The receptionist could hardly believe that Hector was a member of the Henderson family, and she sighed in relief that she hadn’t looked down on him because of his appearance. Hector, on the other hand, returned the hotel manager's smile.

“All right then. Since only my wife and I will be using the entire hotel on that day, there’s nothing else for me to do here,” Hector told Colin.

Colin nodded. “That’s correct. We’ll also handle the decorations and other arrangements for the anniversary. You can sit back and relax until the day. Our crew is the best at making parties perfect and memorable.”

“That’s fine,” Hector replied. “Next week, on the 23rd.”

“I’ll keep that in mind, sir,” Colin responded.

After his discussion with Colin, Hector left the hotel. Although the president had invited him for a meeting, he had declined, as he still had somewhere else to be. He ordered a ride and waited for it to arrive, glancing at his phone as if expecting a message.

His next destination was the Edmund

    Hector’s face twitched in disgust at her words. Not only had she insulted him previously and said Madison was going to get married to Jack, dismissing his efforts, but now she even dared to ask him to invite the CEO of the company to their house.Just because the CEO owed him a favor didn’t mean he could command him around. Who did she think she was?It was ridiculous! He stared at her as she wore a wide grin on her face as if taunting him.Now that their family had advanced further than they had originally anticipated, she found no reason for a man like Hector to be in the house, even if he had been the one who made it possible.That was nothing compared to the things they had done for him over the past three years.“Aren’t you going to say anything?” Abigail demanded, her patience wearing thin. “Since the CEO of Lord’s Limited made us a gold-level partner because you asked, wouldn’t he also accept your invitation?”‘Shameless!’ That was all Hector could think of. Abigail was too sha

    Mr. Edmund broke into a smile, his face forming a friendly expression. He felt irritated at having to smile at Hector, but he had no choice since that was the only way they would believe his act.Abigail mirrored Mr. Edmund's expression, feigning warmth.“Since you don't want to marry Jack Madison,” Abigail began, sighing with her hand over her lips, “I guess I’ll have no choice but to let you do as you please.” She raised her eyes to look at Madison.Madison’s brows lifted in excitement. “Really?”“That’s right,” Mr. Edmund replied. “We won’t force you to be with Jack anymore. If you want to keep your marriage to Hector, we have no objection since that’s what you want.”Madison beamed, a satisfied smile curling on her lips. She had thought they would refuse her and try to control her as they always did, but they were giving in to her request.Although Mr. Edmund and Abigail told her she could do whatever she wanted, other family members didn’t like the idea.“What do you mean she can

    The next day reached like a blur. The Edmund family had finished preparing for the banquet, and it had already begun. Hector buttoned the last button on his suit, ready to attend.He stood outside the room, waiting for Madison to get ready so he could escort her to the banquet. They had shared the same bed the previous night, and it had been quite awkward, as he had been unable to fall asleep.He glanced at the door, waiting for it to open. However, as soon as she was done, she hurried out of the room and dashed away before he could even walk with her.She looked like she was heading somewhere urgent, with no time to wait.“I’ll be downstairs,” she told him. “Get yourself ready. There will be so many guests downstairs.”With that, she disappeared out of sight. Hector ran his hand through his hair, sighing in frustration. He couldn’t believe he had missed the chance to walk with her, but he reassured himself that there would be other opportunities.He followed the same path she had tak

    Jack flinched when Hector slammed him against the wall as soon as the words left his lips. For a moment, he thought someone significant was holding him, but when he looked up and realized it was Hector, a sneer spread across his face.“What are you doing, loser?” Jack sneered. “If my shirt gets ruined, you can’t afford it.”“I asked you a question,” Hector replied, glaring at Jack. “Why are you spreading that rumor about Madison?!”Seeing that Hector’s raised voice had drawn attention, Jack frowned, their glares mirroring each other. Jack couldn't let his plans be ruined by Hector, and his blood boiled with humiliation.“What the hell are you talking about?” Jack retorted, glaring daggers at him. “All I said is the truth! I didn’t spread any rumors; they can’t be called rumors since they’re true! Madison and I slept together, and I made sure everyone knew so you’d stop being delusional.”“You’re the one being delusional, you punk!” Hector snapped. “How dare you lie and frame her?! Don

    “What? What do you mean, bankrupt?” Jack questioned, trying to convince himself he had heard wrong.“The family is bankrupt, you idiot!” his father bellowed. “We have nothing to our name anymore because you offended a big shot! You’d better apologize before he leaves, or you might not get another chance!”“I didn’t raise you to ruin everything I worked hard for. If it weren’t for the fact that I need you to apologize to the person you offended, I would have kicked you out of the family!”It finally hit Jack—the only person he had offended was Hector, and it was Hector who had demanded an apology or threatened to ruin his family financially.Jack’s mind raced through everything he’d done to Hector. His face paled, and sweat dripped down his face and neck.“Jack Jayden! You’d better apologize, or else!” his father bellowed finally.The call ended, and Jack dropped to his knees, terrified. He had insulted Hector countless times and wasn’t even sure where to start apologizing.“I was wron

    “Did you just say that the Jayden family went bankrupt?” Abigail questioned, her eyes widening in surprise. “How is that even possible? How can their family go bankrupt in just a few minutes?”Mr. Edmund glanced at Abigail, his expression mirroring her shock. “I don’t know. Apparently, his father refused to explain or tell us what went wrong!”Everyone turned to Jack, who seemed unfazed by the commotion and was still kneeling in front of Madison.“I am sorry for what I did,” Jack muttered. “Please forgive me!”Madison looked at Jack, still puzzled about why he was pleading with her, even after hearing about his family’s bankruptcy.“Even if his family went bankrupt, why is he groveling at Madison’s feet?” Fiona wondered, still disappointed that the Jayde family had gone bankrupt. It was as if her plan to torment Madison had crumbled, and there was no way to rebuild it.“How can the family go bankrupt? It must be fake news! There’s no way the family went bankrupt!” Julia argued, drawing

    Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise, including Jack’s. They all stared at her as if they had heard her wrong. There was no way she’d asked Jack to crawl—they must have been hearing things.Damn, were they wrong?“I didn’t hear what you just said,” Jack muttered, his eyes losing their color.“I told you to crawl around the banquet hall five times before all the guests if you want my forgiveness!” Madison bellowed, her eyes cold. “Do you want me to repeat myself, or don’t you want my forgiveness anymore?”This time, her words reached everyone clearly. They exchanged stunned glances, with some mouths dropped wide open.“Did she just ask Jayden to crawl around the hall five times?” they couldn’t help but ask themselves.“Even though his family has gone bankrupt, he is still the young master of the Jayden family.”Madison ignored them, her gaze focused on Jack. She had no intention of letting him go after what he’d done. “What are you still doing?” she asked Jack, who was still kneeling, mo

    The next day, Hector was in high spirits, despite the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the Edmund family. They were still reeling from the previous day’s events. Abigail was the most affected, with dark circles under her eyes from a sleepless night.Hector, on the other hand, was thrilled that Jack was finally out of his wife's life, and he no longer had to worry about her marrying someone else.He paid no attention to anyone in the house except his wife, whom he helped pick an outfit for her outing, while the rest of the family chose to ignore him. After all, they had severed all ties with the Jayden family in a single day.As he had promised Jack, he lifted their bankruptcy, and news of them retaining their wealth had suffused the internet alongside his public disgrace. That alone left Edmund terrified of what the Jayden family might do to them for allowing one of their members to crawl among guests in the few minutes their family faced bankruptcy.Hector said nothing to them, letting t

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.
