After the Breakup, the Billionaire Lost Control! Chapter 733
“Didn’t you say Justin had lost his memory? And that woman—she’s just a paper tiger, right? So how the hell did everything fall apart?”Harry’s expression turned cold on the other end of the line. “What do you mean, what should you do? You failed to handle it, and now you have the nerve to ask me for help? Figure it out yourself!”“Vice President, I only called because I really don’t know what to do!” the project lead said, panic rising in his voice. “You were the one who told me Justin had amnesia! Now that the plan’s gone south, you can’t just throw me under the bus!”Harry’s voice turned icy. “Exactly. You botched something as critical as relocation compensation and delayed a major international project. What do you think the new female president is going to do? You think she’ll just let it slide? You’re lucky if she doesn’t fire you on the spot.”The project lead’s heart dropped.“I'm sorry. Please, I'm begging you. Please help me. I shouldn't have snapped at you earlier

“That’s my son, alright! Hahaha!” Harry exclaimed.*The sky was heavy and gray, thick with the pressure of an approaching storm. The situation hadn’t been fully resolved, and they wouldn’t be heading home that night.William drove them into the city and stopped in front of a hotel. Just after they stepped out and entered the lobby, raindrops began pounding against the ground.The four of them stood at the front desk to book rooms. Before Sam could speak, Justin stepped forward and asked, “It’s pouring out there—I'm guessing you’re running low on rooms?”The front desk clerk blinked, caught off guard by the question. But her professional instincts kicked in quickly, and she offered a polite, practiced smile. “Sir, we have plenty of rooms available. How many would you like?”“Four,” Haley answered for them.Moments later, the clerk handed over four key cards. “Four deluxe suites. Please take these.”Sam helped collect the keys, and the four of them headed toward the elevators.

Night had fully fallen. Haley stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the sheets of rain blur the city outside. She made a call home to check in.“We’re not coming back tonight. Justin and I… things still aren’t fully resolved over here.” After a brief pause, someone else on the other end of the call took over.“Alright, I understand. If I really can’t handle it, I’ll come to you for help. Thanks, Wilfred.” It was Wilfred, calmly advising her over the phone, walking her through how to handle situations like this quickly and cleanly.As soon as the call ended, the doorbell rang.She walked over and opened it. Justin stood outside, carrying two large bags—one in each hand. “You’re probably hungry, right?” he said with a bright smile. “I checked the hotel menu, but they didn’t have anything you like. And ordering delivery in this rain takes forever, so I made William take me out to get food.“Ta-da! Look what I got—your favorites! Spicy crawfish, grilled skewers, som

Not long after, the doorbell rang again.Justin got up, ready to answer it, but Haley held out a hand to stop him and walked over herself.She opened the door just wide enough to take a bag from the delivery guy, then quickly shut it and returned.She casually set the bag down behind her, but Justin, full of curiosity, craned his neck like a kid and asked, “What’d you order, sis? Did you get something for me too?”“Disposable clothing. Women’s. You won’t need it.”“Oh.” Justin’s face fell with disappointment. “Why didn’t you get me a set too? I need something to change into tonight. If you don’t know my size, I can just tell you…”Haley sighed. “You’re a grown man. Stop being dramatic. You can just flip your clothes inside out and wear them again.”Right after saying it, she realized this probably wasn’t the kind of conversation they should be having and decided to drop it.“But… it’s not sanitary, it’s not healthy. And you still need to… you know… use it later.”“No buts,” sh

The group headed upstairs to begin the site inspection. The project lead trailed behind them.“President, should I call everyone into the conference room for a meeting?” he asked.“That won’t be necessary,” Haley replied without looking back. “I’m just here to check on the project’s progress. Go have someone bring the relevant documents.”“Yes, of course.” The project lead nodded awkwardly. Watching them step into the office, he quickly turned to instruct his secretary. “Wait.”He stopped her mid-step and leaned in, whispering, “Only bring the documents that need to be seen. Leave the rest out.”The secretary nodded silently and walked off.Inside the office, Haley turned to Sam. “Which law firm handles legal matters for this branch? Call their lawyer—we’ll need them to come with us later.”“Understood.”Soon after, the project lead returned with the secretary, each carrying tall stacks of documents—two piles in total.The three of them began going through the paperwork.

“That’s right! If you’re not raising the compensation, we’re not moving. Go ahead—tear the houses down over our dead bodies if you can!”A group of unruly villagers began to stir up trouble again, pushing forward aggressively, fueled by their numbers and high emotions.The security team immediately stepped forward in formation, blocking them off and holding the line.The former project lead quietly stepped back, inching toward the edge of the crowd. Deep down, he hoped the chaos would escalate—maybe even turn deadly.For the first time, Haley’s expression turned stormy with anger. She grabbed a megaphone, flipped it on, and shouted into the crowd, “Quiet!”No one listened.“You all want money, right?”The moment the word “money” left her mouth, the crowd froze. Eyes turned to her instantly, thrilled at the idea she might finally be giving in under pressure.But then Haley spoke again, her voice cold and cutting.“Don’t think signing the contract and receiving payment means it’

After Justin finished speaking, he tilted his head and playfully nuzzled her shoulder like a child seeking affection.In the front seat, William and Sam caught a glimpse of it through the rearview mirror. They exchanged a glance, then quickly looked away. “Was that really the same terrifying CEO who used to make everyone tremble with a glance? Did someone take over his body or something?” they thought.Haley shifted uncomfortably, edging away from him to put some distance between them.“Justin, didn’t you study at a business school overseas? Your major was finance or economics, right? You didn’t go abroad just to attend kindergarten, did you?” Her tone sharpened. “When we get back, I want you to start managing the company immediately. Got it?”She couldn’t keep running the company for him. Her background wasn’t even in business—helping temporarily was one thing, but doing it long-term? Absolutely not.She didn’t have the insight or instinct for investments, and she certainly wa

Justin’s grip on her arm loosened a little as he watched Haley sit in front of him, trying to make an emergency call.“Why isn’t there any signal?” she muttered, brows furrowed, her voice tight with urgency. Her face, though she didn’t realize it, was full of unspoken worry.In the front seat, William and Sam had already climbed out of the driver’s cabin. Both pulled out their phones and tried calling for help—but none of them had service either.The rain kept falling, heavy and relentless.After surveying the surroundings, William quickly returned. “I’ll climb up and try to make the call from higher ground. You all stay here and wait for me.”*At Mistletoe Villa, the rest of the family was still waiting for Haley and Justin to return.“Didn’t Mommy say she’d be back this afternoon? It’s already nighttime. Why isn’t she home yet?” Chase frowned, his brows scrunching in worry.Unable to shake the thought, he quickly used his kid’s smartwatch to call her.The ringtone went on f

Harry burst into laughter and didn’t spare a single glance at his son. He dragged the woman straight into the bedroom, not even bothering to close the curtains before getting straight to "work."Across the street, someone aimed a camera from a neighboring window and captured the entire scene. That same day, a scandalous exposé was written up and posted online. It didn't take long before it shot to the top of trending news and stayed there.Though Harry wasn’t a celebrity or public figure, curious netizens flooded the comments. As people started digging, they quickly discovered that the man in the photos was none other than Harry Yates, Vice Chairman of RC Corporation.That night, back at the Yates’ villa, the entire place was lit up. Stella sat stiffly on the sofa, gripping her tablet so tightly her knuckles turned white. On the screen were blurred-out photos and detailed captions of her husband’s affair.Each image and every word only added fuel to her rage.Her first instinct wa

Sam said goodbye to the others and drove off to return to the company.Upstairs, after Justin’s final checkup, William wheeled him back to his hospital room. Once the door was shut, William reported before Justin could even ask.“He’s been detained. The accounts he embezzled from have been frozen, and we found all the related evidence at his home.”“Don’t send him to the Special Investigations Unit just yet,” Justin said calmly. “Wait until we’ve gathered everything from my uncle’s side, then hand it all over together.”“Understood.”*Meanwhile, in the doctor’s office, everyone was gathered, waiting for Justin’s test results. When the scans and reports came back showing no serious problems, the Walker family finally felt relieved enough to prepare to leave.But Alex clung to Haley’s leg, refusing to budge. “I want to stay here and take care of Uncle Justin. I’ll go home when he’s all better.”Haley opened her mouth to respond, but Zac quickly scooped Alex into his arms and

Outside, thunder cracked violently, echoing through the downpour. Rain lashed down in sheets as a car with a smashed, caved-in front screeched to a sudden stop in front of a villa.The former project lead jumped out into the storm and ran to the door, banging on it frantically. He had left his keys in the car, and with his hands soaked and trembling, he fumbled multiple times with the fingerprint lock and passcode. None of them worked.“Who the hell is banging on the door like that in the middle of the night? Trying to scare someone to death?” his wife yelled as she walked toward the entryway, a face mask plastered on her face, clearly irritated.“It’s me! Open up, now!” he growled from outside.Hearing his voice, she quickly opened the door, still grumbling as she did. “You could’ve just knocked like a normal person! Don’t you know how scary it is to be home alone in the dark with rain pouring down like this?”She kept muttering, but her husband didn’t say a word. He rushed pa
