After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 54
Emily wasn’t allowed to eat snacks anymore. Most of her choices had always been shaped by Justin’s preferences, whether it was food or clothing. She tried not to think about it, but for some reason, her emotions felt more fragile now. It was probably because of the pregnancy. Without realizing it, Emily’s hand gently rested on her stomach.Noticing that Emily had slowed her pace and seemed lost in thought, Sean walked back to her, his tone playful as he tried to lighten the mood. “Come on, Emily, don’t drag your feet like that! People might think I upset my girlfriend and didn’t bother to make up for it.” “Sean!” Emily’s somber mood dissolved instantly at his teasing. The two picked up a few more items, including pizza and cream puffs, before heading to the checkout and leaving the store. By the time they got on the road, it was already dark. As the car cruised down the highway, Sean glanced over. “If you’re feeling sleepy, take a nap. I’ll wake you when we get there.”

Sam approached with a respectful inquiry. “Mr. Yates, how would you like me to handle the tabloid articles about you and Miss Xander?”“Tabloids?” Justin frowned, clearly puzzled. He never paid attention to entertainment news. Sam, realizing Justin was unaware, pulled out his phone and brought up the headline, handing it over. “Shocking! RC Group CEO Justin Yates spotted with mystery woman. Rumored girlfriend seen accompanying him to a private residence. Is she the future Mrs. Yates?”After skimming the article, Justin’s expression darkened with anger. His furrowed brows and simmering irritation were unmistakable. “What is this nonsense?” “Should I arrange for the article to be taken down?” Sam asked cautiously. “Take it—” Justin began, but stopped mid-sentence, a thought crossing his mind. He considered Emma. “No, leave it for now. Instead, find out Emily’s travel route and time back to Lincourt City,” he ordered, dismissing the idea of removing the article entirel

Sean drove through the night, finally arriving at the pre-booked guesthouse in the early hours.By the time they arrived, Emily had already drifted into a half-asleep state. Looking over at her peaceful expression as she slept, Sean hesitated to wake her. He eventually gave her a gentle nudge. “Emily, wake up. We’re here,” he whispered softly.Still groggy, Emily followed him into the guesthouse. With everything she had been through recently, the getaway felt like a much-needed escape. Despite Sean’s young age, he had proven to be incredibly dependable.Sean escorted Emily to her room, waiting until the door closed securely before heading to his own. Inside, Emily locked the door, pushed her suitcase to the side, and collapsed onto the large bed. The night breeze from earlier had chased away her drowsiness, leaving her wide awake. She rested her hands gently on her stomach, lost in thought.At the hospital in Bay City, a sudden equipment malfunction had prevented the proce

Justin glanced at the stack of documents piling up on his desk but ignored them. He got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and dialed Emily's number.Disconnected.“Emily, you’re getting bolder by the day!” he fumed.As he set his phone down, another call came in from Zac.“What is it?” Justin snapped, his tone sharp, his earlier irritation far from settled.Zac, unfazed by his mood, chuckled on the other end. “I heard you sent people to Bay City to bring Emily back. What’s more, you’re using some school lecture to target Sean? Justin, don’t tell me you’re jealous. You’ve already split up with Emily. Do you seriously still feel the need to vet who she spends time with?”Justin’s expression darkened at the jab. His voice turned icy. “Who told you that?”“Sam,” Justin thought. “Is my assistant bored with his job? Does he think RC Corporation is some gossip column?”Zac could practically hear Justin’s frustration and quickly clarified. “Relax, it wasn’t Sam. I overheard pa

Sean was always brimming with confidence in himself, and this time was no different.To be honest, Emily didn’t feel any significant changes in herself. Aside from the queasiness she experienced the previous morning, she felt perfectly fine. Even her appetite was great today. If it weren’t for the results printed in black and white on the medical report, she wouldn’t believe she was pregnant.“Did you tell Helen that I’m pregnant?” Emily asked calmly, her eyes steady on Sean.“As long as you go for the check-up, I won’t say a word to Helen,” Sean promised.Hearing that, Emily turned on her heel and headed off. If Sean hadn’t told Helen yet, she would take this chance to end the pregnancy. She had made up her mind and wasn’t about to waver.She quickly completed the registration and payment for the procedure, despite Sean’s attempts to stop her.At the abortion department, a nurse glanced at her paperwork and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, but the department is closed for the

Helen clenched her fist in frustration, declaring, “That scumbag!”Emily chuckled softly. Having someone stand behind you, supporting and protecting you, was such a comforting feeling.She tried to calm Helen down. “Take it easy. I’ve changed my number, so he won’t be able to reach me now. But I’m worried he might send someone to keep an eye on you.” Helen scoffed, waving an imaginary fist. “If he dares, I’ll handle them one by one! Let him try!”Then, an idea struck Helen. “Do you think he’s harassing you because he wants to get back together?”“He’s not trying to reconcile,” she mused silently. “He just wants me back as his hidden mistress.”“You better not even think about taking him back!” Helen warned firmly. “Don’t worry. I won’t have anything to do with him again!” She quickly reassured Helen, wanting to put her at ease.“How’s it going with Sean lately? Is he keeping things lively?” Helen teased with a mischievous laugh.The mention of Sean reminded Emily of somethi

Wilfred boarded his private jet in Merika State, heading for Haven State's Lincourt City. His assistant trailed closely behind. “Sir, would you like me to arrange contact with Miss Walker upon arrival?” the assistant asked. *“Let’s do that giant pendulum ride!” Emily exclaimed, pointing enthusiastically at the attraction. Her flushed face glowed with excitement, her forehead and nose glistening with sweat, and strands of damp hair clung to her cheeks. She was clearly having a blast. Sean handed her a wet wipe with a doting smile. “Emily, you’re pregnant. Rides like the pirate ship or the giant pendulum are off-limits! You’re lucky I let you go on that kiddie roller coaster earlier. That’s as thrilling as it gets!” Emily rolled her eyes internally. It really was a kiddie ride. “How about the Ferris wheel?” Sean suggested, gesturing toward it. The sunset cast a golden hue over the park, making it a perfect photo opportunity. Emily sighed, stealing one last wistful gl

Beneath the dazzling Jupiter Land fireworks, surrounded by a bustling crowd, the sky lit up with bursts of vibrant light.The booming fireworks left Emily momentarily stunned, her mind blank as the sound reverberated around her.But then, she saw the unwavering seriousness in Sean’s eyes. It was a gaze so genuine it struck her deeply.She had always dismissed Sean’s confessions of affection as playful banter, never taking them seriously. Yet, at this moment, she could no longer deny the sincerity radiating from him. It was undeniable, and it shook her to the core.Her heart thudded wildly in her chest, each beat in sync with the fireworks exploding above.She knew her reality. She was an orphan with no memories, carrying another man’s child. Her recent betrayal had scarred her deeply, making her wary of the emotional entanglements of wealthy men. She was scared. She didn’t know how long Sean’s seriousness would last. And when it faded, what kind of devastation would follow?

Zac jogged off in a hurry, not daring to stick around and witness more of Justin’s embarrassment.Justin, having failed to sneak into Haley’s room, had no choice but to sulk back to the guest room the housekeeper had prepared for him.*The next morning, Haley came downstairs for breakfast. She hadn’t slept well—staying up late to work, only to get riled up by Justin all over again. The dark circles under her eyes were impossible to hide, no matter how much concealer she applied.She stepped into the dining room and spotted Justin already sitting at the table.“Morning, sis!” he chirped.He looked every bit the picture of youthful energy, dressed in a clean athletic tracksuit, his expression bright and full of life. He really did look like a high school senior.Haley took one look at his well-rested, cheerful face and felt an unexplainable surge of irritation rise in her chest.She didn’t say a word. Ignoring him completely, she walked to her seat and sat down. Her gaze swept t

After dinner, Haley returned to her room to get some work done. There were a few reports she still needed to read through, so she made herself a cup of coffee for a quick energy boost.She had just stepped inside and closed the door when a sudden force hit from behind, pushing through the door and into her back. She stumbled forward, nearly spilling the coffee all over herself.Her brows furrowed in irritation. She turned around—only to see Justin already halfway into her room, the door swinging shut behind him.He froze, looking immediately guilty. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to!” he blurted out.His voice carried that youthful warmth, clear and gentle like an 18-year-old boy. His lowered gaze and sheepish expression were tinged with a kind of helpless remorse that made it hard for Haley to stay angry.She stepped back, putting distance between them. Her tone turned cool. “What are you doing in here?”Justin took that as permission to step fully inside and shut the door behind him

At that moment, Justin furrowed his brows and stared at Haley with confusion, as if trying hard to place her face. After a long pause, his eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He pointed at Haley and exclaimed, “Sis!”That one word stopped Zac in his tracks. He blinked. Did Justin… just slip into little brother mode?And he wasn’t the only one thrown off. Chase and Alex stood frozen, mouths slightly open. Alex placed a hand on Justin’s forehead, then leaned in to check again.No fever.So why was he calling their mom sister?And now… what were they supposed to call him?Haley's gaze locked on Justin, intense and searching. She scanned him from head to toe, as if looking for a clue—anything to explain this strange behavior. But she found nothing.Justin, noticing her silence, instantly wilted. His lips curled into a small pout. “Is it because I’m useless? Is that why you’re ignoring me, sis?”“Sis?” Haley turned slowly toward Zac, her voice low, suspicious. “What is that abou

Zac straightened up and wiped the last traces of tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.“Haley’s fine,” he said. “Just a few minor injuries. You’ve been out for over two weeks. She healed a long time ago. Right now, she’s temporarily managing RC Corporation for you.“She went on a business trip to that island project you were working on. I heard the scenery’s amazing. Chase and Alex went with her.”“Managing?” Justin repeated, his voice faint.“Yeah,” Zac nodded. “She didn’t accept the assets or shares you left her. She’s just acting as president until you wake up and can take over again.”Zac hadn’t originally known all this. He had only overheard Haley explaining it to the family after she agreed to step in. He had been surprised, even though, in hindsight, it made sense. Justin had written up a will before the rescue mission, leaving everything to Haley. It was bold but not unexpected.Justin lowered his gaze, eyes dimming as he quietly muttered, “Temp

“The building at the heart of the island is a massive wedding chapel,” the staff member explained cheerfully. “The first floor is for the ceremony itself, the second for the banquet. The third floor is reserved for dressing and makeup, and from the fourth floor up, it’s all accommodations. The very top level is the bridal suite.”The more he spoke, the deeper Haley’s frown became. Something wasn’t adding up.“So this is an all-inclusive wedding venue?” she cut in.The man chuckled, shaking his head. “Oh, no, no. This place isn’t open to the public. Mr. Yates built it exclusively for his wife. Just the two of them. One couple. That’s it.”Haley was at a loss for words.Even Alex, the more clueless of the twins, caught on. His eyes sparkled as he tugged at Haley’s hand. “Mommy! Uncle Justin built this place for you! It’s so romantic!”Five years ago—around the time he and Chase were born—their dad had already been planning a wedding for their mom.Suddenly, Alex didn’t feel quit

At 8 p.m., Haley arrived right on time for Jacob and Miss Scott’s engagement banquet.Up on the stage, under the warm wishes of both families and to the sound of dreamy background music, the soon-to-be-wed couple exchanged rings. They followed it up with a string of romantic clichés about love at first sight. Then, under the applause of the guests, they shared a passionate kiss.Just as Sam had said, Haley didn’t need to do much—just show her face. She had no interest in watching the Yates and Scott families put on this show. The whole thing was clearly a political alliance, a calculated marriage meant to secure control over RC Corporation—the very company she was now temporarily leading.She set down her untouched wine glass, smoothed her gown, and quietly left the venue.The car headed toward Mistletoe Villa. Haley sat in the backseat, eyes distant. Sam was in the front passenger seat. Noticing her exhaustion, he pulled out a tablet from his briefcase and said,“President, t

Chase and Alex had settled into a daily routine of their own. Every morning, they accompanied Zac to the hospital to visit Justin. In the evenings, they went home together after work.The world kept turning. It didn’t slow down just because Justin had slipped into a coma.At RC Corporation, Haley was also adjusting. With Sam’s steady guidance, she was slowly getting the hang of the job. Day by day, her grasp of the responsibilities sharpened, and her confidence grew.Everything was moving forward.“President,” Sam said, stepping into her office. “Here’s the compensation proposal for the demolition site. It’s part of the land marked for the international project. The plan was finalized under the former president’s direction, and we just got the government’s approval. We need your signature to release the funds so construction can begin.”He handed her the file, efficient and precise as always. Sam never once got her title wrong. He took his role as assistant seriously.Haley glanc

Haley’s voice was steady and sincere. “It’s true—corporate management and project leadership aren’t my areas of expertise. But from what I understand, RC Corporation is currently working on a major international venture. The overseas partner is Prolux Corporation, based in Merika State.”She paused briefly before continuing. “Prolux Corporation’s CEO is Wilfred—my brother. I also hold shares in Prolux. I believe that makes me a strong bridge between RC Corporation and our international partner, and someone well-positioned to temporarily lead the company.”What?Wilfred was her brother?The shock hit the room like a thunderclap. Whatever doubts they had about her qualifications or lack of experience suddenly evaporated. With a backing like that? No one could ignore it.Compared to her powerful connections, Harry’s passionate speech felt like hot air. All skepticism faded. All except Harry voted in favor.For now, it looked like Haley had secured her position as president—solid a

After finishing his pitch, Harry looked around the room.“I believe that under my leadership, we can take RC Corporation to even greater heights. I’m not doing this for personal gain,” he added, his voice earnest. “My nephew suffered a terrible accident and is now in a vegetative state. I’m simply stepping in as acting president until he wakes up. When that day comes, I’ll hand everything back to him, no questions asked.”Harry silently remarked, “Wake up? A person in a vegetative state doesn’t just wake up in three to five years.”Once he got his hands on full control, that precious nephew of his would never wake up—at least not while he was in charge.Victory was within reach. Harry curled his lips into a satisfied smile, ready to accept the applause.But no one clapped.Instead, Haley’s voice rang out, calm and clear. “I have a document here. Before his accident, Justin gave specific instructions to his assistant, Sam. Should anything happen to him, all authority—his positio
