The Ace at the Apex Chapter 298 So Poor That All He Had Left Was Money
“He really can’t hold his liquor. It only took him a little less than a bottle, and he’s drunk,” Javier mumbled after closing Simon’s bedroom door and returning to the living room. Quinna seemed slightly unhappy. “You’re one to speak…You only had a single glass, and you surrendered already.”Javier rolled his eyes. “Isn’t that obvious? Simon loves the wine so much that he can’t even bear to let his daughter try some, so it’s obvious just how much he cherishes it. So, why would I drink so much when I’m not able to reminisce about my past like he does when he drinks it? So, don’t you think it would be better if I left it for him?“Since I already had some of it in my glass, I had no choice but to finish it off. If I’d known he loves that wine so much, I wouldn’t have wanted to drink it.”Quinna then realized something. ‘I knew it. I was wondering why Javier said he couldn’t hold his liquor when he didn’t seem to be drunk in the slightest…‘Now that he’s explained all of that, he’s

After staying at Graham’s place for a while, Javier reminded Noah to focus on his studies before he was about to leave.Graham had sent Javier all the way downstairs, while the latter handed him a cigarette as they stood outside.As they smoked, they began talking about work.“I’m very sure about your working capabilities. However, I’d still like to tell you that you can look for Trevor directly should you come across any difficulties. He’s going to be staying here for a very long time as well. I’ve already discussed your salary with him and decided to pay you 75 thousand dollars per annum.”Graham’s eyes instantly widened. “You mustn’t do this, Mr. Kersey. What could I have done to possibly deserve 75 thousand dollars per annum? I…”Graham was genuinely panicking because he thought that this job of his would only be worth 1.5 thousand dollars salary per month. That night, he even told his wife before Javier had arrived that he was probably going to be able to receive 23 thousan

After realizing that Javier had returned home, Jade was so excited that she hurried down the stairs. Just as she was about to wake him up, Ingrid suddenly came out from the kitchen to stop her.At that moment, Jade had already known Ingrid’s true identity, so she had even more respect for the woman who had been silently protecting her the entire time.“What’s wrong, Ing?”Ingrid brought Jade with her into the kitchen before she said, “He’s quite tired. He just got home at 3am yesterday, so he hasn't even slept for four hours. You should let him rest for a while longer!”Jade finally understood why Ingrid had stopped her, and she now felt embarrassed. She was only engrossed in her own excitement that she did not realize that Javier must have arrived home late last night, which was why he did not go back to his room upstairs to sleep. After that, Ingrid said, “It’s possible that there are some things I shouldn’t say as a servant since you two are my masters, but Javier really

Revaj Group needed to move elsewhere. After all, it was now a billion-dollar company, so it would seem a little wrong for it to remain where it was. Coincidentally, Chad had already considered this point a year before and had requested that Javier purchase a piece of land. On top of that, Chad was a capable man who had already begun planning what to do with the land and started construction. Now that the company needed someplace else to develop, that piece of land had an entire structure and had already been furbished. All that was left at that moment was for the chairman to nod his head and everyone to move into their new office building. Javier recalled that this piece of land had still been barren and had seemed exactly like a wasteland a year ago… He then held up his thumb in front of Chad. “Well done. You seem to have worked very hard.”Chad smiled and said, “There’s nothing that can’t be sped up so long as there’s money involved.”This was, in fact, the truth. There was n

After spending a wild night together, Javier and Jade slept until the next afternoon. They had booked their hotel room for three days, so it was a little after 1 p.m. by the time the couple left the hotel. They then hailed a taxi and filled their bellies with some local delicacies before embarking on their journey to select their new house. Over the next two days, they kept going from house to house. Jade was already feeling pretty satisfied with what they had found, but Javier just couldn’t bring himself to like any of the houses.“Come on, what sort of house are you looking for exactly? We could just decide on one that’s almost to our tastes. Plus, I keep getting the feeling that the houses you find have a higher and higher price point.” Jade softly complained. She felt that she would be content with just an ordinary house.However, Javier was not having any of that. “Of course it can’t be ordinary! It’s going to be the house my wife’s going to live in, so there's no way I’m

Initially, the old woman was pretty furious when she saw the saleswoman smiling once more. She almost wanted to rip her mouth open. However, she understood why the saleswoman was smiling when she found out that the deposit fee was 45,000 dollars.They had thought they would be able to reserve a house worth millions of dollars with just a few hundred dollars worth of a deposit? What a joke!However, the old woman was not going to allow that amount to cause her to humiliate herself. She shot a fierce glare at her husband before she said, “What are you smiling at? It’s 45,000 dollars, isn’t it? We’ve got the money to pay! My husband meant to say that that amount feels like 450 dollars to us!”The old man hurriedly agreed. “Exactly!”The saleswoman was stunned, not realizing that the old couple was actually rather wealthy. However, she did not want to cause any future problems for herself due to some misunderstanding, so she secretly turned on her cell phone’s video recording fun

The old man no longer dared to utter another word after Javier’s violent threat. However, the old woman suddenly seemed to change her tactics and sat down on the floor, flailing her hands about like a madwoman. “You lot are so unfair! You real-estate agents are taking his side to bully us! You refuse to let us pay the deposit fee and buy the house. Plus, you’re even ganging up with him to beat us up! Call the reporters! Have them expose their cruel deeds!!!”According to a saying on the internet, the elderly did not become villains, the villains just grew old. Jade had never seemed to understand this saying in the past, but after witnessing what the old couple was capable of, she fully understood it now.‘Both of them are just full of nonsense and they’re doing anything they want, including behaving like madmen just because they’re old. They’re such shameless people!‘I just don’t get it… How do they manage to be so shameless despite being so old?’Seeing that her exquisitely

Money made the world go around, as they said, and it made it go fast.For example, every document and required paper had been handled by the sales representative two days later posthaste. Javier paid a king’s ransom for the housing property tax, but frankly, he hardly felt the loss when it came to his overall wealth.By late afternoon, Javier had scouted Clouston’s most expensive home design company based on its professional expertise. Just the thought that they were being commissioned to design and renovate three luxury villas made the company pay rapt attention. It dispatched two teams to follow Javier back to his house. They would hash out some designs and let Javier choose the one he liked the most.Jade led the teams into the villas, and the brainstorming began. Javier himself took a seat at the entrance step and lit a cigarette. It mattered very little how the villas would look as long as Jade was pleased.It was then that trouble paid him a visit.Oh, it was not Jade, who w

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
