The Ace at the Apex Chapter 666 This Is Your Husband?
Being hugged by a man who was not her husband, and being hugged so tightly at that, made Nelly feel incredibly abashed. She clung onto her last sense of rationale and pushed Javier away from her.“I c-can’t—this can’t happen. We can’t act like this.” Nelly fumbled to speak and even staggered a little as she stepped away, feeling as frantic as her inner turmoil.Javier did not give her another chance to fight back, as he pushed forward and trapped her in the corner.“Nelly, this is the only way to resolve the plight between you and Dahlia. Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep working here. Your coworkers, your career…Everything will end here…”Javier coaxed her like a devil, while Nelly was helplessly shy.Dahlia had only told Javier that her secretary, Nelly, was a career-minded girl and her goal was to become the next Dahlia Robins, as she wanted to establish herself and progress in Maple Court.This was the exact reason Javier used her career against Nelly.As expected, Nelly

“I-I don’t know. It’s probably my best friend’s. I'm staying with my best friend.”Nelly made up a lie about a best friend while she was dying of embarrassment. In fact, she was the only one staying there. There was no best friend.Javier obviously knew as much, so he pointed at the shoe cabinet at the door after tossing the toy aside.“The shoes are all yours, and there’s only one glass at home. It’s enough to prove that you’re staying alone. How is there a best friend? This is obviously you trying to alleviate your loneliness.”Javier was merciless, exposing Nelly’s thoughts directly and embarrassing her to no end. He was still rambling when Nelly snapped.“What do you want? Mr. Kersey, what do you actually want? I’m a woman living alone, and you’re at my place telling me all these things. What the heck do you want?!”Javier chuckled upon seeing that he had successfully forced Nelly into a corner. “Don’t you know what I want?”As he said this, he stepped closer to her.When N
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 668 Choosing Between Two Options
In the following days, other than completing his work-related tasks, Javier spent the rest of his time with Nelly and Dahlia either in his office or in Dahlia’s office.Once, they were even in the ladies’ washroom. Dahlia had realized that they could not keep doing this and tried to break it off, but Javier followed her into the washroom when no one was watching. What happened in the washroom thrilled Dahlia endlessly. It felt almost as if she was a thief, and she would surely never forget it, even reminiscing about it from time to time.However, no matter how attractive this temporary lifestyle was, it was still temporary. When Javier finished his job there, the transfer notice from headquarters came.Like Robin had mentioned, Javier was transferred to Maple Court’s headquarters as Robin’s secretary. Just like Javier had said, Dahlia was promoted to general manager of East Chinea Construction after he left.When he drove off, Dahlia and Nelly both bade him farewell.As they watch
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 669 A Complicated Relationship
Kaiden was a very courageous man, at least on the surface.“I will never resort to being threatened even if I have to put my finger at risk! Go ahead and break it if you can!”Kaiden could tell that Javier was surely not going to be brave enough to do it. After all, Javier would have to be extremely arrogant to do such a thing to the vice director of Maple Court, which would be a very disrespectful act. Even the chairman had to show him a modicum of respect, in fact! This was why Kaiden was sure that Javier would not be brave enough to do it. Instead, the latter would try finding a way out of the situation. When this happened, Kaiden would counter-attack and ask why Javier was not brave enough to break his finger. Then, he would arrogantly ask where Javier’s bravado had gone when he ended up behaving like a coward. However, just as Kaiden was having all those thoughts, he suddenly heard a loud, crisp “crack”! What was very profound about this sound was that Kaiden could no lo
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 670 He’s No Ordinary Person
Right after leaving, Javier ran into a woman with rose-red long hair and a low-cut camisole. She seemed even more youthful and sexy, as her slender legs were hidden in thin white stockings.Most importantly, this was a woman Javier knew!“Zoey?!”‘Isn’t she Zoey Faye? The online celebrity that I ran into at a concert half a month ago? She’s the one who said she wanted to return 75,000 dollars to me!’Javier was very surprised, as he had never thought she would show up there.Faye was equally surprised to see Javier. “Javier? What are you doing at my house?”“Your house?!”“Do you two know each other?”Robin joined the conversation and seemed especially surprised to see Javier and Zoey’s dumbfounded expressions.Then, he explained that Zoey was actually his daughter.Meanwhile, Zoey also briefly explained that she and Javier had met one another at a concert.However, Zoey did not mention anything about her live stream, probably because Robin did not support her in this aspect
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 671 Beaten or Shocked to Death
Zoey instantly panicked when she saw Javier hitting Jim.“What are you doing?! Jimmy’s my friend! I won’t let you be so disrespectful to him!”Zoey seemed to be panicking for real. She definitely wanted to get her tour guide permit as quickly as possible and was afraid that Jim would not give it to her if she offended him. Hence, Javier was prepared to grab Jim and prove to Zoey that he was nothing more than a scammer.However, his movements caused Zoey to misunderstand him once more, and she thought that Javier was going to beat Jim up again.Hence, she pushed him away and said, “Leave! I’ll pay you back the money I owe you. Now, stop hitting my friend!”Javier was left feeling very depressed. ‘How the heck can she not tell who’s the good guy here?!’Javier could no longer be bothered to deal with the situation when he saw how genuinely concerned Zoey was for Jim.There was no need for him to put in the effort to prove anything since time would eventually reveal the truth.

The Ace at the Apex Chapter 672 Why Has He Been Released?!
Even though Zoey was a very sexy and beautiful woman, Javier could not bring himself to do it with a drugged person.Although he was definitely no gentleman himself, he still had the decency to not take advantage of someone else.So, in order to ensure that he would not be tempted, he whacked Zoey once again and made her lay down on the bed unconscious.Javier headed to the bathroom and took a cold shower before he was able to wash away his fatigue and urges. After a while, he headed to the living room, opened a can of cold beer, and took a few sips.‘Finally, I managed to cool down entirely and not feel the urge to do it with Zoey.’That night, Javier slept on the couch instead of returning to his bedroom. It was not until the next morning that he woke up after being interrupted by some rustling noise.Opening his eyes, Javier saw Zoey tip-toeing toward the exit with a red face.He then said, “Why are you running away? Are you afraid that I might have my way with you?”The
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 673 You’re a Rather Shameless Man, Aren’t You?
In truth, Javier had already made arrangements to retaliate against Kaiden’s petty little tricks long ago.Javier was a man who would never get involved in a fight he was not sure of winning. Therefore, since he had the guts to go up against Kaiden so openly, it must be because he was confident that he would emerge victorious.Hence, after he was taken into the police cruiser that morning, the leading inspector received a phone call from the higher-ups.The conversation was very short and simple…They were to release Javier regardless of what he had done. The leading inspector thought that the entire situation was extremely ridiculous. “Are we still living in a lawful country?! Why is he being released just because we’ve been asked to release him?!”“Are you an idiot? Our superiors are the ones who personally called to get this done, so of course our country’s laws are still in place!”After the lecture, the person on the other end of the line said, “Also, have Kaiden arrested im

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
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
