The Ace at the Apex Chapter 59 Let Me Tell You Some Good News
Matthew and Neve had mistaken the paper in Jade’s hands for the notice from the board of directors the latter had passed to Jade earlier this morning. To them, the fact that it was an A4-size paper as well had made it impossible to guess its contents.Jade’s retort, however, smothered their laughter instantaneously. Startled, Neve snapped out of her shock and said curiously, “No way. That can’t be…dare I say it? It’s…your resignation, right?!”Then, an ear-splitting guffaw of even greater intensity filled the room. It was shrill enough that even those outside of Matthew’s office could hear it.Jade considered the chortling duo impassively. God knows which one of them was more insane than the other. She marched ahead, closing the distance between her and Matthew before shoving the agreement into his chest.“Read it yourself. Get your daughter to use a dictionary if some of the words are too complicated for you two,” she rasped. “Morons.”She turned on her heel and stormed out of th

She sounded placid enough, but the smug glint in Neve’s eyes was unmistakable.This piece of “great news” immediately ignited Jade’s rage. “How low can you disgusting pr*cks stoop, Neve?! I was the one who secured this deal! You’re not even coveting it in the shadows—no, you’re just gonna rob me in plain sight! You two think that just because Grandpa’s sick, your daddy can rule the family business however his despotic *ss feels like, don’t you? That’s why you’re acting like you can do whatever you want!”The more livid Jade was, the more satisfied Neve felt.“Oh, it’s so embarrassing just how right you are. Of course, we’re taking this chance to squash you under our boots. And you’re hardly the end of it. We’re gonna teach your mom a lesson too. Hell, we just wanna screw you guys over so hard that the only way you could survive is by begging for charity on the streets!“Oh, right! Almost forgot. To be frank, I didn’t actually need to come here to tell you this. So why did I? Silly

In Odello Corp.’s meeting room, Matthew had called an emergency meeting, summoning the corporation’s executives. He announced the good news of the partnership between Drakon Real Estate, a company under Odello Corp, and Sky Loft.“Thanks to Ms. Neve Odell’s persistent efforts, she finally managed to score Sky Loft’s sales agency authorization!“What’s this? It’s a miracle! Sky Loft has its own sales company, but it’s authorizing Drakon to sell its property. What is this if not a miracle? This is the first miracle that Ms. Neve Odell has worked after entering Odello Corp. based on her own capabilities. We should—”Matthew was about to encourage the occupants in the room to learn from Neve when the latter called him. Matthew thought that she must have just signed the agreement, so he answered the call and put it on speaker with the intention to boast.“Hello, Ms. Neve. You—”“Daddy, it’s true that Jade got the sales. The agreement is also real, but they shredded it when I came for t

Jade had not taken Javier seriously when the latter had speculated that Matthew might have a favor to ask her. It was not until now when Matthew implicitly told her that Neve had ruined the project with Sky Loft, that she realized Javier had guessed correctly.Recalling how insolent Neve had been in the office previously, Jade felt fury brew within her. She looked at Neve. “Good job, that’s really something. The agreement was signed, yet you still ruined it. You even sent the letter back for them to shred it. I have to say…well done!“I can’t compare to your capabilities—no regular person could. You’re fantastic!”Jade’s ridicule put a scowl on Neve’s face while she fumed inwardly. She could not help retorting, “Of course, I’m not like you. Who knows if you got the deal with Sky Loft by spreading your legs?”Jade’s blood boiled when she heard the insult. Before she could say anything, though, Matthew berated Neve.“What are you talking about? You’re a girl, yet you keep making up

Jade went to Odello’s headquarters after leaving Sky Loft. Holding the agreement in her hands, she stepped into Matthew’s office and slammed it onto his desk.She then turned to Neve, who was seated on the couch with one side of her face swollen.“Vice GM Odell, I’m here with another agreement. Do you want to show your extraordinary competence?”Gripping the ice she was using to cool her burning cheek, Neve wanted so much to crash it against Jade’s head.Matthew quickly spoke up with a chortle, “Nothing like that. I told you, it was a misunderstanding. Jade, don’t mind this. The deal with Sky Loft is all yours, so you’ll handle it. No one else, just you!”Taking a glance at Matthew, who was bowing down to her, and Neve, who was inwardly fuming nearby, Jade giggled and turned to leave with as much flair as she could, something she had not dared even thought of doing in the past.After Jade left, Neve threw the ice she was holding on the floor.“Look at how much that b*tch is gloa

”Due to the sales performance of Ms. Jade Odell, GM of Drakon Real Estates, or lack thereof, I propose that our vice GM, Ms. Neve Odell, take over the sales…”Matthew brought up Drakon’s zero sales regarding Sky Loft’s project during Odello Corp.’s monthly meeting and followed up with the suggestion that Neve take over.Even though others could see that he was stripping Jade of her power, no one was able to say anything. After all, it was a fact that the project had made zero sales under Jade’s leadership, which was a hard hit. In Drakon’s entire history since its establishment, it had never had a precedent of making no sales for a week.No one objected to the proposal, so Jade could only accept it despite her reluctance. After the meeting, while she was getting up to leave, Neve cornered her. When everyone else left, Neve looked at her tauntingly. “Weren’t you so proud before? Of what? You’ve been open for sale for one week, but the sales have stayed at zero. Are you still proud? A

In the cafe, Jade put down her coffee and pushed her laptop toward Javier.“Take a look. These are the comments I found online regarding our sales office.“You wouldn’t believe it unless you saw it. As sales reps, how dare they treat customers with that kind of attitude…”Jade was furious. She could understand competition in business, and Neve could go all out if she wanted to take revenge on her, but they were doing this for the corporation at the end of the day. They were trying to make profit for the company. How could this be turned into an attack as well?Javier glanced at the comments and articles Jade had pulled up. They were more or less similar to his earlier experience in the sales office. He retrieved a copy of a video clip and played it on the laptop, angling the screen toward Jade this time.“I think you’ll get the first-hand answers after watching this.”Jade was infuriated when she watched the clip, especially after hearing the salesgirl slander her by saying that

When John Odell, the chairman of Odello Corp, was first attacked by his illness, he had lost consciousness after being hospitalized. Therefore, Matthew had endorsed himself as the vice general manager of the company, wanting to take charge on the basis that he wanted to “ensure that the company’s operations remained stable.” The people who had agreed to this motion of his were of course the elders of the company, with Victor as their leader. Thus, they had “absolute control” over this temporary person in charge. Both Matthew and Neve immediately realized that something was wrong when they heard the dangerous words Victor had just said. However, both father and daughter still held out some hope that Victor would not make that choice. Matthew believed he was definitely going to be the chairman in the future, so Victor and the other elders would not gain anything if they were too hostile to Matthew. However, the reality of the situation exceeded his expectations, as Victor v

The Ace at the Apex Chapter 875 What Is This Four-Legged B*tch Trying to Do?
As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 874 I’m Having Meatballs Tonight
Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” Javier threw his arms up in exasperation
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 873 I Didn’t Do This! I Swear!
Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?”Baffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 872 Honey, I’m Not Crazy, This Dog Is Magical!
A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 871 Hypnotized And In Too Deep
The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for

Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 867 This Is One Dramatic Dog
As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
