The Ace at the Apex Chapter 155 An Extremely Busy Person
Of course, Javier knew what Chessie was really trying to ask. However, when he saw how beautiful and enticing the woman lying next to him was, he could not help becoming a little flirty.Then, he said, “I’m actually a…”Just as Javier was about to say something, Chessie reached out with her finger to silence him, refusing to allow Javier to continue. “It’s alright. You don’t have to say anything. It doesn’t matter who you are. You still won’t be able to stop my urge to pay you 95 dollars.”Javier felt that this urge of hers was really good and deserved praise! Thus, he sped up and rushed the rest of the way to the hotel.The moment they both entered their room, it was already guaranteed that they were going to have a very intense “battle” over those 95 dollars…Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Sure enough, the FBI and the police worked together to apprehend a whole group of people.A few sting operations to remove some underworld forces had taken place, and almost

The man in the Ferrari took his shades off, and Javier instantly recognized him. It was none other than Luca Pangani—the bigshot from the Easton Group who had nonetheless been skewered pretty blisteringly by Javier before in Xerxes Village.As for the young woman he had managed to woo over this time, it was not hard to guess who she was: Edelgard Weiss. Still, the fact that she had followed Luca here surprised Javier. He had thought he would never cross paths with Edelgard again. Who knew she would come to him herself this time?While he was pondering this, the door to his office creaked open, revealing Jade, who strode right in. “Honey, your darling Edie has come to see you! Oh, Luca’s here too.”That night in Xerxes Village, when Javier and Edelgard had had sex accidentally, was not something Jade had missed, which was why Javier could taste the jealousy dripping from the corner of her lips even if he did not look for it.He stepped forward and pulled Jade—black, form-fitting und

Word from Edelgard was that she was somehow getting negative coverage for no apparent reason. She felt that she was being targeted by a rather incessant hater, as the internet was filled with all kinds of anti-Edelgard sentiments. A lot of the hate and slander was just senseless, but it was pervasive enough that she was worried it might cause some trouble at the meet-n-greet.Jade was confident in their ability to tackle this. “Don’t worry about this. We won’t let anything like that happen. We’ve hosted similar events before in the past, so we know enough to focus on security and all other aspects. We’ll also exercise tight control over what kind of media will be present. In particular, all private citizen media will be banned from attending the event.”Hearing Jade explicitly singling out private citizen media was a relief. It was exactly what Edelgard had been thinking. Private citizen media had the tendency to be unregulated and without standards despite enjoying a massive followi

Thorin’s brazen putdown made Luca’s mien change.Luca’s father had always looked down on the “gang” Thorin was currently bragging and being so smug about. His old man had always thought they were below his standards. And then there was Javier, who had dismissed Luca’s father because high and mighty Mr. Pangani was way below Javier’s pedigree!Now, under a hierarchy like this, Thorin was sneering at Javier as though he was his superior?! How insane could this guy get?At this rate, he might as well strip himself naked before prowling around seedy streets to match the degree of his insanity!Luca opened his mouth, ready to shoot Thorin down, but Javier put his hand up and stopped him.The lack of opposition from Luca emboldened Thorin even more, and his rant became more and more uninhibited. “Listen, beautiful. A gorgeous sweetheart like yourself gotta make herself known in the entertainment industry, babe. You deserve to be standing in the spotlight, being showered by millions of c
Last Updated : 2022-03-07The Ace at the Apex Chapter 159 Trouble at the Meet-n-Greet
Two days had passed since the Thorin Gerard incident. Things had been going swimmingly, and the company was bustling with activity as they planned and prepared for Edelgard’s meet-n-greet. Jade also found herself devoting a lot of her time and effort to make it a success.If she were to personally rank her relationship with the actress, she would have given it a “Not Bad” rating. Of course, she was sure their friendship would have improved even more if it weren’t for the annoyingly intimate “misunderstanding” between Edelgard and Javier, which was hovering above them.Meanwhile, Luca felt both grateful and slightly proud for averting a cataclysm for Thorin’s sake. Javier appeared to have moved past the imbroglio since then, because if the man had really wanted to, he would have used his money and connections to destroy the Gerard Family by now. The lack of bad news proved that Javier had really let it slide.He would remember this, he decided. He would remember this moment of mercy

The rumors and overt slander had finally broken kind-hearted Edelgard’s back.She had gone missing.Nobody had any idea where she might be. Even Luca, who followed her around with the clingy nature of a puppy, had failed to track her down. It was why he’d ended up calling Javier for help. Javier was essentially the baron of the city and had a connection network way more extensive than his own.After hearing about the predicament, Javier promised he would help out and immediately called Sam. “Mobilize your underlings and locate Edelgard Weiss at once. You can find her picture online yourself.” He commanded him severely, omitting even the barest minimum of courtesy. “I don’t care what kind of tactics you use. I want her found before midnight. Also, do not frighten her once your men find her. Contact me immediately.”Sam dared not waste any more seconds. As soon as the call ended, he began sending out commands to his people before driving his car over and joining the search himself. T

Who knew if it was the natural process of sobering up or the improved blood circulation from “exercising” that made the alcohol dissipate? Still, Edelgard was no longer intoxicated when things came to an end.She still felt quite groggy, but her thoughts had cleared up, and she was embarrassed when she realized that the same thing had happened with Javier again. She felt shyer when she recalled that she had been the one to initiate the entire thing.Burying her head on Javier’s chest, Edelgard was too mortified to lift her head up. She was too ashamed to look at Javier. Despite her shame, the hand that was stroking her hair made her feel warm and loved. It felt like Javier had given her courage, as she looked up with a blushing face.“Javier, I—I got drunk, so what happened tonight w-was a m-misunderstanding…”Forcing the words out of her lips, Edelgard ducked her head down again, too shy to keep staring at Javier’s charming eyes.“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. We’re both

”I’m the chief of Xerxes Village, Thomas Bloom. I heard that you guys are accusing Edelgard. As an old veteran who’s joined the army and fought in wars, I’m very disappointed and sad about everyone’s wrongful accusations.“Edelgard comes to our village every year to teach voluntarily, making monetary and non-monetary donations. She’s sponsored a few university students from our village, as well as numerous ill villagers who needed treatment. It’s also her donations that have allowed us to have a water supply in the village.“On what grounds are all of you accusing Edelgard and calling her a traitor of Yuzuia? Are we, the villagers of Xerxes, Yuzueans?”Thomas berated everyone angrily in the video, letting a few curses slip as he spoke. When his anger crested, he even fished out a cigarette pack with worn-out corners and pulled out a roll-up cigarette to smoke. No one knew if it was due to the smoke or the rage caused by the netizens, but his eyes were moist.“I held a gun and chase

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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 873 I Didn’t Do This! I Swear!
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 872 Honey, I’m Not Crazy, This Dog Is Magical!
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 Ace at the Apex Chapter 871 Hypnotized And In Too Deep
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 869 That’s Just How Generous I Am!
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 867 This Is One Dramatic Dog
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
