All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

No matter how Kendrick flirted with Ciara, Javier kept a blind eye like it was none of his business. Zack, who was observing Javier’s reaction, despised the man, thinking that he was a coward for not daring to fight back when someone was making a move on his woman right in front of him.The reality was that…Javier truly did not care. He was well aware that Ciara was incredibly gifted in pranking others. She had basically been born with that ability. There was no need for him to worry. As long as Kendrick did not force himself on her, he was dead meat. If he did force himself on her, Javier would make sure he was deader than dead meat.Under Ciara’s request, the four of them made their way out of the hotel to the biggest club in town. Zack led the way, while Javier drove Ciara in the Volkswagen Passat, and Kendrick followed behind with his Audi Q7. The sibling pair chatted in the car, none of them cared enough about Kendrick or Zack.When they entered the establishment, the DJ was sh

Dressed only in his underwear, Kendrick swayed and writhed on the dancefloor, looking absolutely sultry. But really, he felt like crying. He wanted his mommy.As for Ciara, she made a call after exiting the place and stated the club’s name.“Yes, acquire the club and shut it down. Kick the money back to me and donate the guy’s sum to poverty-stricken areas to build schools and stuff. Keep an eye on it, don’t let anyone else acquire it.”Hanging up, Ciara got into a black luxury sedan and left without looking back. She called Javier on the way to tell him that she was going home and asked if he wanted to keep the two bodyguards.“Nah, I don’t need them. I’m not so weak that I need bodyguards yet. You behave and cause less trouble.”“Heh, I don’t have to cause trouble. I’m trouble herself.”The siblings chatted a bit more before Javier hung up and exited the club. As for Kendrick who was still on his “sexy” dance routine, he did not care and did not want to look.Not too long afte

Jade was skeptical about Javier’s claim to seal the deal with Grazin’ Tractors. Even though he had got Fusion Electric Cars to sign the deal yesterday, Fusion was unlike Grazin’ Tractors. The latter sold its tractors nationwide while Fusion Electric Cars was only known locally. They could barely be compared.She then advised, “I’ll go talk to them about the sales. As for the car, I’ll also—”“No need. I’ll go in the afternoon. It’s decided.”Javier never liked stalling and dawdling. It was how he always had been and that came across as aggressive sometimes. Jade was not quite used to such assertiveness but she did argue any further, thinking that what Matthew told her yesterday was more suitable to be said to Javier—business was not about a stroke of luck!She thought to let him run into the wall and experience how easy one could fail despite his brimming confidence.Later on, Javier warned Jade, “Keep your distance from Zack Dilley from now on and keep your guard up, especially

Larry checked himself after getting out of the car, trying to look as calm as he could before reentering the office building, lest his coworkers noticed something was wrong.After letting the man leave, Javier sat alone in his car and made a call. About ten minutes later, his phone rang again. The display showed that it was Ciara who was calling.“Javier, I’ve found the casino you asked me to check out. It’s a cheap, dodgy place. I did as per your instructions too and it’s reported back to me that the person in charge of that little casino listens well.“He’s already deleted all information regarding Larry Keeton and has prepared the initial capital to return to Larry and has even added 150 thousand dollars as a token.”Javier thought that it was a great move as he could give it to Larry so he could treat his wife’s cancer.“Right, Javy, so other than these, I think you’d be interested in something else about that casino.”Ciara went on to tell him that Matthew Odell, Kendrick’s

Jade thought that Javier was only saying those words out of anger, so she did not take him seriously. And the truth was, the man looked like he had done nothing either. It had been one and a half days since the issue of the three manufacturers kicking their order back had cropped up, but Javier was still driving around leisurely. She even heard that he had gone into Clouston City and bought a pot of flowers back.Jade did not have the brainpower and was too embarrassed to care. The man had invested 1.5 million dollars and had become the biggest shareholder, as well as pulling two major business deals in. How was she supposed to boss him around?Hence, the job of running around to prove their tire quality passed the mark became her task as she wished. It was one hectic job.The next day when the workday was about to end, Jade proved not quite fruitful that day and returned to the company. Just as she entered her office, she saw Javier fiddling with a white jasmine plant.“Ms. Odel
