After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 354
Jacob’s hand slid along the seam of Emma’s dress, slipping underneath. Emma struggled, unwilling to partake in such a display in front of the bedridden old man. Jacob paid no attention to her resistance, continuing his actions without hesitation. On the hospital bed, Mr. Yates Sr. lay motionless, his wide, furious eyes fixed on them. His mouth hung crookedly open, emitting guttural growls of rage. Though paralyzed, his body jerked and strained in frustration, as if desperate to rise and reprimand his disgraceful grandson. The heart monitor beside the bed began to beep erratically, its lines spiking wildly. The shrill alarm echoed through the room. Emma shoved at Jacob with all her strength. “Stop it! Let’s go! Someone’s going to come in and see us!” Jacob finally lifted his head, glancing at the furious Mr. Yates Sr. He adjusted Emma’s clothes before leading her out of the room. Not long after they left, the elderly caretaker, who had been sleeping in the next room

Stella straightened her back, her tone full of self-righteousness. “Heidi, that’s not fair! Harry is upset because Dad is seriously ill. What’s wrong with him crying? But you, talking about death so casually, are you hoping for Dad to pass away sooner?” “You—” Heidi was so furious she was momentarily speechless, pointing at Stella for a long time without finding the words to respond. Justin’s cold stare silenced Stella instantly. Just then, the doctor emerged from the examination room, mask in place. “The patient is stable for now.” “Thank goodness!” Heidi exhaled in relief, looking upward and clasping her hands in gratitude.The doctor hesitated before continuing. “The episode was caused by acute emotional distress, which led to a sudden onset of symptoms,” he explained gently. “Given the patient’s age, even if he recovers from this, his time may be limited. I recommend the family start making preparations.”Noticing the hospital director, Zac, waiting alongside the fami

“They better not stay and end up stressing Mr. Yates Sr. to death,” Zac thought to himself, keeping the remark private. The internal dynamics of the Yates family might not be apparent to outsiders, but Zac, as a semi-insider, understood them all too well. Justin staying around wasn’t a concern. His worries were directed at Harry and Stella. The tense atmosphere lingered until Justin turned and led Heidi away. Only after seeing the bodyguards stationed outside the hospital room, preventing entry, did Harry and Stella reluctantly leave the hallway. Zac instructed the night nurse to finalize the necessary paperwork, then caught up with Justin. “Mrs. Yates, I need a word with Justin,” Zac said. Heidi nodded. “Go ahead.” Justin and Zac stepped into the stairwell. Justin pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. Zac, following his lead, lit one as well. Exhaling a puff of smoke, Zac said, “Mr. Yates Sr. doesn’t have much time left. Be prepared, and don’t l

“Emma’s been with him for five years?” Heidi thought.She turned sharply, her glare piercing as she fixed her son with a questioning look. Didn’t he promise there would be no involvement with Emma anymore?Justin’s brows furrowed, his gaze sharp and icy as he shot a cutting look at Jacob. In a firm, measured tone, he said, “No. She and I have no... relationship.”“It’s not like that, Mr. Jacob!” Emma quickly interjected, her tone anxious, her expression pitiful as she rushed to deny it. But her demeanor, coupled with her words, only made it seem like she was trying to cover up the truth. Justin’s displeased gaze fell on her, making it clear he wasn’t happy she had spoken up. Her explanation only made things worse. Meeting his eyes, Emma couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong. Feeling even more wronged, she lowered her head in silence. Heidi rolled her eyes. She had no patience for such theatrics. “Always crying around Justin like she’s been wronged, and then turning in

“How old was Justin when he took over the company? He had no experience and hadn’t contributed a thing. Meanwhile, you worked yourself to the bone for the company, only for it to become someone else’s prize. Think about yourself, but more importantly, think about your son. Do you really want Jacob to always live in Justin’s shadow? Scraping by on the crumbs Justin decides to toss his way?”Stella’s voice grew more heated as she spoke, her emotions bubbling over.Ten years ago, the company should have been theirs, but it was handed to Justin for nothing. Now that Mr. Yates Sr. was about to die, they were merely reclaiming what rightfully belonged to them. What was so wrong about that? Harry remained silent, his eyes darting as his thoughts churned. His drooping eyelids, a result of age, did little to hide the calculating glint in his gaze. “Hey! Say something!” Stella snapped, rushing after her husband. She couldn’t believe she had married such a spineless man. *Heidi

Jacob slid his hands into his pockets, a faint smirk curling at the corners of his mouth. “What’s this? You were scared stiff at the rehab center, and now you’re cursing my grandfather?” Emma frowned. “Can you take this seriously for once? He’s already in the hospital because of you. Either he dies and takes our secret to the grave, or he recovers and drags us both down with him!” Her tone sharpened as she snapped, “Don’t tell me you’re suddenly getting sentimental and playing the family card. You’ve got three lives to lose, while I’ve only got one!”Jacob chuckled softly, lowering his head to meet her gaze. “Relax. I already said I’d handle it.” A car pulled up, and Emma threw him a final warning. “Make sure you wipe the rehab center’s security footage clean.”She turned to open the car door, but Jacob grabbed her wrist, spinning her around to face him. Before she could react, he leaned down and kissed her—a brief, deliberate act. Releasing her, he smirked mischievously. “

“Oh, so that’s what you’ve been planning this whole time. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Stella’s annoyance melted away as she realized her husband was still on her side. She immediately offered, “My dad knows Mr. Yates Sr.’s lawyer. First thing in the morning, I’ll have him set up a meeting for you.”The cloud over Harry’s face lifted, and he kissed her cheek in excitement. “I knew marrying you was the right choice!”Stella beamed, playfully swatting his arm. “We’ve been married for years. Aren’t you worried someone might see?”“So what if they do? And anyway, who’s around this late at the hospital?” Stella’s smile grew wider at Harry’s comment, her mood visibly lifting.“By the way, where’s Jacob? Didn’t he say he’d be here? We’re about to leave, and he hasn’t shown up yet.” Growing concerned, she pulled out her phone to call him.The phone rang a few times before the call was abruptly declined.“What’s he up to now?” Stella muttered, frowning at the screen. “Don’t tell me h

Not long after the others had left, Justin’s phone buzzed. “Mr. Yates, the surveillance footage from the rehabilitation center was sent for upgrades on Monday. As of now, there’s no active monitoring in the entire facility,” William reported. William wasn’t at Lichfield Hospital. He had been sent by Justin to investigate the cause of Mr. Yates Sr.’s acute distress. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. Justin’s gaze turned cold as he looked out at the dark shadows cast by the trees. “Check the nearby businesses with surveillance cameras. See if any of them caught something unusual.” “Understood.” Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Stella was still venting her frustration. “Did you see how eager he was to play the devoted grandson? He’s just like his dead father, always buttering people up for the sake of money!” “Can you stop for once?” Harry snapped, irritated by her constant complaining. He waved her off. “Go home first. Jacob and I have things to discuss.” “What

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.
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 568
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
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 566
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
