The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 25
"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

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

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.
The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 32
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

As Carl’s men ensured the area was secure, Zane turned to Dave, her eyes filled with gratitude.“Mr Collins,” she began softly, “thank you so much for saving me again. I don’t even know how to repay you.” Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke, a mix of sincerity and lingering shock.Dave offered her a faint smile and shook his head.“You don’t need to repay me,” he said. “It’s nothing. Just make sure you’re safe next time.”Zane hesitated, then chuckled nervously. “You say it’s nothing, but it’s not the first time you’ve saved me. I’d probably be…” She trailed off, unable to finish the thought.Dave’s expression softened, though he maintained his composed air. “Really, it’s not a big deal,” he said. “Don’t let it weigh on you.”Zane smiled, though her gratitude still lingered in her gaze. After a moment, Dave glanced at her, curious. “But, Zane,” he asked, “what were you doing in the slum ruins? That area isn’t exactly known for its safety, and you didn’t have any bodyguards wi

The entire scene fell into an eerie silence, the kind that weighed heavy on everyone present. Zane and her driver sat wide-eyed, their expressions a mixture of awe and disbelief. The words to describe what they had just witnessed eluded them.The thugs, once loud and arrogant, now shivered in terror. Those who had been wailing in pain moments ago lay flat on the ground, not daring to make a sound. It was as if the very life had been drained from them by the sheer magnitude of Dave’s actions.Dave, standing calm and composed, surveyed the aftermath with a dispassionate gaze. To him, this was nothing extraordinary—just another confrontation resolved. Yet, for everyone else, it was an unforgettable moment of sheer dominance.The quiet was interrupted by the faint roar of engines growing louder in the distance. Zane perked up, recognizing the sound. “That must be my father’s men,” she murmured, still shaken but relieved.Dave nodded slightly but didn’t reply, his focus shifting to

Chaos erupted among the remaining thugs as their leader’s lifeless body hit the ground. Their bravado crumbled, replaced by raw terror.One thug, trembling with fear, muttered under his breath, “He… he must be a martial artist… no, not just any martial artist… He’s a real-time warrior, someone with unimaginable skill!”Their minds raced to comprehend the impossible scene they had just witnessed. Some clung to the hope that Dave's back was turned, thinking they could exploit the moment to attack. But as they moved to act, Dave casually waved his hand.In an instant, an overwhelming aura enveloped the wasteland. It was as if the very air had turned into a crushing weight!The thugs froze in place, their limbs locked in fear.Their legs trembled uncontrollably beneath them, unable to hold their weight.A few thugs collapsed to their knees, their faces pale and drenched in sweat. Gasping for air, they clawed at their throats as if suffocating under an invisible force. The weaker-min

The leader of the thugs sneered, his expression dripping with malice. "Listen up, boys. As long as we take care of these four," he gestured toward Dave, Zane, the driver, and the assistant with his gun, ".... we’ll be out of here safe and sound."His grin widened as he added with a vile laugh, "We’ll chop this delicate-looking guy into pieces and feed him to the dogs. As for the girl..." His eyes flickered to Zane. "We’ll have some fun first. Teach her a lesson before finishing her off."The other thugs erupted in laughter, some jeering in agreement. One particularly depraved man smirked at Dave. "What about him? He’s delicate, pretty even. Maybe we could have some fun with him too before we send him to the dogs."Their laughter grew louder, a chorus of wicked amusement that filled the tense air. Zane’s face drained of color, and her trembling hands gripped the edge of the car window. The driver, sweating bullets, sat frozen in terror.Dave, however, remained eerily calm, his l

Dave stood his ground, his face impassive. “Let them go.”The leader’s eyes narrowed. “You’ve got no idea who you’re messing with. Back off now, and I’ll pretend this never happened. But if you push your luck—”Dave interrupted, his voice cold and steady. “What happens if I push my luck?”The leader smirked, gesturing toward his men. “You’ll regret it. You think we’re some street punks? We’ve got backing—real power. If you anger the big shot behind us, not even God will save you.”Dave’s chuckle echoed through the wasteland, a sound both amused and chilling. "I've got some big appetite," he said mockingly. "So, if your so-called big shot isn’t capable enough, they wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."The leader of the thugs, a burly man with a scar running down his cheek, clenched his fists, his face flushing red with anger. "You’ll regret those words, bastard!" he growled. "I’ll make sure your death is slow and agonizing!"Behind him, the thug Dave had thro

Dave clenched his fists, forcing himself to focus. He remembered Kathy telling him something important: her mother was the orphanage director, and she had found him at the doorstep one cold night. He had been filthy and unconscious, with nothing on him except a jade-plate necklace and a note asking the orphanage to take him in temporarily.The image of the jade necklace flickered in his mind. He could almost feel its cold weight against his skin. It had been the only clue to his identity back then, yet it was now another piece of the puzzle lost to time.Kathy had also mentioned her younger brother—a simple-minded boy who always trailed behind her. Dave recalled the boy’s shy smile and the way he clung to Kathy like a shadow. The siblings had been inseparable, their bond unbreakable even amidst the harsh conditions of the orphanage.Just as the fragments seemed to align, a sharp, piercing pain exploded in Dave’s head."Argh!" he groaned, clutching his temples as he staggered bac

As Dave left the Dexter residence, everyone believed he had been embarrassed and ashamed, so no one tried to stop him. After all, his presence was of no good to them.Gordon who had invited Dave in the first place had been helped back into the room and had being receiving treatments from a private doctor.With Dave gone, Ava turned her attention to Jerry and Hannah, inviting them to stay for lunch before going for shopping that afternoon, just as they had planned.The family eagerly welcomed the idea, appreciating Jerry’s supposed role in resolving the casino issue. Over lunch, Jerry entertained everyone with stories of his supposed connections, further ingratiating himself with Ava and her family.---Ten minutes later, the sleek black car sent by Carl Mullen stopped at a desolate location.Dave stepped out and surveyed his surroundings.Before him stretched a wasteland of collapsed ruins, towering heaps of garbage, and overgrown weeds. The remnants of scorched buildings cast lon

"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.
