The Ace at the Apex Chapter 46 Should You Be Holding It in Your Hand?
Matthew was exceptionally confident that Jade would not be able to fulfill the quarterly deal they had.Clement had called him earlier in the afternoon and said that production had recovered while the controversy surrounding Midnoon Tires had also died down. Midnoon Tires had also reacquired most of the orders that had flocked to Beacon Tires when the scandal broke out.In Clement’s words, Beacon Tires was only a step away from bankruptcy! That was why Matthew dared be so sure.While those in the meeting shifted their gazes toward Jade, the lady was calm and composed as she retrieved photocopies of a report from her workbag. She tossed them on top of the meeting table and everyone picked up a copy. Everyone got a copy except Matthew.When they saw the photocopied reports, they gaped. The Matthew’s lackeys who had been hollering shut their mouths then. This made Matthew curious. Snatching one from his underlings to see for himself, he was shocked at what he read and stood frozen lik
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 47 The Price for Being Defiant
And lo and behold, before everyone’s eyes, Matthew crammed the fake report into his mouth. He could not have backed out even if he wanted to. As Jade said, he had made that declaration in front of so many people and could not lose his credibility as the vice general manager of the corporation.As he chewed, his eyes burned with a rage that looked like they could spew out and burn Jade alive. As an authority figure within the corporation, forcing him to eat the fake report was akin to having his face slapped. This infuriated Matthew.After swallowing the paper, Matthew glared daggers at Jade before turning around and storming out. He was too humiliated to stay any longer.When the monthly meeting had been wrapped up, Jade was in a great mood. The first thing she did going back to her car was to pull out her phone to call Javier and share the good news with him.Surprisingly, she could not reach his phone. The automated operator said that the phone was turned off. This put Jade on ed
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 48 Quiet but Deadly
As he observed the circle of men that surrounded him, Javier did not say a word. Instead, he proceeded to empty his pockets, tossing his items into his car. He was not even bothered to ask who had sent them. He could guess as much from Matthew’s barks earlier this morning.The bald guy snorted at Javier’s actions. “Don’t worry. We’re only cutting your ear off. We won’t take your things.”“You think too much. I’m just afraid that I have to waste more time looking for my stuff if I lose them while taking care of you guys.”Javier’s reply stunned the baldy for a few moments. He then guffawed and looked back at Javier like he was an idiot. “You? You think you can beat all of us?”“I, Sam Langdon, have spent years in the underworld. And you’re the first to ever amuse me even before I do anything to you. That’s pretty nice. To reward you, I’ll cut both your ears off so you maintain your symmetry. No need to thank me. I—”Sam was still speaking when Javier threw a fast punch. The baldy b
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 49 What a Bully
Matthew was taking care of Kendrick in the hospital and telling his son about how Jade had completed the quarterly deal. Kendrick had yet to find out that he would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life, thus was unbothered and unruffled that he had the time to think about making others suffer.“Since Jade has completed the deal, we don’t have to target her business dealing from now on—”Kendrick was speaking when Matthew cut him off. “What do you mean we don’t have to? Of course, we have to. It's necessary that we do so!“What do Jade and her mother depend on for their livelihood currently? Beacon Tires, no doubt.“Think about it. If they don’t have Beacon Tires, how will the two of them survive?”Realization struck Kendrick. “I understand what you mean now. We will be taking away their livelihood when we bring down Beacon Tires. When they’re unable to survive and we Odells don’t provide them with any support, Jade can only send herself to the Dunhams!”Matthew wore a vict
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 50 The Reassurance He Brings
Matthew knew nothing about finances. Similarly, he did not understand how Odello Corp. was being targeted financially when the company was not even listed. The deputy finance director explained everything to him, but it all sounded like a foreign language to Matthew. He just could not be bothered to digest it.“You’re the expert here. I’ll leave this to you. I’ll trust whatever you suggest!”The deputy finance director was quite moved. “I won’t let you down, Mr. Odell!”After the vow, the deputy finance director suggested that Matthew pull back all the corporation’s funds in order to face a possible incoming and bigger finance attack.Matthew sent out the order at once to direct back all the funds that could possibly be pulled back. His secretary asked softly from the side, “Mr. Odell, those stockpiles of raw materials for tires, they make up quite a substantial amount.”On one hand, it was the life and death of Odello Corp. On the other hand, it was tearing Beacon Tires apart. Al
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 51 Do You Have a Death Wish
After the financial sniping incident, Matthew suspected that Beacon Tires had something to do with the incident, as it was all too much of a coincidence. However, Mary Jane had already made plans for someone else to take the fall—under the pretense that a minor company had somehow been the instigator of the entire incident. By doing so, Odello Corp. would have no way of linking this incident to Beacon Tires. There was no way Matthew was going to let Beacon Tires off the hook despite not being able to link the two together.Over the next month, he coerced Odello Corp. into using all kinds of extreme methods to pressure Beacon Tires. However, all of these attacks were easily handled by Javier, rendering all of Matthew’s efforts moot, causing the latter to be extremely furious. At the same time, the young Dunham, who was the person pulling the strings from behind the scenes, was feeling frustrated as well.Judging by the man’s tone during their conversation, Matthew could tell tha
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 52 Javier’s at the Height of His Life!
At Javier’s question, pin-drop silence fell over the party.Dick stood before him, his eyes emanating a look full of scorn. “What’s wrong? Do you not like what I said? Are you going to hit me just like you did all those years ago? Come on then!“If you dare touch a single hair of mine, I’ll send people to hound you and make sure that you end up dead! Go ahead! Try me if you dare!!!”Despite how arrogant Dick was at that moment, he did not dare do the same to others of their group because most of them came from wealthy families with decent careers and a certain amount of influence behind the scenes. However, he thought that Javier was just a useless piece of trash that he could mock over and over again without any fear of backlash! Right at that moment, someone suddenly crashed the party! A clean-looking, handsome man rushed in with a fresh bouquet in his hands. “Hello, my dear female schoolmates! It’s me…Zayn Dunham!”Zayn was one of Javier’s schoolmates and the biggest dra
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 53 Making the Right Decision
On the way back, Javier questioned Jade about her prior actions and the reason she’d called him “honey.”Jade then explained, “You’re the one who sent me a text saying that you were having a reunion with your former schoolmates here and would be back home late tonight. That’s why I came over. “I thought that reunions usually involve people criticizing one another. Also, I know that you’re a man who prefers to keep a low profile, so I was sure that you would be one of those being criticized. Considering how much you’ve helped me in the past, I thought I’d come over and make you look good!”After saying that, Jade turned to look at Javier with a smile. “Hurry up and thank me!”Feeling flabbergasted, Javier chuckled and said, “Thank you.”“You’re welcome!”‘She’s really pretty when she smiles. I can feel my heartstrings being pulled whenever I see her like this…’Javier thought that this matter would end now that the reunion was over and nobody would bug him anymore. Alas, that
