Right after leaving, Javier ran into a woman with rose-red long hair and a low-cut camisole. She seemed even more youthful and sexy, as her slender legs were hidden in thin white stockings.Most importantly, this was a woman Javier knew!โZoey?!โโIsnโt she Zoey Faye? The online celebrity that I ran into at a concert half a month ago? Sheโs the one who said she wanted to return 75,000 dollars to me!โJavier was very surprised, as he had never thought she would show up there.Faye was equally surprised to see Javier. โJavier? What are you doing at my house?โโYour house?!โโDo you two know each other?โRobin joined the conversation and seemed especially surprised to see Javier and Zoeyโs dumbfounded expressions.Then, he explained that Zoey was actually his daughter.Meanwhile, Zoey also briefly explained that she and Javier had met one another at a concert.However, Zoey did not mention anything about her live stream, probably because Robin did not support her in this aspect

Zoey instantly panicked when she saw Javier hitting Jim.โWhat are you doing?! Jimmyโs my friend! I wonโt let you be so disrespectful to him!โZoey seemed to be panicking for real. She definitely wanted to get her tour guide permit as quickly as possible and was afraid that Jim would not give it to her if she offended him. Hence, Javier was prepared to grab Jim and prove to Zoey that he was nothing more than a scammer.However, his movements caused Zoey to misunderstand him once more, and she thought that Javier was going to beat Jim up again.Hence, she pushed him away and said, โLeave! Iโll pay you back the money I owe you. Now, stop hitting my friend!โJavier was left feeling very depressed. โHow the heck can she not tell whoโs the good guy here?!โJavier could no longer be bothered to deal with the situation when he saw how genuinely concerned Zoey was for Jim.There was no need for him to put in the effort to prove anything since time would eventually reveal the truth. Th
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 672 Why Has He Been Released?!
Even though Zoey was a very sexy and beautiful woman, Javier could not bring himself to do it with a drugged person.Although he was definitely no gentleman himself, he still had the decency to not take advantage of someone else.So, in order to ensure that he would not be tempted, he whacked Zoey once again and made her lay down on the bed unconscious.Javier headed to the bathroom and took a cold shower before he was able to wash away his fatigue and urges. After a while, he headed to the living room, opened a can of cold beer, and took a few sips.โFinally, I managed to cool down entirely and not feel the urge to do it with Zoey.โThat night, Javier slept on the couch instead of returning to his bedroom. It was not until the next morning that he woke up after being interrupted by some rustling noise.Opening his eyes, Javier saw Zoey tip-toeing toward the exit with a red face.He then said, โWhy are you running away? Are you afraid that I might have my way with you?โThe

In truth, Javier had already made arrangements to retaliate against Kaidenโs petty little tricks long ago.Javier was a man who would never get involved in a fight he was not sure of winning. Therefore, since he had the guts to go up against Kaiden so openly, it must be because he was confident that he would emerge victorious.Hence, after he was taken into the police cruiser that morning, the leading inspector received a phone call from the higher-ups.The conversation was very short and simpleโฆThey were to release Javier regardless of what he had done. The leading inspector thought that the entire situation was extremely ridiculous. โAre we still living in a lawful country?! Why is he being released just because weโve been asked to release him?!โโAre you an idiot? Our superiors are the ones who personally called to get this done, so of course our countryโs laws are still in place!โAfter the lecture, the person on the other end of the line said, โAlso, have Kaiden arrested im
The Ace at the Apexย ย ย Chapter 674 An Example of Excellence
Javier was not going to show Phineas the slightest hint of respect.So what if he was the chairman of Maple Court? Javier himself was the CEO of Reivaj Group, so Phineas was definitely inferior in comparison to him.Besides, Javier mostly understood how Maple Court operated. There were only a few more matters he could learn from Robin, so there was not much point in him staying there anymore.Thus, why would he have to show respect to Phineas? After scorning him, Javier hung up the phone and then packed up his things before leaving with Robin.Initially, they had planned on returning to Robinโs house to celebrate after they were done with work for the day. But now, they did not need to wait any longer because they had both resigned.On the way there, Javier asked, โRobin, what are you going to do now that you resigned from your position so rashly?โRobin did not seem to be bothered in the slightest. โIt doesnโt matter at all! Iโm a competent person, so Iโll find a job anywhere.

Robin explained a lot of things to Zoey, but the latter was completely dumbfounded, still unable to believe what had just happened. It was not until she extended her hand to touch Javierโs face that she realized that the man before her was indeed a living, breathing person.โOh my God, you really are Javier! Are you really the CEO of Reivaj Group as well? Youโre really awesome!โAfter that shocked exclamation, Zoey asked, โWhereโs your mask? Can I play with it, please?โJavier was rendered speechless. He had wholeheartedly thought Zoey would be even more interested in him now that she was aware of his identity, but she ended up only being interested in his mask.When he pointed at the pile of ash in the ashtray, Zoey looked very depressed. โWhy did you burn it? I wanted to play with it!โโAll you know is how to play. Javierโs only two years older than you, yet heโs already become the CEO of Reivaj Group!โZoey stuck out her tongue and left after asking Javier to have some fruit

It would take more than a whim for Javier to bring Maple Court to its knees. The limitation had nothing to do with a lack of training or skills and everything to do with speed. If he were to strike, it would have to be like lightning.After leaving the Fayes, he contacted Mary Jane Gould.Maple Courtโs stocks were on the market, so the key to demolishing it was right there. As a stock kingmaker, Mary Jane could part seas or sink ships if she so chose with easeโand it was only going to get easier with the Kerseysโ funding backing her up.By 10 in the morning, Phineas received some devastating news.โMr. Maple? Someone bypassed the stock market regulations and launched a financial campaign against us!โPhineas did not care for these technicalities. All he cared about was how much he might be losing. โAnd how much blood are we losing? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?โโAll of it, sir,โ his deputy financial director answered with a gulp. โOur enemy has invested a billion dollars into

Getting punched in the face and then having the ladies get snatched up by the guy who had done it p*ssed Jim off a lot. He might not be an *ss-kicking bad*ss, but d*mn it, he had always been at least good at hyping himself up about being one. This son of a b*tch had sent his front teeth flying, and now Jim could not even toot his own trumpet.The next best thing he could do was run up to his boss, Craig โBuckโ Buckley, and recount the entire sequence of events with as much incendiary embellishment as he could muster. He mentioned how much Javier had dissed him and how much he had laughed at him.The perceived insult proved too much for Buck, who fit the stereotype of a silent but violent thug leader. His spleen shot up to the roof, his anger dialing up to eleven. With one word, he commanded all of his followers to surround Javier.โWho the f*ck are you? Those are my babes youโre touching. You really are itching to die if you wanna pick a fight with us!โJavier squeezed his arms aro

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
