After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 611
Jacob’s expression darkened, his grip tightening as he growled, “Emma, have you forgotten who cut off your hand? Who took pity on you and gave you a place to stay? Who paid for your prosthetic?” Emma’s right hand was now a fully functional prosthetic. It was Jacob who had spent a fortune getting it for her. He was also the one who took her in after Justin had thrown her out. But what did any of that have to do with what she just said? Why was he so angry? She wanted to crack open his skull and see if it was filled with anything other than garbage. If she had any other option, she never would have turned to Jacob. With his intelligence, how could he possibly compete with Justin? “Justin publicly admitted he has a son! He legalized and notarized the will stating that your grandfather’s shares would go to his great-grandson!” Emma shouted, her voice filled with rage. What?! Jacob instantly let go of her chin, his expression darkening as the weight of the situat
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 612
In contrast to his younger brother’s excitement, Chase remained much calmer. He didn’t look like someone reading their paternity test results—more like he was reviewing someone else’s. Still, there was a seriousness in his eyes as he focused on the screen. The report was short, only two pages. The first detailed the genetic analysis, while the last half-page contained the results. Probability calculation: 99.9999%. The test supports that [XXX] is Alec Walker’s biological father.“Yeah! Uncle Justin is my real dad!” Alex cheered, jumping up and down in excitement. He didn’t stop to question why Mommy had kept it a secret or why Uncle Justin had never recognized him. None of that mattered to him right now—he was too busy basking in the joy of knowing that Uncle Justin was his father. Chase, however, stared at the results, his expression stiffening slightly. “Chase, what should we call Uncle Justin from now on? Should we say ‘Daddy,’ or keep calling him Uncle Justin?”

When Justin received Alex’s call, he glanced at his watch, estimating their arrival time. Without hesitation, he made his way downstairs to personally wait for them at the front entrance. But instead of Chase and Alex, he was met with someone he least wanted to see—Emma. “Justin, did you know I was coming? Is that why you’re waiting for me here?” Her voice rang out before she even got close, full of excitement. Wearing high heels, she picked up her pace, practically jogging toward him. She had completely erased from memory how, not long ago, Justin had gripped her throat and interrogated her. She had also conveniently forgotten how she had lost her right hand. Or rather, she was deliberately suppressing her emotions. No matter the time or place, she was always careful to maintain the image she had crafted for herself. As she neared him, Justin’s expression darkened with disgust. His brows furrowed slightly, and he instinctively stepped aside, ensuring they wouldn’t ma

Justin waited outside for a little while longer before Chase and Alex finally arrived. “Uncle Justin, why are you waiting at the front entrance? Were you just as excited to see me as I was to see you?” Alex beamed, his excitement bubbling over. This time, meeting Justin felt completely different. This wasn’t just some uncle—this was his father by blood. “Hi, Chase and Alex,” Justin greeted, his tone much calmer. He had already known about their relationship, so his emotions weren’t as turbulent as Alex’s. “Hello, Uncle Justin,” Chase greeted coolly. “Mm.” Alex wasted no time launching himself into Justin’s arms. Justin caught him effortlessly, bouncing him slightly. He felt heavier than before. Glancing down at Chase, then at his own arms, Justin realized the problem. He could only carry one of them. Before he could figure out what to do, Chase had already taken the initiative and walked into the building alone. “Uncle Justin, don’t take it personally.

Emma’s fingerprints and access permissions hadn’t been revoked. Inside the office, she methodically packed her belongings into cardboard boxes. She didn’t even glance at the useless files and materials. She just left them behind without a second thought. One box contained her personal items, while the other held office supplies that were still new and usable, including USB drives and other accessories. Once she was nearly finished, she was about to step out for a moment when someone knocked and entered. “Miss Xander.” The voice belonged to a former subordinate who used to flatter her. “It’s really you? I just got back from a work trip and heard that you came in today… and that you brought your twin sons to see the CEO.” The woman’s tone turned playful. “Or should I be calling you Mrs. Yates now?” Twin sons? Emily gave birth to twins for Justin? And they even came to the company? Emma clenched her fists tightly, rage boiling inside her. But on the surface,

“You already know I’m focusing on family now. I just came by to pack up some personal items,” Emma explained smoothly. “These are some unused office supplies. I figured you might need them, so I thought I’d bring them over.” “Thank you.” The company provided office supplies, of course. But the fact that she had thought of him and even gone out of her way to see him, filled Tom with unexpected joy.“Are we really going to have this whole conversation at the door?” she teased. “Oh right! I’m sorry, that was rude of me. Please, come in.” Tom quickly stepped aside to let her in, reaching out to take the box from her hands. As he lowered his gaze, his eyes naturally landed on her hands. “Why are you wearing gloves in this heat?” Emma paused for half a second before smoothly replying, “They’re the latest fashion. Limited edition. I bought them overseas and had them shipped here.” Tom glanced at the logo on the gloves. Even though he wasn’t into luxury brands, he reco

“It’s already afternoon, and you haven’t eaten yet. If word gets out, people might start saying RC Corporation mistreats its employees.” Emma glanced at the time. “The cafeteria should still have food. Go grab something to eat.” “I’m fine. Skipping one meal won’t hurt. Besides, everyone else is on break. Someone has to stay in the office and keep watch.” “I’ll keep watch for you. Just go eat—don’t make me worry,” Emma coaxed. Then, with a teasing lilt in her voice, she added, “You don’t want to be too tired to… perform, do you?” Her words carried a double meaning.“You know what I mean, don’t you?”“I do!” Tom blurted out. He understood perfectly. She was telling him to conserve his energy—for her. “Good. Now go. And make sure you eat well—you’ll need your strength.”“I can’t. I have to stay here. The confidential files are in this office. I can’t leave them unattended.” “What’s there to worry about when I’m here watching them?” Emma suddenly became more assertiv
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 618
Night fell, but the lights in the CEO’s office at RC Corporation remained bright. Justin was finalizing the international project negotiations with Sam over a video call. “Everything looks good so far, but the last proposal needs another round of calculations. How long will it take to get the accurate results?”“Mr. Yates, I’ll have the data ready for you in an hour.”“Alright.”Justin removed his blue-light glasses and rubbed his tired eyes. All that was left was to wait for Sam’s final set of data before he could complete the final calculations. Just then, a sharp notification tone rang from his phone, breaking the silence. Was it Haley? Chase and Alex had already called him after getting home. That only left one possibility—Haley had messaged him. Maybe she was telling him not to stay up too late, to get some rest. Smiling, he picked up his phone and unlocked it. The moment he saw the screen, his anticipation vanished, replaced by disappointment. It wasn’t

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
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 757
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
