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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 164 Here Comes the Old Fox
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and half a month flew by just like that.Within two weeks, Reivaj Group went from being unknown to becoming a household name. The beautiful boss, Jade Odell, the ace management head, Chad Floyd McCool, and the finance tycoon, Mary Jane Gould, became famous along with Reivaj Group, while Javier remained an unknown boss.Thanks to his manipulation, no one knew his real identity. Only a few people knew about his existence. This half a month had made Edelgard a real celebrity as well. She hogged the very top of popularity with no competition, and even the bureaucracy department hired her for a movie that was based on her voluntary teaching time in Xerxes Village.Basically, everything was developing and progressing positively. Things were going great.Javier did not have to worry about work anymore during this period of time, as he went to work leisurely each day to flirt with Jade, then took full advantage of her when they went home after work. Th
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 165 She’s a Decent Girl
Zephiel and Jade chatted a lot in the office. It was regular small talk without much meaning or reasoning. At least Javier did not notice anything important. However, after Jade left, Zephiel told him while sipping on his coffee, “She’s a decent girl.”Javier had no idea how Zephiel could tell. Perhaps it was true that one saw the truth in the most mundane matters. Maybe he was not as trained now, so he could not understand what the old fox thought and how he looked at things.Zephiel continued to speak. “Your instinct…has always been decent. Selena is a great girl too, so stop resenting her. Different environments result in different people, that’s it.”Putting the cup down, Zephiel reminisced.“I couldn’t figure this out back then, didn’t understand why people would change because of money. I asked your great-grandfather after that, and he replied with another question. He asked if I’d surrender if we were attacked by old enemies.“Of course I wouldn’t. I answered him without ev
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 166 Both Shameless and Despicable
Zephiel was slightly shocked by Mackenzie’s compliments.“Looks like this Jade woman is a pretty decent woman for you to even say something nice on her behalf.”Mackenzie shook his head. “I wasn’t saying something nice on her behalf. I really did send someone to look into her. She’s a competent woman who knows when she should go on the offensive and when she should stand back. Also, she understands that following Javier’s instructions would be in her best interest and she quietly supports him from behind. Out of all the people I’ve met, she’s very much like my grandmother, both forgiving and understanding. However, Jade’s probably got a much better life than her. Zephiel heaved a long sigh when he heard MacKenzie mention his grandmother. “Marilyn…really didn’t have her life cut out for her. Back when she was in Sammius, she would look through photos every day. Although she never once mentioned it, it was obvious that she was waiting for someone. But until the day she died, she ne
