The Ace at the Apex Chapter 79 Celebrating Two Happy Occasions in One Night, Maybe Even More…
“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t bring myself to kick Matthew out of the company…”Jade’s face was filled with embarrassment while Javier was driving her home. Taking a good look at her expression, Javier chuckled and said, “It’s all right, you’re a very kind woman by nature, so it’s very normal for you to not have done so.”Jade did not know if she was truly being kind or plain stupid. Matthew had clearly done all sorts of things toward her in the past, yet Jade somehow thought of her grandfather at that crucial moment, about how Matthew was his only son, and how her grandfather might feel very sad if he found out that she had kicked Matthew out of the company. “Since I’m the chairwoman, I think Matthew probably won’t dare do anything stupid even if he wants to, so…”Javier nodded his head. “Yeap, I understand. It’s all right.”However, although Javier was comforting Jade, his acceptance of her explanation was another matter directly. After all, once a snake, always a snake…Just

After the kiss, the young couple came over to apologize to them. As young and wild as they were, they were still polite people. Javier and Jade both said that it was all right and the both of them played for a while longer before they went back to land.At that moment, Jade, who had been embarrassed the entire time, said that it was getting late and that they should be heading back. Javier agreed as well, so they left the park and returned to their car before heading back to Jade’s house. However, just as Javier parked the car in the courtyard, Jade said shyly, “I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to stay at my place anymore.”Javier laughed and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you cutting me off now that I’m no longer useful to you?”Jade hurriedly waved her hands. “No, of course not! Of course that’s not what I meant, but it really has become inappropriate for you to live at my place.“I could even buy you a house if you’d like, and then… Aah! Anyway, it’s just inappropriate

Although Javier would usually not be bothered by such things, the woman was insistent on picking a fight.Standing at the door, Javier was quiet for a bit before he looked up at the roof.“All right, that’s it. Stop looking around. What the f*ck are you looking at anyway? No matter how much you look, it’s my house. Get the hell out of here!”Neve’s voice rang out from behind Javier, but he ignored her. He was not longing for the house. He was just wondering how long it had been since he had acted, for lack of better words, like an upstart. He was 24 this year; no longer young and wild. By right, it would not be appropriate for him to behave so arrogantly. But if he did not seize the last bits of his youth and go wild, it would be even harder to do so when he grew older.“Sure. If you want to play, I’ll play,” Javier said as he pulled out his palladium Messer card and handed it to the salesman. “470 thousand dollars for the house. I’ll take it.”He then looked at Neve. “Come on,

With his legs crossed over one another, Javier was leisurely sitting on a chair in the finance room when the salesman ran in frantically. “Mister, the lady just now…is missing!”The duplex owner was dumbstruck. She had been hoping for Neve to bring her 8-million-dollar card over and continue raising the price. How was she gone just like that?The finance staff spoke up, “Her card’s still here. Her money is still in our account too. Maybe she just went to the washroom…”As the three of them wondered where Neve had gone, Javier had no interest in the matter. Where had Neve gone? Simple—she had fled!If she did not want to embarrass herself, the easiest route was for her to flee and then ask for the money back through Matthew’s connections later. She would even later proclaim victoriously, “I had something urgent come up that day, so I couldn’t waste any more of my time playing with you!”She would not have to spend a dime and would salvage her dignity. She might even sing-song inw
Last Updated : 2022-02-21The Ace at the Apex Chapter 83 Matthew the Scapegoat
When Javier bought his new place, he moved in and did not stay with Jade anymore. Afraid that he would misunderstand why she had wanted him to move out, Jade repeatedly explained to him that she was not burning bridges.Catherine on the other hand was quite reluctant to have Javier leave because he had helped her out in secret several times while he had been around. Catherine came from a rural mountain area and had relatively more impoverished relatives. She was the only city dweller—having married into a wealthy family and ended up becoming a rich housewife. That was why everyone came to her for help.But despite her seemingly glorious status, The Odells treated her worse than a dog, so she was hardly much help. Things were different while Javier was staying with them. Anyone who came to Catherine for help, whether it was big or small, Javier was able to take care of them all. It made Catherine feel good. And her impression of the man only grew better.After having one last meal

As they arrived back at Jade’s place, Matthew had just arrived as well and was parking his car. Under John’s instructions, Jade got out and confronted Matthew alone first.“Uncle, what are you trying to do? Why are you draining Odello Corp.'s sales and assets and giving them to the Dunhams?”“Oh, you’ve really realized? All right, there’s no need for me to hide then.”Matthew looked triumphant as he leaned against his car door.“I did transfer the sales and assets but I’m not gifting them to the Dunhams. Not that they’d accept it!“Neve’s together with Zayn now, so he’s my future son-in-law!“Do you think a son-in-law would embezzle his father-in-law’s assets? He’s just helping me strip those sales and assets off of you. They ultimately belong to me. When the time comes, I’ll be the chairman of the new Odello Corp.!“As for you, Jade Odell…hah. You’re just a little b*tch after all. Watch over your shell of a company and await your doom!”Rage burned within Jade as she looked at

Worried that even the smallest of moves would alert Matthew, Zayn had not made any prior planning. All he had in mind was swallowing Odello Corp. in one go.It came as a shock then when Matthew snatched away the thick cut of meat that was already in his mouth and ready to be consumed within just one night.This caused Neve to be brutally beaten using the slippers this morning.“I’m helping you guys with everything I have and even when my family asked me to gobble up your company when I had the chance, I didn’t because of you. And this is how you all treat me? Look at me as a fraud and trample all over my kindness?!”Zayn’s pressing questions made Neve speechless. She felt wronged as she did not know what happened. After leaving Zayn, she went to find Matthew.“Daddy, why did you pull back the sales and funds to Odelle Corp. again? Have you gone stupid?”Instead of getting furious at Neve’s questioning, Matthew looked rather triumphant.“Me? Stupid? Your daddy is anything but stu
Last Updated : 2022-02-21The Ace at the Apex Chapter 86 Who’s Taking Revenge on Me?
Neither John nor Matthew took Javier’s warning seriously. They thought that it was no different from a child who threw a “just you wait” after losing a fight. It proved nothing other than he was useless.After Javier left Odello Corp., he found Jade standing at her car and wiping away her tears.“It’s okay. We’ve only lost Odello Corp. We still have Beacon Tires.”Jade shook her head. “I’m not sad about losing the shares. If Grandpa wanted to give those shares to Matthew, he could’ve just told me honestly. Odello Corp. has always been his. I wouldn’t hesitate to give the shares to him.“He shouldn’t have lied to me and played me for a fool. Or trample over my love and respect for him as family.”Instead of offering words, Javier pulled Jade into his embrace. Jade did not resist and snuggled against Javier. She apologized with a sob.“I’m sorry, Javier. You’ve helped me so much, but all your hard work has been ruined because of me.”“It’s okay. I’m responsible too. I shouldn’t

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

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
