The Ace at the Apex Chapter 28 Acting Dumb Again
Furious, Kendrick went through his family connections and contacted Grazin’ Tractors’ director, Nathaniel Graze. When they met, he exposed Larry’s embezzlement and how he had lost all that money. Nathaniel was wrathful when he heard about it. Someone from Odello Corp. had personally paid a visit to inform him, so the accusation must be true. The director asked the finance team to check their accounts immediately.While the audit was being done, Nathaniel summoned Larry into his office to Kendrick’s accusations.“Larry Keeton, you’re doomed. Go pack your bags and wait to be sent to jail!”Larry furrowed his brows at Kendrick’s gloating.“Mr. Odell, I don’t understand what you’re saying and I don’t know when I’ve offended you.”Kendrick scoffed. “Acting dumb, is it? Sure, go on and act. The truth speaks louder anyway. Save your tears for later!”Larry did not retort and stood there quietly, composed like his name would be cleared, as if he was innocent, to begin with.About half
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 29 The Chamber of Industry and Commerce Dinner
Jade thought that Javier was only saying those words out of anger, so she did not take him seriously. And the truth was, the man looked like he had done nothing either. It had been one and a half days since the issue of the three manufacturers kicking their order back had cropped up, but Javier was still driving around leisurely. She even heard that he had gone into Clouston City and bought a pot of flowers back.Jade did not have the brainpower and was too embarrassed to care. The man had invested 1.5 million dollars and had become the biggest shareholder, as well as pulling two major business deals in. How was she supposed to boss him around?Hence, the job of running around to prove their tire quality passed the mark became her task as she wished. It was one hectic job.The next day when the workday was about to end, Jade proved not quite fruitful that day and returned to the company. Just as she entered her office, she saw Javier fiddling with a white jasmine plant.“Ms. Odel
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 30 Javier’s Retaliation
Zack had already figured it out. It was his reality that he would never get his hands on Jade, so he might as well ruin her and cling to Kendrick. After all, a man had to want something. Since he was unable to lust after the woman, he would lust after the money!His intentional sabotage made Parker, who had just picked up his wine glass, drop his glass back on the table with a thud.“What’s the matter with Beacon Tires? How could you be this despicable? Quality is how you gain a standing in the business world. What are you guys trying to do?“Tires, especially. They’re so very crucial to vehicle safety. How many drivers would meet harm on the road and even lose their lives because of the problematic tires you made, have you ever thought about that?!”Parker went on to fire off a tirade at Jade as Zack occasionally added a comment here and there, to fuel the fire and make the flames burn even brighter. Jade tried to explain herself several times but was unable to interrupt Parker’s
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 31 Never Skimp on Charity
Everyone in the banquet hall, including Parker, shifted their gaze onto Zack. Zack was both anxious and mortified. Just half a minute ago, he was slamming the table in indignation, claiming that they should haul the slanderer out and take turns to slap him. Half a minute later, his face was appearing on the surveillance camera recording, acting chummy with the three individuals who had complained about Beacon Tires’ product quality.Karma came so fast that he suffered a whiplash.Feeling on pins and needles, Zack looked around as he felt his face flush. The next moment, however, he growled at Javier with a fierce expression, “What is the meaning of this? This can’t be treated as evidence at all!”Javier seemed indifferent as he replied, “Yeah, I didn’t say that it was proof. But why are you panicking over it?”“I-I…” Zack stammered, at a loss for words. He wanted to deny everything, say that he was not the culprit, but the truth had been laid bare.Comment by Sue Yi Chuah: person
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 32 Kindness Is Kindness
Zack had been paying attention to Jade since Parker first mentioned the bidding. He knew nothing about ancient paintings but the patriarch of the Odells at the Odello Corporation was known for loving old paintings and calligraphy. Kendrick had mentioned during their chats that Jade had a certain level of understanding for such art pieces as she had spent a lot of time with the old man during her younger years.That was why Zack kept his eyes on Jade, wanting to judge from her reaction if the replica of Along the River was valuable or not. He assumed that it was not worth much when Jade had only made bids in small increments. He was even more convinced when she finally kept quiet.However, when Javier called out 150 thousand dollars, Zack recalled the assumption. He felt that it was a tactic that Jade was trying to pull. Everyone knew that the Odell patriarch liked ancient paintings so she must have made Javier do the bidding instead, calling out 150 thousand dollars directly to stun
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 33 Keeping up Appearances Despite the Costs
Between money and dignity, there was no right choice. To all the businesspeople present tonight, money mattered as true businesspeople were always after profits.Despite this, Zack was not a real businessman. To Javier, he was merely an idiot who was slightly better off in life.And reality did not let Javier down either. Zack actually made an idiotic decision and accepted Parker’s calligraphy with tears in his eyes.Parker himself was very moved when he saw that Zack was close to tears and embraced the younger man. “You’re a good kid. It’s okay to make mistakes. You’re still a good kid if you realize your mistake and correct it. You’ve done a good job tonight and I’ll help you spread your kindness.”Zack actually cried but it was not tears of remorse; it was because of the ache in his heart over the money he had lost! No matter how much it pained him, however, it did not stop him from maintaining his image. Wiping his tears away, he raised Parker’s calligraphy high up. “What’s t
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 34 I Guarantee It With My Head
Beacon Tires’ workshop had caught fire.By the time Javier got there, Jade, with her disheveled hair haphazardly gathered into a ponytail at the back of her head, was already there.According to the woman, it was fortunate that an employee had caught the fire early which resulted in less loss or casualties. Only some small parts and semi-completed items had been burned. The rough estimation loss was around 15 thousand dollars.Against the threat of a fire, this loss could almost be dismissed, but they had to find out the cause of the incident. After checking the surveillance footage of the workshop, they found out why the place had caught on fire—about a half hour ago, a burglar had sneaked into the tool storeroom at the back of the workshop and had used a lighter to light up his surroundings. Due to the prolonged burning time, the lighter burned through its own plastic casing and this caused the burglar to throw the lighter onto the floor in a panic. Coincidentally, there were to
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 35 A Phone Call Away
Zack did pay but instead of eight thousand dollars, he had only paid four thousand. The money that went through Terry would naturally not be audited, so the man had of course kept some for himself and the amount ultimately became 1.5 thousand dollars.The burglar had kept an eye out and saw that the fire had not done much damage and the police were not called, so he happily squandered the 1.5 thousand dollars. But before he could spend most of it, he was caught by the bounty hunter.Terry, who was hiding in the washroom to call Zack for help, was dragged out by the police and hauled away.The next morning, as the person who lodged the report, Javier went to the criminal investigation bureau. Upon arriving, he saw Zack being brought to the interrogation room by an officer. The officer in charge informed him that Terry had admitted that Zack was the one who instructed him to do it.Despite that being the truth, Zack had kept a backup plan. He paid using only cash and the two had only
