The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 22
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

“It might be best if you move in with Ava. You’re her husband, after all, and it’s time the two of you start living together properly,” Gordon continued. Hearing this, Greg and Joyce exchanged surprised glances. The idea of Dave moving in with Ava was unthinkable to them, and they couldn’t mask their apprehension. Greg clenched his fists, sharing Joyce's fear that Dave might actually agree to Gordon’s suggestion. Dave simply shook his head. “I appreciate your concern, sir,” he replied Gordon. "But, Ava and I married quickly, and we're still adjusting to each other. I think it's best not to rush into living together just yet." "With time, as our relationship grows stronger, we can revisit the idea." "In the meantime, I'll focus on working hard to provide Ava with the perfect home she deserves." Dave's response was measured and reasonable, surprising everyone. “I see,” Gordon replied, showing understanding. “That’s a wise approach, Dave. I respect your decision.”

Dave watched Ava with his lips curling into a faint smile. Although he knew the invitation cards weren't sent by Jerry, he chose not to reveal the truth. After all, Ava would eventually discover it on her own. Gordon leaned in to examine the invitation, his face brightening with approval. “Excellent work, Ava. This is exactly the kind of progress I was hoping for. Keep it up, and you’ll make us all proud.” Ava beamed with smiles at her grandfather’s praise. Almost immediately, Gordon glanced at Dave. For a moment, she felt a surge of triumph, as if everything was falling into place just as she had planned. “Dave, I think it would be a good idea if you became Ava’s assistant. You could help her with her work, reduce her stress, and the two of you would have more opportunities to spend time together and understand each other better.” The suggestion hit Ava like a ton of bricks! The thought of Dave following her around all day, pretending to be her assistant, was unbea

Dave watched her with an amused expression, his lips curling into a faint smile. He knew the truth behind that invitation, but he kept his silence. After all, they would find out the truth later. Gordon leaned in to examine the invitation, his face lighting up with approval. “Excellent work, Ava. This is exactly the kind of progress I was hoping for. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up." Ava beamed with smiles. For a moment, she felt a surge of triumph, as if everything was falling into place just as she had planned. But then Gordon turned to look at Dave. “Dave, I think it would be a good idea if you became Ava’s assistant. "In addition to helping her with her work and reducing her stress, the two of you would have more opportunities to spend time together and better understand each other. The suggestion hit Ava like a ton of bricks! The thought of Dave following her around all day, acting as her assistant, was unbearable! She could barely tolerate his presence f

As soon as Dave mentioned having his own money, Ava’s parents, Greg and Joyce Smith, exchanged sceptical glances. Greg shook his head, unable to believe Dave's audacity. How could a nobody like Dave have the guts to say he had money?! “Money, huh?” Greg scoffed, his voice thick with derision. “You expect us to believe that you’ve got your own money, but you’re still here, living off of our daughter?” Joyce folded her arms tightly across her chest, her eyes narrowing as she looked Dave up and down. “You see, we know your type. Just trying to get a free ride, aren’t you? Do you think you can mooch off our family and live comfortably without lifting a finger? Well, let me tell you, it’s not going to work!” Dave stood calmly, his face betraying no emotion despite the biting words being thrown at him. And before everyone knew it, Gordon, Ava’s grandfather, stepped forward, his presence commanding immediate attention. “Enough!” Gordon said firmly, his voice carrying

The banquet hall grew silent as Carl stepped forward with a puzzled expression. He glanced toward Ava, who was standing confidently on stage, having just delivered her speech thanking Jerry for her success. Carl leaned into the microphone. "Excuse me, Ms. Dexter," he began, his voice polite but firm. "It seems there’s been a misunderstanding."Ava froze, her smile faltering as she looked at Carl. The audience murmured softly, intrigued by the sudden shift in tone. "I’d like to clarify something," Carl continued."Neither your invitation to this dinner nor your candidacy for the Kevton Chamber of Commerce was secured by Mr. Jerry here."The room erupted in hushed whispers as Carl's words hung in the air. Jerry’s face turned a deep shade of red, and he instinctively adjusted his tie, trying to maintain composure. Ava blinked in confusion, her mind racing."In fact," Carl added, his gaze shifting to Dave, "the credit belongs entirely to Mr Collins, sitting right there."---Gasps

Jerry shifted uncomfortably in his seat, still smarting from the call with his father. But his ego refused to let him admit defeat."Ava," Jerry said confidently, leaning toward her, "I just confirmed with my dad again. He assured me it was his connections that made all this possible."Ava beamed at him, her faith in Jerry solidifying even further. "Thank you, Jerry. I knew I could count on you."Hannah chimed in, her voice dripping with condescension as she glanced at Dave. "See, Dave? That’s how you step up for someone you care about. Maybe take some notes."Dave clenched his jaw but said nothing. He had already done everything in his power to help Ava, and yet here he was, being dismissed as incompetent.Zane, standing nearby, couldn’t resist rolling her eyes. She knew the truth—she had personally ensured Ava’s selection at Dave’s request. Watching Jerry shamelessly take credit for something he had no part in was almost too much for her to bear."Unbelievable," Zane muttered

After sending the text, Jerry leaned back confidently in his chair with a smug grin spreading across his face.“Ava,” he said, his tone dripping with self-assurance. “I may not have the clout to handle this alone, but don’t worry. My father’s influence is unparalleled. Your name will definitely be on the list. Just wait and see.”Ava nodded, a mix of hope and nervousness flashing across her face. Hannah, seated beside her, chimed in supportively.“That’s right, Ava. Jerry’s father is known for pulling strings. You’re in good hands.”Soon after, the Master of Ceremonies returned to the stage to announce the names of the three chosen candidates for the Kevton Chamber of Commerce. A hush fell over the crowd as the MC’s voice boomed through the hall.“Our second candidate tonight is... Ava Dexter, representing The Dexter Group!”The room erupted into polite applause as Ava gasped, her face lighting up with unrestrained joy. She turned to Jerry, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.“Jerry

The grand banquet hall buzzed with anticipation as the Master of Ceremonies stepped up to the podium. The spotlight illuminated the stage, and the chatter of the crowd fell silent. The MC’s voice rang out, clear and commanding, as he formally announced the start of the prestigious event.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight’s gathering, where we will celebrate excellence, vision, and leadership..."The crowd erupted into applause, their excitement palpable. Meanwhile, Zane had excused herself from Ava's banter, to handle matters regarding the selection process. Dave took a seat, his expression calm despite the swirling energy in the room.Nearby, Jerry seized the opportunity to boast, his voice loud enough for Dave and others to hear. “Ava, you’re lucky to have me here tonight. With my family’s connections, I’ll ensure you’re considered for candidacy. You’ll be thanking me when your name is on that list.”"I heard that tonight’s highlight will be the selection of three candi

In the privacy of the upscale lounge, Zane was in high spirits. She had just completed a therapeutic treatment and a thorough check-up by Dave.Zane leaned against the back of the chaise lounge and grinned mischievously at Dave. “You know, Mr Collins, if you were my boyfriend, I wouldn’t have to worry about a single thing in life. Everything would just… fall into place.”Dave chuckled softly, shaking his head. “You’re joking again, Zane.” His tone was light but firm. “Besides, my wife is here at the banquet. She’s in the main hall.”Zane smirked, playfully shrugging. “Lucky woman. I bet she doesn’t even realize how much of a gem she has.” She paused, then waved her hand dismissively.“Alright, alright. I’ll stop teasing. I know not to cross the line.”The atmosphere was relaxed and amicable as Dave finished his work. The treatment had gone flawlessly, leaving Zane energized and ready to enjoy the rest of the evening without worrying about her health. She couldn’t help but fee

The evening of the charity banquet arrived and Ava became a little apprehensive after hearing from Hannah that Jackson Tamil would be attending. She feared that Jackson might cause trouble for Dave.Of course, Ava and Hannah couldn’t forget how Dave had confronted Jackson earlier.However, sensing Ava's concerns, Jerry quickly spoke up,“Ava, you’re right to worry,” he said, his voice dripping with faux sincerity. “It’s best if Dave stays out of this crowd. It’s not a scene he’s suited for.”Hannah nodded in agreement. “It’s not about looking down on him, Ava,” she added. “It’s just that we’re trying to protect him. He might not understand the nuances of dealing with someone like Jackson.”Ava hesitated but finally approached Dave. “Dave,” she began cautiously, “I think it’s better if you stay home tonight. Jackson Tamil will be at the banquet, and I don’t want any unnecessary trouble.”Dave met her gaze with calm resolve. “You don’t have to worry about me, Ava,” he said. “But i

Jackson stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing as he recalled his uncle’s warning: “Anyone who exposes this young man's identity in public under any circumstances could create complications they aren’t prepared to handle.”The realization left Jackson with little choice but to defuse the situation in the most casual way possible. With a forced chuckle, he straightened his jacket and said, “This was all just a misunderstanding. A little joke, really. Let’s not make a big deal out of it.”His words confused the room, but Jackson didn’t linger to explain. He quickly turned to his bewildered girlfriend, Elise, and gestured for her to follow him. “Let’s go,” he said curtly, walking briskly toward the exit.The tension in the room eased as soon as the door closed behind Jackson. Everyone assumed the sudden change in Jackson’s demeanor was due to Jerry’s intervention. After all, Jerry had stepped in just a few minutes ago, and Jackson’s response appeared to be an act of deference.J

Suddenly, Jackson froze. His mind worked frantically, trying to place the familiar aura that radiated from Dave. Then, it hit him like a bolt of lightning.Just a day and a half ago, his uncle had shown him a photo of a man. “This is someone you need to be very careful with,” his uncle had warned. “If you ever meet him, don’t be a fool. Make a good impression, or at the very least, don’t offend him.”At the time, Jackson had scoffed at the suggestion. Who could possibly warrant such caution from a family as powerful as his?!But the photo had struck him. It wasn’t just the man’s face that lingered in his memory—it was the eyes. Those piercing, unyielding eyes that seemed to see through his very soul. Jackson had joked about the man looking like death himself, but the joke had rung hollow even then.Now, confronted with the same chilling gaze in real life, Jackson’s blood ran cold!He stumbled back a step, his heart hammering in his chest. How had he been so blind? And worse,

Elise’s face contorted in fury, her pride deeply wounded by Hannah’s stinging insult. She took a step closer, pointing a perfectly manicured finger at Hannah. “You’ve got some nerve, bitch!” She spat. “You think you’re so much better than me?" "Let’s be honest—without her patronage," Elise sneered, pointing at Ava. "...you wouldn’t even get a whiff of the aristocratic circles you’re so desperate to join. You’re nothing more than a sycophant, clinging to your friend because you know you can’t make it on your own.” Hannah’s jaw tightened, and her face reddened with anger. Elise, emboldened, pressed on. “And don’t even get me started on your boyfriend,” Elise added, her voice dripping with disdain as she gestured toward Mark. “He’s a spineless opportunist! If it meant gaining favor with someone like my boyfriend, Jackson, he’d throw you to the wolves without a second thought. You call me trash? At least I know my worth. What about you?” The words struck
