Justin’s phone rang, snapping him out of his thoughts. He answered. William’s voice came through. “Mr. Yates, the investigation is complete. Last night at 8:30, Mr. Jacob’s car was spotted at the rehabilitation center. It stayed there for nearly an hour before leaving.” Jacob? Justin narrowed his tear-reddened eyes, his tone turning icy. “Send the video to my phone.” Within seconds, William’s message arrived. The footage, taken from the surveillance cameras outside nearby businesses, clearly showed Jacob’s car entering the rehabilitation center. The clips captured multiple angles and included timestamps for both his arrival and departure—right before the call Justin received from the center. Justin’s face turned cold, his expression hard as ice. “What’s the next step, Mr. Yates?” William asked. “There’s not enough evidence. Pull your team back for now and redirect them to investigate something else.” “Yes, Mr. Yates.” Hanging up, Justin’s mind turned to hi

“The chairman of the RC Corporation, Justin’s grandfather, passed away this afternoon,” Wilfred began bluntly. “The funeral is tomorrow, and the memorial service is the day after.” As a business partner in one of their projects, he had already received the news. By now, all major corporations and government officials in Lincourt City were aware. Richard and Helen exchanged careful glances, both worried about how Haley might react to the news. To their surprise, Haley simply nodded calmly. “I know.“I went to the hospital this afternoon to see Mr. Yates Sr. one last time,” she admitted, seeing no reason to hide it now that everyone seemed aware. Richard and Helen’s eyes widened as they exchanged a shocked look. “So… the reason you’re home so late is…?” Helen asked hesitantly, her tone cautious. Haley shrugged, clearly unbothered and with nothing to hide. “Mr. Yates Sr. was kind to me back then, so I made sure he was taken to the funeral home.” She deliberately left

“Then why didn’t you tell me when you saw her? Did you really wait for me to come to you and ask? What happened to your promise to report any updates to me? Why were you suddenly mute today?” “I was planning to tell you, I swear,” Zac replied, sounding pitiful as he apologized. “But Mr. Yates Sr. passed away this afternoon, and I was swamped. I forgot. Let me make it up to you. Do you have time tomorrow? I’ll treat you to lunch as an apology.” Helen pouted. Her anger had mostly subsided after venting, though she was still upset that Zac had kept her in the dark. She grudgingly accepted. “Fine, I’ll forgive you for now. But don’t tell Alex, okay? I don’t want to bring him along on our date tomorrow.” She wasn’t even married yet, and she already had to deal with a little third wheel tagging along. “As you wish,” Zac said obediently. *Haley leaned back in the bathtub, the water around her covered in bubbles. The events of the afternoon had completely spiraled out of

Seeing that Haley planned to stay home with the kids tomorrow, no one pushed her further to join them. After lunch, everyone went their separate ways. The next updates from the art exhibit would be emailed once finalized by the organizers. A few female artists invited Haley to go shopping with them, but she declined and headed to her car. Surprisingly, she hadn’t received any of Justin’s usual annoying messages today. Normally, he would bombard her with texts, but not a single one had come through. She found it unusual. Maybe he was too busy with his grandfather’s funeral and work. She never even read his messages before deleting them. She had blocked his number countless times, but he always found a way to reach her with a new one. Eventually, she stopped bothering to block him. *Meanwhile, Helen was getting ready to leave for her dinner date with Zac. As she stepped downstairs, she found Alex standing in her way, arms stretched wide like a human barricade. “Aun

Richard pleaded, “Alright, alright, stop hitting me! A real man knows when to back down. I won’t stoop to your level!” The pillow slid from his forehead into his arms. Holding it, he walked to the couch and sat down, giving Helen a once-over. “You’re dressed up so nicely. Who are you going to see?” Then, as if a thought struck him, his expression changed. “Wait, don’t tell me you’ve actually got a boyfriend now? You’ve only been in Haven State a few days, and you’re already meeting a handsome guy?” Though Wilfred had never said it outright, he knew his older brother always had a steady stream of girlfriends. Haley had her history with Justin, and now even Helen had a boyfriend. So, was he the only one in the family who had never been in a relationship? “Who I’m meeting is none of your business. Worry about yourself.” Helen checked the time—Zac was already waiting for her at the corner. She locked her screen, pried Alex’s hands off her arm, and turned to leave. Richard

“She’s probably just using that ‘disappearing for a few years’ excuse to cover up having a kid with some old guy,” Xena sneered dismissively. Michelle shook her head, trying to defend Helen. “That’s not true. I saw her boyfriend. He’s super handsome and looks so refined.” “Well, that probably just means the old man dumped her, and now she’s hooked some new playboy,” Xena retorted, clearly unwilling to believe anything Michelle said. Her judgment was firmly set. Lily Quinn set down her fork, her expression filled with exaggerated concern. “We can’t just sit by and watch Helen go down this path. Selling her body is wrong. We need to talk her into changing her ways!” “Why bother?” Peyton Parker interjected bitterly, his eyes dark with resentment. “If she wants to ruin her life, let her. Don’t waste your time.” Back in college, Peyton had pursued Helen, only to be rejected by her in front of the entire school. To make matters worse, she supposedly turned around and got invol

“Let’s just drop it and get back to our meal,” Lily suggested, trying to steer the conversation away. She had already gotten a good look at Zac’s face, and just as Michelle had said, he was refined and elegant. Far more handsome than her boyfriend Peyton, with a demeanor that outclassed him entirely. Lily bit her lip and lowered her head slightly, sneaking a glance at Zac from a 45-degree angle. Her eyes shimmered faintly, giving her an air of delicate innocence—like a doe-eyed rabbit, pure and pitiable. Her current boyfriend was Peyton—the richest person she could get close to back in college. She had spent so much time dropping hints and making advances, yet Peyton ended up falling for Helen, their roommate. How could she not hold a grudge against Helen? And now, years later, Helen’s boyfriend turned out to be even more attractive than hers? It was something she simply couldn’t stomach. Peyton, standing beside Lily, looked at Helen with disappointment. “You had s

Tsk!That fake, self-righteous act was so much like Emma—it was sickening.Helen’s eyes burned with fury, nearly sparking flames. She cast a quick sidelong glance at Zac, trying to gauge his reaction. If he dared believe these snakes like Justin once had, he could go straight to hell, just like Justin.But Zac, as if sensing her unease, took her hand firmly and pulled her closer to him protectively. “Xena,” Zac’s voice was sharp, carrying a chill that cut through the tension, “you spew filth like a gossiping shrew. Is this how the Gibson family raised you?” His usually kind demeanor was nowhere to be seen, his icy gaze locked on her. “Not a single word you’ve said is believable. If I were to believe anything, it’s that you are exactly the kind of person you’re accusing her of being.”Then he turned to Lily. “And you—looking like a toad trying to act noble. Save your fake goodwill for someone who needs it. My happiness is none of your business.” Helen stood stunned, not expe

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

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
