The Astonishing Rise Of Hector Henderson CHAPTER 56
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

Hearing Paul address Hector, Madison turned around to find him standing behind her. She had seen him leave earlier and had no idea he was back. Why did he have to return now, especially with Paul still trying to taunt her?“Oh, it’s a gift from Grandma,” Hector replied, holding up the gift box.Paul pretended to be curious. “And where did you get it from?”“I got it from the gift store,” Hector said, a smile forming on his face. “I think it will suit Grandma perfectly, and I used all the money on my card.”To be honest, Hector had indeed used up all the money he had transferred to his previous bank account. Since he didn’t have a joint account with Madison, it was easier for him to spend it all.“Used up all your money?” Paul demanded, bursting into laughter. “That money wouldn’t even amount to a hundred dollars! How dare you think Grandma would want something you bought with such a meager amount? And from a gift shop, no less!”Mocking laughter filled the room—loud and taunting.“A gi

“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 looks like. I saw it

"Had she just lied?" Hector questioned, his eyes rounding in disbelief.The rest of the guests looked stunned, but no one in the room was as shocked as Madison. The lady had just claimed the fake bracelet was real. Her words were enough to sway the guests, who quickly changed sides.Madison's heart sank. She knew her grandmother was lying; the woman didn’t have an eye for authentic jewelry. Madison had often been tasked with selecting bracelets for gifts before, and her grandmother’s disinterest in such details was glaringly obvious.She stared at her grandmother with wide eyes, disbelief etched in every line of her face.“You must check it properly, Grandma!” Hector pressed, his voice tinged with desperation as he turned to the room. “It is definitely fake and harmful. Are you going to accept a gift like that?”The old lady’s glare was sharp enough to cut through steel as she pointed a trembling finger at Hector. “What do you mean, check it properly? I already examined it under the li

Seeing the hard and expectant look on Hector’s face, Paul flinched and stepped away. The old lady noticed Paul’s avoidance and frowned even more deeply.She couldn’t hear a word of their conversation, but it was clear to her that Hector must have threatened her grandson. So, she spoke up.The old lady wasn’t satisfied. She stepped forward, her cane tapping against the polished floor. “You call that an apology? You still sound arrogant! Where’s the sincerity? Do it again properly!”Hector’s fists tightened at his sides. His patience was wearing thin, but a gentle tug on his sleeve made him glance at Madison. Her wide, pleading eyes softened his resolve.“Grandmother,” Madison interjected, stepping forward. “I think Hector has apologized enough. Let’s not escalate this further. It’s a family gathering, and we should all focus on the celebration instead of this misunderstanding.”The old lady turned her sharp gaze on Madison. “Misunderstanding? Are you saying I’m overreacting? Paul’s repu

Standing outside the building was Hector, holding a phone in his hand as he dialed the number of the people he had instructed to deliver the presents to the party.He had to stop them before they brought the gifts inside. Leaning against the side of the building, he waited for the call to connect.On the second ring, the person finally answered. “Hello, young master. The gifts have already arrived. Is there anything you want us to do?”Arrived? Hector frowned. Since they had already delivered the gifts, he had no choice but to deal with the situation. He was about to instruct them when Madison appeared, rounding the corner to his right. Her expression was somber.Hector, about to end the call, noticed the bruise on her face as she walked closer. The visible handprint on her cheek made it clear what had happened. His frown deepened.Seeing his gaze fixed on the bruise, Madison quickly brushed her hair over her face, attempting to hide it. She looked away.“Are you alright?” she asked hi

Madison stared at Hector with curious eyes. The image of him with another woman lingered in her mind. It was enough evidence to suggest he was seeing someone else, but he had been pure for three years. There was no way he would suddenly start seeing another woman.From the picture, the woman appeared to be an influencer. Although Madison didn’t catch her name, she was curious about their relationship.Hector took his seat next to her and leaned back against the chair.“If you’re talking about the scooter, I got it as a gift,” he admitted. “To be honest, I didn’t expect it. It was so sudden, but it was an apology gift.”“I see,” she replied, relieved he didn’t try to lie about paying for it with his savings.As she looked away, her hair shifted to the side, revealing the mark on her face. Hector reached into his pocket, pulled out a bandaid, and gently placed it on her cheek.“There,” he mumbled.Madison’s head snapped in his direction. “Was it Grandma who hit you?”She shook her head,

"Call them one by one!" the old lady yelled, unable to contain her frustration. "We have to get those gifts back!" For the old lady, giving such a large amount of money meant the gifts were going to be so expensive that the thought of not having them was unbearable. "Make sure to get them to call the men back!" Julia, Fiona, and Abigail exchanged confused glances. None of the men they had contacted claimed to have sent the gifts, and the uncertainty pushed the ladies to the edge. The guests had started murmuring among themselves. "A son-in-law sent those gifts. It must have been a mistake," one speculated. "Was the gift sent to the wrong address? If that's the case, it’s a real blow to the Edmund family." "If only their current son-in-law was that reliable." "Hector, isn’t it? But he’s not even at the party." "He’s not. Are you suggesting he sent the gift? How absurd. He’s just a poor brat who couldn’t even afford a decent present and probably got something from a gift shop."
