After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 37
Emma always acted as if she were superior and set apart from others, hinting at a special relationship with Mr. Yates. Yet how could she not know he took private jets for business trips? Emily, by contrast, was far more modest and polite.The gossip about Mr. Yates, Emily, and Emma had spread all around the secretary team. Being on the same floor as the CEO’s office, they had access to all the juicy details.“Alright, I’ll give him a call and ask,” Emma replied, trying to look casual.The secretary left the lounge.It was only today that Emma learned Justin would be traveling to Bay City for business. She had rushed over at noon in hopes of joining him, only to find out he had already left.Emma dialed Justin's number. After just two rings, he picked up.“Justin, why didn’t you take me along on your business trip?” she pouted, a hint of complaint in her voice. “I wanted to be with you. I don’t feel safe without you nearby.”On the other end, Justin rubbed his forehead, soundin

“But you are Justin’s mother, and I’m his girlfriend. You’re going to be my future mother-in-law, so I’m just getting used to it!” Emma replied with a playful laugh. “I’m just being respectful. Right now, I call you my future mother-in-law, but once Justin and I get married, I’ll be calling you Mom!”Heidi’s anger was written all over her face as she glared at Emma. “Emma, stay away from my son! Marry him? Keep dreaming! As long as I’m in this family, you’ll never set foot in our home!”“Oh, you didn’t know?” Emma covered her mouth in mock surprise. “Yesterday, Justin took me to visit Mr. Yates Sr. at the care facility, and he proposed to me right in front of him!”She smiled blissfully, then looked at Heidi with a provocative glint in her eyes.Heidi’s chest rose and fell with fury. Her voice turned harsh. “Impossible! Justin would never propose to you!”“If you don’t believe me, why not call Justin and ask? You’ll find out soon enough,” Emma replied with a shrug, her tone indiff

Emily was speechless. “Where does a kid like him come up with lines like that?” she wondered.Seeing that she couldn’t get her suitcase back, she decided to let him have his way. They walked out of the airport together.“Where are you staying?” she asked.“The WX Hotel.”Emily froze. The WX Hotel was the same one booked for her by the Bay City government contact. She had planned to use the opportunity to part ways with Sean, but it seemed they would still be stuck traveling together.The two ended up sharing a cab to the hotel.Once in her room, Emily unpacked her things and started organizing her belongings.*Ding dong.* The doorbell rang repeatedly.She walked to the door and opened it. “Who is it?”“Emily, is your phone dead or something?” Sean leaned casually against the doorframe, looking exasperated.“My phone?” Emily grabbed it from her bag. “Oh, I forgot to turn off airplane mode. Why? What’s the matter?”Sean pointed to his watch. “It’s dinnertime. Work is important

At the hot pot restaurant, while waiting for the food to arrive, Emily received an unexpected call from Mrs. Zimmer. Surprised, she still picked up. “Hello, Mrs. Zimmer?” “Miss Yates, do you have a moment? I’d like to ask you something,” Mrs. Zimmer said politely and warmly on the other end. “Of course, go ahead.” Emily respected Mrs. Zimmer, who had treated her kindly over the past three years. “Well, Miss Yates, you used to help organize Mr. Yates’ travel clothes. Now that you’ve left so suddenly, I’ve had to take over, and I’m not used to it," Mrs. Zimmer said carefully, her tone cautious.“Earlier today, I took far too long packing his suitcase, and I’m worried it might affect his work in the future,” she added, clearly nervous. “Could you put together a list for me? It would make coordinating his outfits much easier.”Emily froze for a moment. “Is Justin on another business trip? Did he make things difficult for Mrs. Zimmer while she was packing?” she thought.Even

Emily froze for a moment, then nodded reluctantly in agreement. Sean noticed her hesitation and reached out to ruffle her soft hair, deliberately messing it up. “Sean!” Emily snapped, glaring at him. “Goodnight, Emily!” Sean called out cheerfully before darting off, leaving Emily standing there, fuming. *The next afternoon, Sean drove Emily to the Bay City government building. “Wait in the car. I’ll be quick,” Emily instructed. Sean obediently nodded. Her meeting with the government contact went smoothly, and the artwork was finalized on the spot. However, as she was leaving, she spotted Justin. He was walking at the center of a group, surrounded by high-ranking government officials as they headed straight toward her. Emily quickly stepped into a side corridor to avoid them. She waited until they passed before leaving the building. “What’s Justin doing in Bay City?” she wondered. “And at the government building?“Could it have something to do with th

“Weren’t we supposed to text first?” Emily opened the door, only to freeze in shock. Justin? What was he doing here? “Text? Who were you planning to text?” Justin asked casually.Emily stood frozen for a few seconds, her mind struggling to catch up. When she realized what was happening, she immediately tried to slam the door shut. But how could her strength compare to that of a grown man? With minimal effort, Justin pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Justin, it’s late. Don’t you think barging into my room is inappropriate?” Emily snapped, frowning with anger in her eyes. Justin ignored her completely, wandering around the room as if it were his own. He checked behind the curtains, under the sofa, and every other corner, as if inspecting for someone. Sean wasn’t here? They weren’t sharing a room? Justin had spotted Sean in the parking lot earlier that afternoon with Emily. Standing by the door, Emily glared at him with clear displeasure, silently wi

“The changes are done, Mr. Yates. Please take a look,” Emily said in a businesslike tone. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Sean. Emily set her laptop down and walked to the side, deliberately turning her back to Justin before answering. “Yes, yes, I got it. Stop nagging and go to sleep. Goodnight.” Justin’s gaze followed her the entire time as she took the call, waiting for her to return. “Sean?” he asked knowingly. Emily silently cursed. “If you already know, why ask?”“So, you’re with Sean? What, he can’t afford to take care of you? You still have to work?” Justin’s tone was sharp with sarcasm. “Emily, is this how low you think of yourself? Throwing money at him to stick around? The Smith family isn’t exactly poor. Seems they’re not very generous with you, though.” He ignored the design and instead seemed more interested in prying into her personal life. “Mr. Yates, my personal life is none of your business,” Emily said firmly, her face cold. “We’re done,

Sadness and disappointment gripped Emily’s heart, twisting and pulling as if relentless hands were tearing it apart.She stayed motionless, frozen in her work, letting the heavy emotions consume her entirely.She chalked it up to the lingering pain of heartbreak.“Once these feelings fade away, I’ll rise again, stronger,” she told herself. She had already decided to leave Justin behind, and she wouldn’t look back, not in this lifetime. *Justin drove to the train station alone, quickly picking up Emma and taking her to the hotel. He then booked her a separate room. “Justin,” Emma pouted, displeased. “I didn’t come all the way to Bay City to stay in a room by myself!” “Be good. You’re not in great health. Don’t get any funny ideas.” “Fine…” Emma replied with a dramatic sigh, her voice filled with disappointment. As she walked toward her room, she glanced back at him every few steps, dragging her feet like a child who’d been scolded. After seeing her settle in, J

“That’s my son, alright! Hahaha!” Harry exclaimed.*The sky was heavy and gray, thick with the pressure of an approaching storm. The situation hadn’t been fully resolved, and they wouldn’t be heading home that night.William drove them into the city and stopped in front of a hotel. Just after they stepped out and entered the lobby, raindrops began pounding against the ground.The four of them stood at the front desk to book rooms. Before Sam could speak, Justin stepped forward and asked, “It’s pouring out there—I'm guessing you’re running low on rooms?”The front desk clerk blinked, caught off guard by the question. But her professional instincts kicked in quickly, and she offered a polite, practiced smile. “Sir, we have plenty of rooms available. How many would you like?”“Four,” Haley answered for them.Moments later, the clerk handed over four key cards. “Four deluxe suites. Please take these.”Sam helped collect the keys, and the four of them headed toward the elevators.

“Didn’t you say Justin had lost his memory? And that woman—she’s just a paper tiger, right? So how the hell did everything fall apart?”Harry’s expression turned cold on the other end of the line. “What do you mean, what should you do? You failed to handle it, and now you have the nerve to ask me for help? Figure it out yourself!”“Vice President, I only called because I really don’t know what to do!” the project lead said, panic rising in his voice. “You were the one who told me Justin had amnesia! Now that the plan’s gone south, you can’t just throw me under the bus!”Harry’s voice turned icy. “Exactly. You botched something as critical as relocation compensation and delayed a major international project. What do you think the new female president is going to do? You think she’ll just let it slide? You’re lucky if she doesn’t fire you on the spot.”The project lead’s heart dropped.“I'm sorry. Please, I'm begging you. Please help me. I shouldn't have snapped at you earlier

The arrogance the village chief had shown earlier was completely gone now.“Look at the situation we’re in… what are we supposed to do?” he asked, his face heavy with worry.His son was currently in college—a time when money was tight. His family owned a large plot of land, and their relocation compensation had totaled over three million.Honestly, he had been satisfied with that amount. Once his son graduated and got a job, he planned to buy him an apartment outright in the city so he could settle down and start a family. There would even be enough left to buy a place in the county for himself and his wife to retire in comfort.But then, late last night, the project lead had knocked on his door and convinced him—and several other village leaders—to rally everyone into demanding more money. The logic was simple: with so many villagers on their side, if they stirred up trouble after signing the contracts and receiving the payouts, RC Corporation—facing construction deadlines—would

“You’re a woman—you don’t understand. We’ve farmed this land for generations. It’s not just about crops—this is where our ancestors are buried. And one day, we’re supposed to be buried here too. You really think you can just throw some money at us and buy out our whole village?“What about our family graves? Where are we supposed to be buried after we die? You want this land, then you’d better give us extra compensation for relocating our ancestors’ graves and cover burial plots for us too.”Haley almost laughed from sheer disbelief.So now RC Corporation was expected to handle not just their ancestors’ graves, but their own future burial plots as well? What next—arrange burial land for their children and grandchildren too?She raised an eyebrow, her smile sharp with anger. “That’s your only demand?”The village chief raised a hand, trying to sound reasonable.“You’re young and easy on the eyes, so we’ll call you ‘miss’—don’t take it the wrong way. We’re not trying to be difficul
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 730
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
