The Ace at the Apex Chapter 43 Say Goodbye To Being A Lewinsky!
Waking up to all of her old customers and their contracts pouring back in made Jade Odell quite ecstatic. She was in a good mood, especially after she arrived at her office to find Dwayne Lewis standing there with a smile that could only be a prelude to flattery.“Ms. Odell, just the brilliant mind I’ve been dying to see! Finally, I've been waiting for you!”Jade scoffed. “For what? Waiting to get Mr. Kersey so drunk that you can finally harass me uninterrupted?”Her barb cut deeply enough to instantly make Dwayne’s face wrinkle in embarrassment. “Oh god, no! That was a misunderstanding, Ms. Odell! A blunder on my part! Don’t take it seriously, Ms. Odell…”Dwayne did not stop there. His flattery and apologies were incessant as he followed Jade into her office. Anything and everything he had done before today, be it trivial or no, had an apology of its own. The goal was to soften Jade up and appeal to her angels, hoping that she would eventually supply tires for his cars once again…
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 44 Such Tactical Prowess! Such Majestic Air!
Javier had not cared enough to lace his words with the most basic of courtesies. In fact, he was provocative and disrespectful, which only fanned the flames in Clement even more.Unfortunately, right now, he was hardly in the position to negotiate nor continue his previous hissy fit. As Javier had so succinctly pointed out, tantrums were not going to fix the pickle he was in.“Fine.” It was all he could say by this point. “How much are you willing to fork out to acquire my company?”Javier made a whole theater production of counting with his fingers before proclaiming, “About 780 thousand dollars.”“You said what now?!” Clement could not believe his ears. It took Javier repeating himself to convince the former that he had not misheard his quotation, and send him into a flying fit.“Son of a b*tch! Are you f**king kidding me? My company’s fixed assets make up to at least 4.7 million dollars, dumb*ss! And now you’re buying a company worth that much with that paltry 780k dollars?!”
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 45 Promises Made, Promises Kept—the Quarterly Deal
The quarterly deal!This used to look like Mount Spectacular to Jade. A spectacular benchmark, yes, but also something she believed she could scale. Then a battalion of business difficulties joined forces with family members trying their damndest to frustrate her, and suddenly, Jade found herself facing grueling odds to meet her goal.However, all of that changed since Javier Kersey appeared. Even the most insurmountable of odds crumbled before him, like a famous landmark helpless before the might of a superhero! And now, even without any long-term preparation, he managed to push her into fulfilling the deal!As Jade’s fair, delicate hands flipped through the contract detailing the change to the ownership of Midnoon Tires, they trembled against her wishes. She was astounded that Javier managed to acquire their rival company at a slashed price of 780 thousand dollars. She was ecstatic that she had managed to hold up the end of her deal, thus freeing her from the nightmare of a politi
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 46 Should You Be Holding It in Your Hand?
Matthew was exceptionally confident that Jade would not be able to fulfill the quarterly deal they had.Clement had called him earlier in the afternoon and said that production had recovered while the controversy surrounding Midnoon Tires had also died down. Midnoon Tires had also reacquired most of the orders that had flocked to Beacon Tires when the scandal broke out.In Clement’s words, Beacon Tires was only a step away from bankruptcy! That was why Matthew dared be so sure.While those in the meeting shifted their gazes toward Jade, the lady was calm and composed as she retrieved photocopies of a report from her workbag. She tossed them on top of the meeting table and everyone picked up a copy. Everyone got a copy except Matthew.When they saw the photocopied reports, they gaped. The Matthew’s lackeys who had been hollering shut their mouths then. This made Matthew curious. Snatching one from his underlings to see for himself, he was shocked at what he read and stood frozen lik
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 47 The Price for Being Defiant
And lo and behold, before everyone’s eyes, Matthew crammed the fake report into his mouth. He could not have backed out even if he wanted to. As Jade said, he had made that declaration in front of so many people and could not lose his credibility as the vice general manager of the corporation.As he chewed, his eyes burned with a rage that looked like they could spew out and burn Jade alive. As an authority figure within the corporation, forcing him to eat the fake report was akin to having his face slapped. This infuriated Matthew.After swallowing the paper, Matthew glared daggers at Jade before turning around and storming out. He was too humiliated to stay any longer.When the monthly meeting had been wrapped up, Jade was in a great mood. The first thing she did going back to her car was to pull out her phone to call Javier and share the good news with him.Surprisingly, she could not reach his phone. The automated operator said that the phone was turned off. This put Jade on ed
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 48 Quiet but Deadly
As he observed the circle of men that surrounded him, Javier did not say a word. Instead, he proceeded to empty his pockets, tossing his items into his car. He was not even bothered to ask who had sent them. He could guess as much from Matthew’s barks earlier this morning.The bald guy snorted at Javier’s actions. “Don’t worry. We’re only cutting your ear off. We won’t take your things.”“You think too much. I’m just afraid that I have to waste more time looking for my stuff if I lose them while taking care of you guys.”Javier’s reply stunned the baldy for a few moments. He then guffawed and looked back at Javier like he was an idiot. “You? You think you can beat all of us?”“I, Sam Langdon, have spent years in the underworld. And you’re the first to ever amuse me even before I do anything to you. That’s pretty nice. To reward you, I’ll cut both your ears off so you maintain your symmetry. No need to thank me. I—”Sam was still speaking when Javier threw a fast punch. The baldy b
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 49 What a Bully
Matthew was taking care of Kendrick in the hospital and telling his son about how Jade had completed the quarterly deal. Kendrick had yet to find out that he would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life, thus was unbothered and unruffled that he had the time to think about making others suffer.“Since Jade has completed the deal, we don’t have to target her business dealing from now on—”Kendrick was speaking when Matthew cut him off. “What do you mean we don’t have to? Of course, we have to. It's necessary that we do so!“What do Jade and her mother depend on for their livelihood currently? Beacon Tires, no doubt.“Think about it. If they don’t have Beacon Tires, how will the two of them survive?”Realization struck Kendrick. “I understand what you mean now. We will be taking away their livelihood when we bring down Beacon Tires. When they’re unable to survive and we Odells don’t provide them with any support, Jade can only send herself to the Dunhams!”Matthew wore a vict
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 50 The Reassurance He Brings
Matthew knew nothing about finances. Similarly, he did not understand how Odello Corp. was being targeted financially when the company was not even listed. The deputy finance director explained everything to him, but it all sounded like a foreign language to Matthew. He just could not be bothered to digest it.“You’re the expert here. I’ll leave this to you. I’ll trust whatever you suggest!”The deputy finance director was quite moved. “I won’t let you down, Mr. Odell!”After the vow, the deputy finance director suggested that Matthew pull back all the corporation’s funds in order to face a possible incoming and bigger finance attack.Matthew sent out the order at once to direct back all the funds that could possibly be pulled back. His secretary asked softly from the side, “Mr. Odell, those stockpiles of raw materials for tires, they make up quite a substantial amount.”On one hand, it was the life and death of Odello Corp. On the other hand, it was tearing Beacon Tires apart. Al
