Chapter 3 You’re Really Something

Author: Nine Linked Rings
Terry was intoxicated by Ciara’s beauty but once he heard what she had said, he was infuriated, especially after seeing his beloved car being squashed into a pancake.

But before he could say anything, Ciara walked up to him with her long legs which were cladded in a pair of black tights. Stunned, Terry fell under the bewitching gaze of the lady’s eyes. It was as if they were sucking his soul away. When the girl reached him, she said threateningly with a grin on her face, “Keep staring and I’ll dig your eyes out, yeah?”

She was smiling but Terry felt chills running down his spine and he unconsciously averted his gaze.

No longer bothered with Terry, Ciara went to Selena and pinched the girl’s chin while raising her face like she was teasing the latter. After some scrutiny, Ciara giggled. Her gaze was mocking.

“My brother said that you’re beautiful, inside and out, and married you despite our family’s protest. We offended the Soroys because of this and grandpa got so angry that he banned everyone from attending your wedding. My brother’s done so much for you and this is how you repay him?”

Selena did not understand what Ciara was saying but she did not like the girl holding her chin. She reached out a hand to swat her away. Just as she raised her arm, Ciara had let go of her and landed a harsh slap on Selena’s face.

“Who do you think you are? How many women could only dream of marrying into the Kerseys? But you didn’t appreciate it and complained that my brother is poor. On top of that, you hooked up with some other man when my brother only had eyes for you? Wow, you really are something!”

Following that, Ciara pulled out the same cell phone that Javier had and made a call after she passed the retinal scan.

“Mackenzie, come here right now. Come get rid of two pieces of trash for me. They’re at—”

A large hand snatched Ciara’s phone away before she could finish her sentence.

“Mackenzie, it’s me. It’s nothing, ignore Cici.”

Hanging up, Javier glared wordlessly at Ciara and confiscated the custom cellphone. Ciara rolled her eyes and threw another slap onto Selena’s face without any forewarning.

“My brother doesn’t have it in him to get petty with you but I’m not that nice. You don’t like my brother being poor, right? Okay, I’ll show you how poor he is!”

Ciara marched toward the USSV Rhino GX, pulled out a box, and threw it toward Selena. In the box were at least a dozen luxury packages with their brand names and logos printed on their fronts—Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, Prada, and whatnot. Recognizing the brands was not a challenge to Selena who frequently browsed luxury brand websites.

“Before last night, these were presents that I had prepared for you. They’re all custom-made orders, you won’t find these anywhere else in the world. But now, I ask you, Selena Lewis, do you think you will deserve them?”

Crouching to shove the luxury goods to one side, Ciara rummaged through the box and pulled out bottle after bottle of luxury branded perfume. She tore open the packages, twisted the caps open, and poured all of the bottles of perfume, each worth one of Terry’s Audi TT, all over the box. She then pulled out a cigarette from her purse, lit it up, and threw the lighter right to the box.

When the perfume met the flames of the lighter, sparks flew and a raging fire came to life within the box immediately. Selena was so shocked that she took several steps back.

Ciara who caught Selena’s reaction scoffed, “Looks like you still have a sense of self-awareness and know that you’re unworthy.”

With the cigarette between her fingers, Ciara climbed into the tank that she had driven here. Patting the car, she introduced it to Selena, “The latest Rhino GX. Its official starting price is 657 thousand dollars. Personalized and modified in USSV Cali, this baby was specifically flown in an exclusive jet in celebration of my brother coming of age. After all the modifications it has gone through, it’s worth at least 1.1 million dollars and it’s not for sale.”

Hopping down from the car, Ciara walked up to Selena again. Ciara smirked as she asked, “Why, I also heard that you’ve tossed the gift my brother gave you. Do you even know what’s inside? That’s the reputable Messer card from Messer-Reid Currency Marketplace!

“You don’t even know what a Messer card is, huh? I guess I don’t mind being patient and explaining it to you. It’s—”

“Alright, alright. Ciara, let’s go!”

Javier interrupted Ciara and tugged her hand to leave but the latter yanked her hand back and continued telling Selena with a grin on her face, “My brother’s stopping me from speaking but I still want to let you know what you’ve actually missed out on. Ten million dollars was banked into the Messer card at midnight yesterday and several more ten million dollars will roll in every month from now on. This is what my brother has and what you call poor?!

“Selena, Selena, have you gone blind? That must be why you abandoned a fat cat like my brother, thinking he’s some stray and hooked yourself onto a little mouse?”

  • The Ace at the Apex   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 “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t 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

  • The Ace at the Apex   Chapter 874 I’m Having Meatballs Tonight

    Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ 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. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” 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! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was 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?”Baffled 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. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” 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 him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While

    A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was 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 “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s 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 “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, 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: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ 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 woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

    Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s 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.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for

    Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black 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, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

    Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s 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 fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of

    As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How 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
