Seeing that Javier had put down his utensils and was about to leave, Quinna hurriedly called out to him the moment she recalled Javier saying he would not return to the factory anymore.

“Wait! You can’t leave! Absolutely not!”

Javier was slightly startled. “Why not? Do you businessmen resort to restricting a person’s freedom?”

Quinna did not want to explain herself, but she knew she would not be able to make him stay if she hadn’t. Thus, Quinna told him about what had happened the previous day without a choice.

“He has already misunderstood that you and I are in some sort of relationship, so wouldn’t it seem like I’m trying to hide something if you leave? I won’t be able to explain myself at that point, so how am I supposed to carry on staying here in the company if word of this spreads?”

Javier then understood why Quinna had kicked him out of the blue at that moment. He then sat down and looked at Quinna’s reddened and rather seductive cheeks.

“But what does that have to do with

    Alexis was really impudent. Javier did not even know where he had gotten his confidence from.Tiger across from him was walking over with his men, obviously looking for a fight without a care about 150 dollars. Javier was not about to play nice either, thinking to subdue these pieces of trash first.Just as they were about to make a move, Graham rushed forward to stop Tiger and his men and told Alexis, “What are you trying to do? You went against the rules by smoking and fighting in the workshop. Those are enough to get you fired!”“Fire me?” Alexis snorted in amusement. “You’re thinking about firing me and threatening me with the rules? Graham, oh Graham, you’re so interesting. Did you think I’d take a threat?“Fire me? I’ll tell you now, I quit! I’m f*cking rich now!”Alexis then accessed his phone and showed his bank account balance to Graham and everyone around them.“See? I’m rich! I have 80 thousand dollars. I won 80 thousand dollars from the lottery.“You poor *sses can s

    Alexis was honestly intimidated. He thought that he was rich enough, having 80 thousand dollars, but Javier seemed to be richer than him and did not even bat an eye when he spent it, working all the time.He was filthy rich but was still working. Alexis saw it as mockery.The truth was far from that. Javier just did not find it in him to glance at Alexis as the latter was unqualified for it.Similarly, Graham was in the workshop with Javier. The guy spoke softly. “I know you’re rich, but you can’t waste it like this!”Javier replied with a beam, “Don’t worry. Tiger’s just holding it and looking at it. He’s not yet capable of taking my money.”Graham wanted to say more, but Alexis’ growl came from the outside. “33 thousand dollars, I want him beaten up today!”Tiger clicked his tongue. “You’re really something, huh? Adding a few thousand dollars at a time. Take it from the big bro over there. He’s so swift and direct, that’s being rich!“Didn’t you say you have 80 thousand dollar

    Javier had not thought of killing Tiger and had only asked Herschel to teach him a lesson. Since Tiger had taken 150 dollars from him, he should have done something worth that money. Yet, the man had taken the money and had come to him for trouble. It was not quite right as no business in the world went like this.Therefore, not only did Javier get his own money back that night, but he collected Alexis’ share as well. He did not take the money, though, giving it to Herschel and the guys so they could have fun with it.As for Alexis, he was taken away by the police when he went to work the next day. Tiger had made a police report, and Alexis was suspected of causing intentional injury, kidnapping, and blackmailing.The man panicked. “I didn’t do anything. I really didn’t do anything!”The police officer asked, “Did you say you were getting someone to kill him yesterday?”Alexis grimaced. “I was just running my mouth. I wouldn’t dare. It’s really not me.”The officer nodded. “Yes,

    What happened with Alexis and Tiger passed. Javier did not pay attention to what it ended up in, nor was it worth his regard.He was more focused on two things now. One was whether Quinna could resolve the delay and objection from Jesse and others to reach a business partnership with him on hydrogen-fueled vehicles, and the other was the conflict between William and Arthur.It had been days, yet both of them stayed quiet. It did not feel right!Did Arthur swallow it down again and was waiting for a chance to end William once and for all? If that were the case, his uncle was really patient, and he would have to watch out for him in the future.Nevertheless, the next afternoon after Javier thought about that, he received a call from Ciara.“Javier, William’s lover outside was r*ped and killed, and several people did it.”That meant it was a group assault and a purposeful action to make William a cuckold!Ciara then told him that William had ordered an investigation in rage and tra

    Walt saw red when Quinna suggested renaming the corporation to Failure Group. He slammed the desk so hard and furiously that the pen jumped out of the pen holder.“Quinna Aurum, watch your words. You’re a high-level executive of this company too!”Walt was seething, but Quinna was the same. After his slam on the desk, she took off her heel and knocked the heel of it on the desk, crying angrily after that, “You think you’re the only one who can knock the desk? Were you elected as chairman to knock on the desk? Was it based on you knocking it loud enough or rhythmically enough? Go slam your palm on the desk in front of Jesse Hanson if you’re so good. Why are you slamming it in front of me?“Was I wrong in this? It’s Jesse and his lackeys who are wrong—not me!“And you slam the desk at me? What gives you the right? Are we playing the authority card now!?”The Heisenberg Group’s chairman was thoroughly infuriated by Quinna. He felt his blood pressure shooting up and black dots swimm

    Jesse was overwhelmed with anger at that moment. He never thought that a meager little boy from a rich family would have the nerve to insult him.“You dare insult me!?”“I could beat you up if I wanted as well. Would you like to try me?”Jesse was so frightened that he retreated when he saw Javier rolling up his sleeves without hesitation.Jesse had once been a young and hot-blooded man in the past, but as his belly grew, that hot-blooded temper of his decreased.Especially when Jesse saw the toned muscle on Javier’s arms, his instincts were screaming out to him that those arms would pack a punch. ‘If he punches me on the head, I’m sure it’s going to be painful. Of course, it would hurt no matter where he punches, so the best option for me would be not to let him beat me.’Jesse took a step back and said, “Let’s resort to verbal communication only…It’s a crime to assault others after all!”Javier truly did not know how he should rate Jesse anymore. “You didn’t think about the la

    Quinna could not find the words to say at that point, filled with the impression that Javier had indeed said those words to imply what she had thought, the especially embarrassing kind. Yet, Javier ended up saying he simply wanted to admire her.Although she would not have been a good horse per se…That was not the point! The point was she had misunderstood what Javier meant. Plus, the most embarrassing thing was that she had even thought of something compromising instead.When she realized this, Quinna’s face turned completely red, to the point she probably could have bled out.“I-I-I…”After mumbling for almost 10 seconds, nothing else could come out of her mouth except “I”.Usually, Quinna would be pretty good at a verbal debate, but thanks to her embarrassment, her brain was no longer functioning properly, and she could not utter a single sentence.Meanwhile, Javier’s face was filled with embarrassment, but he was secretly overjoyed. ‘Let’s see how you’re going to get out of

    After sending Quinna to the hospital, a doctor who passed by examined her and concluded she had not fractured any bones. After that, Javier sent her back downstairs. When she got out of the car, he handed over Quinna’s car keys and asked, “Do I have to send you back upstairs?”Quinna hurriedly waved her hands. “No!”She genuinely did not dare have Javier send her back. ‘If Dad were to see us together, God knows what he might think. He’s been pushing me to get married for so long and even thought that Javier was pretty decent after meeting him, which is why he’s been pestering me to be in a relationship with him for a while now.‘If he sees us together tonight, I’m sure I will not be able to live in peace from now on with him pushing me to get married…’Meanwhile, Javier did not force Quinna to let him send her home. Instead, he helped her to the elevator and pressed it.Javier was about to leave after the elevator arrived, but Quinna suddenly called out to him and said, “Javier,

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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

    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
