The Ace at the Apex Chapter 409 The Bad Guy Who Slings Accusations First
The mysterious force hiding in the shadows had disappeared like a pirate ship disappearing within the mist without a trace after firing its cannons. All forces were ready with their firearms hot, so all that was left was for their enemy to reveal his head for them to take the shot. However, the enemy just would not show. After a few more days of the enemy not showing up, Javier refocused on his own issues. The first thing he did upon returning to Sacred Virtues Hospital was get ready and have the storeroom unlocked.Now that the hospital had been reopened, most of the doctors and nurses previously on standby had returned. Although they did not have a lot of patients, the hospital did go back to looking like an actual hospital. At the very least, one would not have to go through the stairs to enter the director’s office. As soon as Javier took the elevator to the 18th floor, just as he was about to head to the storeroom, he ran into Doug. “Mr. Kersey, everything here is pro
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 410 I Didn’t Know You Were the Boss
Oliver felt slightly embarrassed when he heard this. “I didn’t mean it like that. I…”Javier waved his hand. “Thank goodness I was a little more careful and recorded what happened just now. Otherwise, I would have ended up experiencing a huge amount of grief today.”After saying that, Javier ignored how hideous the old nurse’s face was, took out his cell phone, and showed Oliver what exactly had happened between her and Javier a moment ago. “Mr. Holmes, please listen to me. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”The old nurse was now panicking, while Oliver’s expression became even more hideous. He felt that he was an old fool who had misunderstood Javier only because he had listened to the old nurse’s one-sided story. He was feeling extremely embarrassed, but just as he was about to say something, Javier intervened and said, “Don’t you agree that I would’ve ended up being blamed for absolutely no reason if I had been just an ordinary patient here? What if I was coincidentally a r
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 411 The Concept of Being in the Service Line
Javier furiously stormed toward Doug’s office, but his angry expression instantly disappeared the moment he entered the room. At that moment, Doug was working on his proposal. When he saw Javier, he immediately asked, “Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Kersey?”Javier waved his hand. “No, you go ahead and focus on your work. I’m just going to sit here for a while.”Doug had no idea what was happening, but since Javier said he was alright, Doug naturally returned to his own work after pouring Javier a glass of water. Meanwhile, Javier sat on the sofa and took a look at the proposal Doug had come up with previously.As for his issue with Oliver a moment ago…Javier had completely put it behind him. ‘Would being angry over something so trivial be worth it? Of course not! If I got furious over something so small, I would’ve died from a heart attack long ago!’In fact, the only reason he had thrown such a huge temper tantrum in front of Oliver was because he wanted to tak
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 412 Blinded by Money
Javier found a key on top of the door’s frame. In the past, whenever Javier’s father had stayed out, he would always leave a key in between the crack of the door frame. When Javier was still young and short, he wouldn’t be able to reach the top, but this did not mean he would forget about his father’s habit. In fact, he had not. Javier had now obtained a key to get inside, so he opened the door. The place was kept very clean, and the decorations made the place seem very warm. Similar to his father’s bedroom, the entire place had been tidied up by his stepmother. There was a photobook on the desk, and Javier even found photos of his father and stepmother together. However, those photos had all been taken in the past. None of them had been taken recently, so Javier was unable to trace their whereabouts through them. Javier even saw a brown envelope on the glass coffee table in the living room.The brown envelope looked very traditional. It was something not easily obtainable
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 413 What an Incubus!
Javier’s question and “excellent suggestion” ruffled Mikaela’s feathers. Waving hurriedly, she explained, “No, that’s not what I meant, Mr. Kersey! I was just thinking…We are going to buy the same thing, and Donald said he knows the best way to get it and knows a lot about it, so I was thinking…Why not kill two birds with one stone? So here I am.”Javier considered the unadulterated sincerity—bordering on gullibility—in her eyes and let out a snicker. He pulled out his phone and looked up an MRI model online before turning back to Mikaela. “Donald told you he knows about these things, doesn’t he? Give him a call right now. Ask him how many brands of MRIs there are, how much they cost, and what each of their strengths and weaknesses are. Which one is being used by which state-of-the-art hospital?”Mikaela hummed. Donald must really have meant it when he had said he knew about these things. She called the man at Javier’s behest and repeated every question to him.His answer was underw
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 414 A Divorce
In the end, Mikaela left without getting any action. She was this close to succumbing to their mutual lust, but she thought of her precious Renna.No, the little girl did not serve as a moral chain of any kind. The reason was stupidly pragmatic: Young Renna was napping alone at home. If she woke up and realized neither of her parents was with her, she would be terrified! And let’s not discount the growing trend of tragedies that happened because kids were left at home alone and unsupervised by adults.Just the thought of it compelled her to ignore all the desire built up in her and free herself from Javier’s arms. She scurried out of the door, her face flustered, and fled down the stairs.Javier did not stop her this time. He had told her before that he would never force himself on her. Besides, he had good reason to believe that he had planted a seed into the young woman’s mental landscape. Soon, it would sprout, take root, and grow until it took over her heart.As he mused, Mikae
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 415 Ain’t That a Misunderstanding!
With Renna in her arms, Mikaela left the house she used to call home, her silhouette moving in the streets outside. The breeze tonight was warm, and yet she felt only a tomb of ice in her chest.Ten years’ worth of youth—all spent on a piece of top-shelf sh*t! It was so infuriating that she was wondering if she should just gouge out her eyes if she was going to live like a blind person anyway!As she was simmering in fury, Renna suddenly murmured, “Mom? I’m hungry. I haven’t eaten in a long time now…”Mikaela snapped out of her anger. Belatedly, she realized it was now a few minutes past eight, and Renna had not eaten anything since lunch about seven or eight hours ago. She looked around to locate her handbag, where her wallet and phone were, so she could treat the girl to a meal in a restaurant nearby.That was when it hit her. She had barged out of the door at the peak of her lividity and forgotten to bring her handbag and phone along. She was literally penniless, and without her
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 416 Pants Off, Shame Gone
Mikaela was not even sure how to describe how she felt. Was Javier a nice guy? Yes.Did she like him? Yes. A little. Somewhat. Maybe.But the idea of them being together—rings in each other’s fingers and bells tolling for a life shared—she never once felt the compulsion for it.Of course, she meant the compulsion to build a life based on a serious union. Not the more…carnal variety.It was the reason she had said what she said. She would sooner be mocked for overstating how much he was attracted to her than to risk Javier investing emotionally in an impossibility. It would make her feel guilty. It would make her feel like she was playing Javier.Fortunately for her, Javier harbored no such desire either. He studied Mikaela’s bashful expression before replying, “Just because I’m attracted to you doesn’t mean we have to get married. That’s some stuffy, old-school thing only the squarest people do. I like you, and I want to sleep with you. But marry you? No offense, but we’re not com
