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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 36 He’ll Be Kendrick’s Loyal Dog
Zack was stunned speechless at Kendrick’s retort. It took him a while before he regained his senses. He sobbed and yelled like a wronged housewife, “You can’t do this to me, Kendrick!” However, Kendrick had already hung up the phone call. Zack hurriedly tried to redial but was greeted with a voicemail, saying that Kendrick had already turned off his cell phone. Zack suddenly understood what Terry had felt before. All of the tricks and schemes that he had used on the latter, using him as a scapegoat and discarding him the moment he had lost his purpose. Kendrick had just done the very same thing to Zack.Meanwhile, Zack’s father became extremely furious when he saw how dejected Zack looked. “I must’ve been blind to think that I could place my hopes on you. I should’ve known that you’re just an incompetent fool who will never amount to anything!” As much as Zack felt aggrieved and unhappy, there was nothing he could do when he was scolded by his father. Fortunately, Zack’s f
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 37 That Might Have Been Rash of Me…
By the time his father and Javier arrived at the scene, Zack had already been apprehended by police who were patrolling the area. Zack’s father almost fainted when he saw Kendrick, lying on the ground in a pool of blood. The only thought that ran through his mind at the time was that his son had killed someone out of revenge. Fortunately, when the ambulance arrived, upon examination, the paramedics declared that Kendrick was merely severely wounded and unconscious. The pool of blood that Kendrick was lying in was his Labrador’s, his so-called “dear boy”, which had been rammed over. Thus, Zack was taken away in a police car while Kendrick was taken away in an ambulance. Meanwhile, the Labrador’s corpse and the beautiful woman that Kendrick had been with were both taken away as well since they were evidence and witness to the crime. After photos of the crime scene had been taken, the management of the building nearby very quickly cleaned up the mess. Javier had not expected such
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 38 I Told You Not to Cry, but You Wouldn’t Listen…
“Such arrogance! I’ve never seen anyone with such arrogance before!!!”Justin furiously yelled out after Javier had left. Justin was an account manager. Those insignificant, small-time boss of some middling company should be compelled to put on their brightest smile and turn on their warmest reception to him.However, Javier’s actions completely pushed Justin off the edge, leaving him feeling very unhappy. Then again, as unhappy as he was, Justin still had to remain professional. After calming down, Justin forced a smile back on his face before he took out his cell phone.“Hello, is this Matthew Odell of Odello Corp.? This is Justin from the bank. I’ve done as you’ve asked. An idiot from Beacon Tires’ finance department just dropped by, but I’ve already sent him away. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that they will no longer be a hindrance to you.”While Justin was on the phone with Matthew, Javier had already put up a few tasks on the black market. After that, Javier pushed back hi
