After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 644
The hateful glare in Emma’s eyes startled the doctor. “I want it gone. I want the abortion now.” The doctor glanced at her chart and hesitated. “This isn’t your first pregnancy, is it? Have you had an abortion before? Your uterine lining is quite thin. If you go through with another one, there’s a high chance you won’t be able to conceive in the future. Even if you do, it’ll be difficult to carry to term.” “I said I want the procedure now! Right now! Do you not understand me?” Without warning, Emma exploded. Her voice was so loud that the people waiting outside turned their heads, curious about the commotion. Some even peeked through the door, expecting to see an argument. The doctor, startled again, quickly tried to calm her down, worried about causing a scene. “Please, don’t get worked up. If you want to terminate the pregnancy, you’ll need to go back to the main hall, pay for the procedure, and register at the gynecology department.” Emma snatched the chart b

“You didn’t actually think I came here alone, did you?” Emma forced herself to stay calm. “I’m under Jacob’s watch 24/7. Every time I leave, he sends people to tail me in secret. If you take me, do you really think the Yates family won’t come knocking on your door the same night?” The New Alliance boss and his men glanced around warily, scanning for any signs of hidden surveillance. “I don’t know what you’re really after with this international project,” Emma continued, “but if you so much as try to kidnap me, the Yates family won’t let you leave Lincourt City alive.” She let out a sharp breath, then added, “And if your base here in Lincourt City gets destroyed, wouldn’t that be an even bigger loss for your bosses?” She was bluffing, trying to rattle him. But unexpectedly, she hit a nerve. A flicker of hesitation crossed the man’s eyes. The people above him were using the international project as a front for smuggling. The most legitimate and unexpected locations w

“I’ll let you play with it, but only if you call me ‘big brother’ and tell me your name.” “Big brother,” the little girl said sweetly. “My name is Ria.” “I’m Alex.” Children made friends so easily—their bonds were simple and pure. Just by playing with the toy airplane together, the two had already grown familiar with each other. The sun climbed higher, and the cool morning air gave way to the midday heat. Chase’s phone rang. It was Haley, reminding them to come home for lunch.After hanging up, he called out to Alex, who was still playing in the park.“Alex! Mom says it’s time for lunch!” “Got it!” Alex shouted back before turning to Ria, who was a head shorter than him. “Ria, I have to go home for lunch now. Let’s play again next time! I even have a real drone—not just a toy model, a real one.” “Okay! But you better not go back on your word.” “A man never breaks his promises!” Alex declared proudly. “My house is over there,” Ria said, pointing to a buildin

Haley had full confidence in Wilfred when it came to handling things. She hadn’t even given it a second thought about RC Corporation winning the bid and had no expectations that Justin would stand up for her either. She was human, not some saint. If someone deliberately targeted and excluded her time and time again, she wasn’t going to lend them a hand. Not retaliating was already her being gracious. “What? She still wants to marry into our family? She wants to marry Wilfred? Does she have no shame?” Helen exploded as soon as she heard the news. “Xena is delusional! That’s like a frog thinking it can marry a princess! She’s drooling over Wilfred? She can keep dreaming!” “All right, watch your language in front of the kids,” Haley reminded her. Chase and Alex had just come back. Chase wouldn’t repeat those words, but Alex? He was a little parrot—he copied everything. “No way! We can’t move the Gibson family’s seats to the back. Keep them right where they are. I w

Helen pouted. “Oh, come on, sis, I was just asking.” Alex swallowed his food and answered honestly, “I don’t know. But if I treat her well and give her toys, she’ll definitely want to marry me.” Helen burst out laughing. “Wow, Alex, I didn’t expect you to be such a romantic! Chase, what about you? Do you have a little girl you like?” Chase did not respond. Haley: “Just eat.” *After lunch, Alex went to his room, grabbed his drone, and headed downstairs, ready to go find Ria. As soon as he reached the first floor, Haley stopped him. “Where are you going?” “To play with Ria,” he said, lifting the drone in his hands. “I promised her I’d bring it next time.” Haley glanced outside at the blazing sun—it was hot enough to burn skin. “It’s way too hot out right now. Wait until the evening to go.” “But I promised her I’d go find her next time,” Alex insisted. Haley sighed, rubbing her temples. “You said next time, not this afternoon. It’s too hot for little gir

Heidi tried to leave, but Emma suddenly lunged forward, grabbed a fistful of her hair, and dragged her toward the car’s trunk. Heidi kicked and struggled with all her might. But slowly—her movements weakened, her legs went limp, and eventually, she stopped moving altogether. Emma shoved her entire body into the trunk and slammed it shut. Then, she reached into the driver’s seat, grabbed some supplies, and calmly cleaned the blood off her hands and the exterior of the car. The video was in black and white. There was no sound. And that was where it ended. Justin clenched his hands together, his fingers digging into his palms so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His entire body radiated fury as he stared at the frozen screen. “Emma… you really are something,” he muttered.He slid his finger across his phone and spoke in an icy tone. “William, bring Emma to Regal Estates.” “Yes, Mr. Yates.” William put down his phone and immediately set off. Regal Estat

Alex carefully repacked the jewelry set, closed the box, and handed it to a servant. “Take this to the children’s room,” he instructed. Since Mommy liked it but didn’t want to accept it, he would keep it safe for her. *After dinner, the family spent two hours playing in the living room, but just as Alex was getting into it, his mother called him to take a bath. “Chase, go with your brother,” Haley said, motioning for him to follow. She led both boys back to their room and sent them into the bathroom before stepping outside to wait. Standing in the upstairs hallway, her thoughts drifted as she rested her gaze on the living room below. Helen was happily picking out wedding photoshoot styles, discussing options with Evelyn and Zac. Richard came upstairs and walked over to his sister. Ever since dinner, she had seemed lost in thought, her mind heavy with something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke. “Sis, do you know why Justin didn’t come over
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 651
Alex didn’t dwell on the small details, still completely immersed in the joy of seeing his Uncle Justin finally making progress in his love life. “Uncle Justin, Mommy really liked the gift you gave her!” Alex said happily. Even though no one else was in the room, he still lowered his voice as if sharing a big secret, just like he used to. “She accepted it! She didn’t smile, but as her precious son, I know she liked it!” But Justin showed no excitement. He remained quiet, uncharacteristically indifferent. Instead, he simply said, “As long as she likes it, that’s good.” “But Uncle Justin, where did you go tonight?” Alex pressed. “A gift like that should be given in person! That way, you can see the person’s reaction!“If Mommy had smiled, wouldn’t that mean she’d agree to be with you on the spot?” Alex chattered on, caught up in his own imagination. Even with Alex trying his best to lighten the mood, Justin remained silent and brooding. “You’re right, Alex. I’ll

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
