Chapter 201

“Didn't you say Justin wouldn't be here?” Emma asked, her voice laced with irritation.“If I’d known he’d show up, I wouldn’t have come with you,” she thought to herself.Jacob clicked his tongue nonchalantly, his tone dismissive. “The secretary said he wouldn’t come. How was I supposed to know he’d change his mind?” *Justin, bored and feeling an emptiness grow inside him, had finished all the necessary pleasantries at the York family’s banquet. He was preparing to leave with Zac, brushing off Yvonne's attempts to prolong his stay. Just as he turned to leave, Emma suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. “Justin,” she said softly, her voice trembling with a hint of desperation, “Can I talk to you alone for a moment?” Zac raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh? And what could you possibly need to say that I can’t hear?” Emma fidgeted, wringing her hands nervously. “I just… I need to explain tonight.” Zac scoffed internally. “What’s ther

How could this possibly be happening?Each breath felt like a blade, cutting through his throat. The pain started deep in his heart and spread through every inch of his body. He hunched over in the back seat, one hand clutching his chest, as if trying to keep himself from falling apart.*Five years later, Justin exuded an air of maturity and magnetism that only deepened with time. In the elite social circles, many young women were drawn to him, vying for his attention, only to be rejected one by one. Inside RC Corporation, rumors swirled that Justin wasn’t single. Some whispered he had secretly married Emma years ago. Emma, meanwhile, had risen from her role in marketing to director. Her style had become increasingly polished, even eerily resembling Emily’s. She had gone so far as to tweak her features through subtle cosmetic adjustments based on Emily’s photos. At first, Justin would freeze when he saw her, a fleeting hope stirring in his chest that Emily had returned. Bu

“Justin…” Emma looked to him for help, her voice soft and pleading after Zac’s harsh words. But Justin, seemingly unfazed by her distress, calmly replied, “You shouldn’t be here alone. I’ll arrange for someone to take you home.”His tone left no room for argument. Within minutes, a pair of black-clad bodyguards escorted Emma to a waiting car. Seated in the back seat, Emma’s gaze burned with resentment as she looked out toward the cemetery grounds. “Emily, even in death, you’re still clinging to Justin!” she silently remarked. The convoy drove off, heading back toward the city. *Justin’s car bypassed the city entirely, heading straight for Villa One. He hadn’t moved out, keeping the place exactly as it had been. Every year, on this day, he cleared his schedule, pushing aside all work commitments. His routine was always the same: visit Emily’s grave in the morning, then return to his home, locking himself in the bedroom for hours until late at night. When he opened th

But those dreams were painfully rare. Did she hate him? Was that why she refused to appear in his dreams?*In Merika State, today was Chase and Alex’s fifth birthday party. The twins had just changed into matching suits tailored for kids, their soft hair styled into neat, dashing looks by a professional. With identical faces and matching outfits, it was nearly impossible for anyone unfamiliar with them to tell who was the older brother and who was the younger. Alex, bright and cheerful, held up a colorful bow tie with a superhero design. Grinning ear to ear, he ran up to Chase. "Look, Chase! This one’s awesome—let’s wear these!" he said, holding it up to his brother’s collar. Chase, his small face stoic and his gaze oddly mature for his age, calmly took the bow tie from Alex’s hands. His tone was firm as he stopped Alex from adjusting his collar. "No. It has to be black." "Pfft." Alex puffed out his cheeks in protest. "What’s wrong with this one? It even has Ultraman on

“Don’t worry, Mommy, I’m totally ready!” Alex declared confidently, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. He wasn’t just ready for the party. He had a secret mission: finding Mommy a boyfriend. On TV, every heroine had a boyfriend, and sometimes, there were even several men competing for her affection. But his Mommy? Not a single boyfriend in sight. It was heartbreaking, and Alex, always the little worrier, was determined to fix that. Haley and Helen each held one of the twins’ hands as they led the boys to join the gathering. Upstairs, the photographer snapped a beautiful family portrait before they all headed down to the party. Some guests had already arrived and were mingling downstairs, glasses clinking as they toasted. Evelyn, joined by Wilfred, Haley, and the twins, gave a heartfelt speech in the center of the hall, elevating the party’s atmosphere. Together, the group helped the boys cut their cake, officially kicking off the festivities. After the ceremony, Alex ca

Haley reached out to grab the gift, intending to ask the staff to toss it later. With so many boxes, losing track of one or two seemed inevitable. Evelyn quickly stopped her. “It’s just a gift, Haley. If Chase likes it, let him open it and see.” “You can’t live life fearing every little thing,” she added pointedly, her words meant more for her eldest daughter than anyone else. Haley froze for a moment, taking in her mother’s words. She was right—it was just a gift. They all lived on the same planet, and no one could avoid crossing paths forever. It wasn’t worth living in constant fear. Slowly, Haley withdrew her hand. Chase glanced at his grandmother, then at his mom, before lowering his gaze to the box and carefully unwrapping it. Inside were two kids’ smartwatches. RC Corporation’s CEO, Justin Yates, rarely concerned himself with the details of gifts sent to business partners. This one had been personally chosen by Sam. Chase’s face lit up. He loved gadgets, and whi

Seeing her response, Justin didn’t press the issue further and got into the car, leaving without another word.When they arrived at the pre-booked hotel, Justin collected his room key from the front desk. Moments later, Emma’s car conveniently pulled up. At the reception, she greeted him with a casual smile. “Justin, if I’d known you were staying at this hotel too, I’d have hitched a ride with you.” As luck—or design—would have it, their rooms were not only in the same hotel but directly next to each other. Standing by her door, Emma leaned slightly against the frame, facing him. “Justin, how about grabbing a casual dinner together tonight? There’s this private dining spot nearby that’s amazing.”Justin, already halfway inside his room, responded coldly, “I have a dinner meeting tonight. Maybe another time.” Before she could offer to accompany him, his door closed, cutting her off mid-sentence. Across the hall, Sam and William quietly entered their own rooms, their profession

In the afternoon, Justin’s private jet landed back in Lincourt City. On the way home, his phone rang—it was his mother, Heidi.“Hello, Mom,” Justin answered.“Are you free tonight after work? Come home and have dinner with me. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you,” Heidi said, not waiting for his reply before continuing. “And don’t try to use work as an excuse. I already called your secretarial team. They told me you don’t have any meetings, events, or overtime scheduled for tonight.”Justin’s expression darkened as he shot a warning glance at Sam in the front passenger seat. Catching his boss’s stern look in the rearview mirror, Sam understood the message loud and clear: “Keep your team in check.”Awkwardly, Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose. How was he supposed to know one of the assistants would leak his boss’s schedule to Heidi? Now he was caught in the crossfire.“Mom, if you miss me, I’ll come visit. But you can’t keep using that as an excuse to sneakily set me up on blind dat

In Haven State, Justin and Zac had just wrapped up a busy morning of work and were stepping out of the central hospital building when a small figure darted toward them from across the street. “Hi! I got separated from my aunt. Can I borrow your phone to call her?” It was Alex. From afar, he had already spotted these two men. One of them exceptionally handsome. Definitely someone who would match his mom perfectly. “Oh? Where’d this little guy come from?” Zac walked over, ruffling Alex’s hair. He turned to Justin and asked, “Do you know him?” Justin shook his head, his tone cool and detached. “No.” That cold, detached voice—why did it sound so familiar? Alex wondered, squinting at Justin thoughtfully. He couldn’t quite place it, so he decided not to dwell on it. Alex never liked making things hard for himself. Zac scanned the area, frowning. “What’s your name? Where are your parents? How could they lose track of you like this?“Tell you what,” Zac continued. “How ab

“Hello, Aunt!” Alex’s cheerful voice came through the phone. Helen froze mid-step as she was about to push the door open, her heart plunging into freefall like a roller coaster. Hearing Alex’s voice brought her crashing back to solid ground. “Alex, where did you go? Do you have any idea how worried I was when you disappeared?” Helen’s voice trembled, a mix of relief and frustration. The thought of losing Alex on her watch terrified her. How could she face her sister, or the entire family, if something had happened to him? “Um…” Alex’s big, expressive eyes darted nervously, guilt flashing across his face. “Uh-oh, Aunt Helen sounds mad,” he thought to himself.Justin and Zac stood nearby, keeping an eye on Alex as he made the call. Worried that Alex might struggle to explain their location, Justin reached out, ready to take the phone and provide the address himself. But just as his hand extended, Alex confidently recited their exact location into the phone, his words cl
