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

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

Ethan snapped back to his senses and said, "I'm Ethan Sinclair, the New president of Walt Disney organization." Ashley Sarah's jaw dropped, and her mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr Sinclair! I'm too stupid. Since you had the key to the door, you must be the president!

THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 30: Clara Walport unsettling experience
Clara had always been the undisputed idol of the female employees at the company. Her legendary status stemmed from her extraordinary ability to make even the most powerful corporate presidents seem insignificant. No matter how rich or influential these men were, they seemed to shrink in her presence.Every woman in the office aspired to emulate Clara’s commanding presence and effortless control over even the most obstinate executives. The fascination was not just about her authority but about how effortlessly she could bend the most powerful figures to her will.There was a particularly notorious president from a billion-dollar partner company who had a reputation for causing chaos and evading any form of restraint. His behavior had left the office staff powerless and frustrated—until Clara intervened. In a stunning display of dominance, Clara had subdued him with such swiftness and precision that within two minutes, he was on his knees, compelled to put her shoes on for her.The ent

Outside the door... Sarah and the other two girls watched in stunned silence.They covered their mouths, unable to believe what they were seeing.“How could this happen?” one whispered in disbelief.“Mr. Sinclair isn’t kneeling before Miss Walport; it’s the other way around!” another gasped.“It didn’t even take a minute! As soon as they met, Miss Walport was on her knees!” a third exclaimed.The trio’s amazement grew as they realized that Ethan Sinclair’s charm and authority were so overpowering that even Clara, who usually held herself in high esteem, was compelled to submit. Hearing the commotion outside the door, Ethan peeked through the gap, causing the startled trio to flee in a panic.Ethan then approached Clara, who remained kneeling, and looked down at her without offering any help. With a slight smile, he said, “Miss Walport, why are you kneeling before me so soon after we’ve met? I can’t accept such a grand gesture from you.”Clara, feeling a mix of embarrassment and fru
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 32: You will address me as Miss Walport
Ethan's mind was set on overturning the established hierarchy in Los Angeles. Whether it was the hotel magnate, the restaurant mogul, or the delivery service owner, he planned to dismantle the dominance of these influential figures who had controlled the city for years. Among them, Tony was the first person who came to Ethan’s mind. Tony was a particularly bitter memory for Ethan, as he recalled his ex-wife Maya's taunts. “Look at Tony. His family is worth over a billion dollars. Can you even compare to him, you good-for-nothing?” she had said.Ethan's jaw tightened as he spoke to Clara. “I’ve heard that the West family is one of the top-tier families in Los Angeles, worth over a billion dollars. Is that true?”Clara responded, “You could say that. The West family was worth over a billion dollars two years ago, but their net worth has significantly dropped. They’re now probably worth around 500 million dollars, not much better than the Reynolds.”As Clara recalled Ethan’s claim from

Chapter 92: Meeting Grandaunt Lily
Maya was at a loss for words, finally realizing that it seemed inappropriate to drink champagne on such an occasion.Champagne was usually drink during celebratory event like weddings or when one's favorite's sports team has won a championship.Who would pop champagne when a relative is on her deathbed? Maya silently put away the champagne and said, "Hubby, can I connect my cell phone to the Bluetooth speaker of the car? I want to play a song in my playlist." Maya and Ethan had slightly different tastes in music. The trip this time would take close to two hours, and it'd be agonizing for her if they kept playing songs she disliked. Ethan would never force others to listen to the song he liked. Hence, he allowed Maya to connect her phone to the Bluetooth player and play her preferred songs.To his surprised, the first song that Maya played after connecting her phone to the Bluetooth player of the car was 'A thousand Reason to be Sad.' The familiar piano prelude instantly reminded b
Chapter 91: Ethan identity have be exposed for long
"No, no! Not like how we used to be! We have to act like a loving couple—completely affectionate with each other!"Maya’s voice trembled as tears welled in her eyes. She immediately regretted her words, realizing she had reminded Ethan of how poorly she had treated him in the past.Ethan chuckled, though his laughter held a tinge of sarcasm. "I don’t think that’s necessary. We can simply tell her we’re still married. No need for an elaborate act."Truthfully, Ethan had no objections to the idea of pretending. In fact, he might have suggested it himself even if Maya hadn’t. He knew how much Lily had wanted their marriage to last, and with her on her deathbed, learning they were divorced would only bring her heartbreak.Considering that Lily had once saved his life, Ethan couldn't bring himself to let her pass away in sorrow.Maya quickly insisted, "No, it’s absolutely necessary! Grandma told us that Grandaunt Lily found out about your real identity a long time ago. She also knows about
Chapter 90: pretending to be married
To create an opportunity for Maya and Ethan to reconcile, Old Ms. Mimi decided to use Lily’s critical condition to her advantage. The only uncertainty was whether Ethan would agree. After all, he had already divorced Maya and severed ties with the Reynolds. He had no obligation toward them, let alone a distant relative like Grandaunt Lily. Because of this, Klein and his children weren’t optimistic about the plan. Maya’s mother, Julia, sighed and said, "Maya, I know you’re hopeful, but don’t get ahead of yourself. Ethan has become so coldhearted. He left you standing in the rain for two hours without a second thought, and he even tried to set you up with a disabled man. Do you really think he’ll agree to pretend you’re still married—for your sake?" Maya bit her lip, silently acknowledging that Ethan had indeed grown ruthless. But despite her doubts, she gathered her courage and dialed his number. At that moment, Ethan was still at The Timeless Restaurant, finishing his meal with

"Mr. Ethan…!"Liam and Butler Frank tensed as Maya splashed water onto Ethan’s face.As his subordinates, they felt responsible for failing to prevent such an offense against their master.Butler Frank quickly apologized, bowing his head. "This is my fault. I’m getting old and powerless… and Liam can’t stand to intervene either."Ethan remained composed, casually picking up a napkin and wiping his face. "Don’t worry about it. The water wasn’t even cold. Besides, I expected her to react this way."He had deliberately provoked Maya to ensure she understood—there was no future between them.---After storming out of The Timeless Restaurant, Maya immediately called Renee.Renee had only just driven away, but upon hearing Maya’s voice, she turned the car around and returned to pick her up, taking her straight to Old Ms. Mimi’s villa.As soon as Maya walked through the door, her family gathered around, eager for details about the dinner.Still fuming, Maya recounted everything that had happ
Chapter 88: Setting a blind date for his ex
Maya was so thrilled that, in her mind, she already saw herself as Ethan’s wife.'If Butler Frank is Ethan’s servant, that means he’s mine too.'With that thought, she turned to him and said, “Butler Frank…”Ethan’s expression darkened slightly. He had expected her to address him properly as Mr. Romano Reyes, not so casually as Butler Frank.Ethan himself could speak to him that way because Butler Frank was his subordinate—but Maya had no such privilege.Without the slightest hesitation, Maya continued, “Butler Frank, I’m flattered by your kind words. Since Ethan considers you family, I’ll do the same from now on. You don’t have to worry about a thing.”Ethan nearly laughed. The way she spoke made it sound as if she were bestowing Butler Frank some grand favor—like she was magnanimously declaring she wouldn’t treat him as a mere servant once she became the mistress of the household.Butler Frank, ever the humble man, simply nodded politely. “Thank you… thank you.” Though he knew Maya

Chapter 86: sleeping over
Ethan stared at Marissa, utterly baffled, unable to grasp her intentions.Marissa rose from the ground, her expression transforming completely. Determination burned in her eyes, as though she had resolved to risk everything, even her dignity, for her cause."Mr. Sinclair," she began, her voice steady despite the weight of her words, "Giovanni, Tony, the Walt Disney Corporation staff, and those from the West’s company all know I came here to meet you today."Ethan nodded, his tone indifferent. "I know that. So what?"Marissa took a deep breath, then suddenly said, "I can stay here tonight."Ethan froze, utterly taken aback by her statement. What a brazen thing to say!It was in that moment he finally pieced together her meaning.The scandal of Tony sleeping with Maya—Ethan’s ex-wife—had been a public humiliation, tarnishing Ethan’s pride and reputation as the president of the prestigious Walt Disney Corporation. But if Ethan were to sleep with Tony’s mother, Marissa, the narrative woul
Chapter 85: Blind date
Three years ago, Sophie was just a high school girl with a petite and modest appearance, far from the alluring figure she had now developed.Back then, Ethan had always viewed her as a younger sister and never entertained any inappropriate thoughts about her. However, things had taken an uncomfortable turn recently.Alexander, ever the troublemaker, had been sending Ethan provocative photos of Sophie—images she hadn’t even posted on her Instagram. Each picture was more seductive than the last, leaving Ethan increasingly unsettled.Now, Ethan avoided even glancing at Sophie. Those photos lingered in his mind, and he found himself battling thoughts he knew were entirely inappropriate.The very idea made him feel despicable. Regardless of how attracted he had been to Maya, it had been within the bounds of marriage. But Sophie? That was entirely off-limits.Resolute, Ethan ignored Sophie’s attempts to engage him and left the villa without looking back.As he walked to his car with Lucky s
Chapter 84: reconciling
Ethan glanced at the bracelet but didn’t reach for it. "I don’t take back what I’ve already given. And let’s make one thing clear—I wasn’t freeloading off the Reynolds these past three years. I don’t want anyone thinking otherwise."His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. The Reynolds had supported him during his time as a live-in husband, and Ethan wasn’t about to let them weaponize that against him now.Old Ms. Mimi gave a small nod of acknowledgment and took the bracelet back. She had always admired it, viewing it as a prized possession from her “formal son-in-law.” Now that she knew it was a gift from Ethan, she had been eyeing it with even more affection.As Ethan adjusted Lucky in his arms, he said flatly, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.""Wait!" Maya called after him, her voice soft but insistent. "I’d like to speak with you alone. It won’t take long."Before Ethan could respond, Miss Julia chimed in eagerly, "Yes, Ethan! You’ve barely been here a moment.
