《The Ace at the Apex》全部章節：第 801 章 - 第 810 章

Wilson rushed out of the office with his men before he could dwell on it, dashing to the accident site.Joey stopped, standing rooted there in shock, as she could not understand how an accident could have happened when they were just tearing down a washroom. Wholeheartedly hoping that there would be no casualties, she tossed the folder and hurried out of the office.When she passed by Javier, however, she glared daggers at him.“You unlucky man. You jinxed this and brought us bad luck. Would something have happened if you hadn’t made sh*t up?!”Javier scoffed. He had warned them that the excavation could not go on, but he had become a jinx now.In spite of this, the accident had already happened and this argument was pointless. He hurried to the excavation site as well.There was a washroom at the southwest corner of Aurora Academy, but students rarely used it since it was far from the classrooms and the dorms. Joey had planned to renovate and turn it into a pond to improve the s

Javier was in the backseat of the Mercedes-Benz S450 while Wilson chatted animatedly with him.The chauffeur was bewildered. He knew that the young man was the good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Dennisons and the chairman looked down on him usually. Why was the chairman acting so obsequiously around the young man today?The chauffeur could not figure it out, but he thought that he could become a chairman too if he did understand why.When they had almost reached the restaurant, Javier’s phone rang and Evanna’s name started flashing on the screen. Once the call was connected, while Javier had yet to speak, Evanna’s voice came from the other end of the line.“Javier, you’re the man now, huh? Got a temper now, is that so? I criticized you a bit, you’re not coming home for dinner?”The speaker was a little loud, so Javier felt kind of awkward that Wilson was hearing the conversation. Before he could say anything about it, Wilson grabbed his phone.“Hello? Evanna? I’m Uncle Wilson.

Javier was pulled off by Wilson as soon as he exited the bathroom, leaving a stunned Evanna in the living room.Hasty footsteps were heard next as Joey hurried downstairs. When she was on the last step, she took the time to smooth out her clothes and hair before she made her appearance in the living room. With a beaming face, she said, “Wilson, it’s not nice for others to see you come to see me this early in the morning. I think it’s better that you meet me in the office next time. We’ll—Eh, where’s Wilson?”Joey looked around, but there was no Wilson there.Evanna spoke up from the side. “Mom, stop being vain. He was here for Javier, and they both left.”That was awkward for Joey. She had spent all that time dressing up for nothing. Despite that, she did not understand. “Why was Wilson here to meet Javier this early in the morning?”Evanna replied weakly, “Who knows? And he talked to me as though I was trying to sabotage him.”That confused Joey even more, as she had no idea wha

Jared leaned against the car door in the cruising car and perched his legs up on the backseat, looking relaxed, completely unlike how poised he was in front of others.Master Uri Copeland, who was said to have come from the Arcadian Order, sat in the passenger seat with his seatbelt on obediently.“Uri, it’s been a few years since you started fortune telling on the streets and you’ve come across many people. How did a piece of trash manage to expose you? If I hadn’t saved the day just now, you’d have been a goner!”Uri chuckled awkwardly and nodded. “Yes, yes, Mr. Griffin, you are really clever. I’d have exposed myself if it weren’t for you.”“Duh. Do I need you to remind me that I’m clever?”Jared scoffed at Uri and shook his legs on the seat leisurely, looking triumphant as he lay back against the car door.“No one will dare lay a finger on the construction site after what happened today, and that land’s price is going to drop further for sure. I’ll just buy it without making a

A man from Gerra Construction Corp’s financial department arrived while the two of them were talking. He had a bag of 15,000 dollars with him. Wilson was a man of his word, at the very least. True to his promise, he put the bag in Javier’s arms before adding sheepishly, “Look, Javier, Joey is your mother-in-law, okay? I just think…it’s not a good idea to make things hard for her, y-you know?”Javier smiled after receiving his money. “Calm down, Mr. Jolley. I was joking. I can’t hurt Evanna’s mother in any way, shape, or form, right? Besides, this is your money. If I hit her with a stash of money you gave me, she’s only gonna come for your head too.”Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. “Right! That’s exactly right! Ha, I knew you’d understand!” He had to revisit his past judgment of the kid from now on—he had underestimated Javier too much. Not only was he inhumanely gifted, but he was also super talented in all matters related to social interaction and relationships. It actually ma
