The Ace at the Apex Chapter 242 Let’s See What Happens When We Arrive Home Tonight
When Jade scanned her QR code, Ciara hurriedly leaned over to have a look. When they saw the same amount received, Ciara exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa has every reason to give me 10 dollars, but why would you receive the same amount?”This caused Jade to feel slightly surprised as well. Initially, she had been worried that it would be inappropriate for the others to see the amount she had received.However, now that she realized that it was only 10 dollars, she felt very confused. ‘Both Ciara and I received 10 dollars each…Is it because we’re close to him?’Immediately, Jade and Ciara targeted Javier’s envelope and snatched it from his pocket.After they scanned it… ‘What the f*ck?!‘He also received 10 dollars! So it really is true. It’s because we’re close to him!’Ciara felt depressed. “Grandpa has always been very generous every year, so why would he only give me 10 dollars this year? Seriously?!”Javier chuckled and said, “There’s a deeper meaning behind this…He wan

Javier and the others were getting ready to head back after bidding Zephiel farewell. Before leaving, Javier asked Zephiel again, "I don't suppose you're going to tell me about the message left sitting under the little gold figure?" Zephiel chuckled and shook his head. "Not a chance. Don't even think about it!" Javier was about to leave when Zephiel added, "You might have had a chance if you hadn't tricked me the last time around, but since you did...oh well…Hehe!" Javier turned around and said, "Save it, old fox. Do you seriously want me to feel remorse? Not a chance! Don't even think about it!" He was well aware of the old fox's tricks, as he had been hoodwinked by the latter when he was still a child. There would not have been so many smart people in the world otherwise, and he had only become smart because he had been duped so much. Javier saw Mary coming over as soon as he left Zephiel. "I couldn’t find you anywhere, Mary, and you wouldn't even answer the phone. We

Javier could not wrap his head around it. How could Terry be there if he was supposed to be in prison? Had he escaped? Ingrid answered Javier when he turned to look at her. "I told you a few days ago that someone was peeping downstairs. That person was him. He broke in on New Year's Eve and had a knife with him, so I tied him up and threw him here. "I already got all the necessary information from him in the past few days. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?" Javier did not suggest anything. He had to know Terry's purpose for coming there and why Terry would bring a knife with him to break in. Ingrid said, "He claims that William helped him get out of prison. Compassionate release. He was ordered to cut Jade's face, and the payout for that would be one million." Terry might have claimed that, but what he knew was not necessarily accurate, was it? When Ingrid asked Javier for suggestions on how to deal with Terr

The breathalyzer did not pick up any traces of alcohol. The traffic police asked about other relevant information and told Javier, "It's pretty clear from the details of this accident that you're entirely responsible for it. This lady is not at fault. You should head over to the insurance company and settle this privately!" The fat woman put her hands on her waist and said proudly. "Serves you right for going all mental and hitting my car!" The traffic policeman glanced at the fat woman and shook his head helplessly. A person's poor character was none of their concern. They were responsible only for handling the accident. Javier sniggered. He neither looked at the fat woman nor bothered to argue with her. All he did was say to the traffic police, "I object to the way you enforce the law and I refuse to settle this in private." The traffic policeman was stunned. He felt that he had done his job so well that there could not possibly be grounds for an objection. He even trie

Javier wanted to buy a car, but it was probably one of the worst days to do so. It was only the fifth day of the new year and many places were still closed. After realizing the place did not have cars, he brought Ciel to the state capital as a sort of road trip while going there to buy a car. They enjoyed themselves in the state capital for three days, until all the stores finally opened on the eighth day of the new year. Ciel was glowing after recharging for three days, and Javier visited almost all the sales outlets that were open. Since he convinced Ciel to accept his gift, she eventually settled on a Mercedes-Benz GLK300. The car was not big. It was 4.5 meters long, so it was almost classified as a compact SUV. It was smaller than the domestic SUV, which was 4.67 meters long, but that size was perfect for Ciel. Javier thought that it was the perfect car for her in light of her petite stature. Her temperament matched that car perfectly. Javier managed to buy a car

The saleswoman performed an internet search and found out that it was true. He was an internet celebrity who was rich, handsome, and very young. He was referred to as the nation's boyfriend by many female netizens. "Is he really that rich?!" The saleswoman was startled and secretly thankful that she had maintained a good attitude earlier. If such a powerful character complained about her, she might have to spend her future in agony. After ending the call, Javier bid the saleswoman goodbye and left with Ciel. The saleswoman looked at Javier from afar and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She started to envy Ciel even more, for she would have loved for Javier to be her boyfriend! Even so, she knew that fantasizing was the most she could do. Her best chance of realizing that fantasy was by hoping she dreamt of it when she slept! After returning from the state capital, Javier enjoyed a couple of days with Ciel and continued to get down to business. Things had s

The reason Javier had come here was to utilize his connections and intervene so that his movie could be pushed into becoming the best film and winning the Osborn Award. Then, he’d be able to achieve the objective he had set out to accomplish and fulfill Cillian’s final wish.However, when he watched “Ackerman”, Javier completely gave up on the idea. Even though Saoirse had already found a few contacts for the judges, he still gave up meeting them completely.The reason for this was none other than because Javier realized that he would be humiliating both Mr. Gander and Cillian. On top of that, he would be humiliating “Ackerman”, which was a movie that was very moving on its own.If anything was more important than Javier winning this award, it would be letting this pure piece of film exude its charm on its own. This was the very script that Cillian had spent the last moments of his life to complete, so Javier was not going to allow any of his personal interests to get mixed into

During the past three months, “Ackerman” had won almost all the nominations possible, including Best Director, Best Actor/Actress, Best Scriptwriter, etc… The movie had won so many nominations that everyone involved almost felt their breath get taken away. Finally, when it was time to announce the winners, Mr. Gander led the group of producers on the stage. Saoirse, the investor of the movie, had also attended the award ceremony.Of course, Javier, who was the most notable person behind this film, was not left behind.“The 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Filmography Award goes to… “Ackerman” from Chinea…”“The 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Scriptwriting Award goes to… “Ackerman'' from Chinea…”“The 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Directing Award goes to… “Ackerman'' from Chinea…”“The 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Actor Award goes to… “Ackerman'' from Chinea…”“The 9Xth Annual Osborn Award Ceremony Best Movie Award goes to… “Ackerman'' from Chine

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
