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

Bella would never say yes to Javier’s advances. In fact, her no was so definite, complete, and unnegotiable that she hurried away from Javier’s bedroom in a panic.She hid under the covers in her room. She tossed, she turned, she tried her damnest, but sleep seemed to evade her. All she could remember was how she had felt when he had touched her. There were times when she felt the impulse to act, only to stop herself out of bashfulness and shame. Javier had no problem sleeping, for his part. He was not losing a wink of sleep to impatience or worry—not when he was sure Bella was steadily falling for his unstoppable charm…The next morning, the two of them left simultaneously after having breakfast. Javier watched Bella’s car vanish into the distance, a confident smile hanging on his lips. Her mind would grow more and more restless these days, he was sure. And that restlessness was going to push her into his arms soon…At school, Javier started searching again to nail any suspect be

Having his *ss handed in public made Raiden a very angry man. Who did this student think he was to lay his hand on his lecturer like that? This was an act of disrespect, pure and simple! Of course, Javier had always been that guy. Raiden was hardly an educator in even the most charitable sense of the word! He was just a parvenu at best; a sh*tty parvenu. A teacher teaches and an educator educates, both by spreading knowledge and exhibiting exemplary behavior. And then there was Raiden Foxx, whose only motive was to take advantage of the young women under him. How could that make him a lecturer?Javier rubbed his knuckles to prepare them for Raiden’s face. Raiden clapped the dust of his hands to ready his palm for Javier’s cheek—Suddenly, Megara Galloway strode past the room. Catching the prelude of a fight out of her periphery vision, she frowned and stepped inside. “What is the meaning of this? A lecturer and an undergrad brawling on campus? This isn’t a bar fight! Have some clas
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 750 Severing Ties
More than two hours later, Javier and Megara finally stopped. It was two hours of paradise to her. The pleasure she had drawn out of the experience was indescribable. They were engaging in some post-sex teasing for a bit when Javier’s phone rang. He picked it up and heard Harley’s panicked voice. “Bro, are you still in Miss Galloway’s office? Get out of there, man! Now! You’ve gone viral!”Javier was confused at first, but once he asked and received an answer, his mood soured. Frustrated, he hung up and told Megara, “Go home. I’ll handle this.”She had overheard the conversation too and was stunned as the reality of it sank in. Megara had believed that their secret was foolproof. She had allowed herself to think that no one would ever find out about whatever was going on between them. And yet, someone had filmed their activity clandestinely and uploaded it for the viewing pleasure of the campus. Everyone in this university knew. Everyone!Megara was mortified. Now that everyone
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 751 If Only I’d Met You Sooner
Zenya could claim that getting fired from her job as student president was at least reasonable. The university had picked this exact moment to run an investigation, and incriminating evidence had cropped up. Except the news of her mother being kicked out of the hospital could not possibly be right. Parrson Group, which was supposed to pay for her mother’s bills, suddenly withdrew all their support for no discernable reason. No, there was no reason. There was no reason because paying the bill had been voluntary on their part too—basically no different from a corporation’s whim to help. There was no law or contract mandating their support, so there was no penalty for withdrawing it either. It was nobody’s business. Zenya was shocked witless. She quickly called her contact in Parrson Group to get an answer. Her call never reached them because they had blacklisted her. Then, her landlord called her. He told her that the price of her rent had just risen, and the terms of renting had

Megara was a good woman. Javier was happy that she could have happiness. However, he was no longer happy after he left Megara’s place because he recalled Raiden. He was disgruntled once he remembered that Raiden had actually dared stab him in the back.Once Herschel came back with an address, Javier drove there right away. Herschel had picked a good spot this time. It was an abandoned crematorium. Since it had only been days after the move, the incinerator and everything else were still available.Javier found Raiden, who was tied on the incinerator stretcher, soon after he entered. The man was scared witless. Fear had taken over his expression, as he had not expected to end up like this just because he had exposed Javier and Megara’s video to vent his resentment.Raiden’s heart lurched in fear, and he could barely speak due to how shaky he was. He knew what a crematorium looked like, as well as the function of the incinerator, so he begged Herschel to let him go in a quivering voic
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 753 The Punishment for Being Brazen
Javier had never let anyone threaten him simply because he did not like threats. He believed that the same applied to everyone else. That was why he halted and turned to look at Zenya with a chuckle when he heard her threat.“Zenya Turing, do you know that you’re courting death?”Zenya was a little scared, as this was her first time seeing Javier smirk like this. However, she could care less when a wealthy and comfortable future was on the line.Bracing herself, Zenya told Javier, “Cut the crap. Either agree to be with me and let me share your assets, or I’ll publish the video online and expose you and Megara!“Don’t think I don’t know that you secretly sent someone to erase the video. But it’s useless. I saved a copy a long time ago. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll be fine. But if you don’t, I’ll expose and ruin both you and Megara!”These were threats fueled by greed. Zenya was resorting to all kinds of crooked tactics.Javier kept both his hands in his pockets as he lo
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 754 The Scariest Punishment
In reality, Javier found that death was, many a times, not the scariest thing. What was worse was losing everything.Just like when Zenya woke up the next day and felt like she had become a completely different person. Her pretty face had been ruined, and her voluptuous figure was gone—all because of a fire in the crematorium, where gasoline had been splashed on her before she had been lit ablaze.She had thought that she was going to die, but she had suddenly been freed and the fire had been put out with soil. That was why when she had woken up and seen herself, her skin was festered and her breasts were gone. She looked like a monster.“No, this isn’t me. This absolutely isn’t me. This isn’t me at all!” Zenya wailed, refusing to believe that she looked like this.She ran and flagged cars by the side of the road, but no car dared to stop, as the drivers thought that she was a monster. Finally, a police car stopped and let her in kindly to take her to the hospital.On the way ther

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

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
