The Hero

Chapter 45 The Promise is Done

Quarterly offers! It used to look like a Spectacular Mountain of Jade. An incredible benchmark, yes, but also something he believes can be scaled. Then one by one business difficulties join the family members who are trying their best to frustrate her, and suddenly, Jade finds herself facing grueling challenges to achieve her goals.

But that has changed since Javier Kersey. Even the most insurmountable opportunity collapsed before him, like a famous army helpless before the power of a superhero! And now, even without long-term preparation, he had managed to push her to fulfill the deal!

Jade's fair and tender hands flipped through the contract detailing the change in Midnoon Tires' holdings, they trembled beyond his will. He was surprised that Javier managed to acquire their rival company at a discount of 780 thousand dollars. She is overjoyed that she has managed to hold back the end of the bargain, freeing her from the nightmare of a political marriage.

But above all, his emotions turned into a bloated ball of gratitude—he was grateful for Javier's incredible selfless help.

“Very few people in my family are willing to help me because my grandfather's illness left him bedridden permanently. The only other people who cared enough to reach out to me were the elders in our family. Even so, their help is inconsistent and selective. They only did that to honor my father's soul…

“I am very alone. So helpless. But you are the only one who has helped me without hesitation at every step and every step......thank you, Javier! Just.. thank you.”

With each passing word, his voice became calm and gentle. However, the sincerity of her gratitude filled her stuttering and muffled voice as tears began to cover her large eyes. He did not know how else to express his boundless gratitude; saying thank you, over and over again, was the only way he knew how.

Javier gave him some tissue. “Hey now, don't cry,” murmured, the tenderness in her voice reflects her own voice, “Now is not the time to think of grandiose things like this, right? Come on, it's time to get ready for the monthly meeting! Since I'm not one of you Odells, I'm barred from attending to this matter and helping you from the side. You have to do it yourself, Jade.”

The young lady wiped her tears and nodded solemnly. “You're sure I'll do it. I will... I will show Matthew my achievements... and wipe the floor with his ass!”.

Jade had never said anything so outrageous before, but for God's sake, no other word had ever made her feel so good before!

After giving Jade some more instructions, Javier headed to Mae's office. Moments later, Mae, threatened by Mary Jane, sends Matthew a private message. (Beacon Tires' money is in turmoil, Mr. Odell. Don't worry, it will be affected because we are talking.)

Matthew was pleased with the news. Overjoyed, he couldn't help but think about how Jade's decision to oppose him was a suicide.

“I'll have fun humiliating that little chicken tonight! His arrogance requires an appropriate punishment."

After ordering Mae to send false financial statements to trick the man, Javier returned to his office and called Clement.

His latest subordinate has been told to report to Matthew in two hours to deliver the same hoax about the demise of Ban Beacon as well as Ban Midnoon seemingly recovering from his crisis.

Clement no longer needed to convince. This scam was his best chance to repeat it, so he picked it up without hesitation a millisecond.

With everything, all Javier has to do is sit back and wait for the night. The prospect of Jade humiliating Matthew to the fullest is fascinating!

The two had dinner together before Jade went to the meeting place tonight. Meanwhile, Javier prepares to rest at home and wait for the good news and epic story to come. He drove his car down the road to the house.

Suddenly, a series of unknown numbers contacted him. Javier answered him, and a distinctive and worn old voice, exclaimed, “Master. Kersey, good night. I'm John Odell. And I want to meet you in person.”

John Odell's. Jade's grandfather and Matthew's father. Chairman Odello Corp. But.. isn't Mr. John in the hospital right now? Why would he want to see Javier in particular?

Monthly meeting went well.

Matthew listens to monthly income reports from leaders who lead the family's key industries. He gave some run-of-the-mill instructions on which parts needed to be developed, developed and developed after their report, before eagerly launching the anti-Jade scolding he wanted to do since the meeting began.

"As we all know, Odello Corp. has some problems, we have to say, underperforming subdivisions that do nothing but take valuable resources and money. These underachievers enthusiastically put on their bloodline and surname as if it was a free pass to do whatever they like, ”he started. “For them, the growth of our family business is nothing more than a small problem. Wasting resources? That doesn't mean anything to them!”

He continued his speech. “How I see it, this parasitic entity is like a tumor for our family.

Everyone understands who the euphemisms are being accused of Beacon Tires are. Matthew's sycophants, in a gesture, jumped to their feet, lending their voices to dispel the "tumors" he had cursed.

In all her excitement, Jade made herself comfortable in a corner of the meeting room, cynically admiring the man and his comrades, no matter how rude they were. He waited for the shame to pass before standing up.

"It's fun to try to cover it up, but obviously you point a finger at the Beacon Ban," he snapped back.

“We are a tumor for you, huh? You accuse us of wasting and robbing you of your precious resources. Do you have any evidence to support it?"

Matthew scoffed and scoffed. "Evidence? What about your company's declining sales? Is 'proof' enough? But, of course, seeing is believing, right? I prefer to show things in good old black-and-white. So if 'evidence' is what you're looking for, then 'evidence' is what all of us, including the jury, will get! Let's see if Beacon Tires is worth living after today!”

Matthew waved, and his secretary quickly handed over a stack of documents to the audience. As their attention focused on the documents, he continued, “This. Report your company's sales after one month. I invite you all to see and admire his ingenuity. It's just mediocre! If this company should be proof of your competence, then congratulations! You have proved beyond doubt that you have absolutely no competence!”

The directors quickly flipped through the reports. The numbers were just as Matthew had promised; one could easily predict a big failure like this would go broke at any moment now.

Matthew is proud and happy with himself. Tonight is the night she squeezes this shitty girl into oblivion. He doesn't have to worry about quarterly deals anymore.

To his surprise, Jade glanced at the figure and snorted.

Throwing away the report, he asked, "Oh my God, where did you get this report, Mr Odell?"

“Not your business, girl. I have my resources. You have to focus on acknowledging the truth. That's the most you can do!” Matthew answers.

Her uncontrollable pride sparked anger within Jade. Angrily, he snapped, “Really? Sure was! If you really want the truth, then who should I not obey, dear uncle? I'll show you what it really is! ”

With the statement interrupted, Jade pulled out her phone and called someone to come in.

The door of the conference room opened, revealing Mae Kingsley who was staring at Matthew before lowering her head.

Matthew was confused to see it. He doesn't understand why he's here.

The woman began to speak. He tells her everything from how Matthew directed her to join Beacon Tires, how he turned her into a mole rat, to the cunning schemes she devised, and how "A very clever Miss Odell" knowing his actions almost immediately. And finally, how did he become part of the Beacon Tires counterattack.

At the end of Mae's confession, Jade looked coldly at the accused man.

“The bastards you call the truth? That'sme. I had Mae make a false report to lure you in. That's truth. Mae Kingsley in all this? That's the truth too. The brother of my late father who devised a plan to force his grieving nephew into a political marriage? That's the truth too! Everybody!" he's very venomous. “Don't stop thinking about how disrespectful and despicable your tactics and plans are against me, Matthew! Aren't you ashamed?!”

Matthew's face turned into a mask of contempt. His backdoor actions have been revealed. He was also publicly criticised for it. Still, a man must deny hell and come back even when he is on his last legs, and that is what he does.

“All for your own well-being and the collective good of the family! Face it, you can't meet your quarterly deal!”

Jade sneered. "How are you sure I can't, huh?"

"If you can fulfill your purpose," Matthew growled with definite fury, "Then I will eat this report here, right now!"
