âW-What are you doing!?âJennie felt frightened when she looked at Javierâs fiery and passionate gaze.In the next instant, Javier suddenly shifted his gaze toward the glove box in front of Jennie and reached out.Jennie was shocked and thought Javier would do something to her, so she hurriedly opened the door and fled.It was not until she had gotten out that she realizedâĶâJavier was only planning on opening his glove box!âJavier opened up the glove box, which contained a bank card and two flight tickets. âThere are 3 million dollars in the card, and these flight tickets are to Sammius.âIâve looked into your background and found that your motherâs illness isnât terminal. Instead, the Linwoods have never intended on curing her, so thereâs no need for you to think about how well theyâve been treating you all this time. On the contrary, theyâve been taking advantage of you countless times.âJennie was shocked upon listening to this. She never thought that Javier would investig
After approximately two minutes, all 30 men were lying on the floor, each one of them bloodied. In fact, those with minor injuries were those who had sustained knee or shoulder fractures. Jackson just stood on the spot with his legs trembling throughout the entire fight, unlike how menacing he had seemed a moment ago. He wanted to flee, but his legs refused to listen to his commands and remained stiff.Most importantly, Jackson ended up wetting himself when Javier walked toward him. âDid he just wet himself? Did I manage to scare him sh*tless!?ââH-H-Help me! Help me!!!â Jackson yelled at the top of his lungs, but nobody was around to answer his cries for help.It was not until Javier had gotten close to him that he reacted. Javier slammed his jack directly at Jacksonâs neck.After a while, Jacksonâs mouth was still open, but instead of crying for help, he could only spurt out blood.After that, Jackson got on his knees and begged Javier to spare his life by trying to make som
Jennie left after not being able to contain her embarrassment, which was far from being as fearless as Javier.Meanwhile, Dahlia did not join Javier in his shower either. Even if she wanted to, it would be with a knife in hand to kill him.âD*mn that shameless man to h*ll!âJavier was not going to bother himself with such trivial matters as he leisurely entered the bathroom to get a shower.Dahlia was still sitting on the sofa when he got out, filled with frustration. Leaving her alone with her emotions, Javier headed into the kitchen very shortly and returned with some food he had bought from the restaurant earlier that afternoon.âI know you must be tired from the entire dayâs work, so I bought you some food when I was out eating this afternoon. Donât worry, these arenât leftovers.âAfter placing the food on the table in front of Dahlia, Javier sat by the side and gave Doug a phone call.âDoug, I want you to fly here and make the arrangements to take over from JennieâĶâDahl
Doug came over and completed the legal person takeover from Jennie. Legally, Reivaj Construction belonged to Doug from today onward.That was because Javierâs instruction for him was simple. Doug was to bring people from the court and finance to take over the company directly.As Jacksonâs father, Jett was regularly practicing some yoga exercises in the garden, looking quite well-versed in them. He seemed seasoned in the movements, though he grew anxious and frantic the next moment.Someone in the company had called him to inform him that the legal person of Reivaj Construction had changed and that it was forcefully taken over.Jett was furious. It was f*cking impossible. The legal person was Jennie. How could that change? He had hidden the truth well from Jennie, and the latter would never notice anything wrong. Despite that, his subordinate in the company had sent him a secretly recorded video with people from the court, finance, and notary officeâĶJett was stunned as he watched
Similarly, Javier did not do anything. Just the right amount and degree of intimacy was unavoidable, except it could not be described.Javier officially took over the construction company here upon returning to it.Everyone was baffled when they found out that Reivaj Construction had backed out during the routine weekly meeting. The company was their greatest enemy, and they had failed to triumph over such an enemy no matter how much they had cracked their heads over it. Yet, said enemy backed out without lasting for even three days when it came to Javier.Everyone was simply astonished, not understanding how Javier had done it and how the formidable enemy had just backed down. Despite that, Javier would not divulge the information. He only wanted the construction efficiency here to be increased.Dahlia supported his request, and the others quickly expressed that they would improve the construction efficiency.Javier did not return to Dahliaâs place for the following days but spen
The secretary informed Javier and Dahlia that they had dug out some bones at the construction site. The police had cordoned off the area and said that the bones found might not be all. There could be more around the site. That was why the place would have to be sealed off for some time, and it would cause the construction progress to halt.Dahlia frowned at once. âHQâs watching this batch of houses, and we have a completion deadline. We already have a tight timeline to follow, and people are working overtime and overnight, yet the police are now closing the place off for some time. ThisâââThis isnât the issue, and the issue doesnât lie here at all.âJavier had thought much further than Dahlia. He was the chairman of Reivaj Group, so it meant that he had to be far more perceptive. Dahlia had never been a chairman, however, so she would not understand what Javier was talking about.Javier continued to say, âThe issue is that word will get out once the police cordon off the site. Onc
The executive meeting was held that afternoon itself, and even those who were not around attended through a video conference.Robin first asked everyone the solution to the matter in the meeting, and the replies were either lowering the price to sell the houses or trading the land off with a lower price. The solutions only caused the chairman, Phineas Maple, to glower.If these were what the high-level executives could come up with, why would he need these useless people? For the size of their heads and bellies? Was it all sh*t in there? While Phineas fumed silently, Robin spoke up to introduce Javier.âThis is Javier Kersey. I believe everyone here knows him. He used to be the sales exemplar our company has openly promoted and is now the head of the construction company for the East Chinea region, as well as the person-in-charge for the land with the current issue.âOf course, Javier isnât to be blamed for the landâs issue since no one could know whatâs there underneath, so my p
After the executive meeting, Kaiden returned to his company, glowering. Javier had called him a sc*m in front of so many high-level executives, and he was even proven wrong after that. It disgruntled him as he felt like he was embarrassed. If the chairman had not taken Javierâs side, he would have beaten the latter upâthat was, if he had the guts.That did not stop Kaiden from fuming inwardly, though, nor did it stop him from kicking his table and chair when he returned to his office.As his secretary, Jayden was fast to appease him. âMr. Johnstone, whatâs the matter? Who angered you? Donât be mad.âAs he coaxed the man, he was slapped, stunning him.âNo, wait. Mr. Johnstone, why are you slapping me?ââWhy am I slapping you? A slap is already a light one. I want to fire you!âKaiden snarled, âIf it werenât for you, would Javier have picked on me in front of everyone?âI listened to you and transferred him to East Chinea Construction, making it an open promotion but an implicit d
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 âmanâ in the word âwomanââin that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greeneâs apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three daysâ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Thenââbecause I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,â according to Bernadettaâshe amended the peace offer, changing the three daysâ free meals toâĶa weekâs worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. âI canât 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 ladyâs lawn. âItâs him, officers! Itâs all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! Heâs the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!âShe turned and trained her finger on Javier. âYou vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!ââBack at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!â 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. âOh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greeneâs bra because he isâĶthe Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!â 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! âWhat kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!â Javier wondered to himself aloud. âWas 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?âBaffled 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. âHush, itâs alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet andâĶâ 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 himâand for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latterâs electric scooter was. While
A resentful wailâinterspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangledâwas 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 âhell, naw!â, Florence dove into Javierâs 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 âhelp-me!â sort of way. She was soft and suppleâdamn, 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: âJust you f*cking wait, hooman!ââWait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?â 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 womanâs sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. âI mean, I donât object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, butâĶâ She faltered a
Florence called half an hour later to tell him where theyâd be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadettaâs 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.âItâs so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?â he moaned. âIâm sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. Youâre a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? Iâm sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dogâs welfare to think things through. She didnât mean it. I can vouch for
Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensembleâblack 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, âYou brought all the stuff I told you to?ââYo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. Iâve got all the preparations down pat. You can check âem if you donât trust me,â Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. âSee? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.âAfter a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. âBoss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that youâre gonna call me âbossâ while youâre there?âJavier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It
Javierâs suspicion turned to Constance Hellmanâs white Pomeranian. He turned to the directorâs office and met the dogâs 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 fangsâbeaming as smugly as a teacherâs pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the bossâs favoriteâmade it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javierâs gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, âIâm just your average dog! Nothing to see here!âAnd then it feignedâyes, feignedâa yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. âWhat. The. Actual. F*ck?!â Javier thundered in his mind. âB*tchâs a natural actress! Whatâs it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?âIn combination with Russellâs report, the incident inside the directorâs of
As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.âOh, baby, whatâs the matter? Did you hurt your leg?âThe white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constanceâs concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. âMr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I canât help doubting your motive now.âIâm skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when youâd even hit a cute dog!âJavier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, âMadam Hellman, I didnât do anything!âConstance asked angrily, âYou didnât do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!âJavier was in distress as well. âHow 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
