Zayn made two more calls after that, but Jade spurned all of them. She was just about to shut her phone off to keep him away when she saw a new message from the man. His words seemed to be dripping with concern.‘Reject me all you want, but do you really want to see your grandpa’s life’s work ruined at the hands of incompetence personified?’It was a hit below the belt that plunged itself deep into Jade’s chest, right where it hurt the most.She had grown up with Grandpa since she was just a child, so the depth of their emotional bond could not be underestimated. It hurt her to see Odello Corp., the very thing her grandfather had devoted his soul to, be torn down to ruins at the hands of her useless uncle.That was why she had to do it. She had to become the leader of Drakon Real Estate.“—which doesn’t change a thing! Just because I’ve assumed leadership, it doesn’t mean I’m beholden to him. If he thinks he can make me marry him, well, he’s got a better chance of dreaming about i
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 57 On What Grounds Do We Have To Steal Other People’s Jobs?!
Matthew had no idea what kind of thoughts were swimming inside Herschel’s head, and neither did Jade. The only one who did, of course, was Javier, and he was naturally not going to let him commit murder. Matthew was just too pathetic and was such a small fry that killing him would attract way too much fame and attention than the maggot really deserved.He shot Herschel a glance, and the man immediately bent to pick up a wooden stick before returning to his car, acting as though he was just trying to find the perfect tool to scratch out the little pebbles lodged in the car tires. This effectively removed all the attention from him, and Matthew returned to the previous topic straight away.“Sorry but not sorry, bud. Odello Corp. doesn’t make a habit of letting outsiders in for no reason. Get off the property.”“But he’s not an outsider. He’s the driver I just hired,” Jade rebutted. “The driver Drakon Real Estate had arranged for me doesn’t give me a sense of security so I hired my own
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 58 Done Laughing? Good. Shut the F*ck Up.
Javier drove Jade to Sky Loft’s local branch office in the afternoon. Standing before its main entrance, Jade took a deep breath, braced herself for inevitable failure, and stepped inside like a soldier given an insurmountable mission.She hardly had the chance to introduce herself as Drakon Real Estate’s boss, yet Sky Loft instantly treated her arrival with utmost warmth and hospitality. “Welcome, Ms. Odell! Good to have you here! Our GM just arrived and is attending to some of our projects at the moment, so please make yourself comfortable. The executive meeting will be over shortly. Until then, have some coffee or tea!”Jade thanked the friendly employee and dropped down on the couch to wait. Ten minutes later, she saw Sky Loft’s general manager hurrying toward her and greeting her. “Ms. Odell, right? Pleased to make your acquaintance! I’m the general manager of Sky Loft, Will Schumer. Welcome!”Jade was caught off-guard by how effusive he was. More than that, she found it curiou
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 59 Let Me Tell You Some Good News
Matthew and Neve had mistaken the paper in Jade’s hands for the notice from the board of directors the latter had passed to Jade earlier this morning. To them, the fact that it was an A4-size paper as well had made it impossible to guess its contents.Jade’s retort, however, smothered their laughter instantaneously. Startled, Neve snapped out of her shock and said curiously, “No way. That can’t be…dare I say it? It’s…your resignation, right?!”Then, an ear-splitting guffaw of even greater intensity filled the room. It was shrill enough that even those outside of Matthew’s office could hear it.Jade considered the chortling duo impassively. God knows which one of them was more insane than the other. She marched ahead, closing the distance between her and Matthew before shoving the agreement into his chest.“Read it yourself. Get your daughter to use a dictionary if some of the words are too complicated for you two,” she rasped. “Morons.”She turned on her heel and stormed out of th

She sounded placid enough, but the smug glint in Neve’s eyes was unmistakable.This piece of “great news” immediately ignited Jade’s rage. “How low can you disgusting pr*cks stoop, Neve?! I was the one who secured this deal! You’re not even coveting it in the shadows—no, you’re just gonna rob me in plain sight! You two think that just because Grandpa’s sick, your daddy can rule the family business however his despotic *ss feels like, don’t you? That’s why you’re acting like you can do whatever you want!”The more livid Jade was, the more satisfied Neve felt.“Oh, it’s so embarrassing just how right you are. Of course, we’re taking this chance to squash you under our boots. And you’re hardly the end of it. We’re gonna teach your mom a lesson too. Hell, we just wanna screw you guys over so hard that the only way you could survive is by begging for charity on the streets!“Oh, right! Almost forgot. To be frank, I didn’t actually need to come here to tell you this. So why did I? Silly
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 61 The Kind, Loving Uncle Is Back
In Odello Corp.’s meeting room, Matthew had called an emergency meeting, summoning the corporation’s executives. He announced the good news of the partnership between Drakon Real Estate, a company under Odello Corp, and Sky Loft.“Thanks to Ms. Neve Odell’s persistent efforts, she finally managed to score Sky Loft’s sales agency authorization!“What’s this? It’s a miracle! Sky Loft has its own sales company, but it’s authorizing Drakon to sell its property. What is this if not a miracle? This is the first miracle that Ms. Neve Odell has worked after entering Odello Corp. based on her own capabilities. We should—”Matthew was about to encourage the occupants in the room to learn from Neve when the latter called him. Matthew thought that she must have just signed the agreement, so he answered the call and put it on speaker with the intention to boast.“Hello, Ms. Neve. You—”“Daddy, it’s true that Jade got the sales. The agreement is also real, but they shredded it when I came for t
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 62 The Price of Having a Foul Mouth
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 63 Things Go Wrong for a Reason
Jade went to Odello’s headquarters after leaving Sky Loft. Holding the agreement in her hands, she stepped into Matthew’s office and slammed it onto his desk.She then turned to Neve, who was seated on the couch with one side of her face swollen.“Vice GM Odell, I’m here with another agreement. Do you want to show your extraordinary competence?”Gripping the ice she was using to cool her burning cheek, Neve wanted so much to crash it against Jade’s head.Matthew quickly spoke up with a chortle, “Nothing like that. I told you, it was a misunderstanding. Jade, don’t mind this. The deal with Sky Loft is all yours, so you’ll handle it. No one else, just you!”Taking a glance at Matthew, who was bowing down to her, and Neve, who was inwardly fuming nearby, Jade giggled and turned to leave with as much flair as she could, something she had not dared even thought of doing in the past.After Jade left, Neve threw the ice she was holding on the floor.“Look at how much that b*tch is gloa
