The Ace at the Apex Chapter 379 Big Bucks Everywhere
After Javier and Jade's repeated persuasion, as well Finn’s help, Milly finally started eating.When Jade looked at the siblings happily eating and feeding each other, she snuggled into Javier's arms and wiped away her tears.They were only 7 and 10 years old. They did not get to enjoy the love from their parents or society. They could only depend on each other, and it was heart-wrenching.Javier gently patted Jade on the shoulder, motioning her to accompany the siblings. He then left the ward and went to see the attending physician.When he mentioned the siblings, the attending physician, James Carillo, seemed torn."It's a difficult situation. The hospital has its rules, after all. I'm not the director or deputy director of the hospital. I don't have the right to waive the medical and surgical expenses. All I could do was pay 800 dollars in advance until her condition stabilizes.""Milly has congenital heart disease, and this time, she contracted pneumonia caused by a cold. Her

Javier was chatting with Jade in the room upstairs when a loud pounding sound came from the door. Someone was pounding down the door, and it was crude. They did not know who would have the nerves to do that late at night.Javier went downstairs. He did not even bother looking at the surveillance at the door. He opened the door right away.He did not think it was necessary for him to check because the person would still be pounding regardless. It did not matter if he checked the surveillance or not.In fact, that was exactly what happened. When Javier opened the door, the person was still subconsciously hitting it with their fist.But this time, instead of hitting the door, his arm was grabbed by Javier instead. Javier pinned his arm down, and the man screamed in pain. There were about seven or eight thugs outside, and they shouted with iron clubs and machetes in their hands, asking Javier to release their boss.Javier looked at Goldie, who had his arm pinned down. "Are you the

The next morning, when Maddison was found by the river, she had completely lost her mind.She was waving her torn pink underwear around as she stood naked on the side of the road. "Sir, come play for a dollar. Come on!"Maddison was still quite attractive and had a sexy body, so many passersby were tempted.A man even slammed into the car in front of him because of that. The drivers of the cars did not argue after they got out of the car. Instead, they started making remarks about Maddison."That looks sensational. It’d be nice if I could take a ride.""I know. It's a pity we’re in broad daylight. I’d definitely take her home with me if it were nighttime!"Before the traffic police came to investigate, the police officers came first. As they were about to take Maddison away, she hugged a police officer and refused to let go."You b*stard! I know it was you who forced yourself onto me last night. It was you. I can recognize you even if you have clothes on!"The dispatched police

Finn was taken back to the house, and he could not stop crying.He must have been really tired. He hadn’t really gotten any sleep in the past two days since his sister passed away.Shortly after he entered the bedroom, he fell asleep on the bed.Neither Javier nor Jade asked him to change his clothes. He was exhausted, so they let him have a good night's rest.After coming out of Finn's bedroom, Jade burst into tears.Javier hugged her and gently kissed her forehead without saying anything.No one wanted to accept the reality of Milly's death, but they had to.Still, it made their hearts tremble upon thinking that the 7-year-old girl was gone. They really did not know how to accept it.The next morning, Jade got up early and made breakfast.But when Javier knocked on the door and entered the room to get Finn, he realized that Finn was gone.The blanket on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a note that had his squiggly handwriting on it.Finn had left a message that sai

The World Car of The Year Award (WCOTY) was organized by the independent nonprofit organization WCA. It was the highest honor of a car award in the world. Starting in 2004, it had been a little more than a decade now.There were 73 professional judges coming from 23 countries across the globe who participated in the evaluation, so impartiality was guaranteed to a certain degree.Moreover, the award had a high reputation. Basically, it was the precursor to the sales index, so many car companies aimed for the grand award hoping to win it.In the past years, automobile companies kept their eyes on this award,, but everyone was focusing on other prizes this year because each car could only receive one award. The Chinean car that was the most popular this year could only receive the WCOTY. The other titles, for engines, being environmentally friendly, and whatnot, became what the others looked forward to.When Javier, Quinna, and Trevor made it there, they became the limelight instantly

Although it was rude to be yelling, no one quite cared about it for now. Like what the brunette boss had asked, everyone was curious why the brand Chinean could win two awards.It was as if the committee president had long expected such a question as he gestured for everyone below the stage to quiet down and spoke. “I’d like to ask all of you one question. Does anyone see any stated term on our organizing rules that a car could only win one award? Please, has anyone seen it?”The president’s question baffled everyone.Quinna slapped her lap. “I remember! The rules don’t seem to state anything like this! It’s just that there has never been a car that receives a second or more award, so for over a decade, everyone has misunderstood that each car can only win an award.”The slap on her lap might be a little too hard as Quinna winced in pain. The next moment, though, Javier caringly rubbed her lap and was trying his best to grope upward. Many people were around, so Quinna was rightfull

A trip abroad earned them three trophies. No one expected this, so Javier, Quinna, and Trevor were exceptionally delighted. It was just that it was kind of hard to stay delighted when Javier shattered the WCOTY trophy at the peak of their joy.After Quinna called Javier a prodigal man in shock, Trevor spoke up as well. “Mr. Kersey, the press will definitely ask us for photos when we go back. The world knows that we won three trophies, but how can we explain it when we bring only two back for the photos?”Javier shrugged in nonchalance. “What’s there to worry about? We’ll get someone to make a fake one tomorrow. Everyone knows we won anyway. Who dares question that the trophy we have is a fake one? As long as we’re holding it, a fake one is a real one!”Such confidence! Javier had learned from the old fox’s jade pipe that felt endless despite him breaking it constantly. With the status there, a fake one was a real one, and no one would dare doubt it—not that there would be anyone d

Herschel, who had been taken away by the police for the traffic accident, was released on that day itself. It was an accident, after all, so he was fine as he was not found guilty after the investigation.The customized car that the Bugatti had run into was sent back as well. It was worth mentioning because the car door had been dented back then, and there was a dent on the center pillar. Herschel drove it to the workshop, only for the workshop to say that they were powerless.They had never seen such tough metal that the dent puller machine could not pull out. Unable to do anything, the workshop had refused any payment despite their effort and pleaded with Herschel to drive the car away.Since regular workshops could not repair the dents, Javier could only call Liam and have the specialized department drive the car away.It had taken two months, and the car was finally sent back when Javier touched down today.“This car still feels comfier. Who says that our country can’t make a

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
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
