After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 62
Emily and Sean were chatting and laughing, happily discussing what to order for their hotpot later. The mood was light and carefree. Across the street, Justin spotted them as he approached. The sight froze him in his tracks, his expression darkening further. He had gone to great lengths to track Emily down. Monitoring Sean’s social media, using connections to get Sean’s new license plate number, and even pulling favors with the Department of Transportation to access highway surveillance footage. After piecing everything together, he had finally pinpointed her location this evening. He had dropped everything to come straight here personally, only to find Emily acting all cozy with Sean!Justin’s expression darkened, exuding the aura of a man catching like someone catching his partner red-handed. With long, determined strides, he headed straight for the entrance with his entourage of black-suited bodyguards trailing behind. Passersby stopped and stared, instinctively stepping

“Mr. Sean Smith, whether you’re just messing around with her or genuinely serious, at least wait your turn. My contract with her isn’t up yet, so you’ll have to stand in line,” Justin sneered, his gaze cold and dismissive, treating Emily like she was nothing more than an object.Emily stood behind Sean, her fists clenched, her entire body trembling. She felt as though she had been stripped bare and thrown onto a crowded street. A mistress! A contract! Disgust churned in her stomach as regret consumed her. How could she have ever been drawn to Justin's looks, let alone fall for him? How could she have been so desperate to be close to him that she had signed that degrading contract? Now, all she felt was disgust. Sean met Justin’s arrogance with an easy, sarcastic tone. “Three months left? Isn’t the mighty Justin Yates ridiculously wealthy? Since when did you get so petty to chase her all the way here? Aren’t you worried people might laugh at you? Or has RC Corporation gon

Sean struggled against the grip of the two bodyguards, but he couldn’t break free. Not far away, Emily pulled her hand out of Justin’s grasp and walked toward the car parked by the curb. At the door, Sam stood waiting and respectfully opened it. “Miss Yates, please get in.” Without a word, she slid into the car, instantly overwhelmed by the strong scent of Justin’s cologne lingering in the space. The fragrance, sharp and cloying, made her stomach churn uncomfortably. Justin followed closely behind and took the seat next to her. Sam shut the door, leaving the two alone inside, while he and the other staff stood waiting outside. Inside the car, Justin sat unnervingly close to Emily. The fiery anger he had shown moments ago seemed to vanish the moment he entered. Emily turned her head, focusing on the passing scenery outside, deliberately ignoring him. “What did you and Sean do these past two days?” Justin asked casually, though his voice betrayed the jealousy simmeri

“Don’t try to lecture me!” Justin said coldly. “I won’t let her know about you.”Emily stared at Justin in disbelief.“If you want to play games, go find a woman who’s willing and able to play. Don’t come here and disgust me!” she said with distaste.“I’ve never slept with Emma.” For the first time, Justin offered an explanation.Emily sneered. “The paparazzi got photos of it. What are you pretending for? Trying to act innocent?” Her expression was filled with disdain and disbelief.“I only took her home, had dinner, and left.”Justin thought for a moment but decided to leave out the part about burning his leg and rushing into a cold shower. He didn’t understand why he was hiding that detail, but instinctively, he just didn’t want to tell Emily. Although, he did plan to marry Emma in the future.“Whether or not you’ve slept with Emma, it has nothing to do with me. Now, let me go!” Emily’s voice was cold and resolute.She pushed hard at Justin, trying to open the car door and ge

The traffic officer glanced at the bodyguards in black suits around them before sternly addressing Justin.“You’re the ones blocking the entrance to Jupiter Land and causing the traffic jam, right? You’re in the wrong here, too.”“I apologize, officer. My younger sister is being difficult,” Justin said, nodding toward Sam to offer the officer a cigarette.The officer declined.“Don’t waste your time with these useless gestures. This is a warning. Pay attention next time!” With that, the officer walked away.Emily saw her chance to slip away behind the officer. But William quickly blocked her path, and Sam once again positioned himself by the car door.“Miss Yates, please.”The car sped down the road, heading toward the airport. With the flight time approaching, they were driving fast.Emily was stuck in the backseat, keeping as much distance as she could from Justin. She was already pressed up against the car door, fearing that Justin might snap again.“Justin, what do you w

Justin still hadn’t had enough of her, and his body still craved her. Once he lost interest, he would let her go naturally.Emily regretted falling into his trap. Now, all she could do was stay by his side and wait until the contract expired, then leave.At this moment, she had no idea what Justin was really planning.Whether it was his scent or the car moving too fast, Emily started feeling carsick. She felt incredibly nauseous.“Pull over! I’m going to throw up!” Emily slapped Justin’s arm.Justin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was irritated at the disturbance. “We’re on the highway. How am I supposed to pull over? Just hold on.”She couldn’t hold it anymore!With a sudden “Ugh!” Emily threw up all over the car. Some of it even splashed onto Justin’s suit pants.“Emily!” Justin shouted angrily.The car reached the airport. Justin quickly opened the door, stepped out, and waved his hand in front of his nose, trying to get rid of the unpleasant smell.“Emily, was

After arriving at the hotel in Jacksonburg City, Emily suddenly felt hungry again.“Justin, are you hungry? How about ordering some takeout?” Emily flopped onto the sofa and started browsing takeout options on her phone.Justin set his briefcase down, his tie already off from the plane ride, and he began taking off his suit jacket.“Are you a pig?” he asked, clearly skeptical.With that, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower.Emily rolled her eyes at him as he walked away.When Justin climbed into bed, ready to sleep, Emily opened the takeout and started eating at the dining table.After finishing, she took a shower and came out to find Justin already fast asleep in bed.She walked over, grabbed the blanket, and tried to pull it off him, but it wouldn’t budge. Annoyed, she kicked him.It took a while, but she finally managed to yank the blanket over to her side.Justin lay on the bed, bare-chested.“Freeze to death,” Emily muttered under her breath.She grabbed the bla

“Well, he looks the part but acts disgracefully,” Emily muttered to herself.At the RC Corporation branch office, Justin insisted that Emily accompany him on his inspection.Wearing high heels and carrying a briefcase, Emily stood behind Justin like a secretary, listening as he spoke with the branch manager.They toured several key departments, and Emily followed Justin around all morning. Finally, around noon, the inspection was over.After lunch, Justin had a meeting in the afternoon. Emily was finally able to rest. She hadn’t worn high heels in days, and after walking around all morning, her feet were sore.She sat on the sofa in the lounge to relax. Spotting some pastries and snacks on the coffee table, she grabbed a few and made herself a cup of coffee.The lunch had been arranged by the branch manager, but the food wasn’t to her taste, so she hadn’t eaten much.While snacking and casually scrolling through her phone, she overheard some gossip from outside. Curious, she put

“Sis, I’m pretty handsome, right?” Justin asked, grinning proudly.And just like that, his voice shattered the illusion Haley had briefly fallen into.She gave him a look. “Don’t flatter yourself. Let’s go.”The two headed downstairs, where William was already waiting to drive them to RC Corporation. He pulled into the underground parking garage, and they made their way up to the executive floor.Inside the president’s office, Haley still wasn’t fully at ease. She had him run through the negotiation script one more time, rehearsing the key points like a stage play. Only when Justin delivered his lines with calm precision did she finally relax.“This shipment is critical for the international project’s timeline,” she reminded him. “You read through the materials yesterday—you get how important this is, right?”Justin nodded.“Don’t stress too much. Just channel that cool, commanding energy you had a minute ago,” Haley said, coaching him seriously. “Get in there and bluff your way

Following Haley into the kitchen, Justin was about to speak when he caught the sound of her voice—she was chatting with Helen.Haley had just poured herself a glass of water from the fridge. Helen, as always, was talking non-stop at her side.“Sis, with Justin calling you ‘sis’ every day, doesn’t it kinda feel like you’ve got yourself a younger, puppy-eyed boyfriend?” Her tone was teasing, full of mischief. “Kinda like that matchmaking event I set up for you back then.”She nudged Haley’s shoulder, waggling her eyebrows suggestively.That one line pulled both of them back to that night at the bar.Haley shot her a look. “You’re pregnant. Can you not let your imagination run wild for once? If you’re that curious, have Zac call you ‘sis’ every night.”“Oh, come on. What’s the harm in a little gossip?” Helen giggled. “Honestly though, this amnesia version of Justin is kind of adorable. All innocent and wide-eyed. You’re telling me you don’t feel anything?”“No,” Haley answered flat

Haley pressed her fingers to her temple, her headache building. “Prepare a full briefing. I want all the contract details, background on the partner company, and a response script. He needs to memorize everything by tomorrow. He’s going to that meeting.”She gestured toward Justin, clearly making him responsible.“Yes, ma’am,” Sam replied.“And one more thing,” Haley added, her tone sharp. “Find a new supplier. Once this delivery is done, terminate the contract. We’re not working with unreliable partners.”“Understood.”As Sam left, Haley turned to Justin, looking down at him from where she stood. “Memorize the talking points. Lock the key contract terms in your head. Tomorrow, you’re facing their CEO. Think you can handle it?”Justin blinked up at her with wide, innocent eyes. “Don’t worry, Sis. If it’s something you asked me to do, I’ll make sure I get it right!”*That evening at Mistletoe Villa, Helen had just returned from a prenatal checkup. Everyone was gathered in the l

“You want your memory back, right? Great. Go ahead and read through these files and sign off on them. That’ll jog your memory in no time.”Haley pushed the day’s workload onto Justin’s desk. Memory loss or not, she was sure his business instincts and decision-making skills were still in there somewhere.It was just like when she had lost her memory. Her painting skills and foreign languages had still been there, buried in her subconscious.Justin didn’t need to recall every detail of the past. As long as he could function in the office and resume his role as president, that was good enough.He froze. Sure, he wanted to grow closer to Haley and get her to care about him again, but going back to work so soon? That hadn’t exactly been the plan.Still, realizing what she wanted, he didn’t argue. Instead, he obediently picked up the first document and started reading carefully.Then, suddenly, he asked, “Sis, what’s the project timeline for the international expansion? I don’t remembe

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
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 716
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
