Justin had business dealings with him, when it came to Haley’s romantic world, Justin was no different from an object. If his sister wanted something, she could have it, and if she grew tired of it, she could toss it aside like garbage without hesitation. Haley shook her head firmly. “No.” She had a strong sense of emotional boundaries and would never choose someone who disrespected her. *The next morning, Justin arrived at work wearing the new shirt Haley had bought him. Just as he reached his office door, Emma came hurrying after him, heels clicking loudly against the floor. “Justin, where were you yesterday? I couldn’t find you all day,” Emma said sweetly, clutching a folder in her hands. Since yesterday morning, Justin had been secretly following Haley’s car. He had trailed her to the art exhibit and waited until she left. Haley never realized she was being followed. He pushed open the office door, and Emma followed him insi

Haley’s car was parked a short distance from the door. She walked over and said, “I don’t need you to take me.” “It’s dark, and the roads aren’t safe. Let me drive you,” Justin insisted, his tone firm. “The most unsafe factor here is you,” Haley shot back as she opened the car door. Fearing he might follow her, she turned to add, “Enough with this endless nonsense! Didn’t you say all your cars were in for maintenance? How are you planning to drive me—by sitting in my car and pretending to take me? Then when we get there, you’ll claim you don’t have a way back?“Justin, stop with these childish games!” She was genuinely afraid he would pull a stunt like that. Without waiting for a response, she got into her car as though she were being chased by a ghost, slamming the door shut and speeding off. Justin didn’t have a chance to stop her. Watching her car disappear, he pulled out his phone from his suit pocket and called William. “Bring the car around to pick me up immediate

“I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I have some things to take care of.” “Got it,” Helen replied coolly. Earlier at lunch, Haley had also sent her a message, letting her know not to wait. She ended the call. “Is Wilfred… good to you?” Justin’s voice came from behind her, filled with pain. Was she checking in with Wilfred? Did she love him now? Haley turned, her cold gaze locking onto Justin. “Everyone treats me well—except you.” Justin’s chest tightened, the words cutting deep. His face turned pale, and his head dropped as he murmured an apology, his voice timid and full of regret. “I’m sorry. It was my fault. I’ll change. Can you…” forgive me? “Don’t bother changing,” Haley interrupted sharply. “Just stop bothering me.” She hadn’t come here to listen to his meaningless apologies. It wasn’t until Mrs. Zimmer returned that Haley finally escaped into the kitchen, offering to help. Though she wasn’t much help at all, it gave her a moment of peace. *At d

“You’re right—look at me, getting all excited and just standing here hugging you at the door,” Mrs. Zimmer said, wiping her tears and pulling Haley inside with a cheerful laugh. “Getting old really messes with your memory!” “Come, sit down! Hannah, get the big cherries from the fridge and wash them. Miss Yates loves those. Mr. Yates just had them delivered yesterday, and now here you are!” Mrs. Zimmer bustled around, already busy as they entered the house. Haley gently grabbed her hand. “Mrs. Zimmer, don’t go to so much trouble. I just came to see you for a bit. I’ll be heading back soon.” “So soon?” Mrs. Zimmer’s face fell with disappointment. “Can’t you stay a little longer? It’s already afternoon—why not wait until after dinner? I remember you loved my sea urchin ravioli. Stay, and I’ll make them for dinner before you go, okay?” Faced with Mrs. Zimmer’s heartfelt plea, Haley found herself unable to refuse outright. She struggled internally before finally saying, “I have

“I’m not hungry!” Haley looked at him as if he were trash—something not even worth a second glance. She turned away and strode toward her car. “Haley, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad,” Justin apologized humbly, though he had no idea what he had said wrong to upset her. But if someone was at fault, it had to be him. “If you don’t want me to drive, I won’t. If you don’t want to eat Japanese food, we can change plans. Just tell me—what do you like now? I want to know more about your preferences.” He felt like a fool. Of course, she had changed over the past five years. Why was he still treating her as if she were the same person from back then? He hadn’t been part of her life for those blank years, missing her growth and transformation. Now, he wanted to make up for it—no matter the cost. “Let go!“We’re even now, Justin. Don’t bother me again!” Haley drew a clear boundary. He refused to let go. “My car’s with William for maintenance, and I left my phone at the office. I

“This one has a business-style design and it’s sophisticated and professional,” the sales associate explained enthusiastically. “And this one is more casual, giving off a fresh and energetic vibe.”“We’ll take both. Wrap them up now,” Haley said decisively. The sales associate beamed, thrilled at how quickly the transaction was moving. “No way,” Justin interrupted. “I haven’t tried them on yet. What if they don’t fit? I don’t want to trouble you by making you come back with me.” Haley suppressed her anger. So, he did know he was troubling her! If that was the case, then why wasn’t he choosing faster? Justin was deliberately dragging things out, trying to spend as much time with her as possible. He carried both shirts into the fitting room, putting one on before stepping out each time to ask her if it looked good. Haley gave him perfunctory responses. While he was in the fitting room, she went ahead and paid for both shirts, not wanting to give him the chance to claim

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
