Jerry's face froze with a flicker of disbelief crossing his features.

"What are you talking about, loser? I got the information directly from my uncle."

"Well, your uncle must have missed the latest update," Dave replied calmly.

Jerry burst into laughter as he turned to Dave with a sneer.

"You know what, fool, it's pretty bold of you to claim the banquet is cancelled. Do you even know who Carl Mullen is?"

He laughed once again with a condescending tone lacing his words.

"Someone like you probably doesn't even know what a banquet is, let alone anything about its status."

Dave remained composed, unfazed by Jerry's mockery.

He took another sip of his drink and met Jerry's gaze steadily, silently enjoying Jerry's naive pride.

"You shouldn't envy my connections and background, jerk. It's not something someone like you could ever understand," Jerry continued.

"But, if you really want to attend the banquet, I suppose I could reluctantly take you along.

You know, just to bro

    Almost immediately, the call ended. Everyone's gazes shifted to Dave, surprised at his prediction. Most of them involuntarily speculated that Dave might be a big shot who was only disguising as a commoner. Otherwise, it made no sense how he could assert so confidently that there was no banquet that evening. Ava, who had initially dismissed Dave's claims, now found herself in a swirl of conflicting emotions. How was Dave informed that the banquet had been cancelled? She rationalized that he must have overheard the news from somewhere. Despite her belief, the regret of missing out on the banquet gnawed at her. It was a missed opportunity for her to enter the renowned chamber of commerce which was a crucial step for her family's business. Jerry, who had been so confident in his assertions, was now filled with uncertainty as he tried to process the unexpected turn of events. His confidence was shaken. Just then, Hannah broke the silence with a loud, mocking laugh.

    "Master," Carl's voice was urgent, "my daughter's condition has suddenly worsened. "I've made all the arrangements, and she is ready to receive treatment at any time. I can't wait to receive you, sir." "Don't worry, I'll be with you shortly," Dave assured, and then he turned to Ava. "I need to leave. It's urgent." Ava believed that Dave was leaving because he could no longer bear the mockery after being exposed for his supposed boasting. Therefore, she didn't stop him or ask why he was going. Although, they just obtained their marriage certificate that day, making them legally married, she still had no feelings for Dave! Even though they had done what a couple should do, but the reality of their relationship was far from romantic! As Dave moved towards the exit, Ava caught up with him. "Before you go, I need to make something clear." Dave turned to face her with a calm expression. "What is it, Ava?" "Don't dare come home tonight," she replied harshly. "

    However, Emily's expression quickly turned to one of disgust when she noticed Dave. He didn't look like a professional. He was simply dressed in a plain shirt and trousers, with no stethoscope or medical kit to signify that he was a medical practitioner. "Did this jerk miss his way or what?" She thought as she looked Dave up and down with her lip curling in disdain. "Who is this?" she finally demanded, turning to the butler. "And why did you allow him in?" The butler, trying to maintain his composure, replied, "Madam, this is Master Collins, the recommended doctor by Master Mullen..." Before the butler could finish the introduction, Emily interrupted with her voice dripping with scorn. "No doubt, you have made a mistake by bringing in the wrong person! How could you even mistake the real doctor for this... this piece of trash?" She waved her hand dismissively in Dave's direction. "Madam, I assure you, Master Collins is the doctor who Master Mullen invited. Maste

    When the ginger water was brought, Dave remained focused. He gently instructed one of the maids to undress Zane and make her sit naked on the bucket of water. However, Emily's face turned crimson with fury at Dave's instruction. Did her daughter have to be naked to sit on the bucket of water? No doubt, Dave had ulterior motives; a questionable intention towards Zane, and she couldn't continue to watch until things would get out of hand! "What did you just say?" Emily yelled with her voice echoing through the room. "You pervert! You want to take advantage of my daughter, don't you? Get out of here before I call the police!" Just while the butler was about to speak, the door swung open, and a young man in his late twenties entered. He was Zane's elder brother, Noah. He was accompanied by a dignified-looking man dressed in a crisp white coat. He had heard his mother's raised voice from the corridor, so he rushed in. “What’s going on here?” Noah demanded with his vo

    Without hesitation, Emily and everyone present in the room welcomed and greeted Dr Hayes with the utmost respect. His reputation as a healer preceded him, and they were hopeful that he would be able to save Zane. After thoroughly examining Zane, Dr. Hayes straightened up and cast a disdainful glance at Dave. "This method," he said, glancing briefly at Zane, "of making her undress and sit on hot ginger water for treatment, is nonsensical and clearly carries ill intentions!" Dave who was standing calmly in the corner, met Dr. Hayes' gaze without flinching. "She needs to soak in hot ginger water combined with acupuncture treatment to recover," he stated firmly. "If I wanted to pursue women, I wouldn't resort to such despicable means, nor would I take advantage of a sick patient." The room fell silent as Dave continued, "It's your dirty minds that see ill intentions where there are none," he said, looking pointedly at Noah and Dr. Hayes. Dr Hayes's face flushed red wit

    As soon as Zane collapsed, Emily was shocked while Noah couldn't contain his fury. Almost immediately, he grabbed Dr. Hayes by the neck. "What have you done to my sister?" he roared. "If you don't cure her right now, I'll break you into pieces!" Dr. Hayes, trembling in fear, stammered, "I-I don't know! This...this has never happened before! I truly don't know what to do. Plea...please, find another solution quickly..." At that moment, Emily, awakening from her shock, turned to Dave with a desperate plea in her eyes. She realized now that every one of Dave's predictions was correct. Everything had just played out as Dave had predicted! No doubt, Dave probably had the solution to her daughter's illness, so she turned to him. "Please, help my daughter. You were right about everything. I regret doubting you. Please, save her," Emily begged earnestly. Dave looking expressionless stepped forward towards Zane. After all, he was here because of her. If only for Carl's s

    As Dave skillfully needled Zane, he explained the situation to everyone in the room. "Zane was poisoned," he revealed calmly. "The discolouration of the water indicates the presence of toxins. But fortunately, the needling and herbal bath have expelled and neutralized the poison, preventing further harm." Emily, Noah, and everyone else present were taken aback. They all wondered who could have poisoned Zane. However, it was not the time for speculation or verification. Emily turned to Dave. "Thank you, young man," she said earnestly. "You've saved my daughter’s life. We can't thank you enough." Just then, Carl Mullen entered the room. The butler had just updated him on everything that had happened since Dave's arrival as he accompanied Carl into the house. Already having a knowledge of the situation, Carl looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on Noah. "Noah," Carl called sharply, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. "How dare you

    "The banquet isn't just a celebration; it's also to raise funds for the Jewel Orphanage and Welfare Institute, located in the slums of Nexroh. Aside that, we'll also be assisting my father in selecting qualified candidates who would become members of the Chamber of Commerce," Zane continued. Dave was indifferent about the invitation, until he remembered that Ava was seeking membership in the Chamber of Commerce. He considered how the event would be of benefit to her, so he accepted the invitation. "If I have time, I'll attend," Dave replied casually. However, as he prepared to leave, Dr. Hayes suddenly knelt before him. His face was a mask of deep remorse and desperation. "Mr. Collins, I beg your forgiveness for underestimating you. Please can I serve under you and learn from your expertise." The scene shocked Emily, Zane, and Noah. They had never expected the renowned Dr. Hayes to beg to serve under Dave. "I don't have time to guide you, Dr. Hayes." Dave responde

    Dave stood there with his fists clenched and his patience finally at its breaking point.He had tolerated enough of Jerry’s arrogance, his lies, his constant need to take credit for things he had nothing to do with.But this time?This time, he wasn’t letting it slide.He took a step forward, his voice cutting through the air with a sharpness that made everyone stop."Jerry," Dave said coldly, "since you enjoy taking credit for things you haven’t done, let’s talk about reality, shall we?"Jerry smirked, completely unbothered. "What are you going on about, Dave? I helped Ava, simple as that."Dave’s eyes darkened."Your father," he began, "is nothing but one of the low-status staff in Hendrix Group—one of the companies under the Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce."The smirk on Jerry’s face faltered.Dave continued. "He’s been hanging by a thread there for months, hasn’t he? The company is downsizing, cutting off unneeded employees. And what did you and your father do?" He chuckled dar

    Within an hour, Ava was back in the city. The anxiety she had felt on the way had not lessened—if anything, it had intensified. She clutched the paper with the address Dave had given her as the cab sped through the city streets. When the driver finally pulled up in front of the destination, Ava’s breath caught in her throat. Before her stood an exotic mansion—a structure so breathtaking, she had to glance at the paper in her hands again, making sure she had the right address. Dave is here? Ava stepped out of the cab, her heels clicking against the pristine pavement as she approached the grand entrance. Her mind whirled with questions. Who owned this majestic place? How did Dave—the same man who had been captured by Jacob Dale’s men—end up here? Nothing was making sense. The moment Ava stepped inside, she felt as though she had entered a dream. The interior was beyond luxurious, with elegant chandeliers casting a soft golden glow over the grand hallway. The sc

He had only secured her membership through Carl’s influence.And now?Carl was dead… and Dave had been kidnapped.Ava had fled the city to avoid being captured like Dave, and now, she was left feeling completely alone.She inhaled sharply, her mind racing.Then, a name surfaced in her thoughts—Jerry.Jerry wasn’t behind her membership, but his family held enormous influence in the city.Maybe… just maybe…She hesitated for a moment, then quickly dialed his number.After two rings, Jerry picked up. “Ava!

    Dave moved with the same calm precision of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers danced over the screen, making a few swift calls.Then, he set the phone down and folded his arms. “I told you, Jacob. I could make you… or break you.”Jacob scoffed, leaning back in his chair. “You’re an idiot and you can do nothing!"Just as he was about to order his men to beat Dave senseless, his phone began to buzz violently on the desk.Jacob frowned, eyeing the screen. His personal assistant’s name flashed across it.With a sneer, Jacob picked up the call. “Make it quick. I’m about to end someone’s life.”The voice on the other end sounded panicked.“Sir… it’s over. We’re finished!”Jacob’s face darkened. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Sir, our company… it’s bankrupt! All our major investors have withdrawn their funds! There’s nothing left! If we don’t act immediately, the company will be a complete write-off!”Jacob froze.His company? Bankrupt? Impossible!A sharp, sic

    News of Dave’s capture spread quickly through the Dexter household like a wildfire.Ava’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dexter, sat in their lavish living room, exchanging concerned glances. The air was thick with tension. The revelation that Jacob Dale’s men had promised to return for Ava had struck a deep nerve.Mr. Dexter folded his arms, pacing. “This is bad. This is very bad.”Mrs. Dexter placed a trembling hand over her chest. “Ava, you need to leave town immediately. If they’re coming for you next, we can’t take any chances.”Ava sat in silence while her mind was in turmoil Run away? Leave Dave behind?Mr. Dexter nodded in agreement. “Not only you, Ava. We’ll relocate the entire family—for now, at least. If Jacob Dale wants revenge, he won’t just come for you. He’ll come for us all.”Ava’s mother sighed dramatically before adding, “And honestly, dear, maybe this is a sign.”Ava furrowed her brows. “A sign?”Her mother leaned forward. “A sign that you need to let go of Dave.

    The sun was bright over Nexroh, casting a golden hue over the sprawling estate of the Dexter family. Ava stood in the garden, inhaling the scent of freshly bloomed roses, but her mind was restless. The events of the previous night still lingered.Dave, however, was moving on as if nothing had happened. He had briefly visited the mansion and was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a sleek, black Rolls-Royce Phantom glide into the compound.Its polished surface reflected the sunlight.The Dexter estate security guards, who normally would have stopped an unknown vehicle, took one look at the license plate and backed away immediately. Whoever was inside had power!As the vehicle came to a silent halt, four tall, broad-shouldered men stepped out. Dressed impeccably in black suits, their faces were expressionless with their eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. Their aura screamed authority, control, and danger!The leader, a man with slicked-back hair and a sharp jawline, surveyed t

    The next day, the Dexter family mansion was lively with celebration. The family had gathered to honor Ava's recent membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce.A grand feast had been laid out in the massive dining hall, where the Dexters, their friends, and esteemed guests laughed and chatted over plates of exquisite cuisine. Dave was present as well, sitting beside Ava, though most of the Dexter family still viewed him with skepticism.Suddenly, gunshot rang out like a thunderclap, shattering the lively atmosphere.Then another.Then several more!A cold silence fell over the room, quickly replaced by rising panic. Some guests jumped from their seats in alarm, while others froze in terror with their faces pale.“What the hell is happening?!” one of the guests shouted.Before anyone could react, the grand doors burst open with a deafening crash, revealing a group of armed men. Their faces were hard and their gazes were deadly.At the center of them stood a man almost everyone in N

    The few remaining patrons sat frozen in stunned silence, unwilling to move until the danger had completely passed.Just before leaving, one of Scarface’s lead bodyguards turned back and shot a dark glare at Dave. His face was pale and his hands trembled slightly, but he still forced himself to speak.“You have no idea what you’ve done, bastard,” the bodyguard warned in a grave voice. “Scarface’s father won’t let you off the hook. You’ve signed your own death warrant!”Dave didn’t even bother to lift his head. Instead, he casually leaned back in his seat, still twirling a fork in his fingers."If I count to three and you’re still standing here, you’ll never leave by the time I’m done with you."The room grew colder, and an icy silence settled over everyone.The bodyguard hesitated, his bravado cracking under the sheer indifference in Dave’s gaze. He swallowed hard and his legs were stiff, but when Dave calmly said "One."—he panicked and shut his mouth. Without another word, he spun
