All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 661 - Chapter 670

The secretary informed Javier and Dahlia that they had dug out some bones at the construction site. The police had cordoned off the area and said that the bones found might not be all. There could be more around the site. That was why the place would have to be sealed off for some time, and it would cause the construction progress to halt.Dahlia frowned at once. “HQ’s watching this batch of houses, and we have a completion deadline. We already have a tight timeline to follow, and people are working overtime and overnight, yet the police are now closing the place off for some time. This—”“This isn’t the issue, and the issue doesn’t lie here at all.”Javier had thought much further than Dahlia. He was the chairman of Reivaj Group, so it meant that he had to be far more perceptive. Dahlia had never been a chairman, however, so she would not understand what Javier was talking about.Javier continued to say, “The issue is that word will get out once the police cordon off the site. Onc

After the executive meeting, Kaiden returned to his company, glowering. Javier had called him a sc*m in front of so many high-level executives, and he was even proven wrong after that. It disgruntled him as he felt like he was embarrassed. If the chairman had not taken Javier’s side, he would have beaten the latter up—that was, if he had the guts.That did not stop Kaiden from fuming inwardly, though, nor did it stop him from kicking his table and chair when he returned to his office.As his secretary, Jayden was fast to appease him. “Mr. Johnstone, what’s the matter? Who angered you? Don’t be mad.”As he coaxed the man, he was slapped, stunning him.“No, wait. Mr. Johnstone, why are you slapping me?”“Why am I slapping you? A slap is already a light one. I want to fire you!”Kaiden snarled, “If it weren’t for you, would Javier have picked on me in front of everyone?“I listened to you and transferred him to East Chinea Construction, making it an open promotion but an implicit d

Nelly was Dahlia’s secretary. Her husband had gone to the sea with the commercial fishing boat not too long after they got married. She was a pretty lady with quite a good figure. Otherwise, her husband, a chief officer, would not have been together with her.Despite that, pretty women always had more temptations. Nelly, who had tried her best not to hook up with men aside from her husband, had been feeling lonely recently, especially at night. Yesterday, for example, she had secretly bought female s*x toys from the Internet. Although the delivery had yet to arrive, she was already anticipating it.It came as a shock for her to run into such an intimate scene in the office this afternoon, so she froze on the spot.Dahlia was incredibly embarrassed upon seeing Nelly freeze at the door and struggled to get up to avoid such an embarrassing scandal getting out, but Nelly had reacted faster. Before Dahlia could do anything, she had closed the door and left promptly.Nelly was flustered

“I-I don’t know. It’s probably my best friend’s. I'm staying with my best friend.”Nelly made up a lie about a best friend while she was dying of embarrassment. In fact, she was the only one staying there. There was no best friend.Javier obviously knew as much, so he pointed at the shoe cabinet at the door after tossing the toy aside.“The shoes are all yours, and there’s only one glass at home. It’s enough to prove that you’re staying alone. How is there a best friend? This is obviously you trying to alleviate your loneliness.”Javier was merciless, exposing Nelly’s thoughts directly and embarrassing her to no end. He was still rambling when Nelly snapped.“What do you want? Mr. Kersey, what do you actually want? I’m a woman living alone, and you’re at my place telling me all these things. What the heck do you want?!”Javier chuckled upon seeing that he had successfully forced Nelly into a corner. “Don’t you know what I want?”As he said this, he stepped closer to her.When N

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
