The Ace at the Apex のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Although Javier would usually not be bothered by such things, the woman was insistent on picking a fight.Standing at the door, Javier was quiet for a bit before he looked up at the roof.“All right, that’s it. Stop looking around. What the f*ck are you looking at anyway? No matter how much you look, it’s my house. Get the hell out of here!”Neve’s voice rang out from behind Javier, but he ignored her. He was not longing for the house. He was just wondering how long it had been since he had acted, for lack of better words, like an upstart. He was 24 this year; no longer young and wild. By right, it would not be appropriate for him to behave so arrogantly. But if he did not seize the last bits of his youth and go wild, it would be even harder to do so when he grew older.“Sure. If you want to play, I’ll play,” Javier said as he pulled out his palladium Messer card and handed it to the salesman. “470 thousand dollars for the house. I’ll take it.”He then looked at Neve. “Come on,

When Javier bought his new place, he moved in and did not stay with Jade anymore. Afraid that he would misunderstand why she had wanted him to move out, Jade repeatedly explained to him that she was not burning bridges.Catherine on the other hand was quite reluctant to have Javier leave because he had helped her out in secret several times while he had been around. Catherine came from a rural mountain area and had relatively more impoverished relatives. She was the only city dweller—having married into a wealthy family and ended up becoming a rich housewife. That was why everyone came to her for help.But despite her seemingly glorious status, The Odells treated her worse than a dog, so she was hardly much help. Things were different while Javier was staying with them. Anyone who came to Catherine for help, whether it was big or small, Javier was able to take care of them all. It made Catherine feel good. And her impression of the man only grew better.After having one last meal

Worried that even the smallest of moves would alert Matthew, Zayn had not made any prior planning. All he had in mind was swallowing Odello Corp. in one go.It came as a shock then when Matthew snatched away the thick cut of meat that was already in his mouth and ready to be consumed within just one night.This caused Neve to be brutally beaten using the slippers this morning.“I’m helping you guys with everything I have and even when my family asked me to gobble up your company when I had the chance, I didn’t because of you. And this is how you all treat me? Look at me as a fraud and trample all over my kindness?!”Zayn’s pressing questions made Neve speechless. She felt wronged as she did not know what happened. After leaving Zayn, she went to find Matthew.“Daddy, why did you pull back the sales and funds to Odelle Corp. again? Have you gone stupid?”Instead of getting furious at Neve’s questioning, Matthew looked rather triumphant.“Me? Stupid? Your daddy is anything but stu

Speeding down the streets, Jade finally arrived at Neve’s place. It was not like she did not question why John was here, but Neve explained that the old man did not want to spend his last moments in a hospital as it was too cold and gloomy.Jade believed the offered explanation. But when she entered the home, she realized that there was no Neve or John in the house. The only person there was Zayn who was sitting in the living room. It then dawned on her that she had been decided by an Odell again.They had lied to her over and over and used her love for her family against her repeatedly. Disappointment flooded her.As Jade turned to open the door and leave, Zayn rushed up to stop her.“Jade, don’t worry. I don’t mean any harm. I just want to talk.”As he blocked the doorway, Zayn put up both his hands like he was surrendering. He was trying to show her that he was harmless and give her confirmation that he did not mean ill. He then told her, “I already know what the Odells did to

From a certain viewpoint, Matthew was a decisive person. He managed to transfer 70% of the corporation’s subsidiaries to Zayn within two days due to the blind trust that John had for him.Zayn had learned his lesson. He immediately chomped down on every piece of meat he was fed.Matthew was still transferring the businesses with all his efforts, afraid that John would find out if he moved too slow. John found out anyway when he came to check on the accounts that afternoon. Now that the majority of the subsidiaries had been sold, they should have a significant amount.Lo and behold, the account was empty! Not a single cent from the sale of their subsidiary businesses had been banked in.John summoned Matthew to his office immediately to ask about it. When Matthew realized that he could no longer hide it, he told his father the truth, adding at the end, “Dad, don’t worry. Zayn said that he’ll give the companies back to us after this passes. I’ll start a new Odello Corp. by then and t
