2024-12-20 15:12:30Ava, who had been glaring at Dave with obvious disdain, turned her attention to Jerry.
"What is it, Jerry?" Jerry's smile widened, sensing an opportunity to regain control of the situation. "I heard from my Uncle that Carl Mullen, the head of the Kevton Chamber of Commerce is hosting a banquet tonight. I know you've been working hard to help your family's business, Dexters' Associates, join the chamber. This could be your chance, you know?" Ava's eyes lit up with interest. "Really? Carl Mullen is in town?" "Yes," Jerry confirmed. "I thought you might want to attend the banquet. I can introduce you to him and pave the way for Dexters' Associates to gain access to the Kevton Chamber of Commerce. Don't you think it's going to be a great opportunity?" The mention of such a prestigious event immediately captured Ava's full attention, and she momentarily forgot her disdain for Dave. "That would be amazing, Jerry. Thank you for thinking of me." Jerry's eyes gleamed with satisfaction. "Of course, Ava. Anything to help a friend." The conversation shifted and the crowd discussed the one-in-town banquet that would soon take place in Nexroh. "I can't imagine the splendour that would accompany the Kevton Chamber's billionaire banquet." "I heard it's only the crème de la crème in Nexroh who are invited to the banquet." "Even fairly rich individuals can't attend." Meanwhile, Ava and Hannah couldn't help but praise Jerry for his plan to help Ava's family company secure a chance with the Kevton Chamber of Commerce. "Jerry, you're such a gentleman," Hannah said with her voice dripping with admiration. "Ava is lucky to have someone like you looking out for her." Ava nodded in agreement. "You're right, Hannah. Jerry's always been so thoughtful and considerate. Unlike some people." Ava said, casting a disdainful glance at Dave from the corner of her eye. Dave watched the exchange in silence, still maintaining an indifferent expression. He knew that Jerry's offer to help Ava was just another attempt to gain her attention and further undermine him, Dave. But of course, Dave had no interest in their petty games! His focus was on something far more important. However, noticing Dave's silence, Jerry felt a flicker of unease. He didn't like how unaffected Dave seemed by everything. By now, he had expected Dave to show some signs of jealousy, anger, or irritation. Determined to maintain his upper hand, he continued to steer the conversation. "Ava, I'll pick you up tonight around seven. We'll head to the banquet together. Make sure to dress your best; first impressions are everything." Ava smiled with her excitement palpable. "Thank you, Jerry. I really appreciate this." How else would she have had the chance to meet the renowned Carl Mullen if she hadn't met Jerry? She couldn't be more excited about her meeting with Jerry that night! "Jerry, meeting Carl Mullen and the other influential figures is an incredible opportunity. You've given me a chance I never thought I'd have." "I'm glad I could help, Ava. You deserve every opportunity to succeed. Dexters Associates is going to make waves in the chamber of commerce." Hannah quickly chimed in. "Can I come too? It sounds like a fantastic event." Jerry hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Of course, Hannah. The more, the merrier." Hannah grinned in excitement as she cast a disdainful glance toward Dave, who was quietly enjoying the snacks and drinks he had brought along. "Jerry is just the perfect fit for Ava, unlike some people," she continued sarcastically, "who are completely useless! They offer no help to Ava's career but just live off her!" Dave was seemingly unaffected by Hannah's cutting remarks. Instead, he chuckled softly while he took a sip of his drink and looked at the trio. "You know," Dave began with his tone light and amused, "it's quite a delusion to think that you all are going to attend Carl Mullen's banquet." Ava, Jerry, and Hannah turned to him with puzzled expressions. "What do you mean?" Dave shrugged nonchalantly. "The banquet has been cancelled. Carl Mullen decided not to host it after all..."

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
The Billionaire Nobody Noticed Chapter 16
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

"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
