The Ace at the Apex Chapter 424 What Matters Is the End Result
Lying on the large bed and looking at Javier who was fast asleep next to her, Mikaela found it hard to describe what she felt. She asked herself inwardly if she liked Javier—she did! Did she love Javier? No!She felt like she had fallen into an odd circumstance. She was willing to do anything with Javier, including a crazy night of pleasure that bordered torture like last night, but once feelings were taken in account, she could not be as invested.She thought that Javier was a decent man. He was nice to her and Renna, he was handsome, young and rich. If a man like this was not one to rely on for her future, she honestly did not know what other man was worthy to spend the rest of her life with.It was just that she was unable to love him no matter what. It felt weird. She used to stubbornly think that sex could only happen with an existing foundation of feelings but realized that it was not the case after meeting Javier. They were two separate things. She could have sex with Javier
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 425 What’s He Planning?
Just as Javier had expected, Sebastian readily agreed to his hospital’s charity event.Moreover, under the old man’s request, which he strongly insisted on, he even wrote a confession letter to tell everyone that the hospital was not to be blamed even if his surgery ended up in failure. After all, no surgery could be 100% guaranteed to succeed.Hence, even if it did end up in failure, Sebastian hoped that the others would not pin the blame on Sacred Virtues Hospital and tarnish their reputation. After all, it was truly rare for someone to want to do something charitable genuinely. In comparison, some celebrities would not even fork out a single cent during a charity event. Worst of all, there were even those who would refuse to fork out the amount that had been confirmed to be made as a donation.Hence, Sebastian left his confession letter, hoping that everyone would be more kind and forgiving to the hospital.“You guys won’t just be doing a kindness or being forgiving, but most im
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 426 Good Luck, Mr. Paige
Javier was dumbfounded. He could not figure out for the life of him how Hayden was able to come up with the courage to make such a ridiculous offer. ‘8 million dollars? Is he crazy?‘I’ve already spent 8 million dollars to acquire this hospital, yet now he has the balls to offer to buy it off my hands for the same amount? Has he been touched in the head? What could he have been touched with that he’s come up with such delusional thoughts?’Shocked, Javier asked, “Hang on, Mr. Paige. I already spent 8 million dollars just to acquire this place last time!”Hayden nodded in all seriousness. “Of course, I’m aware of that, Mr. Kersey. The huge amount you spent sent deep tremors into my heart. However, we’re actually in the same industry, so there are some things you just can’t hide from me. “Sure, you paid 8 million dollars for this place, but its market value was only a little over 3 million dollars. So, the difference was only a trick, a facade, if you will. At most, you got the di
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 427 Here Comes Trouble in the Hospital
While Javier was enjoying his youthful times in his office, the hospital’s main lounge was in an uproar. There was trouble in the hospital! At that moment, GTR, who had failed in his demonstration, was lying flat on the floor with his face filled with agony.Next to him, Running Man was sobbing profusely. “My elder brother had a perfectly fine leg, but he’s now become limp because of this hospital’s terrible skills! He’s now completely lost all function in his leg, let alone being able to walk now.”As he spoke, Running Man even kicked GTR’s leg to prove that it was indeed a limp leg.GTR was in so much pain that he almost cursed out loud, but he still did not show anything on his expression except for agony.Running Man kept on crying, complaining about how horrible Sacred Virtues Hospital was and how unprofessional their doctors were.After attracting enough people to see what was going on, Running Man went on to say, “Blissful Medical Group is completely unlike them! If I had
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 428 What’s That Smell?
Someone ended up knocking on the door while Hayden was deep in thought. “Come in!”After Hayden impatiently said that, his newly-hired female secretary entered his office and handed over an iPad to him. “Mr. Paige, you asked me to pay attention to whatever’s happening within Sacred Virtues Hospital. I just noticed a commotion within the hospital that just got posted.”Hayden’s eyes instantly widened and got filled with excitement upon hearing this.“F*cking hell! Not bad! I was just about to teach them a lesson, but they’ve ended up f*cking themselves up first! Excellent, hurry up and show me what it is!”Hayden was exhilarated as he wanted to see what sort of huge trouble Sacred Virtues Hospital was in for at that moment!Watching the video, Hayde saw two people lying on the floor while the other claimed his elder brother had become limp.Hayden laughed out loud and was especially delighted. “You’ve even caused someone to become limp!? Let’s see how you’ll get out of this me
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 429 He’s Such a Cunning Fellow
Recently, Blissful Medical Group had indeed hired a well-known gynecologist. Although the group would not regularly do things that would deem them as decent human beings, they would still have to hire a few decent doctors into their group as a marketing gimmick once in a while to increase their customer flow. Unexpectedly, a few people had begun advertising at their hospital’s entrance, distributing flyers on behalf of Blissful Medical Group, and claiming to be able to cure all sorts of diseases like cancer, AIDS, and so on. Hence, the very day the gynecologist showed up, a whole crowd of people flocked over to the hospital.Hayden had been in a very bad mood over the past few days, but it finally improved when he finally saw so many customers at his doorstep. In any case, it was a plus to have that many walk-in customers entering his hospital.Next up would be for Hayden to work his magic and have Sacred Virtues Hospital completely crushed to the ground, forcing Javier to pros
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 430 I Have A Pretty Decent Bed
Sacred Virtues Hospital did have a reputation at the moment. However, they had gained their reputation by 'selling blood'.“Selling blood” meant that they were tossing money into charities to provide free medical care for underprivileged patients.It was fine to do something like that short-term but certainly not in the long run. No amount of money could be enough for that.Therefore, Javier had been asking Oliver to watch out for research teams in the industry so that they could come up with unique drugs or surgeries.That way, they could use their exclusive technology to attract numerous patients and make money through their medical expenses so that they could subsidize medical treatments for patients who needed free treatments. Consequently, it would form an excellent and positive symbiotic chain.However, it was challenging to find a research team like that. They could not just find a random team. The products of their research needed to be effective, and the team would also n
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 431 The Best Research Team
Logically speaking, Javier was more handsome, but different people had different preferences, so it was difficult to tell.One could only say that love was blind when Alyssa seemed to be attracted to Herschel.Nonetheless, Javier was relieved that Alyssa was not attracted to him. He felt nothing for someone nearly 1.9 meters tall and with skin so tanned that she would be one with the dark when he turned off the lights at night.However, Herschel seemed to be quite interested. When Alyssa was not paying attention, he told Javier, "Boss, don't you know, the darker, the tighter? I’m speaking from experience!"“Buzz off.” Javier had no intention to talk about such an experience with him now.After getting into Alyssa's car, Alyssa drove, and Herschel sat in the front passenger seat. It seemed like it would be easier for him to flirt. Javier intentionally sat in the back seat and started talking to Alyssa about their medical research team."There are probably more than 100 people in o

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
