After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 589
“Alright.” Evelyn paused for a moment, thought it over, and finally agreed.Everyone turned to look at her in unison.She had just brushed Alex off, yet now she was agreeing. No one could figure out what was going through her mind—why the sudden change? Why was she letting Alex visit Justin?Evelyn’s gaze shifted to Helen, who immediately lowered her head, guilt written all over her face. She had slipped up.From Chase and Alex sneaking off to the hospital to the hesitation in Haley’s response, Evelyn had already pieced it all together.“The kids are old enough now. If they really want to see him, they’ll find a way. We can’t stop them. Instead of letting them sneak off behind our backs, we might as well let them go openly.” As soon as she finished speaking, Chase and Alex exchanged glances before lowering their heads. So… Grandma knew about that day after all. Only Richard remained completely clueless. See him? See who? Chase and Alex had met Justin? Such an import

Chase, having spent a lot of time with Richard, immediately noticed something was off. He reached out and hooked his little finger around Richard’s. “Uncle Richard, you still have me by your side.”“Chase is the best. Way better than that annoying Alex,” Richard silently remarked.At that moment, Zac walked in for his rounds, checking up on Haley and Justin’s injuries. Richard, unwilling to look at Justin’s face any longer, found Zac much easier to tolerate. Plus, Zac had mentioned last night that he was planning to upgrade the hospital’s security system—something that interested Richard far more than being in the same room as Justin. So, as soon as the checkups were done, Richard followed Zac out. Helen, however, stayed put. There was no way she was going to let Justin bask in the warmth of a happy little family reunion. She had to keep an eye on him, just in case he tried anything with her sister or the kids. If she had to be the third wheel, so be it. She wasn’t

Justin was surprised. He had assumed the two kids would be easy to persuade, that they would sign the documents without hesitation. But he hadn’t expected Chase to be this guarded. It reminded him of the surveillance footage Zac had sent him a few days ago—a five-year-old child going out of his way to arrange a paternity test. He knew Alex well. But Chase? He barely understood him. Squatting down to meet Chase’s gaze, Justin patiently explained, “These two documents are for shares in RC Corporation. If you both sign here, you’ll receive dividends from the company at the end of each year.“That means a lot of money.” “We don’t need money.” Chase placed the pen back on the coffee table, his expression cold and distant. His demeanor, his features—he was the spitting image of Justin, just a smaller version. Being rejected by his own son stung more than Justin had anticipated. He swallowed hard and tried again. “I know you don’t need money, but this is…” Your gre

If Justin hadn’t brought up Mr. Yates Sr., Haley would have never agreed to let the kids sign. To her, Mr. Yates Sr. was one of the few elders she had ever truly respected. Back then, she had no family of her own, and he had treated her with the warmth of the grandfather she had always imagined—kind, patient, and approachable. Chase looked up at his mother. He didn’t fully understand the complex emotions in her eyes. It was a mix of longing and remembrance. Was it because of the grandfather Uncle Justin mentioned? The legendary business tycoon who had already passed away? After Mr. Yates Sr.’s death, Chase had looked into his life. The man had survived war and economic upheavals, only to grow his corporation stronger than ever. He was impressive. And someone worthy of admiration. Meanwhile, Alex had already signed his name. Haley gently patted Chase’s head, her voice soft. “Go ahead.” “Okay.” Chase picked up the pen and carefully wrote his full name: Jace

Justin's expression shifted instantly, panic flashing in his eyes. She’s getting discharged?“Are you sure you’ve fully recovered?” Wilfred asked, his tone carrying an unspoken meaning. “I’m sure.” Haley’s response was firm. “Mommy?” Alex hesitated, glancing between Haley and Justin. If Mommy left the hospital, what would happen to Uncle Justin? He and Chase wouldn’t be able to stay here any longer, but Justin had only just been admitted.“Alright then,” Wilfred said, “pack your things. I’ll handle the discharge paperwork.” He had a feeling they had things to say to each other, so he left the room, closing the door behind him. “Mommy…” “Haley…” Haley ignored them both, focusing on packing her belongings. “If you two want to stay, suit yourselves. But I’m not coming back to pick you up.” Her voice carried a hint of stubbornness. Seeing Alex lean toward Justin made her uncomfortable. She was the one who had raised them, but somehow, she was the one who d

“I’m not sure, but we have each other’s phone numbers, right? As soon as I’m discharged, I’ll come find you,” Justin said.“Okay.“No take-backs—pinky swear!” Alex stretched out his little finger toward Justin. Justin hooked his own pinky around Alex’s. “No take-backs—sealed for a hundred years!” Alex finally broke into a smile again, then turned to Haley. “Mommy, can we tell Uncle Justin our address?” He was afraid that when Uncle Justin tried to find him, he wouldn’t know where to go. But he was careful. He asked for their current address, not the estate back in Merika State. “Sure,” Haley agreed. Not that it mattered—Justin already knew the exact location of the Mistletoe Villa. Unaware of this, Alex happily grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down the address, and handed it to Justin. “Uncle Justin, don’t get lost. I’ll be waiting at home for you. Just remember to call me first!” “Mm.” That simple response—mm—sounded strangely familiar to Alex. He hadn’t

“Got it, Mr. Yates. I’ll inform them right away.” With that, Steven hurried out, and the office fell silent once more. Justin turned on his computer, immersing himself in work. *Haley stepped out of the car with Wilfred’s support.Back at Mistletoe Villa, three people stood waiting at the entrance, having gathered the moment they heard she was coming home.The second she got out, Evelyn rushed forward—not with open arms, but with a small bundle of sage.She lit the dried leaves and began waving the fragrant smoke around Haley, circling her body with exaggerated care.“Stand still! Don’t move until I’m finished!”Haley’s siblings watched in amusement as their mother “cleansed” her from head to toe before finally stopping.“Mom… what are you doing?” Richard asked, completely baffled.“It’s sage,” Evelyn said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Lately, at the park where I do my morning walks, people have been saying that burning sage wards off bad energy.

Haley nodded silently, her resolve unwavering—just as it had been five years ago when she walked away from Justin. Her life was good now. Peaceful. And she wasn’t about to let anything disrupt that. “And what about Chase and Alex?” Evelyn pressed. They had already met their father, and from the looks of it, they genuinely liked Justin. This wasn’t the kind of fleeting connection that could be erased with time. The bond was there—real and undeniable. Chase. Alex. Haley’s chest tightened. The image of that hospital room flashed in her mind—Chase and Alex, longing for their father. Chase was different from Alex. He was quiet, guarded, never one to express his emotions openly. But that didn’t mean he didn’t feel them. She knew. His subtle glances, the small gestures—things no one else would notice—she saw them all. Because she was his mother. Just like how Evelyn could read her now. A weak, bitter smile pulled at her lips. “They’ll grow up one day. Their

Haley shook her head quickly, flustered. “No… I mean—no.” Then she realized how that sounded and corrected herself. “Actually, yes. I’m just hot.”Helen blinked in confusion. “Hot? The classroom has air conditioning. Was the sunlight from the window hitting her seat?” Helen wondered.Without missing a beat, she rushed over and tugged the curtains tighter, making sure her bestie didn’t get “sunburned.” She still needed Haley to hold onto that top spot. Otherwise, she would lose her excuse at home for going out to “study” with Zac.The pressure and tension of senior year finally came to a close. On the day of the college entrance exam, when everyone stepped out of the test hall for the last time, their faces lit up with genuine smiles—relaxed, free, and full of relief.Haley tossed aside her textbooks. Her summer break was filled with makeup shopping trips with Helen or third-wheeling her and Zac on their study-dates-turned-real-dates.That routine came to an end the d

Haley’s eyes shifted as she thought quickly. “But… I don’t really like guys who rank higher than me on exams.”She gave a light shrug and continued, “I mean, I think we should be focusing on school right now. Relationships can wait until after we get into college, right? What if we don’t even end up at the same school? Long-distance never works, and after a while, we’d probably drift apart. Don’t you think?”Was that a gentle rejection? It seemed like it. Haley wondered if she had been too blunt. Had she left him any dignity at all?They still had a whole year of high school left together. She didn’t want things to get awkward between them. A harsh rejection would only make everything more uncomfortable.Justin furrowed his brows, thinking for a long moment before giving a single reply. “Okay.”Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked off.Haley stood there, completely confused.“Okay? What did he mean by that?“Did he understand what I was trying to say?

Emma and her little clique of schoolyard mean girls had Justin completely surrounded.“I’ll ask you one more time,” she said, smug and unbothered. “Will you be my boyfriend or not?”“No,” Justin replied coldly, his face unreadable.“Hey!” one of Emma’s loyal followers stepped forward, cracking her knuckles and getting way too close. “Do you even know who our Emma is? She’s the heiress of the Xander Corporation. She’s giving you a chance, and you should be grateful. You better say yes.”“What, you want us to beat you up before you agree?” another girl sneered.Justin didn’t flinch. His icy stare locked onto the girl who spoke, completely unbothered by the threat.Emma waved a hand to hold her crew back, pretending to be generous. Then she turned to Justin again, cocky and bold.“I like you way too much to have anyone rough you up,” she said sweetly. “But I heard you’re trying to get into Altiplano University in the capital. Here’s the deal—if you go out with me, I’ll have my dad

As soon as Justin sat down and pulled out the textbook for the next class, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him.“Hey, I’m Zac White,” Zac said.Justin glanced up with a cold look, then went right back to pulling out his notebook and pen—completely ignoring the extended hand.Zac awkwardly pulled his hand back, speechless.“Man… this guy’s seriously cold. What a show-off,” he thought to himself.The class flew by. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Haley and Helen linked arms and headed off toward the bathroom. Zac immediately trailed after them.“Where are you two going? Take me with you.”“You planning on going into the girls’ bathroom, you perv?” Helen smacked his hand away, not wanting their classmates—or worse, their teacher—to get any ideas about the two of them dating.Zac scratched his nose. “Fine, I won’t go in the girls’ room… but I can go to the guys’ one, can’t I?”“Hmph!” Helen huffed, scrunching her nose playfully.Zac clutched his chest

At a top-ranked high school in Lincourt City, the bell rang.Students still lingering in the hallways or restrooms were urged to hurry back to class.Outside, the summer heat simmered, accompanied by the steady buzz of cicadas. Inside, the air-conditioned classrooms offered a much more comfortable escape.In Class 2–1 of the junior year, students hurried back to their seats. Just as the final chime faded, the homeroom teacher walked in, holding a stack of freshly graded exam papers.“For this round of mock exams,” she announced, loud and clear, “the top score in the entire grade once again goes to our very own Haley!”A wave of murmurs and applause followed. “Let’s all work hard and try to catch up to her next time!”She began handing out the papers in order, from the highest score to the lowest.After Haley got her paper, the next few went to her seatmate, Helen, and the student sitting behind them—Zac.“Work hard and catch up?” Helen muttered as she slid back into her seat, s

But what did it matter, even if she still loved him? The pain he caused her in the past was still there, lingering beneath the surface.They had loved, they had hurt, they had been entangled for years. But not every love story had to end with forgiveness and reconciliation.Haley couldn’t pretend the past hadn’t happened. She couldn’t smile and pick up where they left off, as if nothing had ever gone wrong.She would always remember that street in Merika State, when Justin turned away, picked Emma up in his arms, and left her standing there alone.Even if he had mistaken someone else for her, the pain he caused and the love he failed to give were real.And that wasn’t something she could ever forget.She could make peace with the past, but she could never erase it.Her heart ached, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she turned and walked away.*Years later, Haley passed away peacefully in her bedroom at the estate.That same day, Justin had gone out to the grocer

It was just a shame that life rarely worked out the way people wanted it to.*Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Chase and Alex had grown taller and older. Haley’s once-small jewelry brand had not only found its place in the industry—it had grown into a globally recognized luxury label, known for bespoke, high-end pieces.As for Justin, he split his time between Haven State and Merika State. Whenever he wasn’t busy, he would shamelessly camp out at the estate, claiming he was just there to “see the kids.”Eventually, no one even bothered to call him out on it anymore.One day, Haley had a business meeting with a potential partner—a widowed single father. Somehow, Justin caught wind of a rumor that the man had feelings for Haley and was actively pursuing her. Word had it that she was interested too, and they were currently having dinner together at a restaurant.The second Justin heard that, he canceled a company meeting, boarded his private jet, and flew straight to Mer

As soon as Haley stepped into the room, Justin followed right behind her.It was the first time he had ever set foot in Haley’s room—the space where she lived in Merika State.“Get out!” she snapped.“Haley, I just wanted to see you. Please don’t make me leave, okay?”His eyes scanned the room. The walls, the shelves—everything was filled with Haley’s photos. There was even a custom-built glass display case, clearly made with love, housing her pictures from childhood to adulthood. It was something Evelyn had put together just for her, and it overflowed with affection.There were portraits of her alone, family pictures, and right at the top—photos of Chase and Alex.Justin looked at each one carefully, as if he were trying to piece together a life he hadn’t been part of, but desperately wished he had been.Then his gaze landed on a particular photo: Haley in her teens, wearing a soft pink-and-white hoodie with little bunny ears on the hood. Her pale skin, big round eyes, and brig

“Haley…” Justin’s voice was weak. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didn’t even know where to start.“I heard you’re sick?” Haley said.“I… I’m fine. I’m not really sick, I just—”“Take care of yourself. Heart problems aren’t like other illnesses. Just look forward. Let go of the past. Meet someone new. Live your life.”Justin fell silent. His head dropped, and the phone pressed against his ear was clenched so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white. He wrestled with the words for a long moment before finally managing to force out.“Okay.”But he knew. He wouldn’t meet someone new. Without Haley, what kind of life could he possibly call “living”?The call ended. Life went back to its quiet rhythm. Justin no longer clung to Haley or tried to find her. After one more day in the hospital, he threw himself back into work and took over the reins of RC Corporation.They had truly managed to part on peaceful terms.After returning to Merika State, Haley d
