The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 230 Such Unruliness
The president had originally thought he could get away with offending neither Roy nor Javier and put an end to that entire situation. After all, if both parties could remain peaceful, he would reap the greatest benefits, which would be splendid. The worst-case scenario for him would be having to remove Javier from the equation rather than offend Millenia Supermarket.However, the president had never expected that Javier would suddenly say that he was going to put 300 million dollars in the bank as a fixed-term fund.Although it was not a fixed deposit, the president would still be able to enjoy a large increase in his sales target if he received these funds.At that moment, Roy said, โDo you think Iโm incapable of bluffing? Iโll put 1.5 billion dollars in your bank then! After all, neither of us will be able to fork out the money!โThe vice president took Royโs side. โExactly! I have the guts to declare such a thing as well in that case! Iโll put in 12 billion dollars!โJavier

The president was now panicking because he was going to be in huge trouble the moment that complaint reached the top of the chain. The connections he had built up all those years ago had only reached the district branch at most. Plus, they were not that strong yet. So, if a complaint was reported directly to headquartersโฆNext to him, the vice president, who was his trusted right-hand man, was attempting to help the latter ease his worries.โDonโt listen to him, sir! Heโs just bluffing! The head president only deals with major clients with billions or trillions of dollars or more. Thereโs no way he would possibly pay this little sh*t with those meager millions of dollars any mind! Donโt you worry, everything will be alright!โHowever, the president furiously scowled. โYou know nothing!โโHe can fork out 600 million dollars with such ease, so donโt you think it would be extremely simple for him to have billions or even trillions of dollars to his name?!โWithout paying the fat vi

Javier was so domineering and powerful that he immediately gave the director of the district branch instructions.As unhappy as the director felt inside, he knew that Javier was literally an omnipotent man, so he just smiled away and followed along. As for Roy and Millenia Supermarketโฆthe director thought they were free to get buried wherever they wanted, as the supermarket was nothing but a speck of dust in front of that omnipotent man! After putting on an act as he dealt with the entire situation, the director of the district branch made his final decisionโฆBoth the president and the vice president were fired, while Millenia Supermarket would be investigated because of their capital loan, which had not been processed according to the rules. Most importantly, and most unexpectedly, Sally was complimented for her professionalism, her passion for her job, and her good reputation by the director, who promoted her to acting president effective immediately.Sally was shocked sense

โMr. Kersey says that everyoneโs done a good job working the entire day in the office, so regardless of whether youโve worked hard, done well, or closed sales, all of you will get annual bonuses. If you didnโt work as hard and you receive a lesser year-end bonus, others canโt be blamed.โJosh briefed everyone on the standards for the year-end bonus distribution as he stood in the center of the office work area.โThere are four levels of year-end bonuses. Those who donโt work hard and dawdle will get 950 dollars.โThe average person who met the companyโs stated performance and followed our practices and policies will receive 9,500 dollars as a year-end bonus.โExcellent workers who performed well and were complimented two or more times will receive 95,000 dollars!โThose who contributed outstandingly and are irreplaceable in the company will receive 950,000 dollars!โAlso, the year-end bonuses will be given out in cash on the spotโฆโWhen Josh announced all that, the whole office

Javier could not help giving a thumbs-up in answer to Jadeโs words.โOur Jade is really smart, eh? Tell me how you do it. Youโre so beautiful and hot, and youโre intelligent. Youโre really making me like you more.โJade giggled. โStop it. Youโve been fooling me with the same thing for more than half a year. Iโm silly, so I believe it each time you say it and feel pleased about it.โJavier asked, โDo you still believe it now?โJade answered shyly, โAs long as it comes from my husband, Iโll always believe it. ForeverโฆโJavier did have an ulterior motive for squashing Roy and helping Sally. Not only did he despise Roy, but heโd wanted to save Sally heroically so Clouston would know him.When Javier had chatted with Chad previously, they had agreed that Reivaj Group was expanding and required a walking business card. This so-called walking business card was the personal charisma of the companyโs leader.Take Apple and Steve Jobs or Alibaba and Jack Ma for example. Once the company w

โKeep an eye out then. Better safe than sorry.โJavier furrowed his brows, not knowing if the person Ingrid had mentioned was targeting him. If that was the case, who had sent the person?The question remained unanswered. Of course, it was unanswered because Ingrid could not catch that person. The latter had only been roaming below their building. There was no reason for Ingrid to seize them, so this could only remain a mystery for now.Ultimately, Javier invited Ingrid to the island repeatedly, stating that they could get someone to check their place in detail when they returned, but the woman still rejected him.Seeing that she was firm about her decision, Javier said no more.โIng, I have nothing else to say. Just let me know if thereโs anything I can help with.โIngrid spoke up lecherously. โI think thereโs something youโd definitely be able to help with.โJavier waved his hands swiftly. โUh, Ing, I have something to do. Iโll be heading upstairs!โIngrid chuckled. She was j

After Javier pondered it for a while, he decided to grant Luca that honor.โHurry up and get your *ss over here right now! Bring whoever you wish.โLuca was not Chad, so he was in no position to negotiate with Javier.If Javier had not taken into consideration that Luca had tried to gain his favor and how much effort Lucaโs father had put into Xerxes Village, Javier probably would not have made that phone call.Thus, the moment Luca received that phone call, he took Edelgard with him and rushed over there.โDid you want to see me about something, Javier?โJavier patted his shoulder. โItโs something so good that even your old man will yearn for it.โAside from Luca, Edelgard, Lloyd, Carmen, Mary Jane, Chad, and his family, Javier even brought Sam with him.Sam did not even need to be called. He went up to Javier, saying that he was single and he wanted to share a meal with Javier.Since Sam had been recently helping Javier with his work, of course the latter would allow him to

After the helicopters landed on the island, two luxurious Rolls Royce limousines drove over to welcome them.The first driver who arrived seemed to be a little unskilled and even ended up parking the car at a crooked angle.However, when the limousineโs door opened, everyoneโs eyes sparkled, especially the eyes of Edelgard and Jade, the two beauties. When they saw the person who got out of the car, they somehow felt threatened, although not with ill intent. Instead, they felt like their beauty was severely challenged at that moment.Then, the beautiful woman who got out of the car ran over and threw herself into Javierโs arms like a fragrant gust of wind.โJavier, youโre back!โJavier stroked Ciaraโs head and then told her, โMary Janeโs here, so behave yourself.โCiara giggled happily and stood before Mary Jane. Then, she wrapped her arms around Mary Janeโs neck and kissed her, leaving behind a pink lipstick stain. โI missed you, Aunt MJ. Iโve been dreaming about you every night.

The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 875 What Is This Four-Legged B*tch Trying to Do?
As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the โmanโ in the word โwomanโโin that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greeneโs apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three daysโ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Thenโโbecause I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,โ according to Bernadettaโshe amended the peace offer, changing the three daysโ free meals toโฆa weekโs worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. โI canโt thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t

Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old ladyโs lawn. โItโs him, officers! Itโs all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! Heโs the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!โShe turned and trained her finger on Javier. โYou vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!โโBack at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!โ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. โOh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greeneโs bra because he isโฆthe Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!โ Javier threw his arms up in exasperation

Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! โWhat kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!โ Javier wondered to himself aloud. โWas this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?โBaffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. โHush, itโs alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet andโฆโ Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe himโand for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latterโs electric scooter was. While
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 872 Honey, Iโm Not Crazy, This Dog Is Magical!
A resentful wailโinterspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangledโwas echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of โhell, naw!โ, Florence dove into Javierโs arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a โhelp-me!โ sort of way. She was soft and suppleโdamn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea

The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: โJust you f*cking wait, hooman!โโWait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?โ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old womanโs sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. โI mean, I donโt object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, butโฆโ She faltered a

Florence called half an hour later to tell him where theyโd be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadettaโs care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.โItโs so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?โ he moaned. โIโm sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. Youโre a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? Iโm sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dogโs welfare to think things through. She didnโt mean it. I can vouch for

Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensembleโblack leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, โYou brought all the stuff I told you to?โโYo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. Iโve got all the preparations down pat. You can check โem if you donโt trust me,โ Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. โSee? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.โAfter a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. โBoss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that youโre gonna call me โbossโ while youโre there?โJavier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

Javierโs suspicion turned to Constance Hellmanโs white Pomeranian. He turned to the directorโs office and met the dogโs eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangsโbeaming as smugly as a teacherโs pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the bossโs favoriteโmade it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javierโs gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, โIโm just your average dog! Nothing to see here!โAnd then it feignedโyes, feignedโa yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. โWhat. The. Actual. F*ck?!โ Javier thundered in his mind. โB*tchโs a natural actress! Whatโs it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?โIn combination with Russellโs report, the incident inside the directorโs of

As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.โOh, baby, whatโs the matter? Did you hurt your leg?โThe white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constanceโs concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. โMr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I canโt help doubting your motive now.โIโm skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when youโd even hit a cute dog!โJavier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, โMadam Hellman, I didnโt do anything!โConstance asked angrily, โYou didnโt do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!โJavier was in distress as well. โHow would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
