The Ace at the Apex Chapter 740 A Menace
Javier was not actually lying. His work could be done no matter where he was. Turning on Bella’s computer, Javier connected to Reivaj Group’s internet to go through his reports easily. He went on his phone and signed on the touchscreen to look at documents that required his signature.Everything went on smoothly. Bella went to her secretary and asked about Javier several times but could only avoid him when she was told that he was still around.When noon came, she could no longer hide from him. They were business partners, and she could not possibly not offer him lunch. Hence, Bella hung her head as she went back to her office to ask Javier out to lunch.At the same time, Javier was just done going through the documents and signing them, so he stretched himself after deleting any relevant traces. It was during his little stretch that he accidentally pulled the drawer of Bella’s desk open.It was just a drawer. He could just close it if he accidentally opened it. It was not a big de
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 741 It’s All for Your Sake
Bella was, of course, reluctant to have Javier stay with her, but there was nothing she could do. Would she offend him? She could not afford to offend Javier. Persuade him? It would be in vain.Especially now that Taylor was here and was doing such an amazing job, Bella found it too risky to offend Javier. What if that caused Taylor to leave as well?Unable to do anything, Bella could only agree to take Javier home. It was fortunate that she was living with her mother and they were staying in a mansion, so there were plenty of rooms and she did not have to worry about sleeping in the same room with him.“Is this considered living together without sleeping in the same bed?”Bella glared at Javier but did not answer when his question reached her ear.When she stepped into her house, contemplating how she should break the news to her mother, she heard an argument breaking out inside.“I’m telling you, Bell has to get married whether she wants it or not. This isn’t your decision to

Javier was led upstairs by Bella. He would be staying in the second-floor bedroom tonight, while Bella and Kellyanne were staying on the third floor.Bella apologized to Javier after she took him to the bedroom. “I’m so sorry. I don’t know why my mom’s acting like this either. She didn’t use to be like this.”While Bella was troubled over it, Javier analyzed the situation for her, claiming that it had to do with Kellyanne being bullied by the Greenes for years.“It shouldn’t be a big issue. Get her a therapist and let her heal slowly. I believe it’ll be better in the future.”Bella found what Javier had said reasonable and was thankful that he understood.After a short chat, Bella left and Javier washed up and got in bed. He pondered coming up with a strategy to handle the old woman, who only picked on the weak and stayed fearful of the strong. It was just a little tricky. If she had been the mother of someone else, he could have just spent some money and beaten her up. He could n

To be honest, Javier really wanted to do something more, but he ultimately removed his hands. Bella had already agreed. As long as he could keep Chase at bay, she had promised to spend a period of time with Javier.Bella probably thought that Javier would never achieve this and had only agreed since there was nothing else she could do. Despite that, Javier was well aware that it would be too easy for him to fulfill his end of the promise. After letting go of Bella, he pulled back his finger and popped it into his mouth. “Hmm, kind of sweet.”The comment made Bella flush until she turned scarlet. “Jerk!”She got out of the car and frantically went into the office. She could care less about everything else the moment she stepped in the company and made a beeline for the restroom. That jerk Javier. She could forget about spending her work day in peace now…When Javier left Bella’s model agency, he called Herschel and drove to Chase’s father’s bank. He stopped outside of the bank, en
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 744 He’s a Big Fat Liar
Javier returned to campus after taking care of the issue. He believed that the bank president would take care of his one-eyed son. As for Lana’s son, that would be even simpler. Herschel had gone to tackle the task, and Javier was not sure what kind of method he was using, but there would definitely be results.If someone dared resist moving in the direction that he had planned out, said person would vanish from the world. This was proven true, as Bella received a call from one-eyed Chase at around five in the evening. She did not answer it, but Chase later texted her. She wanted to delete the text but could not help swiping to read it upon glancing at the content.For the most part, the message was basically him admitting his mistake and apologizing, then reassuring Bella that he would not harass her anymore.Bella almost wanted to call him and ask what had happened upon seeing the message. It was unbelievable. Why? Had he just backed off and turned nice because of what Javier ha
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 745 Forgot All About What I Promised
Javier ended the call while Kurt’s eyes watched eagerly, his heart swelling and yearning for the eventual good news. Kellyanne was not buying it at all. “He’s a fraud, a child, a goddamn hoaxer! A big fat liar telling lies as if baiting the Lord to incinerate him with lightning. The only time he’s telling the truth is when he calls himself a liar. Mark my words, Kurt. I’m just waiting for the Lord to smite him for all the bold-faced lies he keeps spouting!”Being fooled by him had soured Kellyanne’s opinion of Javier. She simply could not believe he was capable of telling the truth or keeping his promises.Javier was not going to waste his breath on defending his reputation. The truth would come out soon anyway, so why hurry?Kurt was back at begging Kellyanne. The latter’s reluctance and doubts persisted, as she had no idea what to do. She was starting to wonder if she should ask Chase Young for help behind Bella’s back. At that moment, Kurt and Javier’s phones rang in unison.
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 746 A Toast to You
Before Javier could say anything, a thought entered Bella’s sheepish mind. ‘Wait a sec—how could Grace betray my secret?!’ It was a terrible thought...Mortifying, even! It was a testament to how close these two were. Grace would not have told Javier had they not been intimate with each other. But that also meant Javier was already seeing her while he was actively wooing Bella!His audacity p*ssed Bella off a little. They were cousins! How could he even think this was okay?!Javier saw the indignant flash in her eyes and knew what was going through her mind. He lowered his head and leaned close to her ear. When he whispered, Bella’s cheeks burned intensely and her breath hitched. Javier had just told her all about the intimate things he had done with Grace—without a shred of reservation or euphemism!This embarrassed Bella greatly. “And that’s why Grace has no secrets. ‘Cause I’ve found out all of them,” he finished. “But you? You’re still a mystery. I’m curious about your sc

Javier grimaced and waved hurriedly. “No, I can’t. I really shouldn’t! I can feel the liquor burning my guts!”Rowan furrowed his eyebrows. “So you’re willing to compromise for Mr. Schitt’s sake, but not for me? That’s favoritism, Mr. Kersey! How disrespectful!”Bella tried to intervene. “Mr. Kerr, please! He means nothing like that. Mr. Kersey’s just not that good at drinking, so it’d really be best if we…”It did not work. Bella’s attempts at dissuasion and Javier’s evasion could rescue the latter from Rowan’s dogged insistence. In the end, Javier complied under pressure and clinked the edge of his glass against Rowan’s before finishing his drink in one go. Within the span of five minutes, 250ml of wine was gone. They had been drinking nonstop. Wiser drinkers would have known it was time to rest and slow down by this point. Joey, though, was so impatient to knock out Javier that he was hardly going to give the latter any breathing space. “Another one, Mr. Kersey!”Three more gl

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
