The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 38
Hector bought the last items he needed and hefted the bags in his hands. Glancing at his wristwatch, he frowned—it was already time for Madison to get home, and he still hadn’t finished shopping.Quickening his pace, he exited the store and headed to the last stop, where he intended to buy her favorite food—crab.As he approached the store, a man stepped into his path, blocking his way. The man was tall and broad, casting a shadow over Hector. He looked down at him with a mischievous grin.Before Hector could react, three more men joined, each wearing the same cocky expression.“Who are you?” Hector asked, his voice calm as he barely glanced at them. “I don’t have time for this. Move aside.”The men exchanged amused looks, their smirks widening.“We were told to keep you here as long as possible,” one said. “But we can let you go—for $20,000.”Hector raised an eyebrow, meeting their gaze with a frown. He didn’t recognize them, and their demands made no sense.“Why $20,000?” Hector aske

CHAPTER 39As soon as the words left Hector’s lips, Dan flinched. The sight of Hector was far more intimidating than he’d anticipated. It was as if he were a rat standing before a tiger.“Hector!” Madison yelled.Without thinking, Madison rushed over to Hector and hid behind his back, clutching his shirt. It wasn’t until a moment later that she realized what she was doing.Hector, stunned by her actions, remained still. He’d heard about how she stood up for herself in his absence, but her trembling hand on his shirt told a different story.His glare sharpened as he turned to Dan. “Can I know what’s happening here?” he asked coldly. “What were you discussing before I arrived?”Dan’s initial intimidation morphed into anger, and he gritted his teeth. Why am I scared of a loser? He thought bitterly.“Who are you?!” Dan demanded, attempting to shake off his fear. “How dare you question me? Do you have a death wish?!”Abigail sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “Why are you back so soo
The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 40
Peering at Dan, Hector couldn’t understand how Dan dared to enter the house and boldly propose to Madison. It made him realize she must have dealt with this alone, even with her mother—who should have been on her side—siding with a man brazen enough to propose to a married woman.He had come to see how shameless the men in the city were, openly courting married women without hesitation. Hector noticed right away that Madison seemed uncomfortable with Dan, and his gaze shifted to Abigail.‘Why is she forcing this situation?’ he wondered. ‘Is she that obsessed with money?’Dan frowned and folded his arms, resisting the urge to punch Hector. Once again, Hector had ignored him, but this time, Dan wasn’t going to let it slide like before.“Madison claims you’re her husband, yet you don’t even have a job,” Dan taunted. “Is that how useless you are? I even went out of my way to offer you a job, but I guess you’re too proud to take it.”Hector remained silent, and Dan’s anger bubbled over.“To

Hearing the guards' voices, Dan stopped and turned to face them. A wide grin spread across his face when he saw the guards blocking Hector’s path.“Oh my, is someone having trouble getting in?” Dan asked, feigning cluelessness as if he hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.Madison turned toward the commotion and saw the guards obstructing Hector. She instinctively moved to intervene, but Abigail quickly stopped her.“Look, Madison, can’t you see the difference between your loser husband and Hector?” Abigail said, her voice dripping with mockery. “Dan walked in without issues and was even greeted at the front door. But Hector? He’s being treated like a beggar. Is that the man you want to spend the rest of your life with?”Madison gritted her teeth and glanced at Hector. Despite the situation, his expression remained calm. ‘If only he had listened to me, this wouldn’t be happening,’ she thought.She hesitated, unsure whether to help him. After all, he had claimed he could handle things
The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 42
As soon as Jerry referred to Hector as a driver, a sly smile of satisfaction spread across Dan’s face. This was exactly what he wanted. Jerry was addressing them according to their perceived status. It was more than enough to highlight the difference between him and Hector.“He is indeed the one who came here for a job,” Dan muttered, leaning back against his seat. “Since he happens to be a friend of my future wife, I intend to give him a job to help him out.”Jerry gave Hector another once-over before turning his gaze back to Dan. “I don’t think we have a job in this company that would suit someone like him.”Someone like him? Madison frowned. “This isn’t going to end well,” she mumbled under her breath.Dan sighed. “I knew you’d say that. He does look shabbily dressed. Compared to the other qualified candidates, he’s… quite different.”Jerry’s eyes sparkled, reflecting Dan’s mocking gaze. “Different? How is he different?”Hector stared at both men. He’d heard that Dan knew someone in

Dan’s annoyance grew even more when he heard Abigail yelling at Hector. He knew he could count on Abigail to put Hector in his place. She was one of the few people he was genuinely grateful to have met during his visits to the family home—his future mother-in-law.“I said I would find a job myself,” Hector said defensively. “Since I don’t want the job of a cleaner, I’d rather leave.”Abigail glared at him. “Didn’t you hear me say that as long as you refuse the job, you can forget about being my son-in-law?”Hector shook his head, tilting it slightly to the side. “Madison never agreed to a divorce. You’re the one forcing her into it.”Abigail’s teeth clenched in anger. “You… How dare you talk back? Are you courting death?”Before the tension could escalate further, Dan stepped between them. “How can you turn down a job offer from a company like Coaxed?” he asked sharply. “Do you think a company like this would even look at you if it weren’t for me?”Hector remained calm. “I can find a j
The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 44
The man who had just kicked the door open was Mr. Barney, the chairman of Coaxed Company. A middle-aged man with a full head of dark hair, almost too much for his age, exuded authority as he stepped into the room.His sharp eyes, blazing with fury, landed on Jerry. The younger man turned pale, confusion etched across his face as he struggled to process the chairman’s sudden appearance.‘What’s the chairman doing here?’ Jerry wondered, his thoughts spiraling into panic. The chairman rarely made personal visits; instead, he relied on his assistant for such matters. ‘Have I done something wrong?’The mere possibility made Jerry’s legs tremble. If he had offended the chairman in any way, there was no chance he’d escape the consequences.“Jerry Robin!” Mr. Barney’s voice thundered, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Do you want to die?! How dare you be rude to a guest?!”Jerry flinched at the sheer force of the chairman’s voice. He hadn’t seen or spoken to Mr. Barney in years, as there had be
The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 45
“Him?” Dan questioned immediately, turning to look at Hector. “Are you telling me the chairman’s guest is that man in shabby clothes?”Carlos nodded. “He is indeed the guest of the company, and you are not!”Carlos was blunt, never one to sugarcoat his words. In fact, he was brutally honest to the point it often hurt.Madison and Abigail’s jaws dropped. Abigail couldn’t believe it—Dan wasn’t the chairman’s guest, but Hector was.“How does that even make sense?!” Abigail muttered before she could stop herself. “How can a loser like him be the guest of the company? There must have been a mistake!”Hector sighed and looked away, his expression unreadable. He could tell they wouldn’t act like this unless they already knew his identity. That worked for him, as he preferred to let them handle the situation instead of stepping in himself.“There is no mistake, woman! Please do not interfere in our matters,” Mr. Barney said firmly, though he tried to sound polite. “I said he is the guest. Do y

“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
