The Ace at the Apex Chapter 156 A Picture With You, Starshine!
The man in the Ferrari took his shades off, and Javier instantly recognized him. It was none other than Luca Pangani—the bigshot from the Easton Group who had nonetheless been skewered pretty blisteringly by Javier before in Xerxes Village.As for the young woman he had managed to woo over this time, it was not hard to guess who she was: Edelgard Weiss. Still, the fact that she had followed Luca here surprised Javier. He had thought he would never cross paths with Edelgard again. Who knew she would come to him herself this time?While he was pondering this, the door to his office creaked open, revealing Jade, who strode right in. “Honey, your darling Edie has come to see you! Oh, Luca’s here too.”That night in Xerxes Village, when Javier and Edelgard had had sex accidentally, was not something Jade had missed, which was why Javier could taste the jealousy dripping from the corner of her lips even if he did not look for it.He stepped forward and pulled Jade—black, form-fitting und
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 157 You Think You’re Some Bigshot?
Word from Edelgard was that she was somehow getting negative coverage for no apparent reason. She felt that she was being targeted by a rather incessant hater, as the internet was filled with all kinds of anti-Edelgard sentiments. A lot of the hate and slander was just senseless, but it was pervasive enough that she was worried it might cause some trouble at the meet-n-greet.Jade was confident in their ability to tackle this. “Don’t worry about this. We won’t let anything like that happen. We’ve hosted similar events before in the past, so we know enough to focus on security and all other aspects. We’ll also exercise tight control over what kind of media will be present. In particular, all private citizen media will be banned from attending the event.”Hearing Jade explicitly singling out private citizen media was a relief. It was exactly what Edelgard had been thinking. Private citizen media had the tendency to be unregulated and without standards despite enjoying a massive followi
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 158 Quite the Ego There, Pal
Thorin’s brazen putdown made Luca’s mien change.Luca’s father had always looked down on the “gang” Thorin was currently bragging and being so smug about. His old man had always thought they were below his standards. And then there was Javier, who had dismissed Luca’s father because high and mighty Mr. Pangani was way below Javier’s pedigree!Now, under a hierarchy like this, Thorin was sneering at Javier as though he was his superior?! How insane could this guy get?At this rate, he might as well strip himself naked before prowling around seedy streets to match the degree of his insanity!Luca opened his mouth, ready to shoot Thorin down, but Javier put his hand up and stopped him.The lack of opposition from Luca emboldened Thorin even more, and his rant became more and more uninhibited. “Listen, beautiful. A gorgeous sweetheart like yourself gotta make herself known in the entertainment industry, babe. You deserve to be standing in the spotlight, being showered by millions of c
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 159 Trouble at the Meet-n-Greet
Two days had passed since the Thorin Gerard incident. Things had been going swimmingly, and the company was bustling with activity as they planned and prepared for Edelgard’s meet-n-greet. Jade also found herself devoting a lot of her time and effort to make it a success.If she were to personally rank her relationship with the actress, she would have given it a “Not Bad” rating. Of course, she was sure their friendship would have improved even more if it weren’t for the annoyingly intimate “misunderstanding” between Edelgard and Javier, which was hovering above them.Meanwhile, Luca felt both grateful and slightly proud for averting a cataclysm for Thorin’s sake. Javier appeared to have moved past the imbroglio since then, because if the man had really wanted to, he would have used his money and connections to destroy the Gerard Family by now. The lack of bad news proved that Javier had really let it slide.He would remember this, he decided. He would remember this moment of mercy
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 160 You Don’t Get It
The rumors and overt slander had finally broken kind-hearted Edelgard’s back.She had gone missing.Nobody had any idea where she might be. Even Luca, who followed her around with the clingy nature of a puppy, had failed to track her down. It was why he’d ended up calling Javier for help. Javier was essentially the baron of the city and had a connection network way more extensive than his own.After hearing about the predicament, Javier promised he would help out and immediately called Sam. “Mobilize your underlings and locate Edelgard Weiss at once. You can find her picture online yourself.” He commanded him severely, omitting even the barest minimum of courtesy. “I don’t care what kind of tactics you use. I want her found before midnight. Also, do not frighten her once your men find her. Contact me immediately.”Sam dared not waste any more seconds. As soon as the call ended, he began sending out commands to his people before driving his car over and joining the search himself. T
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 161 Comparing Infamy and Fame
Who knew if it was the natural process of sobering up or the improved blood circulation from “exercising” that made the alcohol dissipate? Still, Edelgard was no longer intoxicated when things came to an end.She still felt quite groggy, but her thoughts had cleared up, and she was embarrassed when she realized that the same thing had happened with Javier again. She felt shyer when she recalled that she had been the one to initiate the entire thing.Burying her head on Javier’s chest, Edelgard was too mortified to lift her head up. She was too ashamed to look at Javier. Despite her shame, the hand that was stroking her hair made her feel warm and loved. It felt like Javier had given her courage, as she looked up with a blushing face.“Javier, I—I got drunk, so what happened tonight w-was a m-misunderstanding…”Forcing the words out of her lips, Edelgard ducked her head down again, too shy to keep staring at Javier’s charming eyes.“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. We’re both
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 162 Stinking Reputation
”I’m the chief of Xerxes Village, Thomas Bloom. I heard that you guys are accusing Edelgard. As an old veteran who’s joined the army and fought in wars, I’m very disappointed and sad about everyone’s wrongful accusations.“Edelgard comes to our village every year to teach voluntarily, making monetary and non-monetary donations. She’s sponsored a few university students from our village, as well as numerous ill villagers who needed treatment. It’s also her donations that have allowed us to have a water supply in the village.“On what grounds are all of you accusing Edelgard and calling her a traitor of Yuzuia? Are we, the villagers of Xerxes, Yuzueans?”Thomas berated everyone angrily in the video, letting a few curses slip as he spoke. When his anger crested, he even fished out a cigarette pack with worn-out corners and pulled out a roll-up cigarette to smoke. No one knew if it was due to the smoke or the rage caused by the netizens, but his eyes were moist.“I held a gun and chase
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 163 Will You Miss Her?
Renee’s notoriety had completely ruined her. Any show that had employed her stopped working with her, while the ones that were already filmed edited her part out.In comparison, Edelgard’s fame shot through the roof. She had been less popular as an actress but was now rapidly rising in popularity due to this incident and she grew even more famous than young actresses with a large fan base. More importantly, she had decent acting skills.The internet was flooded with compliments about her. Veterans actors and famous directors posted to sing her praises, while some official accounts reposted and commented on her kind deeds. Instantly, Edelgard became an example for actors everywhere and experienced incredible honor.The next night, she booked a whole hotel floor of a banquet hall to host Javier, Jade, and everyone else in Reivaj Group.“Thank you, everyone. Thank you for not abandoning me during my hardest time and for the effort you guys have made to help drag me out of the dirt. Th
