“Huh?”

The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Hector. Everyone stared at him, their eyes wide with disbelief.

“Did he just say what I think he did?” a woman in an evening gown asked.

“Did he just tell Paul that he’d been scammed?”

“Who does he think he is, saying stuff like that?”

“Is he tired of living in this family?”

Paul turned to Hector, his glare sharp enough to cut glass. “What did you just say?” he demanded. “How dare you claim it’s fake and that I was scammed?! This is a necklace I bought for Grandma to wear as a family heirloom!”

Hector reached out to take the bracelet to make his point, but Paul smacked his hand away and pulled the box closer.

“This is a gift for Grandma. How dare you try to touch it with your filthy hands?! Didn’t you hear me say it was just recently released? How can you claim it’s fake when you’re so poor you wouldn’t know a real bracelet if it hit you in the face?!”

Hector smirked slightly. “Of course, I know what the bracelet lo

    Hector was hunched over the laundry basket, quietly scrubbing clothes in the sink when his mother-in-law stormed in. Without a word, she tossed a pair of dirty socks onto his face, her eyes filled with contempt.“Not only have you been washing that for the past forty minutes, but you also forgot to pick up all the dirty stuff. Who made you think that anyone here would be your slave? Trash like you should know your place and make sure this doesn’t happen again!”Just then, his wife, Madison, walked into the laundry room and stood in front of her mother, Abigail, trying to stop her from saying anything more.“Mom, stop!” she said, feeling terrible that Hector was being treated like that, knowing he had dignity too.Hector glanced at them. After all, he was just the useless son-in-law of the Edmund family, one who could only do house chores.“Don’t try to stop me!” Abigail snarled, clearly furious. “Isn’t he someone worth talking to like that?! Not only is he useless to the family, but n

    As soon as Mr. Edmund, Madison’s grandfather, walked into the room, the conversation ceased. Once he sat down, his gaze shifted toward the women in the family. There were six of them, including Madison.“Has it been decided?” Mr. Edmund asked. “Who will marry Jack Jayden?”The women exchanged uneasy glances.“I can’t marry Jack,” Julia, Madison's cousin, said, twirling her hair to flaunt the sparkling ring on her finger. “I’m already engaged, and my fiancé is a wealthy man who could help the family in the future.”The others nodded, knowing who her fiancé was.“Sarah is engaged too,” Julia added, gesturing toward another cousin. “Both of our fiancés are rich and will be valuable to the family. The other women here are also dating potential men who could help in the future. Madison is the only one suitable to marry Jack.”Abigail’s face reddened with anger at the suggestion of her daughter marrying Jack. “Madison is already married,” she said firmly.“We’re all aware of that,” Julia re

    Hearing Hector yell that he didn’t agree made everyone even more surprised than they had been. The room fell silent, as if a golden goose had just passed by, before a cackle of laughter filled the place.In a few seconds, everyone including Abigail burst into laughter.“You don’t agree?” they mocked.“You don’t even have the qualification to participate in the family meeting.”“Who the hell do you think you are, voicing your opinion like that?”Each of them glared at him, resentment and amusement written all over their faces. They couldn’t help but question what he had actually disagreed with.“Are you saying you refuse to collect the one million dollars that she asked for your sake, or you refuse to let her get married to someone else?” Julia questioned, grinning at Hector.Taking a deep breath, Hector glanced at Julia. “Both,” he replied, a serious look on his face. “I am not going to let her get married to a man like Jack.”Madison’s head snapped to Hector’s direction. Not only had

    "I can save the business! I'm being for real," Hector said. "Just give me some time."Madison's eyes watered in frustration. She had been expecting someone to come save her like a hero, but they were nowhere in sight.Her so-called husband was even making matters worse by acting like a clown.'Did he think the meeting was a place where he could make jokes?’ she thought, her fist tightening, knuckles turning white."I'm not joking!" Hector yelled, but it only increased the snickers.Glaring at him, she pointed to the door. "You should leave, Hector," she stated. "There is no need for you to be here anymore."Hesitating, Hector wanted to protect her. However, seeing the painful look on her face, his heart sank. She hadn’t believed him, and he had spoken as if she was going to."Just leave," she added. "I won’t repeat myself."His lips opened and closed immediately; he had never expected things to go that way. His brain was totally blank, and he had no idea how to feel about all of it. T
