The Ace at the Apex Chapter 90 The Odell’s Dignity
Neve had not been forthcoming about her situation with Zayn. But from what he was seeing, Matthew understood everything clearly. The 1.5 million dollar diamond ring and whatever about getting ready to propose had all been a ruse made up by Zayn to deceive a fool.Many times, Matthew was no fool—given that no chairman position was involved. When he was younger, he had to compete against his brilliant elder brother, and recently, said brother’s daughter. There was nothing he could do. He wanted the throne and was willing to risk it all even when he knew the stakes were high.The reality had thoroughly proved that he had not made it.Matthew originally had the intention of pleading with Zayn. But when he saw Zayn’s attitude toward Neve and what he said to her, he knew that it would be futile. Now that the chairman throne and the assets he had given away in his own hands were out of reach, he had nothing left.The only thought he had right now was to use the screwdriver he held to stab

After leaving the office, Javier drove over to the Dunham Group. At the same time, Zayn was seated in his office, soaking in his underlings’ obsequious praises and bootlicking.“Mr. Dunham is young and brilliant. He’s the most successful one among all the young people I know.”“That…what’s the name? Reivaj Group doesn’t even know who they’re messing with. How dare they declare war against the Dunham Group. I think they’re on a suicide mission. Especially that Javier Kersey. Who does he think he is to fight our dear Mr. Dunham. He’s not even qualified to do such a thing, that piece of sh*t!”“It’s interesting how he dares pick a fight against Mr. Dunham. Reivaj Group doesn’t even have 7.8 million dollars in total assets. What does he have to fight Mr. Dunham with? Any subsidiary that Mr. Dunham casually appoints would kick him in the *ss…”The employees chorused each other as they clamored to pander to Zayn, the heir of the company. The apple polishing worked well on Zayn as he even

This meant that Zayn would be enjoying a “marvelous” treat when he was put behind bars. Once he thought of it, he felt shivers down his spine and could not help shuddering. Zayn was scared. Not wanting that to happen, he told Javier, “Buddy, let’s negotiate, hmm? I can give you some of it perhaps? They belong to Odello Corp. after all. We can split 70-30 between me and you, or even just 60 for me and 40 for you!”At the man’s reaction, Javier was rendered speechless. He would rather lose his freedom than his wealth.“Sure, that’s all to it then since you can’t wait to go to jail!”Zayn stopped Javier again when he expressed that he was leaving and begged him. He then said that it was not his decision to make and had to ask his father, the chairman of The Dunham Group. Leaving Javier in the office, Zayn hurried to his father, Geoffrey Dunham’s office. Geoffrey, who was going through some documents, asked when he saw Zayn entering, “You’re not in your office—”He did not get to c

The subsidiary companies under the ex-Odello Corp. were returned. The compensation of 12.599 million dollars was banked in as well. When everything was settled, Javier got up to leave.The lawyer would not have it and went after him for the original documents.“Why are you in such a hurry for the originals? Come collect them at my company later this afternoon when the handover is complete. Do you think I’ll run?”Javier left with that.Looking at the leaving Javier whose pockets were now loaded, Zayn felt like choking the lawyer to death. He would have done it too if the man had not immediately fled.Hurrying out of his office, Zayn barged into Geoffrey’s office. “Dad, how could you promise him all that?!”“You don’t understand.”Geoffrey waved for Zayn to come closer. Zayn leaned in and the father-son pair had a hushed conversation. At the end of it, Zayn cracked a smile.Javier had just arrived upstairs after driving back to the company when Jade frantically jogged up to him.

Zayn was dumbfounded at the lawyer’s words.He had wanted to keep the thumb drive himself, but Geoffrey, thinking that Zayn was too flippant and impatient, passed it to the lawyer who was reliable and mature in his way of handling things.What was happening now was entirely unexpected. They had lost the thumb drive!“What the f*ck are you doing?! Are you an idiot?! How could you lose the thumb drive when it’s not even that small! Why didn’t you lose yourself…”Zayn broke out in a flurry of curses and put the lawyer in an incredibly awkward spot. The latter was still confused. The thumb drive had clearly still been in his pants pocket when he got out of the car. When did he lose it?As the lawyer thought about it, he was struck with a sudden realization.When they took the elevator up earlier, a worker sending water dispenser refills had accidentally bumped into him. He had even grumbled about the worker dirtying his white shirt and hastily dusted himself off…Recalling the scene

Javier was a principled man who would usually not play the same trick twice, but it really depended on the situation. Since the Dunham Group wanted to play, he would certainly play along.Ultimately, Zayn and his lawyer bitterly paid another 12.599 million dollars and carried a stack of photocopy documents out. Zayn was still running his mouth when he got into the car, saying that Javier was not credible as he had said the first set he had given them was the last. But now they were walking out with a thick stack of photocopiesNo one knew whether Javier still had more. They could only act cautiously in the future…After transferring all the money he had received to the company account, Javier threw the last set of evidence he had into the paper shredder.Herschel asked from the side, “Mr. Kersey, aren’t you scared that he’ll come to find trouble with you again?”Javier chuckled. “Let him. No matter how much trouble he tries to pick, I have as many ways to handle him. We’ll see if

Although Zayn had now managed to lure Doug into his scheme, he was now faced with another problem... This idiot will be easy to fool. But if Javier joins his side, things will certainly become tricky.‘Looking at the tiff between Javier and me, it’d be a miracle if he actually decides to sell to me. He’ll probably take the chance to raise his selling price.’Zayn carefully pondered over this matter after leaving the restaurant and arriving back in his office chair. ‘Based on the Darton Group’s capabilities, it’s not difficult for me to understand what the “order from the higher-ups” is. Plus, there are other players in the competition, so fossil fuel businesses will definitely be selling like hotcakes.‘Now then, it’ll be impossible for me to approach Javier directly and have him sell it to me, but what if I had someone else do it for me instead?’On top of that, Zayn also wanted to find out exactly how much the Darton Group was willing to fork out for this particular fossil fu

“I admire your sincerity and your ambition…All right then, you’ve got yourself a deal! The fossil fuel company is yours!”Javier’s sudden agreement had the excited Kaecilius jumping in joy, his eyes shining with delight. In fact, he was genuinely delighted because Zayn had promised to pay him 300 thousand dollars should he successfully get Javier to sell him the plant.The handover took place immediately that very afternoon. Meanwhile, Zayn was only able to release such a huge amount of funds because he had given Geoffrey his assurance over and over again. After that, Zayn gathered a few staff from his finance department and hurried to the fossil fuel plant. Now that the handover was already in progress, Zayn had no more reason to hide the fact that he was the real buyer. Thus, he directly met up with Kaecilius. “Haha! As expected of my best friend! You’ve really helped me out big time, Kaecilius. Thank you!” When Zayn spotted Kaecilius, he immediately rushed up and embraced hi

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

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
