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

“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

“Kicked out together?” Madison asked herself, stunned that Hector would kick her mother out himself.He had always wanted to earn her mother's favor, so he wouldn’t have done what he did if it were in the past.Instead of getting angry that he had thrown her mother out, she broke into a smile.“I’m glad he’s standing up for himself,” she mumbled, her smile widening.However, the smile disappeared when she heard her mother's voice.“How could you leave me to be thrown out like that?!” Abigail yelled, her desperation intensifying. “I am your mother-in-law!”Hector smiled at her. “You came in with Dan, and you will have to go out with him. If you’re in trouble, ask him for help.”Abigail gritted her teeth. “You! You’re going to regret this.”The guards dragged Dan and Abigail out of the company. Dan wore a frown, still not believing that his friend was fired because of him.“Let me go! You’ll regret touching me!” Dan bellowed. “I am the heir of the Finscourt family! You can’t do this to m

Abigail walked up the stairs, grinning from ear to ear as she disappeared from sight. She had made a plan with Dan, and she was confident it would be successful. She couldn’t wait for the party to begin.“Why did you agree with her?” Madison asked, looking at Hector with a frown. “You should have declined. She’s only trying to use you to get the attention of those companies!”“I know.”“Then why don’t you refuse her?” she pressed, concern etched on her face. “You know they were just doing you favors, right? They can take back their favorability anytime, and they’re presidents of large companies.”Hector appreciated her concern, but he couldn’t help feeling a pang of disappointment. She still didn’t believe him when he told her he was wealthy.“Alright. I’ll take your advice next time,” he said.Madison sighed in relief and smiled. “That’s okay. I’ll head up first.”As Hector watched her ascend the stairs, he couldn’t help feeling confused. They hadn’t talked much in the past, yet now t

Hector stared at the phone screen in confusion. Abigail never called him without a reason. Every previous call from her had been about errands or requests—usually groceries or something trivial.He hesitated, his finger hovering over the screen. Why should he answer? He’d left the house to enjoy a few peaceful days away and focus on himself. He wasn’t about to let her disrupt that.“Young master,” the housekeeper prompted, his voice laced with curiosity. “Aren’t you going to answer the call?”Hector shook his head and silenced the phone. “No, I’m not. We’re meeting in three days anyway. Whatever she has to say can wait.”Turning the phone face-down on the table, Hector refocused his attention on the housekeeper.“Let’s continue with what you were saying,” he said, his tone calm and composed. Whatever Abigail wanted wasn’t his concern right now.The housekeeper blinked but quickly recovered, clearing his throat before continuing. “As I was mentioning, Miranda’s daughter is in the countr

CHAPTER 49They were already inside, and as they approached the counter, Meira adjusted the camera to give her viewers a clear shot of the dazzling jewelry displayed in the glass cases. However, the woman behind the counter fixed them with a sharp, disdainful glare, her lips curling in an obvious sneer.“Excuse me,” the saleswoman drawled, her tone dripping with condescension. “Are you lost? We don’t entertain people who browse without buying, let alone those who clearly can’t afford anything here.”Hector’s brows furrowed, but before he could respond, the woman’s gaze shifted to Meira’s phone, and her expression darkened further. “And put that camera away. This isn’t some tourist attraction. We reserve our merchandise for serious clientele, not wannabe influencers looking for free publicity.”Her eyes flicked over Hector’s casual outfit with a sneer. “Honestly, I don’t even know why security let you in. If you’re not here to make a significant purchase, I suggest you leave—immediately

The saleswoman's eyes widened in disbelief as she quickly glanced at the other two salespeople, who were also taken aback by Hector's request. For a moment, the entire store seemed to pause in anticipation.“Two... two pieces?” she repeated, still not fully comprehending what he had said. “Of the pearl tear necklace...?”Hector nodded, unfazed by her shock. “Yes. Two. Is there anything wrong with my request?”The saleswoman hurriedly shook her head. “No. There isn’t! I was just surprised, that’s all.”Meira’s jaw dropped slightly, though she quickly masked it with a neutral expression. She knew Hector was wealthy, but the sheer confidence he exuded in making such a bold request made other people both impressed and slightly overwhelmed.“Uncle, you should have made your order like that,” she whispered. “It would make others overwhelmed.”He glanced at her. “Is that supposed to be my business?”“You should be more considerate of other people who aren’t as rich as you are.”The saleswoman

As soon as Hector drove Meira back to the hotel where she was staying, she turned her head to glare at him.“Why are we here?” she questioned, not understanding why he had brought her back to the hotel.“This is where you’re staying, isn’t it?” he asked.Her frown deepened. “Didn’t you see my luggage, Uncle?” she inquired. “I canceled my reservation at the hotel because I heard you were going to pick me up. Since Mom doesn’t want me staying in the same house as her, I thought I’d stay with you.”Hector was taken aback. “Wait…what?”It wasn’t strange to him that she wanted to live with him; it just surprised him that she mentioned her mother before asking.“Mom said you were going to pick me up.”“It was only for today,” he replied. “I told her I’d just be your guide for the day, not beyond that.”Hearing this, a soft expression appeared on Meira’s face. “Is that how much you hate me, Uncle?” she asked, her eyes flickering with sadness. “Don’t you feel bad for leaving me when I was a ki

“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
