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
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 117: The enigmatic Sophie.
Seeing John's rude attitude toward Ethan, Miss Julia shot him a sharp glare and snapped, "What could possibly be so urgent? Ethan’s had a long day—let him have his tea first!" John, clearly unimpressed, rolled his eyes at her. In his mind, she was just a clueless woman who knew nothing about the business world. Ignoring her completely, he turned to Ethan and asked bluntly, "I saw the news. You resigned as president of Walt Disney Corporation. Is that true?" Miss Julia’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Ethan, you’re no longer the president?" she asked, still trying to process the information. "Is it because your grandfather wants you to move to D.C. or New York? I’ve always wanted to go to New York! When are you leaving? We’ll go with you!" Clearly, she believed Ethan’s resignation was part of some grand business strategy, an opportunity for him to climb even higher. But Ethan didn’t sugarcoat it. With a sorrowful expression, he spoke plainly: "My grandfather kicked me out
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 118: So this is who she truly is, huh?
Sophie had long been aware of Maya’s affair and had even shown Ethan the incriminating photos of her secret meetings with Cayden. No man in Ethan’s position could simply turn a blind eye to such betrayal. To make matters worse, Ethan had just been expelled from the Sinclair family. But Sophie wasn’t convinced. She suspected that his so-called expulsion was nothing more than a calculated ploy—to push Maya into divorcing him. Determined to win Ethan over, Sophie deliberately ridiculed him for being penniless, hoping to trigger Maya’s materialistic nature and make her feel miserable. The sooner Maya left Ethan, the sooner Sophie could take her place. Suddenly, Mimi slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Haven’t you all had your fill of pointless arguments? Why are we still debating trivial matters like Sophie’s clothes or her love life at a time like this?" The real issue at hand was far greater—whether Ethan would still inherit the Sinclair family's fortune worth tens of billions.

Chapter 123
Of course, Maya was aware that Cayden's compliment was likely directed at her as well. Back in private, she could behave more familiarly with him, but with Ethan present, she had to maintain an air of indifference, keeping her distance.Cayden, observing the subtle dynamics, thought to himself with a smirk, Ethan Sinclair certainly seems to have a way with women. His wife is a rare beauty, and he used to have such a striking subordinate in Clara Walport.Turning his attention back to Clara, Cayden said with a taunting edge, "Miss Walport, you're quite the arrogant one, aren't you? You tried to use your position as the president of Walt Disney Corporation to crush my cousin, even challenging the Wests to take you on."He paused, letting the words sink in. "The Wests may not have the guts to go after you, but the Huxleys aren’t afraid."Cayden’s gaze hardened as he continued, "I was planning to ease up on attacking your company once Ethan Sinclair was out of the picture. But since you’v
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
Chapter 121: A hard slap
When a man falls from grace, the world is quick to turn its back on him.Tony knew that feeling all too well. Once, people had treated him with admiration and respect. But ever since his family neared financial ruin, those same people had severed ties without hesitation, treating him like an outcast.That was why he had no reason to doubt Salvatore’s words.Sensing Tony’s eagerness, Salvatore continued, his voice laced with amusement. “Tony, I’ve heard all about what went down between Ethan Sinclair and your mother. I can imagine the grudge you must hold against him. So tell me, are you planning on getting revenge? If so, go ahead, be bold about it. I won’t get in your way. In fact, if you need some muscle, I can lend you a few of my guys. They’re top-tier fighters—loyal, efficient, and ruthless. But of course, quality service like that doesn’t come cheap.”Tony chuckled, trying to keep his tone casual despite the fire burning in his chest. “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Salvatore. I’ll
chapter 120: Tony West returned to Los Angeles
Maya had never truly loved Tony; she had been with him only because, at the time, he was wealthier than Ethan. But now, as she reflected on his words, she had to admit—there was some truth to what he said. Any man who married her seemed to suffer terrible misfortune. When she was with Ethan, she had betrayed him, shattering the trust in their marriage. When she married Tony, the once-powerful West family had plummeted from prominence, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. And now, after reuniting with Ethan, he had lost everything—his family, his fortune, and his prestigious position. It was almost as if she carried a curse. Tony’s voice was filled with unfiltered resentment. "Maya, answer me honestly—has Ethan really been disowned? Or is he playing another one of his games? That man is a master at faking poverty." Maya let out a sigh, knowing exactly why Tony was so insistent. He had always wanted revenge on Ethan, and now he saw an opportunity. "It’s real this time, Tony. I sw
Chapter 119: Listening in on Maya's phone conversation.
Throughout their three years of marriage, Ethan had cared for Maya unconditionally—every single day. The only exception was the brief period when they were "divorced" and he had distanced himself. But what had Maya ever done for him in return? Back when Ethan held the prestigious title of president at Walt Disney Corporation, Maya had been the perfect, obedient wife—gentle, compliant, and endlessly considerate. Yet, the moment his status crumbled, her attitude shifted entirely. Now that he had been expelled from the Sinclair family, she had reverted to her true self—the woman she had been before their marriage. Did she ever truly love me? Ethan pondered bitterly. If she didn’t, then why did she remember the songs I liked and my favorite foods? Shouldn’t a wife stand by her husband, offering comfort and encouragement when his world is falling apart? As Ethan sat in quiet turmoil, lost in his thoughts, Maya had already made her way to the bedroom. Settling onto the bed, she
