After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 704
Haley’s words—“ Saving my life doesn’t mean I have to marry you.”—kept echoing in his mind, hitting him again and again.And that one moment of stunned silence was all it took.The man—thought to be unconscious—suddenly burst back in through the door. He lunged from behind, wrapping a hand tightly around Haley’s neck and dragging her backward toward the edge of the yacht.His other hand pointed the knife straight at Justin. “Don’t take another step! One more move and I swear I’ll snap her neck!”“I’m not moving,” Justin said, his voice low but tense. He glanced at the churning sea behind the railing, then at the way Haley struggled to breathe under the man’s crushing grip. Panic flashed in his eyes.“You—go get the knife. Bring it here and stab yourself in the wrist!” the man barked.“Okay. I will. Just don’t hurt her,” Justin said, inching away toward the helm to retrieve the knife.Haley’s eyes scanned the surroundings frantically, searching for any opening to break free.S
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 705
Outside the Operating Room at Lichfield Hospital, a small crowd had gathered. Everyone was anxiously waiting for news about Justin.Even Chase and Alex, who had already gone home, rushed back to the hospital. The moment they heard their mom had been rescued but Uncle Justin’s life was still hanging by a thread, they couldn’t stay away. “Mommy… Uncle Justin’s gonna be okay, right?” Alex clutched Haley’s hand tightly, his voice small and shaky.“He will. He’s going to be fine.” She didn’t know if she was comforting him or herself.Her wounds had been treated, and she had changed into clean clothes, but her gaze stayed fixed on the operating room doors. Her gaze was full of complicated emotion.A sharp scoff came from one of the hallway seats. Stella crossed her arms and sneered, her tone biting.“I called it, didn’t I? She’s cursed! First she comes back, and next thing you know—our father dies, then Heidi, and now Justin’s at death’s door. What more proof do you need?”“Would

Everyone had cleared out. Anxious to see their dad, Alex dragged Chase into the hospital room first. Only Haley remained in the hallway, quietly standing just outside the door. She didn’t go in right away.She didn’t know how long she had been there when Sam approached, holding a folder.“Miss Haley,” he said softly, “before Mr. Yates left to rescue you, he signed this.”He opened the folder and held it out to her. “If anything happened to him, he wanted all of his assets—his shares in RC Corporation and everything else—to be transferred to you.”Then he offered her a pen.All she had to do was sign, and everything would legally be hers. Every share. Every cent. She would become the new Chair of RC Corporation.It was a staggering amount of wealth—something most people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.But Haley barely reacted. Her face stayed calm. She didn’t even glance at the documents.“He’s going to wake up,” she said quietly, pushing the folder back. “It’s just a coma. H
After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 707
Twelve hours had passed. Justin lay still on the hospital bed, his expression peaceful. He was so still that, if not for the rise and fall of his chest, he could have been mistaken for dead.Haley had spent the entire night at his bedside, with Chase and Alex by her side. It was not until early the next morning that Lily arrived with Alexander to take over.Lily shared several facial features with Heidi. It was clear they were sisters, although Lily looked a bit younger.No one felt much like talking. They simply nodded in greeting. One group stepped into the room, while the other quietly made their way home.Back at the house, everyone was already up and gathered at the breakfast table.“You’re back, sis!” Helen called out, gesturing for them to come eat.She didn’t mention anything about what happened. After all, Zac had already told her everything the night before. She hadn’t expected Justin to go that far to save her sister. It completely changed how she saw him.Looking at

“If the time runs out and I’m not back,” Haley said gently, “just call out to the bathroom. I’ll answer you right away.”“Okay… but come back soon, Mommy,” Alex said quickly. “If you fall or anything, call for me. I’ll get the housekeeper to help.”“I will,” Haley promised with a small smile.She understood why Alex was so nervous. It all went back to the kidnapping. He was afraid something would happen again.After her shower, she returned to find Chase and Alex already curled up on the bed, one on each side. She pulled them close and they all slept in together until noon.That evening, after dinner, Haley got ready to head to the hospital to switch shifts with Lily. She hadn’t planned on taking the boys, but they begged until she gave in.As they reached the hospital room and were about to go in, Haley paused. She could hear someone inside, talking in a soft, rambling tone. She couldn’t quite make out the words, but for a second, from the voice and the silhouette, she almost

Sam, worried that Haley might change her mind, borrowed the assistant’s office from Zac’s team and quickly printed the new contract. Then he brought it back to the hospital room.Only when he saw Haley sign her name did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. It was done—the company now had someone in charge.*The next morning, Lily arrived at the hospital right on time for her shift. Haley took the boys home to Mistletoe Villa, had breakfast, showered, and got into Sam’s car for her first official day at RC Corporation.Sam followed closely, looking like he feared she might bolt at any moment.In Justin’s office, he handed her a tablet and began briefing her with practiced efficiency. “President, you have a board meeting in fifteen minutes. It’s your formal introduction as acting president. Most of the shareholders are cooperative, but Vice President Harry Yates may try to stir things up.“You’ll want to be ready with a few prepared responses. Don’t worry. I’ll be right there w

After finishing his pitch, Harry looked around the room.“I believe that under my leadership, we can take RC Corporation to even greater heights. I’m not doing this for personal gain,” he added, his voice earnest. “My nephew suffered a terrible accident and is now in a vegetative state. I’m simply stepping in as acting president until he wakes up. When that day comes, I’ll hand everything back to him, no questions asked.”Harry silently remarked, “Wake up? A person in a vegetative state doesn’t just wake up in three to five years.”Once he got his hands on full control, that precious nephew of his would never wake up—at least not while he was in charge.Victory was within reach. Harry curled his lips into a satisfied smile, ready to accept the applause.But no one clapped.Instead, Haley’s voice rang out, calm and clear. “I have a document here. Before his accident, Justin gave specific instructions to his assistant, Sam. Should anything happen to him, all authority—his positio

Haley’s voice was steady and sincere. “It’s true—corporate management and project leadership aren’t my areas of expertise. But from what I understand, RC Corporation is currently working on a major international venture. The overseas partner is Prolux Corporation, based in Merika State.”She paused briefly before continuing. “Prolux Corporation’s CEO is Wilfred—my brother. I also hold shares in Prolux. I believe that makes me a strong bridge between RC Corporation and our international partner, and someone well-positioned to temporarily lead the company.”What?Wilfred was her brother?The shock hit the room like a thunderclap. Whatever doubts they had about her qualifications or lack of experience suddenly evaporated. With a backing like that? No one could ignore it.Compared to her powerful connections, Harry’s passionate speech felt like hot air. All skepticism faded. All except Harry voted in favor.For now, it looked like Haley had secured her position as president—solid a

“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

At 8 p.m., Haley arrived right on time for Jacob and Miss Scott’s engagement banquet.Up on the stage, under the warm wishes of both families and to the sound of dreamy background music, the soon-to-be-wed couple exchanged rings. They followed it up with a string of romantic clichés about love at first sight. Then, under the applause of the guests, they shared a passionate kiss.Just as Sam had said, Haley didn’t need to do much—just show her face. She had no interest in watching the Yates and Scott families put on this show. The whole thing was clearly a political alliance, a calculated marriage meant to secure control over RC Corporation—the very company she was now temporarily leading.She set down her untouched wine glass, smoothed her gown, and quietly left the venue.The car headed toward Mistletoe Villa. Haley sat in the backseat, eyes distant. Sam was in the front passenger seat. Noticing her exhaustion, he pulled out a tablet from his briefcase and said,“President, t

Chase and Alex had settled into a daily routine of their own. Every morning, they accompanied Zac to the hospital to visit Justin. In the evenings, they went home together after work.The world kept turning. It didn’t slow down just because Justin had slipped into a coma.At RC Corporation, Haley was also adjusting. With Sam’s steady guidance, she was slowly getting the hang of the job. Day by day, her grasp of the responsibilities sharpened, and her confidence grew.Everything was moving forward.“President,” Sam said, stepping into her office. “Here’s the compensation proposal for the demolition site. It’s part of the land marked for the international project. The plan was finalized under the former president’s direction, and we just got the government’s approval. We need your signature to release the funds so construction can begin.”He handed her the file, efficient and precise as always. Sam never once got her title wrong. He took his role as assistant seriously.Haley glanc
