The breathalyzer did not pick up any traces of alcohol. The traffic police asked about other relevant information and told Javier, "It's pretty clear from the details of this accident that you're entirely responsible for it. This lady is not at fault. You should head over to the insurance company and settle this privately!" The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said proudly. "Serves you right for going all mental and hitting my car!" The traffic policeman glanced at the fat woman and shook his head helplessly. A person's poor character was none of their concern. They were responsible only for handling the accident. Javier sniggered. He neither looked at the fat woman nor bothered to argue with her. All he did was say to the traffic police, "I object to the way you enforce the law and I refuse to settle this in private." The traffic policeman was stunned. He felt that he had done his job so well that there could not possibly be grounds for an objection. He even trie
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 246 Can Only Think About It
Javier wanted to buy a car, but it was probably one of the worst days to do so. It was only the fifth day of the new year and many places were still closed. After realizing the place did not have cars, he brought Ciel to the state capital as a sort of road trip while going there to buy a car. They enjoyed themselves in the state capital for three days, until all the stores finally opened on the eighth day of the new year. Ciel was glowing after recharging for three days, and Javier visited almost all the sales outlets that were open. Since he convinced Ciel to accept his gift, she eventually settled on a Mercedes-Benz GLK300. The car was not big. It was 4.5 meters long, so it was almost classified as a compact SUV. It was smaller than the domestic SUV, which was 4.67 meters long, but that size was perfect for Ciel. Javier thought that it was the perfect car for her in light of her petite stature. Her temperament matched that car perfectly. Javier managed to buy a car
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 247 Touching
The saleswoman performed an internet search and found out that it was true. He was an internet celebrity who was rich, handsome, and very young. He was referred to as the nation's boyfriend by many female netizens. "Is he really that rich?!" The saleswoman was startled and secretly thankful that she had maintained a good attitude earlier. If such a powerful character complained about her, she might have to spend her future in agony. After ending the call, Javier bid the saleswoman goodbye and left with Ciel. The saleswoman looked at Javier from afar and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She started to envy Ciel even more, for she would have loved for Javier to be her boyfriend! Even so, she knew that fantasizing was the most she could do. Her best chance of realizing that fantasy was by hoping she dreamt of it when she slept! After returning from the state capital, Javier enjoyed a couple of days with Ciel and continued to get down to business. Things had s
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 248 Ackerman, a Global Phenomenon!
The reason Javier had come here was to utilize his connections and intervene so that his movie could be pushed into becoming the best film and winning the Osborn Award. Then, heโd be able to achieve the objective he had set out to accomplish and fulfill Cillianโs final wish.However, when he watched โAckermanโ, Javier completely gave up on the idea. Even though Saoirse had already found a few contacts for the judges, he still gave up meeting them completely.The reason for this was none other than because Javier realized that he would be humiliating both Mr. Gander and Cillian. On top of that, he would be humiliating โAckermanโ, which was a movie that was very moving on its own.If anything was more important than Javier winning this award, it would be letting this pure piece of film exude its charm on its own. This was the very script that Cillian had spent the last moments of his life to complete, so Javier was not going to allow any of his personal interests to get mixed into
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 249 A Wide Array of Nominations
During the past three months, โAckermanโ had won almost all the nominations possible, including Best Director, Best Actor/Actress, Best Scriptwriter, etcโฆ The movie had won so many nominations that everyone involved almost felt their breath get taken away. Finally, when it was time to announce the winners, Mr. Gander led the group of producers on the stage. Saoirse, the investor of the movie, had also attended the award ceremony.Of course, Javier, who was the most notable person behind this film, was not left behind.โThe 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Filmography Award goes toโฆ โAckermanโ from ChineaโฆโโThe 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Scriptwriting Award goes toโฆ โAckerman'' from ChineaโฆโโThe 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Directing Award goes toโฆ โAckerman'' from ChineaโฆโโThe 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Actor Award goes toโฆ โAckerman'' from ChineaโฆโโThe 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Movie Award goes toโฆ โAckerman'' from Chine
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 250 Such Strength!
After the phone call was connected, Javier asked, โWhereโs this information you were talking about? I already have the Osborn Award in my hands.โHowever, the old fox was chuckling away as he said, โI watched the live broadcast last night. Not bad at all. You managed to win five out of the seven awards! Tsk, tsk!โJavier rather enjoyed being complimented by the old fox.However, at that moment, he wanted to know the information regarding his parents even more.After he asked about it continuously, the old fox finally said, โYouโre the one who said that the information was on the underside, not me. I placed it in its stomach, so all you have to do is smash it.โJavier was slightly stunned. โI spent the better half of the past year to painstakingly win this award, yet youโre now asking me to smash it?โThe old fox then asked in return, โArenโt you planning on breaking whatever record you just made? Are you planning on being content with the glory you have forever?โJavier immediat

โGod, IโฆI donโt know! I just took it to take a look at it, a-a-and it just cracked! I didnโt do anything, so why did it crack?โ Dana cried, flummoxed and not at all sure what was happening. The trophy had looked fine, like no other, so how had it cracked into two just because she had lifted it out of curiosity?Then, her eyes drifted to the twitching lips on Javierโs face, which formed a snicker, desperately trying to hold a smile back.Damn it, she had just been trolled!โYou annoying littleโ!โ Dana blustered, stomping her feet. โYou pulled off this annoying prank to scare me!โShe was a forty-something-year-old woman in high heels, yet she looked adorable and not at all like other women her age. There was nothing jarring about her actions and age either. In Javierโs opinion, this only added to her charm.A beat later, Dana asked out loud, โWhy break the little golden statue like that?โJavier took a deep breath. โArenโt successes meant to be shattered so you can reach new heigh

โWell, Mr. Kersey. That wasโฆsomething. As unique as it was curt.โJavier was about to get into his car with his documents in hand when Quinna gave the man her review.He laughed. โThatโs because youโve been distracting me with your stunning beauty, Miss Aurum. My mind just got so utterly messed up that I could hardly think straight!โQuinna captivated him with a sweet smile. โReally? You donโt seem messed up.โJavier was about to woo his new target when he suddenly remembered the World Car Award. โSay, Miss Aurum, youโre the expert here. Iโd like to know something.โCertain that Javier was just another stereotypical playboy, Quinna had been smiling at him out of sheer decorum, work ethic, and little else. The H7 model would make decent sales if just a few clients with big coffers like him supported it, so there was not much to talk about.Seeing the seriousness in Javierโs features and speech pattern, though, surprised Quinna. Without so much as letting her smile falter, she repl

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
