After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 650
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

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 sighed, walked around the bed, and sat down beside Chase. She gently pulled him from under the blankets and held him in her arms. Resting her chin lightly on top of his head, she spoke, her voice carrying a faint trace of exhaustion. “Being together isn’t just about loving and liking someone.” “There are things two people have to go through—some good, some bad…” Love. Chase had used the word like, but she had said love. His breathing deepened as he listened, his gaze drifting into the void. The weight behind her words carried more depth than the bedtime story she had just read to them. “You’re still young,” she murmured, gently stroking his hair. “But when you grow up and meet a girl you like, make sure you treat her well. Don’t let your eyes wander. Don’t hurt her.” Chase frowned. He didn’t understand. Why would someone look around when they already liked someone? Did that mean Justin liked Mommy… but also liked Emma? Why would he do that? Hal

The wine glass sat untouched on the table, the liquid inside still full. Haley hadn’t taken a single sip. Instead, she suddenly rushed downstairs. She was in such a hurry that she nearly collided with Zac, who was carrying a tray up the stairs. She looked like she was being chased by a ghost. “Whoa! Sis, where are you running off to this late at night?” Zac quickly stepped aside, afraid she would knock into him and send everything flying. The wedding preparations were already in full swing, and both families had met. Even though Zac inwardly resisted calling Haley “sis”—since she was younger than him—he still did it for the sake of keeping the peace with his wife. But Haley ignored his question. Without even glancing back, she ran straight to the front door. She yanked open a drawer by the shoe cabinet, grabbed a random set of car keys without looking, and bolted out the door. The car sped through the empty city streets, cutting through the quiet of the night

Zac didn’t complain, just picked up the tray and headed downstairs. Before leaving, he double-checked one last time. “Are you sure you’re done? Don’t make me bring it back up after I put it away. Why not just eat a little more? You’re really not fat—you’ll look perfect in your wedding dress.” Helen waved him off. “Absolutely not! I swear I won’t eat anymore tonight!” “Alright, then I’m taking it down.” “Hurry,” Helen urged, swallowing back her craving. As Zac carried the tray out, he subtly grabbed his phone on the way without her noticing. Down in the kitchen, he pulled out his phone and called Justin, intending to tell him that Haley had just rushed out—probably to find him. But after two calls, Justin still didn’t pick up. Frowning, Zac dialed Haley instead. Same result. He muttered under his breath, “What the hell are those two up to…” *Jacob’s villa was brightly lit. The maid had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to return.A ca

Jacob was a man of indulgence. Unlike other wealthy households that typically hired older, plain-looking housekeepers—women in their forties who had already gone through childbirth—he had personally selected a young female college student to work in his home. She was even younger and prettier than Emma. With wide, innocent eyes, she peeked out from behind Jacob, her maid uniform neatly pressed, her expression looking as if she had just been startled. That pitifully delicate act—it was exactly how Emma used to be. And that was precisely why Emma was now gritting her teeth, itching to drag that shameless little maid out and slap her across the face. But Jacob was oblivious to the unspoken hostility brewing between the two women. Right now, his mind was consumed by one thing. Why hadn’t Emma taken the fertility-boosting supplements? Did she not want to have his child? Then whose child did she want? Justin’s? The thought made his expression darken further.

Jacob's eyes darkened as he glared at her. Emma, unafraid, lifted her head and met his gaze head-on. “Don’t start acting crazy all of a sudden. I don’t feel well—I don’t want to fight with you.” “Fine. No fighting.” His voice was low and dangerous. “Let’s do something else instead. We’ll keep at it until you’re pregnant. Otherwise, the supplements won’t stop.” “Jacob, what the hell are you doing? Let me go! I told you I don’t feel well!” Emma struggled violently. In the past, Jacob had always indulged her, making her believe she was stronger than him. But now, with just one push, she lost her balance and fell backward onto the couch. Fueled by anger, Jacob ignored her resistance, leaning down and sinking his teeth into the curve of her neck. “Jacob, let me go!” Emma’s body was weak. She hadn’t eaten much all day. Her feeble punches landed on him with all the force of a tickle. Just then, as Jacob shifted slightly, his eyes caught something on the floor. He
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 657
Why did she have to go through all of this? Was it wrong to like money? To crave power? She only wanted to climb higher, to live above everyone else! After that one failed escape attempt, she had learned her lesson. She had stopped fighting and started pleasing those men instead—learning how to survive in bed. Step by step, she climbed from the lowest rank of women to the highest. But really—what difference did it make? Low or high, she was still just a woman for sale. She had dropped hints, begging those men to buy her freedom. She had even tried using the secrets she gathered as leverage. But it was as if they had all conspired against her—not one of them dared to agree. A bunch of spineless cowards who acted like they didn’t even know her the moment they pulled up their pants! And now, Jacob wanted her to have his child? For what? He was no different from those men—surrounded by women, constantly indulging himself. Why should she let him

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
