The Ace at the Apex Chapter 694 The Price of Offending Me
What Javier had said made Cher feel even more conflicted. She was not that kind of woman, but if someone paid 45,000 dollars to sleep with her, she could fight for a shorter sentence for her husband.Despite that, sleeping with a man other than her husband…was a challenge for her. At least, she would not have been able to do it in the past. After some hesitation, Cher finally came up with a compromise. She decided to agree to Javier’s request and then file for divorce right after sleeping with him. She did not want to hurt her husband, so she would not marry another man after their divorce either. To punish herself, she decided that she would not marry again for the rest of her life. She would just live the single life until death, considering it her repentance for what she had done to her husband.With her mind made up, Cher let go of that mental burden and finally approached Javier, taking off her clothes with a blush. Her face flushed, turning a redder shade with each button she
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 695 We Don’t Attack Allies
While Javier was still in school, Cher had already eagerly gone to the local court and detention center. The case was yet to be closed, and her husband, as the suspect, was being detained in the detention center.When Cher met her husband, Logan Armstrong, she told him happily that she had paid the sum and the court would take it into consideration and shorten his sentence accordingly.“I asked the lawyer, and considering shortening the sentence accordingly is only an official saying. Since we paid the compensation that the court has approved of, the sentence will be shortened greatly, so your sentence…”Cher was talking to Logan merrily when he suddenly asked, “Where did you get the money? Tell me where you got the money!”Cher was startled upon being interrupted by her agitated husband while she was speaking. She replied instinctively, “I got it by selling our house and dipping into our meager savings. I also got a 45,000-dollar sponsorship from a wealthy student of mine.”“A 45
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 696 Worthless Kindness and Devotion
Orion was home thinking about Vernon while he heard Loki moan and groan. He did not get why there was no news from Vernon when it had been so long.As for Loki, who kept grunting on the side, he was increasingly grating on Orion’s nerves, but he could not complain. It was his son, after all, and he had ended up like that. Even the doctor had said that it was impossible for him to recover.While Orion wondered if Vernon had taken revenge for his son, he thought that he ought to find another woman. His son could not give them an heir anymore, so it was up to him now.As he contemplated this, the doorbell rang. Orion went to the door and took a glance through the peephole, feeling delighted when he realized that Vernon had come. He knew that someone like Vernon would keep his promise and was efficient when it came to handling business.When he opened the door, he asked eagerly, “How’s that scumbag Javier?!”Loki stopped moaning as well, glaring with wide eyes in hopes that he would
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 697 Her Reward for Being Kind
Javier really wanted to have his way with Cher but he did not let himself do it because he was well aware that it would only be instant gratification, as Cher would be hit by guilt when she woke up the next morning.As for what a woman wallowing in guilt and remorse could do, it was hard to tell, especially when her husband had insulted and accused her that day. Therefore, Javier did not do anything to her.The next morning, Cher felt her head throb and her throat ache. When she opened her eyes and realized that she was in a foreign environment, she was shocked. She did not understand how she had gotten there. She had been drinking in the bar last night—had someone assaulted her while she was drunk?!It was only when she saw Javier beside her that she recalled last night’s events…Cher turned as red as an apple once she thought of it. She could not imagine that she had done something that only people in the movies did. Feeling so embarrassed that her face was burning, she scrambled
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 698 Your Reparation Is in Order
What Javier said pushed the thug’s buttons. That little sweetheart had been so close, only to be snatched from his arms while he looked like a sucker who had just been taken advantage of! It made him livid.He swiped a baseball bat from below the table and stormed toward Javier, raising the service end of the stick against his face. “You f*cking pr*ck! Unless you plan to die today, p*ss off!” he barked. “This ain’t your mother’s place! Pick somewhere else to keep clowning!”Zenya pulled herself away from the safety of Javier’s arms and shoved him. “This doesn’t concern you! Go! You’re only p*ssing them off, and that’s a bad idea.”Zenya’s intention was a noble one. She was worried about Javier’s safety, and offending these thugs would endanger him unnecessarily. But her concern also meant that she underestimated Javier’s ability to defend himself, so he returned her goodwill by pulling her aside.Javier then stepped forward and snatched the baseball bat out of the thug’s hand befor
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 699 A Tad Different From How He Had Imagined It
Cher was not going to let him do her again, but unfortunately, she hardly had a say in this. Javier led her to the woods near the campus, and the rest can be predicted even by the least imaginative adult…There was little conversation after it was over. Cher took about three minutes to rest and struggled out of Javier’s arms, scowling. She tried to leave even before the reddish afterglow had faded from her countenance, but alas, her body was not as cooperative as she would have hoped. Her gait was an unsteady stagger, and her movements were jerky. It was pretty hard to see Cher now and imagine the same woman who was famous for the graceful spring in her step. Javier rose and caught up with her. He held her by the arm, stating, “This way, it will look like you sprained your ankle.”Cher realized belatedly that her gait was a little unbecoming—especially to an observer who knew about these things. Left with very little choice, she let Javier help her keep up the pretense.They bum
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 700 Bored of Living, Are We?
Megara was not a big fan of the proposal. “Why the hell would I possibly want that?” she protested. “I don’t wanna share you with her! No, I want—”“To be the only one with a say in this?” Javier cut her off.Megara faltered. Admittedly, she was hardly the one to call the shots. It was just that the thought of sharing her source of pleasure with Cher, of all people, rubbed her the wrong way.The problem here, of course, was that she was the conquered rather than the conqueror. Her disadvantageous position in this dynamic was what was causing this dilemma.Javier patted her back. “Don’t worry, you have all the time in the world to consider my proposal…until tonight, that is. If you like what you heard, then be there tonight. Otherwise, get off my lap.”The last time they had negotiated, Javier had been the one pleading with Megara to do something for him. How the tables had turned! She was the one on her knees now. It was a humiliating change, but then again, shame became trifling
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 701 What, You Think You’re Some Hot Sh*t?
Just as Javier was about to introduce his knuckles to the barking dog, Zenya appeared.Not keen on causing unnecessary trouble, he ended up stopping himself. Charlie, for his part, saw this as a sign of Javier’s cowardice. Pleased, he sprung toward the campus field as though he had already carried the day.Javier leered at the young man’s back and scoffed before turning his attention to Zenya. “How did the operation go?”She nodded happily. “It was a great success! The doctor told me that her illness is most likely never coming back. She’s basically cured!”That was genuinely great news. Javier could not help being happy for her.She blushed. “It’s all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, I…” she began.Javier waved. ‘Twas hardly a problem for him. It had been as easy as holding the door open for someone else.Zenya, of course, thought differently. For one, had Javier not appeared, she would have been stuck in a quandary she was not sure how to get out of. She had been so close

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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 868 Miss Material Gurl
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
