The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 18
"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
The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 19
Dave's plan was to buy a gift for Ava at the jewelry store. Although Ava seemed displeased by the marriage, it didn't change the fact that they were legally married. Deep down, Dave felt the marriage had been rushed. He hadn't made proper preparations and had only obtained the certificate because of Ava's grandfather's pressure. Despite Ava's deep misunderstanding of him, Dave decided to buy her a nice piece of jewelry. Perhaps this would show Ava that he wasn’t as worthless as she believed. Carl offered to accompany Dave into the store, but Dave declined, knowing that Carl owned the jewelry shop. If Carl accompanied him, it wouldn't be seen as shopping but rather accepting a tribute. Moreover, it carried the risk of Carl inadvertently revealing his identity in the store. Therefore, Dave rejected Carl's offer and went into the shop on his own, while Carl remained in the car waiting for him. Upon stepping into the Luxe Jewelry Emporium, Dave was immediately greet

The middle-aged man frowned at Dave, nodding in agreement with his mistress’s words. Seeing Dave as a commoner, he shot him a disdainful look. Meanwhile, Dave smirked in response to the woman's remark. "Look, woman, you have no right to criticize or mock anyone. After all, you are not from a high-class family. You're just some shameless mistress who depends on her sugar daddy for money." Dave's words infuriated the young woman. She completely lost her temper and turned to her lover. "Are you going to let him talk to me like that? Teach him a lesson!" The middle-aged man, eager to prove that he was man enough, snapped at the saleswoman, "Get this riff-raff out of here. He's ruining my shopping experience!" The saleswoman hesitated, unsure of what to do. Should she really ask an innocent customer to leave for no reason? However, before she could make a decision, the store manager arrived on the scene. The manager, a well-dressed man with greying hair, immedi

The guards seized the manager, ignoring his protests and cries for mercy. His desperate pleas fell on deaf ears as they dragged him toward the exit. Once so confident in his authority, the manager was now a crumbling wreck, thrown onto the street outside. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had confronted Dave earlier stood pale and trembling as he recognized Carl Mullen, a figure he'd only seen on local TV and heard about in business circles. His knees nearly buckled at the realization of whom he had just crossed paths with. However, his mistress who was beside him, emboldened by her earlier defiance, opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, a sharp slap from the middle-aged man silenced her. The slap echoed through the store, stunning everyone. "Keep shut?!" The man yelled at her. Tears welled up in the woman's eyes and she was too shocked to respond. She had planned to challenge Carl, insisting she was a more important customer and demanding that

After instructing Carl to deliver the gift to the Dexters' mansion, Dave's thoughts shifted to more pressing matters. He needed to visit the local branch of the Great Empire - Velcro Group. Earlier, he had received a text from the secretary of Velcro Group, one of his subordinates. The message informed him that a shipment of precious herbs and crystals had arrived—resources vital for training novice warriors and regarded as strategic assets. Without Dave's signature for distribution, approval, and allocation, the department responsible couldn't proceed. Knowing he had to act quickly, Dave put aside his recent arrival in the area and his new marriage. Responsibilities awaited him. There was no time to waste. He quickly hailed a cab and instructed the driver to head to Velcro Group, his mind already racing through the tasks ahead. Meanwhile, at the Dexters' mansion, the atmosphere was abuzz with excitement. Ava had invited Jerry and Hannah over to discuss the upcoming c

As the evening wore on, the three friends shared a celebratory dinner, toasting to the upcoming charity event and the opportunities it promised. Ava couldn’t help but dream about what membership in the Kevton Chamber of Commerce would mean. She envisioned new business deals, expanded networks, and a strengthened position for her family’s enterprise. The future seemed brighter than ever! After dinner, the sound of a car arriving drew their attention. Dave had returned after completing his tasks at Velcro Group. As he walked into the mansion, Jerry and Hannah noticing him, eyed him with disdain. Hannah broke the silence, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Well, look who decided to show up. Just in time for dinner, as usual. How convenient!" Dave however ignored her, maintaining his composure. “The freeloader is nothing compared to Jerry, who not only got Ava a beautiful jewellery gift but also helped her secure an invitation to the charity gala," Hannah continued,

Gordon’s voice was filled with regret and concern. He had heard that Ava had rejected Dave as her husband and always disagreed with him. Gordon apologized for Ava’s behaviour and suggested sending a car to bring Dave over, hoping to see Ava apologize to him in person. However, Dave quickly replied, "There’s no need to send a car, Pa Gordon. I’ll come on my own." When Dave finally arrived at the Dexters' mansion, he was greeted by Ava at the door. She appeared nervous and hesitant, clearly instructed by her grandfather to meet Dave upon his arrival and make amends. Her pale face reflected the scolding she had just received from him for her hasty decisions and mistreatment of Dave. However, despite her annoyance, there was a flicker of concern in her eyes when she saw Dave approaching. She felt guilty for how she had treated him, yet her pride wouldn’t allow her to fully soften. Despite her annoyance, a flicker of concern appeared in her eyes as she saw Dave approac

"I'm sure you've never had a chance to handle even 2% of that all your life, so it should be more than enough for you to start fresh somewhere else, far away from me!” Ava added. Dave looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. “$200,000?” he echoed, his voice calm but with a slight edge. “Why do you think so little of our marriage, Ava? Is that all it’s worth to you?” Ava’s expression hardened. She had expected him to accept the offer without question—perhaps even be grateful! But his response only angered her. “This marriage,” she spat, “is shit. It doesn’t even exist in my eyes." "How can I call this a marriage when I’m stuck with a pauper?" "You’re not my husband, Dave. You’re just someone I was forced to marry!” Her words were harsh, cutting through the air like a knife. But Dave remained unfazed. He had heard worse before and had grown a thick skin already. So instead of retaliating, he shrugged. “If that’s how you feel,” he said with a smirk

"Hannah, you’ve always been quick to jump to the wrong conclusions. Ava is truly unfortunate to have you as a friend."At this moment, Ava became more angry at Dave.She had expected him to apologize to Jerry and even thank him for helping them. But here he was showing no sense of remorse.To her, it was beyond embarrassing—especially in front of Jerry, who had saved them from a dire situation.“Dave, your behavior is insufferable,” she said sharply, turning to face him. “You don’t realize how much embarrassment you’ve caused. Do you think we can’t see through your lies and your desperate need to prove yourself?”Dave's expression remained indifferent. He seemed unfazed by her accusations.Without hesitation, he turned to face Ava, standing beside Gerald and Hannah."You all are blind and ignorant,” he replied calmly."You’re praising the wrong person while being deceived. But that’s none of my business, is it? Fools will always pay their dues to liars.”Ava’s face flushed with anger

Jerry blinked, clearly surprised. He had never met the casino manager before, so how could the man speak of him as someone important he didn't want to offend? Even his family had no ties to the underground world."Your presence alone was enough to scare them off. How influential!" Gerald exclaimed.The room buzzed with murmurs as the rest of the family considered Gerald’s theory. It made sense, in a way. Jerry was well-known in high society, and his family’s influence was undeniable. If anyone could have caused the casino manager to retreat, it would be someone like him.Jerry, realizing that everyone was now looking at him expectantly, decided to roll with it. He chuckled, patting his chest in mock humility. “Well,” he said with a grin, "That was the least I could do. Ava and I are good friends, after all, and if my presence helped her and her family, I'm glad I could be of help."Hannah, standing next to Jerry, smiled and placed a hand on his arm. “That’s so like you, Jerry.

Gerald was just about to cry out to Jerry to help him, but before Gerald could say a word, the casino manager spoke up. Steeling himself, the manager gave a subtle but respectful nod toward Dave before addressing the room. “Listen everyone,” the manager began, his tone now composed and businesslike, though there was a slight tremor in his voice. “I’ve just realized something important. It appears that this family is hosting a very distinguished guest.” “Given this, I must apologize for any disturbance we’ve caused. Rest assured, Gerald’s debt is hereby cleared in full.” It turned out that just a couple of days ago, the manager had seen the photo of Dave in his boss's office. Although his boss hadn't explained Dave's identity, since he wasn't qualified to know too much either, had sternly warned his subordinates not to offend the person in the photo under any circumstances, or even God wouldn't be able to save them! The casino manager never expected to meet the person

Dave’s firm words seemed to hang in the air. The Dexters stood frozen, their faces etched with shock and disbelief. Joyce was the first to break the silence, her expression twisted in anger. She pointed a trembling finger at Dave. “Are you insane?” she hissed. “What kind of fool are you to provoke someone like that? Do you want to destroy this family?” Greg stepped forward, his voice low and trembling with suppressed rage. “You think this is a game, don’t you? That casino manager isn’t someone you mess with. You’ve just made things worse for all of us.” Ava, though still processing the chaos of the situation, turned her fiery gaze to Dave. “This is exactly why I didn’t want you involved in my affairs,” she snapped. “You’re reckless and useless, and now you’ve jeopardized us all with your foolish words!” But Dave, far from being intimidated or cowed by their anger, smirked and crossed his arms. He turned his attention to Gerald, who was standing in a corn

The tension in the room was palpable as the underground casino manager leaned against the doorframe, his cold, calculating eyes scanning the family like a predator sizing up its prey. His men stood behind him, arms crossed and faces hardened, creating an oppressive atmosphere that seemed to crush the very air in the villa. "One billion dollars," the manager repeated menacingly, his voice dripping with mockery. "Pay up!" "Or we'll take Gerald and teach him a lesson he won't forget. Maybe a few broken limbs will remind him not to mess with us." Gerald, whose legs had already been trembling, now fell to his knees, his face pale as a ghost. He turned to his parents, his voice quivering as he pleaded, "Mom, Dad, please! You can't let them take me! Do something!" Joyce clutched her chest, her breathing ragged. Greg was visibly shaken, his eyes darting around the room. The manager smirked, clearly enjoying their desperation. "You have two options: pay the full amount

The atmosphere in the villa was suffocating as tension and fear loomed over the Dexter family. Ava stood frozen, her frustration bubbling dangerously close to tears. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms as she glared at her brother, who stood awkwardly amidst the chaos he had caused. Gerald’s pale face betrayed his fear, but his attempts to maintain a mask of bravado only worsened Ava’s frustration. "Unbelievable," Ava hissed, her voice shaking. "You’ve done nothing but embarrass this family, Gerald. Do you even understand the gravity of what you’ve done?" Greg and Joyce were equally distraught, and Greg paced back and forth, muttering curses under his breath. Joyce also wrung her hands together as tears welled in her eyes. “How could you do this, Gerald?” Joyce finally blurted, her voice a mix of anger and anguish. “Do you have any idea what you’ve risked?" "Do you realize what could happen to this family if Gordon decides to disinher

Dave watched the scene unfold with a bemused expression. He could see the anger simmering beneath Gerald’s forced apology, but he didn’t care. “Apology accepted,” he said casually, waving his hand as if dismissing the entire matter. Gerald’s eyes blazed with fury at Dave’s dismissive tone, but he held his tongue. He couldn’t afford to cross Gordon, not now! But the humiliation was like a fire in his chest, and he could feel his anger festering. Just then, Ava appeared, walking back into the yard after finishing some errands. She noticed the tension in the air immediately and stopped in her tracks, taking in the scene: her brother, seething with anger, Dave standing calm and unbothered, and Gordon looking exasperated. She rolled her eyes, a deep sigh escaping her lips. “What now?” Ava asked, exasperated as she walked past them toward the dining area. The servants were busy setting up the tableware and arranging the lavish dishes for lunch. Ava barely managed t

Joyce, still seething, quickly nodded in agreement. “I think we should call Gerald back home. He’ll know how to handle that arrogant bastard! He'll put him in his place.” Gerald was their son, and they knew what he was capable of. Greg wasted no time in reaching for his phone. Within minutes, he had made the call, and Gerald promised to return as soon as possible. It wasn’t long before the front door opened, and he stepped inside. He was a tall and athletic man in his late twenties. His parents wasted no time. They explained how Dave had manipulated and exploited Ava, siphoning off a staggering 1.2 million dollars! "Gerald, we need you to handle this," Greg said. "You’ve got to get that money back. That scoundrel needs to be taught a lesson!" Gerald cracked his knuckles and gave a reassuring nod. "Don't worry, Dad," he said, his tone laced with a sinister edge. "I'll make sure the bastard regrets ever messing with Ava." By now, it was almost lunchtime.

Meanwhile, Joyce, who had gone to the kitchen earlier, stepped into the living room and saw Dave still standing there. She folded her arms, glaring at him with a smirk. “You know, loser,” she began, her voice laced with disdain, “you’re like a toad lusting after a swan." "Do you really think someone like you has any chance with a priceless jewel like my daughter?" "It's truly pathetic. You should just walk away while you still can." "Dave kept a blank expression. Joyce continued, her voice growing colder. “My ideal son-in-law is someone like Jerry, Ava's friend. He’s successful, wealthy, and comes from a respectable family. He’s everything you’re not. So, do yourself a favour and stop this ridiculous charade! You’re out of your league!” Before Dave could respond, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the hallway. Greg, Ava’s father, entered the living room, his presence commanding immediate attention. He had come back into the living room to have lunch whe
