The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 49
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

At the mention of the vice president, all the other members in the meeting snapped their heads toward the door. Their gazes paled as if they had been caught doing something they shouldn’t.‘They look like kids caught stealing lollipops their mother told them not to touch,’ Hector thought, observing their panicked state.“What brings you here, Vice President?” David asked, rising to his feet, his head reflecting a bit of light in the process. “I thought you were going to the hospital to see Henry.”“The hospital?” Harper questioned as she walked over and took a seat next to John. “Don’t tell me you all don’t know he’s dead.”They flinched but quickly regained their composure.“Of course, we know that,” John replied. “We left it to you since there were things in the company that needed to be settled.”“Okay,” Harper responded. “Since I’m here, there’s no need for you to sit in the chair meant for the one carrying the meeting,” she mumbled.“What do you mean?” John asked, not understandin

“He is actually the new shareholder who acquired 21% of the shares,” she announced, not wanting to delay it further.The men rose from their seats in shock, unable to believe what they had just heard. Their eyes bulged, and silence filled the room. The silence was so intense that Hector’s brows arched.‘Was it so surprising that the shares could be acquired?’ he wondered.The housekeeper had been the one who bought the shares while they were available and had asked him to check if the company was to his liking. From their discussion so far, he could tell it was a design company, but he had no idea what kind of design it specialized in.Moreover, he realized the men in the room were only interested in the shares, not the ongoing discussion. He could also tell that John wanted the deceased man's shares and, if he hadn’t overheard them, he wouldn’t have known he had purchased the shares of a dead man.Or was the man alive when the transaction was made? All of that didn’t matter to him at

Hector, seated quietly at the end of the long table, observed the room’s hostility with growing irritation. His gaze moved from one sneering face to the next, lingering on John, who seemed the most vocal of the group.John had blatantly ignored Hector’s remarks about buying the company’s shares, choosing instead to push his own agenda.“Henry had no family, no heirs,” John snapped. “He told me so himself on more than one occasion! This man must be a fraud, a plant. Miss Wells, if this is some scheme to siphon off shares for yourself, it won’t work!”The murmurs around the room grew louder, with everyone voicing their disbelief and distrust.“How can someone like that manage such a substantial stake in the company?”“He doesn’t even look like he belongs here. His clothes are—”“Enough,” Harper interrupted, her voice cutting through the noise like a blade. “Henry made his decisions, and they were final. Whether you like it or not, Mr. Hector is now the second-largest shareholder of this

Meira scowled at him. “Aren’t you supposed to be married to my mother?!” she snapped, her glare unwavering.Hector stared back, utterly baffled. From what he knew, he and Miranda were nothing more than childhood friends who grew up together.“Was I supposed to marry your mother?” Hector asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion. “Who told you that?”Her expression faltered, shifting from confusion to anger. Before Hector could process what was happening, Meira stood abruptly, brushed past him, and slammed the door behind her.Hector sighed, picking up the photo she had knocked over and placing it back on his desk.“What’s going on?” he muttered to himself. “Is taking care of a teenager always this complicated?”He resolved to give her space to calm down before trying to talk it out. Something must have triggered her outburst.Pulling his phone from his pocket, he checked it for messages. Still nothing from Madison, though Abigail had sent a flood of texts. He frowned. Calling Abigail back

Hector frowned as he saw Paul approaching them. Paul was someone Hector could never forget. With his blonde hair and green eyes that matched Madison’s, Paul had a rakish appearance compared to her serious demeanor.Did he just say he moved my scooter? Hector thought. That scooter was a gift from Meira. If it got damaged, she might be upset, and Hector didn’t want that either. He needed to check on it.“Oh, it’s the young master!” one of the onlookers exclaimed when they saw Paul.“I didn’t expect him to be outside while we were searching for him,” a lady added. “I should have checked here first.”The crowd that had gathered around Madison now shifted their attention to her cousin. Paul and Madison never got along, and since he was their grandmother’s favorite grandchild, he often used that to his advantage.Paul loved looking down on others and mocking them. When anyone tried to fight back, he would go crying to their grandmother, who always took his side. Inevitably, anyone who crosse

“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
