The Ace at the Apex Chapter 289 Pathetic
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,
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 293 He Was in a Very Good Mood
Zephiel agreed with Javier’s idea. Long ago, he had once told Javier that he should focus on being a businessman if he were ever one. He would have to fulfill his duties to the max before he began to consider whether he was worthy of being involved in another area. However, if he were to get involved too soon, he would only end up being a businessman with limitations.Obviously, Zephiel was within the other area, while Javier still had a long way before even getting close.Thus, Zephiel agreed to Javier’s request. “All right, I’ll have someone arranged to deal with this issue.”The old fox may have agreed to Javier’s request, but the former did not seem to want to hang up. Instead, he seemed to be pondering about something. Javier thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what was happening. Hence, before the old fox could say anything, the little fox spoke first.“Grandpa, there’s nothing I can do about Wyatt and Uncle Arthur. I suppose I don’t have to go into m
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 294 Quinna, the Maid
Three days later, Javier received a call from Liam.Liam informed Javier that a few people from the science and technology department’s law enforcement showed up at his doorstep, saying that he was designing something that was invading others’ privacies. They needed to take everything back to check through in detail.Javier knew that these people were doing their jobs according to the law, just like how the police would have to send out their men whenever someone lodged a report. The people from the law enforcement had proceeded completely by the book. After taking Liam’s designs back to investigate and confirming that he had not invaded anyone’s privacy, they would naturally return them in one piece. However, it would be difficult to say for sure whether someone would secretly make copies of his designs and their information while the hydrogen fuel propulsion system was being taken away. ‘Looks like this is Jesse’s plot. He’s going to have the designs investigated, taken away, a

News about Jesse being taken away had spread throughout the entire company.On top of that, he was not the only one arrested. All of his minions were included, with none of them spared from being investigated. So long as the court had not sentenced them, they were all taken in to be investigated, be it an interrogation or a questioning session.However, everyone knew very clearly how it was going to end without even needing the court to pass down their sentence. Jesse and his group of people who focused on benefits were thoroughly finished.There were suddenly a whole lot of vacancies in the company’s upper management, so they needed to promote new blood for the company to resume normal operations. Hence, Quinna was made the deputy general manager under Walt's endorsement, taking over all of Jesse’s projects.This was absolutely worth celebrating since Quinna had managed to become the second-in-command of the entire company when she was only still in her thirties, which made he

At the end of the day, the Heisenberg Group did not solely belong to Walt. Thus, everything regarding their collaboration could not proceed with just his green light. Instead, it needed to pass through the upper management’s meeting.However, the meeting to be held this time was very much different from the previous two times. Not only was there no one to interfere or object, but there were three additional people in that meeting as well. Javier had brought in Trevor, the CEO of Reivaj Automobile, plus the CPO and CQO, which stood for Chief Production Officer and Chief Quality Officer, both of which were manned by Graham. When Walt met Trevor, his eyes instantly sparkled. After all, there was no way they would not know one another since they were both veterans of the industry. Trevor was a true veteran in the automobile industry whose earliest ventures were within the Heisenberg Group, as well under Simon Aurum. Later on, due to the separation of some non-performing assets

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

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
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 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
