THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 34: Crowd at the parking lot!
Maya’s frustration boiled over as she considered confronting Ethan and Clara directly. She longed to demand answers from Ethan about why he had kneeled for another woman and not her, and to accuse Clara of stealing what she felt was rightfully hers.Old Ms. Mimi, however, glared at Maya with disapproval and asserted, “Enough of your tantrum. Call Clara Walport. I want to speak with her personally.”Klein immediately complied, pulling out his cell phone and dialing Clara’s number with a swift motion. He handed the phone to Old Ms. Mimi, who took it with a resolute expression, ready to address the situation herself.Despite Old Ms. Mimi’s underlying anger, her voice remained calm and composed, reflecting her years of experience and dignity. She spoke with a measured authority, making her displeasure clear without losing her poise.“Miss Walport, I understand that Ethan has become your bodyguard. Had I known you had taken such an interest in him, I would have gladly offered him to you si
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 35: The hard slap
Ethan was wearing an immaculate Dior suit with his hair combed to the side. He was now chatting merrily with Clara.If Ethan weren't her ex-husband, Maya would have mistaken him for the domineering president of a company as she watched him stride over."This jerk dressed himself up so handsome after divorcing me!"Maya felt a pang of jealousy. If she had known that Ethan could look so much like a commanding executive, she would have insisted he wear a suit and tie throughout their marriage.Maya watched from a distance, feeling a pang of envy as she realized how impressive Ethan looked. If only she had been able to show him off at gatherings with her former classmates.Meanwhile, Ethan said to Clara, "Clara, pass me the car keys. I'll drive. Since you're wearing heels, it won't be convenient for you to drive."Clara had a pair of flats in her car that she usually changed into for driving. However, she felt that changing shoes in front of Ethan might seem awkward, so she handed the car
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 36: Salvatore brothers
Seeing Maya sobbing pitifully, Ethan felt a pang of emotion. He had treated her like royalty during their marriage, always attentive and protective, ensuring she was never upset or mistreated. The sight of her now, so distressed and vulnerable, was a stark contrast to the pampered life she had once enjoyed. In the past, Ethan would have fiercely defended her if anyone had dared to lay a hand on her. Yet, he understood that Clara's slap was a gesture of support for him and a reflection of Maya's own actions. Despite his empathy, Ethan couldn’t ignore that Maya had brought this upon herself with her behavior and choices.Ethan placed a reassuring hand on Clara's shoulder and said gently, "Forget it." Turning to Maya, he added firmly, "Leave. I’m no longer your man."Maya abruptly stopped crying, her tears drying up in an instant. The facade of her emotional vulnerability had always been carefully guarded from Ethan. "Even if I no longer want a dog I've raised for three years, I won't
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 37: Ethan still in love with me!
Even after driving out of the underground parking lot of the downtown office building, he could still hear Maya crying and whining. Maya had always been pompous and arrogant, so she clearly couldn't take being slapped in public. While driving, Ethan spoke to Clara, who was beside him. "Clara, you don't have to interfere in Maya and my affairs. "Do not slap her again." Clara could see Ethan was heartbroken for his ex-wife!Clara replied: "Yes, Mr Sinclair, but don't you hate her for treating you that way?" Ethan smiled and continued, "Love is the antithesis of hatred. Without love, how can there be hatred?" Clara no longer considered Ethan to be an inexperienced young man after hearing his quite thoughtful statements. As the scion of a distinguished family, his expertise and ideas were not to be overlooked. Ethan was gorgeous, came from an affluent family, had a unique perspective, and was very magnanimous and devoted to women. Clara started to fall for him.'I must win his heart!'
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 38: Not to visit the Reynolds villa
Ethan stepped into the office, his mind racing with thoughts of the previous evening. He and Clara had visited a trendy rooftop bar, but their interaction remained strictly professional. They quickly returned to work, leaving the lively atmosphere behind.As Ethan moved through the office, employees greeted him with a chorus of “Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.” He acknowledged them with a nod, his focus already shifting to the day’s tasks.Just as he was about to settle into his office, his phone buzzed. Alexander’s name flashed on the screen. Ethan frowned and answered the call, bracing himself for whatever urgent matter awaited.Alexander commanded, “Ethan, come to my grandmother’s place immediately. I’ve found evidence that you sold the watch you stole from us!”Ethan replied, “I’m too busy for that.”Alexander, growing impatient, retorted, “Ethan Sinclair, are you too scared to come? We’ve invited the person who bought the watch from you to our place. If you have any courage, come her
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 39: it’s time to let them know the truth
Old Ms. Mimi, a woman of immense wealth and influence, commanded respect both within her family and the broader community. Her assets were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and her authority was unquestioned. However, she was deeply angered by Ethan’s persistent provocations and was determined to make him submit to her authority.At that moment, as she held her poodle, Lucky, in her arms, the dog suddenly leaped out and dashed towards Ethan.“Lucky!!”Ms. Mimi exclaimed in surprise, urgently calling for her pet. But Lucky ignored her and continued running towards Ethan.Ethan picked up Lucky with a broad smile, the poodle’s tail wagging furiously as it licked his hand with unrestrained joy. For the past three years, Ethan had been the one to meticulously care for Lucky. He cleaned up after the dog, took it to the vet for vaccinations, and nursed it back to health whenever it fell ill. This consistent care had forged a strong bond between them, making Ethan the person Lucky felt c
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 40: true behind Maya marriage
Ethan found himself surrounded by eight adversaries, yet he remained remarkably composed. His calm demeanor wasn’t due to overconfidence but stemmed from his acute awareness of the vast difference between true professionals and mere amateurs.While his opponents might be considered skilled compared to the average person, they were novices when measured against those seasoned by years of combat and the grim reality of death.Ethan’s journey in martial arts began in his childhood, honing his strength and skills to a high level of proficiency. However, his true edge lay in the legacy of his family’s Ancestral System, a heritage that endowed him with unparalleled abilities.Four years ago, a year before Ethan became the live-in son-in-law of the Reynolds family, his own family had sent him to Syria for an extended period. This experience was meant to harden him, to prepare him for the challenges ahead.The eight men standing before him now, despite their frequent brawls, lacked the lethal
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 41: meeting with Mr Sinclair
The Richard Mille watch and a few antique paintings in the Reynolds’ basement held no significance for Ethan. The only thing he couldn’t bear to part with was Lucky, the poodle he had cared for over the past three years, as it was the only one that showed him gratitude.After Ethan’s departure, Salvatore and his men left the villa in a disheveled state. Once inside the car, Alexander hurried over, expressing his gratitude to Salvatore for keeping his secret, even after being beaten.“Salvatore, are you alright?” Alexander asked, looking embarrassed.Salvatore, enraged, responded, “How dare you give me such a difficult task! You must pay me an additional $150,000 and cover my men’s medical expenses!”Alexander replied, “Money is not an issue, as long as you can teach Ethan Sinclair a hard lesson. Are you planning to kill him?”Salvatore waved dismissively and said, “I’ll handle it. I’m in a hurry and need to leave now.”He then quickly drove away in a commercial vehicle.After leavin

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.
Chapter 83: The Ancestral Rules
Ethan ignored Old Ms. Mimi entirely, even though she was the matriarch and commanded immense authority in the Reynolds family. His presence here wasn’t for their sake but for Lucky’s."Where’s Lucky?" Ethan asked curtly, directing the question at Alexander—the only Reynolds he was willing to address directly.Alexander immediately replied, "Lucky is inside with Maya."Miss Julia stepped forward, eager to explain. "Ethan, don’t hold it against Maya for not coming out to greet you. She was on her knees for so long yesterday that she needed hours of emergency care at the hospital. She’s only just started to recover and can’t walk yet."Ethan knew Maya’s constitution well. She was indeed delicate and prone to fatigue. However, the claim of hours-long emergency treatment sounded exaggerated. For the three years they had been married, Ethan had been the one meticulously looking after her. He understood her health better than anyone else.Without commenting further, Ethan strode into the ho
Chapter 82: bond between Ethan
The Reynolds family collectively experienced a moment of realization.They finally understood the purpose behind Old Ms. Mimi’s seemingly cruel actions.For the past three years, Ethan had spent the most time with Lucky, the poodle. Lucky was the only member of the Reynolds household who had never judged or looked down on him.From Ethan's previous visits, it was clear how strong their bond was. Lucky's loyalty and affection toward Ethan stood out, something no other family member could replicate.Old Ms. Mimi recognized this and knew Lucky was the only leverage they had to draw Ethan back to the Reynolds' home. Her own influence, or anyone else’s in the family, paled in comparison to that little poodle.Though it was already three in the morning and still raining heavily, the Reynolds family remained wide awake, their minds racing with plans.Meanwhile, John couldn’t sleep either, though his sleeplessness had nothing to do with family matters—it was because he was following his mothe
Chapter 81: The feminists nurse
Whether a nurse, doctor, pilot, or entrepreneur, all humans carry within them a natural inclination to empathize, especially with members of their own gender. The female nurse, however, took this inclination to another level, fueled by her staunch feminist beliefs and an active online presence where she advocated fiercely for women’s rights.In her eyes, Maya was nothing short of extraordinary—a vision of beauty that transcended the ordinary. She regarded Maya as a goddess, someone who deserved to be cherished and adored, not humiliated or made to beg for forgiveness."Men should treasure women like her. How dare he treat her with such cruelty, forcing her to kneel and plead? It’s appalling!" the nurse thought indignantly, her judgment of Ethan growing harsher by the second.This nurse had a history of calling out men she deemed unworthy or unjust. Her Instagram following, a strong network of feminists, often supported her lengthy, passionate posts. One notable instance was when she c
Chapter 80: she passed out
Renee, acting as Maya’s trusted “adviser,” had one primary strategy: relentless persistence. She firmly believed that persistence was the key to winning Ethan back.With her vast experience in relationships, Renee had a deep understanding of men. She knew that while many men appeared tough and unyielding, their resistance often crumbled when faced with a determined and remorseful woman—especially one as beautiful as Maya.Feigning surprise, Renee strolled back to the villa, her voice calm yet insistent. "Ethan, look at Maya. She’s on her knees again, begging for your forgiveness. You know as well as I do that she won’t give up."She gestured toward the sky. "I just checked the weather forecast. A heavy downpour is on the way. What will you do if it starts raining and she still refuses to get up?"Her tone softened, appealing to Ethan’s compassion. "For three years, you cared for her so well. She’s never fallen ill under your watch. Do you really want her to catch a cold out there in
Chapter 79:I won’t get up until you forgive me
Maya stood in the villa, her gaze fixed on the surroundings, her heart heavy with regret.She tugged at Renee's sleeve, her voice soft and playful."I love Iron Man too! And this staircase is amazing!"Renee sighed, shaking her head. "You’re hopeless."Before they arrived, Renee had explicitly told Maya to stay composed while she worked to create a moment for them to be alone with Ethan. But Maya couldn’t seem to control herself.Ethan led them on a tour of the second floor, leaving both women wide-eyed with amazement.Renee finally asked, "Ethan, where’s your bedroom? We’d love to see it.""It’s on the third floor. Come on."Ethan guided them upstairs. His bedroom door was plain but sturdy. As he pushed it open, a cool breeze flowed out, sending a slight chill through the trio.The windows were open, letting the crisp night air in. Ethan turned on the lights using a sleek touch panel, illuminating the room. It was immaculate—simple and elegant, with no unnecessary decorations.The be
Chapter 78: I don't care Ethan's mine
Ethan huffed dismissively and took a sip of his champagne, turning his gaze away to the left to avoid acknowledging her presence.'How does this shallow, materialistic woman have the audacity to sit in my car and share a drink with me?' he thought with disdain. 'She must be out of her mind.'Meanwhile, Maya, holding her now-empty glass, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Ethan's deliberate indifference left her mortified.From her seat up front, Renee remained oblivious to the awkward tension simmering in the back. She had no idea what Maya was enduring at that moment.In under two minutes, the car smoothly came to a stop. The chauffeur promptly stepped out to open the door for Ethan. Without a word, Ethan exited the vehicle and gestured for both women to follow him into the villa.The moment they stepped inside, both Maya and Renee froze, their breaths caught by the sheer elegance surrounding them.Though both women came from affluent families and had experienced their fa
Chapter 77: Wining Ethan heart
After finalizing the divorce papers, Maya immediately sought out Renee, her confidante and adviser, to help her strategize a way to win Ethan back.Renee, sensing Maya's desperation, didn’t mince her words. "Listen, no matter what happens, you cannot admit to having slept with Tony that night. Ethan didn’t catch you in the act, so you can deny it with conviction."Determined to erase any trace of doubt, Renee accompanied Maya to a hospital for a hymen reconstruction surgery, ensuring she could present herself as pure and blameless.*****At 11 PMA pristine white Maybach Landaulet glided elegantly into the Rose Garden Villas.
