THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 20: Divorce
Ethan, the sole witness present, was privy to the fact that the person who dispatched the deliveryman with the gift was Richard Jose. It was evident that only the Sinclair family possessed the audacity to entrust a delivery person with an item valued at 1 million dollars. The arrival of this gift at the event left all the guests in a state of astonishment. "This emerald jadeite bracelet stands out as the most extravagant among today's birthday offerings!" "Ms. Julia, to whom do we owe the pleasure of such a generous gift? You must make introductions later." The guests approached Old Ms. Mimi seeking answers. Even she was perplexed, unable to fathom the source of the 1 million dollar gift. "This is puzzling. Every family associated with the Reynolds is accounted for today. No one seems to have been overlooked. So, who could have sent this bracelet?" The members of the Reynolds family exchanged uncertain glances. Sophie's gaze lingered on the million-dollar bracelet, her curiosit
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 21: stay in a five star hotel
Examining the global dissolution document, Ethan let out a deep breath of release. It seemed as though the weight of his bottled-up emotions and dissatisfaction from the preceding three years had lifted."At last, I'm free from the confines of being a resident son-in-law."Stepping out of the legal consultant's workplace, Ethan found himself overcome by a mix of feelings.His upcoming venture would involve delving into the world of business, requiring his full dedication and focus!In that instant, Maya sneered, "Oh, you're not a live-in son-in-law anymore, but an abandoned one! That's even more humiliating than being a live-in son-in-law!""An abandoned son-in-law.""A live-in son-in-law whose wife left him?""Feel free to interpret it however you like!"Ethan chose not to engage further with the pragmatic woman whose love for money overshadowed everything else. He waved for a cab nonchalantly and departed.Maya, consumed by indignation despite being in the wrong, believed she hadn't
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 22: Ethan is a thief
Tony and Maya were completely taken aback by what they saw. The sight before them was beyond their wildest imagination. The man they had once cast aside as their son-in-law was now comfortably settled in a luxurious five-star hotel. The opulence and grandeur of the place seemed almost surreal to them. The price tag for a single night's stay in this lavish establishment was an exorbitant sum, well over a thousand dollars. Tony couldn't help but voice his disbelief, turning to Maya with a look of incredulity. "Maya, are you absolutely certain that he's only had a few hundred dollars to his name all this time?" Tony questioned, his tone a mixture of confusion and suspicion. "Could it be possible that he has been hiding a substantial amount of money from us all along, squirreling it away behind your back over the past three years?" Maya shook her head in bewilderment and replied, "I really don't know... it's possible that he did." Tony, deep in thought, pursed his lips and mused
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 23:The thief of the watch worth 800 thousand dollars
After Clara finished her cigarette, she gracefully rose from her seat and bid farewell to the Reynolds. "Old Ms. Mimi, Mr. Reynolds, I have some matters to attend to at the office, so I must take my leave," Clara announced. Old Ms. Mimi and the others accompanied Clara to the door. "Miss Walport, we are placing our trust in you for the investment," Old Ms. Mimi expressed warmly as she clasped Clara's hand. Clara responded with a smile, "You can count on me. Rest assured." Observing Clara's departure, James decided it was time to bid his own farewell. "Old Ms. Mimi, Mr. Reynolds, we should make our way as well," he announced. As the guests realized a thief was in their midst and the mysterious benefactor who gifted the bracelet remained absent, they gradually dispersed, heading their separate ways. Before long, the Reynolds found themselves alone in the banquet hall. Old Ms. Mimi turned to Ms. Julia with a questioning gaze. "What did Maya say? How is it that we only uncovered hi

"Alexander!!"Despite John's repeated calls, Alexander remained resolute in his decision to ignore him.After enduring two brutal beatings from Ethan earlier that day, Alexander could not bear the thought of provoking him further. The looming threat of a potential third altercation filled him with dread, knowing that it could result in permanent disfigurement.Although John had once been Ethan's father-in-law, their current estrangement severed their familial ties. This newfound distance left John feeling vulnerable and apprehensive, fearing that Ethan's volatile nature could turn his aggression towards him as well.John, unlike Klein, lacked connections to the criminal underworld. Therefore, he opted to reach out to his daughter, Maya, for assistance. He swiftly dialed her number and waited as the phone rang."Maya, are you still at the West Lake Hotel?" John inquired once the call connected."Yes, Dad, I'm still here," Maya responded.With a sense of urgency in his tone, John relaye
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 25: I'm the CEO of Walt Disney
Maya stood frozen in shock as a sense of familiar washed over her. It felt like she had heard that exact phrase somewhere before!After a moment of reflection, she remembered that she had uttered those same words to Ethan just a couple of days ago at the Sunsets Tower Hotel.Two days ago, the scene that unfolded when Ethan unexpectedly entered the hotel room occupied by Maya and Tony West was nothing short of tense. Ethan’s initial instinct was to charge in and confront Tony West, but Maya swiftly interjected, questioning Ethan’s worthiness to even set foot in the lavish surroundings of the five-star establishment.Despite Maya's words, Ethan found himself not merely present in the luxurious confines of the hotel room, but also a legitimate guest entitled to enjoy its comforts.Adding insult to injury for Maya, not only was Ethan present in a presidential suite that Maya had never experienced before, but the grandeur of the suite surpassed anything she had encountered.Complicating ma
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 26: pauper with hundred of million
The remarkable business card featured an exquisite design with dazzling diamonds set in a luxurious black background adorned with striking yellow letters. The sheer opulence of each card was undeniable, with the diamonds alone likely totaling over 30 carats.Astonishingly, the value of each of these extraordinary business cards was estimated at $1,500.Moreover, the business cards were undoubtedly produced in sets, and Walt Disney had personally curated a custom set for Ethan, each set costing almost as much as a house in a third-tier city!Chief Lee accepted the business card from Ethan and was immediately taken aback by the breathtaking diamonds adorning it.Ethan's name was elegantly displayed on the business card, adding a personal touch to its extravagant design. Chief Lee examined the contract card once more and verified that the shares previously owned by the former presidents of Walt Disney had indeed been transferred to Ethan.However, the police officer standing beside him
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 27: Become the CEO
Chief Lee observed Maya and Tony, sensing the unique bond between them.He addressed Maya, saying, "Ms. Reynolds, we cannot make an arrest of Mr. Ethan unless there is concrete evidence implicating him.""If you are insistent on his arrest, kindly provide evidence such as video footage or photographs showing him stealing the watch, or any proof of him selling the watch in exchange for money.""Also, refrain from labeling your ex-husband as a pauper or a good-for-nothing. Remember, you both shared a marriage, and such words can inflict deep wounds," "I speak the truth. If Ethan had shown a bit more competence, maybe we wouldn't have ended up divorced," Maya retorted sharply."It was you who instigated the divorce from Ethan... Mr. Sinclair, am I correct?" With a smug expression, Maya responded, "Yes, I was the one who filed for divorce! I wonder if he's feeling regretful yet?"The police officers, aware of Ethan's true identity, maintained their composure and simply smiled and offere

Shaking his head in feigned disappointment, he spat, “You’re pathetic. You act tough, but the moment real power steps in, you cower. Some man you are!”Ethan’s eyes burned with fury as he shot Tony a glare. His voice was firm and unyielding as he snapped, “Whether I’m the president of a company or a man with nothing to my name, I would never deny something I actually said.”Cayden, though arrogant, wasn’t an idiot. He could tell Tony had likely twisted the truth.But since Tony was on his side, he had no reason to call him out on it.With a smirk, Cayden said, “Fine, even if you didn’t say that, there’s still the matter of my aunt—Marissa Huxley. She spent the night at your villa, didn’t she? And you slept with her!”He took a threatening step forward, his tone turning venomous.“You’re just some punk in his twenties, yet you dared to lay hands on my aunt? That’s a level of disrespect you should die for!”Ethan remained unfazed, his voice cold and steady. “Your aunt did stay at my pla
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
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 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
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
