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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 39 One Should Not Live Their Lives at the Mercy of Others
In truth, Jade had not only agreed to have Javier stay in her home to honor her bet, but she also did it for the Dunhams. Later on, she came clean with Javier about her thoughts and hoped that by having Javier live in her home, the fellow from the Dunhams would finally give up. If he were to stop pursuing Jade, she would not be forced into marrying him anymore. However, Javier did not agree with her thoughts. Instead, he merely thought that Jade was unknowingly making him more enemies! If he were to live in Jade’s home, both the Odells and the Dunhams would immediately see him as a hostile presence. However, Javier decided that it didn't matter.‘Why should I be worried about those small fries when I’m the one they should be afraid of? Let those foolish idiots come at me as much as they want then! I’ll teach them a lesson that they will remember forever… They will come to realize that I’m no mere pushover they can just mess around with whenever they please!’Jade’s house was lo
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 40 They Should Be the Ones Coming to Beg Us!
Jade’s words were firm, something that was almost unimaginable for her to have considering her slender and petite frame.In fact, her fearless temperament bolstered Catherine’s courage. Finally, Catherine took a deep breath and nodded her head. “All right then!”With that, Catherine agreed to have Javier live with them… That night, Javier was arranged to live on the second floor, while Jade and Catherine lived on the third. Initially, Catherine was worried that Javier might get up to no good during the night, but it turned out that she had been worried for nothing. It was only after this that Catherine wholeheartedly accepted Javier living in their home. The next morning, Jade and Javier headed to the company, where they entered their own offices and buried their heads into their work. However, after a mere half an hour, Jade rushed into Javier’s office in a panic. “Javier! Something bad happened!”Javier could tell from Jade’s expression that whatever it was, it was definit
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 41 Don’t Come Begging Me
Jade’s first instinct was to decline, but Javier beat her to the punch and said yes, much to the young woman’s initial bewilderment. Of course, by the end of their lunch, Jade saw why. Javier could drink an ocean if he wanted to.Jade wagered the men had consumed a good 700ml or so worth of white wine each, and yet only Dwayne and Clement were positively sh*t-faced. By the time Jade and Javier left, those two were swinging their clothes around like a lasso while taking their sexiest attempts at twerking.To top it off, Dwayne would even throw his head and spew a drunken, skyward spout every now and then. Clement, being quite the supportive hype-man, would then groggily clap and cheer, “Ooh…Pwetty…fountain!”To sober up after that spectacular foofaraw was to toil in embarrassment.“You are a f*cking lightweight, Mr. Lewinsky. That was what, a kid-sized pint? And apparently, that’s enough to reduce you to a clown!”“Ha, the pot calling the kettle a terrible drinker, aye? You were th
