After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 44
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

At the gynecology department, the doctor adjusted her glasses and reviewed the lab results before smiling warmly at Emily and Sean.“Congratulations to both of you. You’re one month pregnant, and it’s twins! Morning sickness is completely normal and should ease up in a couple of months. Stick to a light diet…” The doctor continued explaining, but Emily’s mind had already gone blank. Pregnant! Twins!Emily was stunned. She wasn’t even sure how she walked out of the consultation room. By the time she came back to her senses, she was already in the hallway. She was pregnant.A month ago, Justin had been very persistent in seeking physical intimacy with her. During those encounters, they hadn’t taken any precautions. “But isn’t the chance of this happening supposed to be really low?” she thought. She had read countless stories online about how difficult it was for people to conceive. How did she end up getting pregnant so easily?“No. I can’t have these babies,” she silen

No one responded to Emily’s thoughts. The embryos were still tiny. She registered, scheduled the procedure, and the nurse efficiently completed the arrangements. The procedure was set for 3 p.m., and she was instructed to fast until then. Sean, determined to stay by Emily’s side, decided not to eat either. Seeing there were still a few hours until the appointment and with no food allowed, Sean suggested Emily rest in the car. As they reached the hospital entrance, they ran into Zac, who was walking toward them. “Emily? What a coincidence running into you in Bay City,” Zac greeted her naturally. “Are you feeling unwell?” He glanced at Sean, giving him a polite nod. “Hi, Sean.” “Hello, Zac,” Sean replied with a slight bow of his head. “Just here for work,” Emily replied casually, brushing it off. “I’ve had a bout of gastritis, so I came to get it checked out.” Her pale complexion, worsened by skipping breakfast and the morning’s procedures, made her excuse beli

At the hospital, Emily lay on the operating table, prepped for the procedure as the anesthesia began to take effect. The overhead surgical light beamed down on her face, its glare piercing her eyes. She rarely cried, but now tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes, soaking into her hair.*On the plane, Justin had just taken his seat. The aircraft hadn’t yet taken off when an unsettling restlessness gnawed at him. His eyelid twitched, and his chest tightened with inexplicable unease, as though something bad was about to happen. He thought back to the night before, pulled out his phone, and sent Emily a text.“Stay away from Sean. If you’re short on money, I can give you some. Stop working.” Immediately after, he transferred one million into her bank account, ensuring it was enough so she wouldn’t refuse out of spite. With that done, he switched his phone to airplane mode, and the plane took off. *In the operating room, Emily closed her eyes as the proce

Justin didn’t see any issue with having two women in his life. After all, in their circles, it was common for CEOs and business owners to have more than one woman by their side. However, his obsession with Emily’s body only deepened his guilt toward Emma. The group exited the VIP terminal and headed straight to the underground parking garage, with Zac and Sam following behind. By the car, Emma clung to Justin, her voice soft and hesitant. “Justin, are you heading back to work again?” Justin, thinking about how he was secretly keeping Emily, couldn’t help but feel another pang of guilt toward Emma. “No, I’ll take you home first,” he replied with a gentle smile. Emma’s mood instantly brightened, and she beamed at him. Zac stood off to the side, watching their overly cozy interaction, and smirked.With a small scoff, he said, “Well, Sam, we’d better head out before we end up as third wheels for your boss.”Emma lowered her head, looking uncomfortable. Justin shot

Justin had already booked Emily’s return flight. Someone would pick her up at the airport, and Villa One was ready for her to move back into. He sent the message, but after a few moments, it failed to deliver. A small notification popped up: Message not delivered.Blocked?Instead of anger, Justin let out a light chuckle. Typical Emily. Switching tactics, he called her using a work phone number. The phone rang only a few times before Emily answered, her voice polite yet distant. “Hello, who’s this?” “I’ve booked your flight. Make sure you come back alone. Don’t—” Justin began, his tone as commanding as ever. He was about to add “don’t come back with Sean. I don’t want to see the two of you together,” but a sweet voice interrupted him. “Justin, dinner’s not ready yet, and I know you didn’t eat on the plane. Here, have some milk. I just warmed it up for you.” Emma appeared with a mug of milk, offering it to Justin with a soft smile. Emily had assumed the call was f

“Hmm, not bad. It’s really good,” Justin praised, taking another bite. “I remember you didn’t like cooking before,” he added, the thought suddenly coming to him. Emma’s voice softened, tinged with a trace of sadness. “Justin, you already said that it was in the past. During those three years in Merika State, when I was living like a drifter. After a while, you learn to do everything yourself.” As she spoke, her voice grew choked, her eyes welling with tears that she struggled to hold back. The mention of her hardships hit Justin hard. He was overwhelmed with guilt, knowing his negligence had led to her disappearance and those three years of suffering. Tenderly, he pulled a few tissues and gently wiped her tears. “Don’t cry. I promise that will never happen again.” Emma turned her head slightly, lowering her gaze as tears slipped down her face.“I trust you, Justin,” she said, her voice filled with hope. Her tone shifted, sounding upbeat again. “Justin, I’ve been f

At the time, Emily had been completely deceived, blissfully unaware of the truth and fully immersed in the sweetness of love. But now, it was all nothing more than an intricately crafted lie. Without the slightest hesitation, she tossed the tie clip into the trash can in the bathroom, just to make sure it was truly out of sight and out of mind. *Knock, knock, knock!* A loud, insistent banging at the door. Emily walked over to open it. “Emily! Why didn’t you pick up your phone? And why was it off? I was so worried you might do something reckless!” Sean stood there, suitcase in hand, his face filled with concern. “What would I possibly do? It’s just a pregnancy.” Emily waved it off as if it were no big deal. “My phone broke. That’s why I didn’t answer. Let’s go buy a new one later.” She locked her suitcase, and Sean immediately took it from her. “Sure thing! How about we get matching phones? Couples’ models?” Sean teased with a grin. Emily gave him a light smac

“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
