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
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
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. Th
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
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
Javier was not going to show Phineas the slightest hint of respect.So what if he was the chairman of Maple Court? Javier himself was the CEO of Reivaj Group, so Phineas was definitely inferior in comparison to him.Besides, Javier mostly understood how Maple Court operated. There were only a few more matters he could learn from Robin, so there was not much point in him staying there anymore.Thus, why would he have to show respect to Phineas? After scorning him, Javier hung up the phone and then packed up his things before leaving with Robin.Initially, they had planned on returning to Robin’s house to celebrate after they were done with work for the day. But now, they did not need to wait any longer because they had both resigned.On the way there, Javier asked, “Robin, what are you going to do now that you resigned from your position so rashly?”Robin did not seem to be bothered in the slightest. “It doesn’t matter at all! I’m a competent person, so I’ll find a job anywhere.
Robin explained a lot of things to Zoey, but the latter was completely dumbfounded, still unable to believe what had just happened. It was not until she extended her hand to touch Javier’s face that she realized that the man before her was indeed a living, breathing person.“Oh my God, you really are Javier! Are you really the CEO of Reivaj Group as well? You’re really awesome!”After that shocked exclamation, Zoey asked, “Where’s your mask? Can I play with it, please?”Javier was rendered speechless. He had wholeheartedly thought Zoey would be even more interested in him now that she was aware of his identity, but she ended up only being interested in his mask.When he pointed at the pile of ash in the ashtray, Zoey looked very depressed. “Why did you burn it? I wanted to play with it!”“All you know is how to play. Javier’s only two years older than you, yet he’s already become the CEO of Reivaj Group!”Zoey stuck out her tongue and left after asking Javier to have some fruit
It would take more than a whim for Javier to bring Maple Court to its knees. The limitation had nothing to do with a lack of training or skills and everything to do with speed. If he were to strike, it would have to be like lightning.After leaving the Fayes, he contacted Mary Jane Gould.Maple Court’s stocks were on the market, so the key to demolishing it was right there. As a stock kingmaker, Mary Jane could part seas or sink ships if she so chose with ease—and it was only going to get easier with the Kerseys’ funding backing her up.By 10 in the morning, Phineas received some devastating news.“Mr. Maple? Someone bypassed the stock market regulations and launched a financial campaign against us!”Phineas did not care for these technicalities. All he cared about was how much he might be losing. “And how much blood are we losing? Hundreds of thousands? Millions?”“All of it, sir,” his deputy financial director answered with a gulp. “Our enemy has invested a billion dollars into
