All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

”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

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

Zayn was sitting in the host’s chair inside a restaurant’s private room that afternoon, while Matthew and Neve were sitting next to him. Zayn made a suggestion. “As Mr. John’s biological granddaughter, Jade should have the right to inherit his shares if his death is confirmed. Therefore, we must coerce her into joining us and being our ally.“On top of that, she’s a member of the Odell family as well, and now’s the time for your family to work in harmony together to overthrow Victor. This way, you’ll be able to take control of Odello Corp. the moment Victor gets eliminated. Meanwhile, I’ll get to marry Jade, so it’s a win-win situation.”Matthew thought that Zayn’s suggestion was a perfectly sound one and immediately promised Zayn that he would do his best to gain Jade’s favor and make her one of their allies. While they were having this discussion, Matthew received a call from his secretary, who told him that the company had called an emergency meeting that afternoon. “F*ck th

Javier had already expected long ago that Zayn would go after Jade’s 26% share, so he was not going to allow Jade to leave empty-handed. On top of that, this would make Zayn break character, which was why he had been waiting for this event to begin for a very long time. When Jade saw Zayn’s flattering expression, she could not help but want to vomit. However, before she could even reject his offer, Zayn had already snapped his fingers at the person in charge of the exhibition. The man rushed over to Zayn’s side and flatteringly said, “How may I assist you, Mr. Dunham?”“The yellow diamond necklace that Kate Winslet wore in the past looks pretty nice. Bring it over for me!”Perhaps afraid that the surrounding crowd did not know how valuable the necklace was, Zayn deliberately added, “I’m talking about the necklace that’s worth 1.7 million dollars.”The person in charge nodded his head and walked away, very quickly returning with a beautiful model on a tray. It was undeniabl
