All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Dunham Group was more than Geoffrey’s private property—it belonged to the family. And now, after being two-time colossal suckers, it surprised no one that the Dunhams were incensed to a fever pitch. When the zircon mine scandal was pulled from under the rug, the entire family basically unsheathed their fingers and launched an interrogation against Geoffrey and his son.Their main goal, apparently, was a demand to know if Geoffrey was “mentally-challenged” and whether he had passed that trait down to Zayn. The family meeting held that night basically eviscerated Zayn and Geoffrey, sending them to hell and back.Then, for a few days, Dunham Group was basically enervated. Their initial intention had been to sell those zircon ores, but since someone had dumped a surfeit amount in the market, their price had been lowered to 200,000 dollars, which was a far cry from the original 240,000 dollars the family had asked for more than 300 tonnes of ore.It would have been manageable if that was

The result had completely changed Zayn’s expectations. He left Reivaj, feeling bemused, without any idea why that had happened.“Jade’s got a few screws loose, doesn’t she?” Zayn murmured to himself. It seemed like the only plausible explanation.He made his way to the parking lot, but just as he was about to yank his car door open, he felt a force engulf his nose. Panicked strength broke out of him, yet his struggle had no effect.That was when a strange smell invaded his nose and robbed him of his senses. Zayn’s strength was pilfered from his limbs, leaving them enervated before Herschel dragged a limp, powerless Zayn into the car.When Zayn came back to his senses, there was a new weight pushing against him from above. He snapped his eyes open and squealed in terror before making a mad dash for his life.It took more than 10m before the naked young man could make out the…monstrous thing that was on him. It was a single leg—a human leg thick enough to be confused with a pillar.

Javier had gone straight to the airport after taking care of the hospital affair. He had no plans to stay in Medb any longer.While waiting to board, he decided to lie down for a bit before realizing the seat next to him was occupied by a young woman in a black cap. The large pair of shades and mask covering the rest of her face complemented her getup. She was wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a print of Princess Peach paired with denim shorts.Judging by her fashion sense alone, she seemed to be a beautiful young thing. Javier could not understand why she would cover herself up this tightly on a hot day.He thought about it for a while and realized why. While the girl cast a side-glance at him, her profile reminded Javier of a celebrity. Specifically, a celebrity who used to be all the rave before she’d suddenly been banished from the scene—Edelgard Weiss.The more he considered her overall features, the more her appearance matched the celebrity’s.He took out his phone

It had never once crossed Javier’s mind that he would meet Edelgard in Xerxes Village when they had just met that one time.What he found odd was that Edelgard had a bamboo basket filled with grass on her back. Judging by the scythe she was holding, she was obviously the one putting the grass in the basket.Javier was surprised and he suspected that this person was not actually Edelgard but a doppelganger. Nevertheless, Jade asked at the same time, “Isn’t that film star Edelgard Weiss?”Javier nodded in surprise. “I think so. I met her in the capital airport previously and even chatted with her. She looks like she’s wearing the same clothes as when I saw her too, but why is she holding a bamboo basket and cutting grass?”“You two have…met?”Javier broke out of his trance when he heard Jade’s pointed question and asked with a chortle, “Why, are you jealous?”“No.” Jade shook her head.Javier did not say anything but rolled down the car window as he drove by Edelgard’s side.Befo

Javier finished his lunch under Luca’s hostile gaze and went around the village with Jade leading the way. Edelgard was not with them because she had to teach the students, while Luca obviously followed her. While Javier and Jade were walking around, Jade said, “I think Edelgard and Luca have something pretty good going on. It doesn’t seem like Luca’s in a one-sided relationship right now. Judging by their conversation, I believe Edelgard was the one who told Luca where she was of her own accord.”Javier chuckled. “Are you trying to tell me I shouldn’t miss her?”Jade rolled her eyes. “What are you talking about? You’re free to miss whoever you like. What I’m trying to say is that Edelgard’s a pretty nice woman, so you shouldn’t lay your hands on Luca no matter how much of a jerk he is. You should try to tolerate him on Edelgard’s account.“Didn’t you see how heartbroken Edelgard was when you slammed his head against the table just now?”Javier understood what she was trying to
