THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 1: Good For Nothing Cab Driver
A cab pulls up to the grand entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel, its sleek exterior gleaming under the golden rays of the afternoon sun. The hotel's majestic billboard, adorned with the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel logo, proudly stands guard over the entrance.**"Sir, we've arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel!" A soft, calming voice filled the air, courtesy of Ethan Sinclair, the taxi driver. His words gently broke the steadiness that enveloped the luxury establishment."Thank you," the stranger replied, a hint of relief in his voice. "Could you please help me with my luggage out of the trunk?""Of course," Ethan responded promptly, exiting his cab and assisting the stranger in retrieving his belongings. As he closed the trunk, the stranger inquired, "How much do I owe you?""Two hundred bucks!!" Ethan replied, referring to his standard fare."Here, I'll give you five hundred bucks for the extra effort I put in for you today!!" the stranger said, reaching for his wallet. However, upon exam
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 02: Young Master
Without any warning, the caller abruptly terminated the call, leaving Ethan in a state of bewildered curiosity. He questioned the identity of the mysterious "Young Master" and wondered how an unfamiliar voice had obtained his private phone number.Despite the pain of his wife's betrayal, he pushed it aside and eagerly pressed the down-floor button, longing for the safety of the lobby.As the elevator doors glided open, Ethan stepped out into the vibrant and bustling lobby. His thoughts were consumed by the painful scene of his wife's betrayal, playing on a loop in his mind.Lost in thought, Ethan accidentally collided with a stylishly attired man adorned with sleek black glasses."I'm sorry," Ethan mumbled apologetically. However, the man, his expression concealed behind an inscrutable mask, adjusted himself with composure and silently walked away, leaving Ethan unsettled and unanswered.Moving toward where he parked his cab, Ethan's mind became a whirlwind of apprehension.The unkn
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 3: She Kicked Ethan out
In Ethan's mindscape, digital chimes formed a symphony, harmonizing with the emergence of a serene voice."New Host Founded. Welcome, esteemed Master. I am Amanda, your Ancestral heir System. It is my pleasure to guide you through this grand initiation?""Let's see what you got?," Ethan replied, his voice tinged with both curiosity and trepidation."Initiating system loading sequence. 100%... 90%... 60%... 40%... 20%... 10%... Congratulations, Master! You have successfully unlocked the Ancestor System."The ethereal voice accompanied a mesmerizing display of code materializing before Ethan's eyes. As if guided by an unseen force, the code coalesced into an intricate screen, presenting two distinct options:"Grand Master Legacy.""New Mission""Please select your desired starting point, Young Master."Ethan, his heart thrumming with anticipation, made his choice. "Let's begin with the Grand Master Legacy.""An excellent decision, Young Master. The Grand Master Legacy unveils the rewards
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 4: Let's Get Divorce
The iron gates slammed shut with a clang that echoed through Ethan's bones. Adrenaline still thrumming, he stood up, brushing off the dust that clung to his clothes like a mocking taunt. "You'll regret this," he spat.A guttural laugh from one of the guards cut through the air."Get out of here, loser! No one wants you or your threats."Ethan swallowed the bile that rose in his throat. His mind, a frantic kaleidoscope, ticked away the seconds. 9:46 PM. 59 seconds left. The weight of the timer on his wrist was a physical ache.He stumbled towards his cab, the world blurring into a smear of neon and honking horns. Every stop sign and every red light felt like a personal attack.His mission, once a thrilling gamble, was now a desperate scramble for survival.As he weaved through the city, a flicker of hope caught his eye. A tiny storefront, its window aglow with the warm light of a single bulb. A woman, her face etched with the weariness of a thousand closed doors, sat huddled inside.Et
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 5: Good for Nothing son in law
"I got this for you, Julia," a woman's voice rang out from across the table, belonging to Lena Reynolds, Ms. Julia's sister-in-law. "It cost thousands of dollars!" Lena exclaimed, presenting a gift containing a set of bracelets with a net worth of $400,000.Meanwhile, Ms. Julia's siblings surrounded her, each adorned with unique birthday artwork on their heads, while Maya entered the room carrying a cake with her mom's name elegantly written on it. "Happy birthday, Mom!!!" Maya exclaimed, wrapping her arms around her mother as she sat, her excitement evident on her beaming face."Let's blow out the candle by spelling your name! Ms. Julia" Sophie spoke out, appearing behind Ms. Julia and placing a hand on her shoulder. With her long black hair cascading down her back, Sophie looked stunning at just twenty-five years old.Suddenly, the clink of a spoon against a glass echoed through the room, breaking the excitement that filled the air."More age, my love, in more money?" Old Ms. Mimi
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter:6 Falsely accusations
"What!" Old Ms. Mimi's body quivered with shock at Maya's accusation. Thankfully, Klein reacted swiftly, moving to offer support and comfort to the distressed elderly woman.Old Ms. Mimi erupted in a fit of rage. "He's a despicable beast! We provided him with a luxurious apartment and a fancy car for three years, and yet he couldn't even show loyalty and devotion to you. How dare he engage in such deceitful behavior!?"Maya cunningly played the blame game, falsely accusing Ethan of infidelity to manipulate the situation and win Old Ms. Mimi's trust effortlessly.Maya's adeptness at concealing her true nature allowed her to maintain a facade of innocence and goodness in front of her family.Had Ethan not stumbled upon Maya in the hotel room and witnessed the truth firsthand, he would have continued to believe in Maya's facade of purity and kindness, despite her underlying arrogance.Maya's parents, who had also fallen victim to their daughter's deception, directed their anger towards E
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 7: The Encounter
Alexander arrived at the appointed spot just as Ethan did, his car's sudden rumble catching Ethan's attention as he waited. Stepping out of his cab, Ethan made his way towards Alexander's stationary vehicle, parked with precision near the cab's bonnet. Alexander remained in his car, a commanding presence even without stepping out."Get in. Grandma wants to see you," Alexander stated, his tone carrying a sense of solemnity.Assuming that Old Ms. Mini wished to intercede on behalf of her granddaughter Maya. Ethan's voice hardened as he responded, "Even if your grandmother pleads for Maya, it won't make a difference. I am determined to divorce her."A look of confusion crossed Ethan's face as he heard Alexander's next words. "You fool, what's going through your head? Do you really believe my grandmother is here to plead with you? She's here to enforce the family's traditions and rules upon you!"Thus began an unexpected turn of events, as Ethan realized that the meeting with Grandma Mimi
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter:8 Worthless son in law Ethan
"Unbelievable!" Klein's voice thundered, his eyes ablaze with fury as they locked with Ms. Julia's in a narrow gaze. "You and your worthless son-in-law, how could you allow Alexander to be hurt? You owe me an explanation for this!"The mention of Ms. Julia and her family were necessary because Ethan was their son-in-law, implicating them in the situation. The panic was evident in Ms. Julia and her husband's faces."All that troublemaker does is bring chaos into our lives. The next time I see him, I'll have him arrested!" Ms. Julia snarled with malice."Should we involve the police, Madam?" Samantha inquired tentatively."Silence your tongue, you person with cognitive disabilities!" snapped the old Ms. Mimi."This is a family affair, keep the authorities out of it! I'll ensure he faces the consequences he deserves," Old Ms. Mimi declared firmly before approaching Klein and whispering something in his ear."Klein, I know you have connections with the triads. Enlist their help to give tha

Chapter 136: Custody of the child
Maya stared at Cayden in disbelief. They had never been intimate, so she knew without a doubt that the baby wasn’t his.“What are you saying?” she asked, confused. “If I don’t go through with the abortion, how can we even get married?”Cayden had previously told her he didn’t mind the pregnancy, but also claimed that his grandfather was old-fashioned and would never approve unless she terminated the baby.Now, Cayden took a deep breath, already prepared with an answer. “Maya… I need to be honest. I lied to you.”“Lied to me?” Maya’s expression froze. “About what?”Lowering his head, Cayden put on a guilty, remorseful look. “The truth is… my grandfather doesn’t even know you’re pregnant—or that you’ve been married before. I never told him.”“As for what I said about needing to have an abortion before we could get married… I made that up too.”Maya blinked, puzzled. “But why would you lie about something like that?”Cayden sighed, playing the part of the conflicted lover. “Because I was
Chapter 135: Cayden's plans
“What’s going on, Shane?”Cayden looked at his brother, confused and concerned. They were close, and he could tell something was off. Shane seemed unusually downcast, and it even looked like he had been crying.Letting out a heavy sigh, Shane said quietly, “Cayden, there’s something you need to know. Your symptoms may have eased for now, but the doctors found... side effects.”He hesitated, then continued, “They believe the virus you were infected with may have affected your fertility.”Cayden’s expression froze, the color draining from his face.To a man, losing a finger or even a limb was painful—but losing the ability to have children was a crushing blow to his pride and identity.Physically, he might still appear whole—but in this vital way, he was now broken.“You’re saying... I’ll never be able to father a child?” Cayden asked, grabbing Shane’s arm in panic.Shane tried to reassure him. “Cayden, don’t jump to conclusions. It’s just a possibility, not a certainty. The medical res
Chapter 134: Cayden's infertility
Cayden was in an exceptionally good mood today. He believed he had finally succeeded in toppling Ethan from his role as president of the Walt Disney Corporation, reducing him to nothing more than a broke nobody.Even better, he had forced Ethan to divorce Maya—the woman Cayden had been pursuing—effectively stealing her away.To Cayden, everything was going exactly according to plan.He’d never been one to lose in matters of love, and this felt like just another victory.Although Ethan had injured one of Cayden’s fingers, it wasn’t something that seriously disrupted his daily life.He had trained himself to be ambidextrous, so eating, drinking, or even playing games on his phone posed no issue.After chatting with Maya on the phone for a while, and feeling pleased with himself, Cayden finished his IV treatment and invited her to join him for a round of Call of Duty: Warzone.Cayden couldn’t move the index and middle fingers on his right hand, but luckily, he only needed his thumb to pl
Chapter 133: Castrate Tony West
If Tony and Cayden had stayed in New York, Ethan might have found it harder to deal with them. The Huxley family still held considerable influence there, and Ferragamo and Salvatore wouldn’t have had the freedom to act as boldly as they did in Los Angeles. But Tony and Cayden had foolishly come to L.A., stepping straight into Ethan’s territory. In doing so, they had sealed their own fate. It wouldn’t be Ethan’s fault if they left the city broken and ruined. He dialed Ferragamo and said calmly but coldly, “It’s time. Handle it.” Ferragamo replied, “Understood, Mr. Ethan. Do you want me to eliminate Tony West?” Given that the West family was already nearing bankruptcy and Tony had the audacity to sleep with Maya, getting rid of him wouldn’t take much effort. But Ethan didn’t want to go that far—at least not for now. He remembered Tony’s mother once tearfully begging him for mercy, and he wasn’t completely heartless. “Don’t kill him,” Ethan said flatly. “Just make sure he can never
chapter 132: Revenge was inevitable.
Ethan and Maya locked eyes for a brief moment. She was still breathtaking—whether she was angry, smiling, crying, or even standing in the pouring rain. Her beauty hadn’t faded in the slightest. But Ethan knew—there was no going back for either of them. Maya kept insisting that Ethan couldn’t let go of her past with Tony, but that wasn’t the root of the problem. Her affair with Tony had taken place before Ethan revealed his true identity. It had hurt him deeply, yes—but it wasn’t something he couldn’t have forgiven. The real breaking point had been her entanglement with Cayden. By then, Maya was already his wife—married to the president of the Walt Disney Corporation and poised to become an heir to the Sinclair family. Even if nothing happened between her and Cayden beyond holding hands, that alone was inappropriate and disrespectful. And what hurt even more was how her attitude changed when Ethan lost everything. She treated him differently, coldly, as though his worth had disap
Chapter 131: Last question, are you absolutely sure about this divorce
Maya collapsed onto the ground, one hand clutching her stomach and the other covering her cheek as she broke down in tears. "You hit me? I can’t believe you actually hit me! In all three years of our marriage, you’ve never laid a hand on me—not even when you caught Tony and me together. You were furious then, but you still held back. And now… now you do this?" "Ethan, you’re not a man. You’re a coward—a monster!" It was true—Ethan had never struck Maya before. He had loved her. Even when Clara slapped Maya in the past, it had torn Ethan apart. He’d warned Clara never to touch her again. But now, as he saw Maya instinctively shield her stomach, a realization hit him like a truck—she hadn’t gone through with the abortion. She had lied to hurt him. Shaken, Ethan dropped to his knees and gently gathered her into his arms. "You… You didn’t go through with it?" Maya shoved him away, her voice trembling with rage and pain. "Even if I haven’t yet, I will—right after the divorce!" "And
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
