THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 109: Tailing his wife!
The audio file from the email echoed in Ethan’s mind relentlessly. No matter how hard he tried to push it away, it only grew clearer, replaying in his thoughts like a cruel torment.He exhaled sharply, forcing himself to find solace in the fact that it was only an audio recording—no visual evidence.But sometimes, words and sounds could be far more excruciating than a video.A video presented a fixed reality. But audio? Audio left gaps—spaces for the mind to fill with its own worst imaginings.And Ethan's imagination was merciless."That bastard, Tony West..."Fury surged through him as he slammed his fist against the sink, the impact rattling through his bones. He had already made up his mind—revenge was inevitable.Maya.Tony.Even Renee.Every single person involved in this betrayal would pay.Then, a nagging thought surfaced in Ethan’s mind.‘Why has Maya been leaving so early in the morning and coming home so late at night?’It didn’t make sense. She was pregnant—she should be re
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 110: Testing and Revenge
Ethan was seething with rage, his fury so intense that he couldn’t think straight. No man in his position would be able to.Without hesitation, he grabbed his phone and dialed Mr. Ferragamo."Mr. Sinclair, what can I do for you?" Ferragamo asked respectfully.Ethan’s voice was laced with venom. "I want Tony West found. Scour every inch of Los Angeles. And when you find him—castrate him."That bastard had humiliated him once, having an affair with Maya while they were married. Then, he had the audacity to run to New York and bring Cayden Huxley into the picture, making a fool of him all over again.He deserved far worse than just castration.Ferragamo hesitated. "Mr. Sinclair, but didn’t you already make peace with the West family? If I recall, Marissa Huxley even… offered herself to you as compensation for her son’s actions. Hasn’t this matter been settled?"He knew Ethan to be a man of his word—someone who never went back on an agreement. If Ethan had given Marissa his word, why was
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 111: Sophie's Evidence
Sophie had amassed millions of fans on Threads, all captivated by her stunning figure and effortless elegance.Today, she was dressed in a refined, sophisticated gown that exuded grace, a stark contrast to her usual bold and arrogant demeanor. The outfit softened her presence, making her seem almost demure.Her makeup was meticulously applied—her lips painted a striking tomato-red shade that matched her flawlessly polished nails."Ethan..."Her voice was soft, almost delicate, as she called his name, her eyes brimming with admiration and something deeper—something more intense.Ethan was well aware of Sophie’s infatuation with him. He had always kept his distance, refusing to entertain any possibility between them.But there was another reason he struggled to look her in the eye.Her brother, Alexander, had a twisted habit of secretly sending him private photos of her—pictures Ethan had never asked for, never wanted. Because of that, being around Sophie always left him uneasy.And yet
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 112: Sophie Dream's
Sophie was no saint either.Before Ethan revealed his true identity as the president of Walt Disney Corporation, she had been even more ruthless than Maya with her mockery and insults.Her claim of secretly loving him for three years? Nothing but a lie.If Ethan had remained poor, Maya might have still kept him around as a backup plan, a second choice. But Sophie? She wouldn’t have even spared him a glance.Ethan’s resolve hardened. ‘Since you think we should be together, and you've gone to such lengths to confess your love to me, then fine—I’ll grant you your wish!’Maya’s betrayal had pushed him into an emotional spiral.At that moment, all he wanted was revenge—on her, on the entire Reynolds family.But then, after ten minutes, Ethan abruptly pushed Sophie away.He couldn't let himself be consumed by impulsiveness. If he allowed things to escalate beyond the point of no return, he would be no better than Maya.Breathing heavily, Ethan sat on the floor and pressed his hands against
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 113: A Date with Clara
"Really?"Clara's excitement was evident—she almost lost her composure.For years, she had endured Maya’s arrogance, watching her flaunt her status as the president’s wife to get whatever she wanted.Clara, on the other hand, had been with the company long before Ethan even became president. She had worked tirelessly, dedicating herself to its growth.And yet, Maya, who had done next to nothing, had the privilege of occupying one of the best offices.A flicker of doubt crossed Clara’s mind. She hesitated before asking, "Mr. Sinclair… is everything alright between you and Maya?"Ethan, of course, couldn’t reveal the humiliating truth about his marriage.He smiled smoothly and said, "Everything is great. In fact, Maya just got pregnant recently, and we’re very much in love. But I’ve realized I’ve been too indulgent with her and, in doing so, I’ve neglected the rest of you here at the office. That’s not the mark of a good leader, is it?"Hearing that, Clara’s suspicions faded, replaced b
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 114: Ethan get kicked out
Cayden crushed his cigarette against the pavement, his temper snapping as he turned on Tony. His voice was raw with frustration. "Screw you, Tony! Stop throwing Maya and your bullshit in my face! You think I don’t want revenge on Ethan Sinclair? I live for it! But do you have any idea what it takes? Money! Power! And guess what? My grandfather won’t give me another damn cent. So tell me—how the hell am I supposed to keep fighting him!?" For the past two days, Cayden had been a shadow of himself—angry, restless, but above all, afraid. He had bolted back to New York, too much of a coward to face Maya Reynolds again. Hell, he couldn’t even bring himself to text her back. Two days ago, he had sworn on everything that he would take her back from Ethan. Now? That promise felt like a joke. But Tony wasn’t ready to let this war end. Not yet. Not like this. "If Grandpa won’t give you the money, then find another way," Tony pushed, his tone sharp. "Ask your parents. Hell, borrow from Shan
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 115: Stepping down as the president
Frank’s words sent shockwaves through the room. Maya and Clara were utterly stunned. Ethan, too, wore a look of disbelief—but unlike them, his reaction was purely an act. "Kicked out of the family?" Maya was far more rattled by the news than even Ethan himself. "Butler Frank, you must be mistaken!" she blurted out, her voice laced with desperation. "How could Ethan possibly be kicked out of the Sinclair family?" She quickly tried to rationalize the situation. "Is Grandpa just upset that Ethan spent too much money last week? Please, tell him we won’t be reckless anymore! We’ll stop trying to save Walt Disney Corporation, I swear!" Frank let out a heavy sigh. "Miss Reynolds, I am not mistaken," he said firmly. "And no, this has nothing to do with money." His gaze darkened as he delivered the devastating truth. "Two days ago, Mr. Sinclair Sr. discovered that the DNA test report for Ethan and his father was forged. Ethan is not biologically related to the Sinclair family at a
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 116: Maya's attitude change drastically
Jade Villa, New YorkLaughter filled the lavish living room as Cayden erupted into hysterics, his voice echoing off the high ceilings."Hahahaha! Ethan Sinclair has stepped down! He’s resigned!" Cayden roared, practically doubled over in amusement. "He lost! I won! I crushed him!"On the massive TV screen in front of them, the press conference replayed on loop. Ethan sat there with a grim expression, publicly announcing his resignation as president of Walt Disney Corporation. He had handed the reins over to Clara Walport, his once-loyal deputy.Tony, however, was even more ecstatic than Cayden.Fueled by adrenaline, he jumped onto the couch with his shoes still on, fists pumping in the air."Unbelievable! Cayden, you did it! You just knocked Ethan Sinclair off his throne and turned him into a nobody!"Cayden smirked, basking in the moment. "Naturally."The two clapped their hands together in excitement, as if they had just witnessed a game-winning buzzer-beater in the NBA Finals.But

Chapter 130: Divorce
Ethan looked at Sophie seriously and said, “Sophie, I’ve known you since you were seventeen. You’re not the kind of girl who throws herself at just anyone.”“Your parents raised you with discipline, and they never even allowed you to date boys. That’s why I think we should just put on a show to fool Maya — nothing more. Once she takes the bait, we stop. Agreed?”Sophie felt a twinge of disappointment, but she was also genuinely moved by Ethan’s integrity.“You’re a good man, Ethan. Men like you are so rare these days. Maya’s a fool for not treasuring you. She doesn’t deserve you,” she said softly. “Alright, I’ll go along with whatever you say.”“Good,” Ethan replied gently, brushing a strand of hair from Sophie’s face with a small smile.After that, he tidied up the shattered wineglass on the floor, then sat back and waited — knowing full well that Maya would be home soon.This time, he was going to give her a taste of her own medicine.At around 3:30 in the afternoon, Maya returned h
Chapter 129: Sophie's opinion
Mimi was a woman of pride and principle.Now that the Reynolds had risen to the ranks of a first-tier family in Los Angeles, every move they made was under the public’s microscope. Their reputation was steadily climbing, and they couldn’t afford even a hint of scandal.If Maya were to divorce Ethan immediately after his expulsion from the Sinclair family, it would spark relentless gossip and speculation. Such a move would damage the Reynolds’ image and jeopardize their hard-earned foothold in the competitive business world.Later that day, Maya returned to the New City residential estate in her sleek Audi. Inside, Ethan sat slumped on the couch, nursing a glass of wine, putting on a show of heartbreak and despair.Feigning nonchalance, he asked Maya about her meeting with Cayden. But Maya, of course, couldn’t reveal the truth. She fabricated a story, claiming she had only spoken to Cayden briefly before being kicked out of his hospital room.‘Really? You, the woman he’s obsessed with,
Chapter 128: I want to divorce Ethan
“They can do whatever they want! I’m divorcing Maya Reynolds anyway. She means nothing to me anymore!”Ethan had repeated those words to himself over and over, trying to convince his heart to catch up with his decision. But no matter how many times he said it, his fingers still betrayed him—dialing Maya’s number at 12:10 p.m.When she answered, he kept his voice calm, pretending as if nothing was wrong.“Maya, where are you? I made lunch. Are you coming home to eat?”From the other end, Maya replied casually, “I’m still at the office. I won’t be coming home for lunch. Just eat without me.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed.Office, huh? If he hadn’t sent someone to follow her, he would’ve believed that lie. Again.‘Three years of marriage, and all she’s done is lie to me… over and over again.’But Ethan didn’t confront her. Not yet.“Didn’t you say you were going to visit Cayden Huxley at the hospital? How did it go?” he asked, maintaining his calm façade.“I did,” she replied quickly. “I apologi
Chapter 127: Chosing Cayden over Ethan
Maya blinked in surprise at his request. “Huh? Lock the door? What if a nurse comes in later?”Cayden flashed a sly, almost devilish grin. “That’s exactly why we should lock it—to make sure no one interrupts. I thought we could have a little pillow talk.”As he spoke, he got out of bed and moved over to the window, slowly pulling the curtains shut. The golden sunlight that had flooded the room vanished, replaced by a soft, muted glow that filled the space with a suggestive, almost intimate atmosphere.Maya understood what Cayden was implying. Her cheeks flushed slightly, a mix of hesitation and awareness flickering across her delicate features. Yet, despite her reservations, she quietly turned the lock on the door.She walked over to the bed and sat down gently. “Cayden, I’m truly sorry my husband hurt you. Are your fingers still in pain?”Cayden looked down at his injured right hand with a helpless sigh. “Pain is the least of it. The real tragedy is that I may never use them properly
Chapter 126: Chop off Ethan fingers for six million dollars
The index and middle fingers on Ethan’s right hand—those were the exact ones he had shattered on Cayden’s hand. It was clear now: Cayden was aiming for a poetic form of revenge, repaying injury with identical injury. He wanted Ethan to suffer the same fate. Ethan couldn't help but let out a cold, amused smile. He actually admired the symmetry in that approach. With a calm tone, he asked, "What did Salvatore say?" Ferragamo replied, "Salvatore agreed. He said he had no choice—if he refused, Shane Huxley would’ve just hired someone else." He added quickly, "But don’t worry, Mr. Ethan. I haven’t ordered any counteraction. You made it clear—no moves against the Huxleys or Wests until you give the green light." "Alright..." Ethan murmured, his voice low. He had no intention of making a move until after the divorce was finalized. He wanted everything to fall into place at the right time. Without another word, Ethan ended the call. But just as he set the phone down, it rang again—this
Chapter 125: Breaking Ethan's fingers
"Honey, how did it go? Is everything okay?" Maya asked anxiously as she stepped forward.Ethan let out a sigh. "I won’t be detained for now, and I can go home. But Cayden Huxley’s finger is broken, so I have to cover his medical expenses. Babe, I don’t have any money right now… I’ll have to use the Reynolds' funds."Maya's expression stiffened. She had always dreamed of enjoying a lavish lifestyle with her husband’s wealth, not the other way around. The idea of using her family’s money on his problems left her clearly displeased.Clara, watching from the side, scoffed in disdain. She knew all too well that the Reynolds had only risen to prominence in Los Angeles thanks to Ethan’s efforts. Without him, they wouldn’t have come this far so quickly.Stepping forward, Clara declared, "I’ll cover the medical expenses."Maya’s face darkened instantly, but before she could respond, her best friend Renee cut in sharply. "Miss Walport, what exactly is your relationship with Ethan? What gives yo
Chapter 124: Precise Revenge
"Ugh, why isn’t he fighting back? He’s just standing there, taking the hits! That’s such a waste of strength!" "What can he do? A poor man hitting a rich man? That’s a one-way ticket to financial ruin. Medical bills might be nothing to the wealthy, but for someone like him, they could mean the end of everything." Though they had retreated to safety, many patrons felt a sense of injustice for Ethan. Some had even pulled out their phones, snapping photos and recording videos—just in case Tony later tried to twist the truth. Meanwhile, Maya and Renee, who should have been worried about Ethan’s well-being, were lost in their own thoughts. Maya’s brows furrowed as she watched the scene unfold. "In the past, Ethan never hesitated to fight back, even against someone as powerful as Alexander. But now, he won’t even lay a finger on Tony. Could it be that he really has been disowned? That he’s completely powerless now?" Doubt crept into her mind. If Ethan truly had nothing left, then stayi
Chapter 123: hit Ethan
Clara’s teardrop landed softly on the Chanel handbag Ethan had once gifted her. The man walking beside her noticed her distress and silently handed her a tissue. “Do you have feelings for him?” he asked, his voice calm yet curious. Clara took the tissue and wiped her tears before letting out a shaky breath. “I let him down,” she admitted. “Despite that, he never held it against me. Instead, he forgave me and even made me his deputy president. When he was forced to step down, he recommended me to take his place. He’s always been incredibly kind to me.” Her voice grew heavier with emotion as she continued, “When the Reynolds family turned against him, I wasn’t able to help. Now, with the Wests and Huxleys targeting him, I still can’t do anything. I hate feeling this powerless.” “If it weren’t for his generosity, I would’ve lost everything. He’s the reason I’m still standing today, the reason I became president. No—" her eyes burned with resolve, "I can’t just walk away. I have to do
Chapter 122: I’m sorry, Ethan
Tony’s face twisted in anger as he jabbed a finger toward Clara."Clara Walport! You think you can teach me a lesson? Who the hell do you think you are!?"This wasn’t the first time Clara had slapped him. Counting the previous incident in her office, this made three.And despite his bravado, he was genuinely afraid of her.Clara stood tall, her icy glare drilling into him. Her presence alone was suffocating."Your father and I are equals in the business world, which makes you nothing more than a junior in comparison. So tell me, why shouldn’t I educate you?" she shot back.Her voice grew sharper, more condescending."Or have you forgotten how your father behaves around me? Giovanni West wags his tail like a dog whenever he sees me. And yet you dare question my authority?!"A wave of laughter spread across the restaurant.Guests sneered at Tony, whispering among themselves.Clara wasn’t just making empty claims. She was the most respected and influential businesswoman in Los Angeles, a
