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

"Hahaha."Klein's heart swelled with pride as he gazed at his brilliant daughter, Sophie. Her strength was undeniable, and he couldn't help but chuckle."Sophie," he said, "how could I not recognize your resilience?"Sophie leaned in, her eyes sparkling. "Why not let me wear... more revealing attire?"Klein shook his head, his expression serious. "My dear daughter, first impressions matter. If you dress provocatively, Mr. Sinclair might dismiss you as frivolous. Remember, your goal is to marry him, not become his lover or mistress. So, choose your fashion wisely."Sophie's keen eye didn't miss a beat as she observed Miss Walport Clara and her secretary, Sarah Ashley. The two women stood side by side, their attire speaking volumes about their roles and personalities.Miss Walport Clara, the poised executive, exuded confidence. Her crisp white shirt was impeccably tailored, emphasizing her slender waist. The black skirt, modestly knee-length, hinted at sophistication without sacrificing

"Boss's future wife?""Who is my boss's future wife?" Ethan inquired.Klein sighed and replied, "You're so dense. You're working for the Walt Disney organization now, right? That means Mr. Sinclair is your boss, and his future wife is your former cousin-in-law, who also happens to be my daughter, Sophie!""My father and I plan for Sophie to marry Mr. Sinclair to form a marriage alliance with the Walt Disney organization. If things go well between them, you'll be connected to us again. Haha, you really are destined to be linked with the Reynolds."Ethan stared at Sophie in astonishment and asked, "Sophie, are you really that sure Mr. Sinclair will be interested in you?"It had only been a few days since Ethan had freed himself from the Reynolds family by divorcing Maya, and now, Sophie was targeting him!'Why am I constantly tormented by the Reynolds?' he wondered.Sophie scoffed and said coldly, "There's no man in the world who wouldn't be drawn to me! Mr. Sinclair will definitely fal

In esteemed families, the principle of seniority-based hierarchy was rigorously enforced.Sophie, though Maya's younger cousin, audaciously demanded that Maya serve as her chauffeur in front of everyone. With aspirations of becoming the future wife of the president of Walt Disney Corporation, Sophie had already developed a sense of superiority over the rest of the Reynolds family.She believed that Maya would eventually need her support.However, Maya, known for her pride and arrogance, couldn't stand such an insult!Maya snapped back angrily, "I'm too busy! I can't take you there!"With that, she stormed out of the villa and drove off in a huff. Unfortunately, being a poor driver to begin with, she accidentally crashed into a streetlight. Fortunately, her car wasn't badly damaged since she was driving slowly, and she escaped without any injuries."Ugh, this is so frustrating and annoying!"Maya pounded the steering wheel with both hands, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 45: Mr Romano
Sophie was keen to discover what the enigmatic Mr. Sinclair looked like.However, Ethan had strictly instructed Sarah to keep his identity confidential. She wouldn't betray his trust for any amount of money.Sarah quickly pushed the money back to Sophie and replied, "Miss Reynolds, I don't have a photo of Mr. Sinclair. But I can assure you, he's very handsome and about your age."Hearing the words "very handsome," Sophie's heart fluttered with joy.Even though her request to discuss the contract with Ethan was once again denied, the beautiful yet naive Sophie left with a spring in her step.******Phuket, ThailandSalvatore landed in Phuket and met up with his boss, Ferragamo Ferraro.Ferragamo had been deeply involved in various underground businesses in Phuket, frequently traveling across East Asia over the past few years. His operations included recruiting numerous fighters for underground matches, running illegal gambling rings, and smuggling contraband.In a dimly lit gymnasium,

Ferragamo, taken aback, asked, "Mr. Romano, could you describe Mr. Ethan to me? I wouldn't want to risk not recognizing him and causing any offense."With a resigned sigh, Mr. Romano replied, "Los Angeles is pristine now, but it will be a mess once you arrive!"He then directed his assistant to send Ferragamo a photograph. The person in the photo was Ethan himself!It turned out that Mr. Romano was actually the Sinclair family's butler, Frank.Despite his role as a butler, Frank had diligently learned about investing from Ethan's father over the years, ultimately amassing a personal fortune worth billions. His keen insights and dedication to learning had paid off handsomely.In addition to his financial acumen, Frank had also taken on the role of mentor, guiding and grooming many people over the years. Ferragamo was one of the many who had benefited from Frank's mentorship and wisdom.When Ferragamo saw the photograph of Ethan, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Sinclair is incredibl

Salvatore barked the command, "Go!"In an instant, ten elite fighters from East Asia surged towards Ethan, their movements swift and deadly.**Bang! Bang! Bang!****Smack! Smack! Smack!**The air was filled with the brutal sounds of combat.Salvatore watched in disbelief as Ethan single-handedly took down all ten fighters with a lethal grace that left no room for doubt.Shaking off his astonishment, Salvatore grabbed his phone and dialed Ferragamo. "Mr. Ferraro, you need to send ten more fighters immediately. The ones you sent won't last more than ten minutes against Ethan Sinclair.""What?!"Ferragamo had just finished a chess game with Butler Frank when he received Salvatore's urgent call. His eyes widened with excitement at the news."An expert who can defeat ten men single-handedly? I must recruit such talent!""Tell me your location. I'm on my way."Without wasting a moment, Ferragamo hurried drive over. By the time Ferragamo arrived at the parking lot, the ten elite fighters h
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 48: I know you still care for me
Maya and her then-husband, Ethan, had originally proposed the project. However, Klein and his family took control due to Klein's superior standing within the Reynolds family.With the president of Walt Disney Corporation repeatedly refusing to meet Klein and his children, Maya decided to take matters into her own hands.Sophie sneered, "Mr. Sinclair won't see any of us. What makes you think he'll see you? You're overestimating yourself."From the sidelines, Ms. Julia defended her daughter, "Let Maya try. She was the one who conceived the project in the first place."Old Ms. Mimi, the matriarch of the Reynolds family, pondered the situation and realized there was no other viable option. She could either go herself or send Maya in her stead."Alright, Maya," Old Ms. Reynolds finally said, her voice carrying the weight of authority. "Go to the Walt Disney Corporation. If this attempt fails, I'll visit Mr. Sinclair personally. We must secure this cooperation with Walt Disney at all costs!

Los Angeles – Beverly VillaIt was nearly midnight when Ethan finally returned home.By then, Maya’s former college classmates had already left. However, to his surprise, her parents had stayed behind to help clean up.Stepping inside, Ethan raised an eyebrow. "You don’t need to clean up. I have a housekeeper for that."Miss Julia hurried over, beaming as she handed him a glass of water. "My dear son-in-law, you must be exhausted after such a long day at work. Here, have some water and rest."She then gestured toward the cluttered living room. "Servants won’t know how to handle everything properly. There are so many valuable decorations here—what if they break something? John and I have nothing better to do, so we thought we’d help out. Consider it a little exercise."John nodded in agreement, flashing a polite smile. "Yes, exactly! Just a bit of light exercise. It’s no trouble at all."Ethan glanced at them, amused. In the past three years, he had never once seen John or Miss Julia v
Chapter 98: Tony get the voice recorder
Tony was caught off guard when Cayden casually handed him a cigarette.For years, Cayden had openly looked down on him. In the past, whenever Tony had offered him a cigarette, Cayden would scoff and refuse without hesitation.‘Why the sudden change?’ Tony wondered. ‘Why is he being so friendly now? Could it be that this playboy has his eyes on Maya too?’Smirking, Tony accepted the cigarette and chuckled. "Maya isn’t just the most beautiful woman in Los Angeles—if you ask me, she’s the most stunning woman in the entire country! I’ve met countless women, but none of them even come close to her."Leaning in slightly, he added with a smug grin, "I’m not exaggerating when I say that no woman in New York can hold a candle to her."Cayden’s smirk deepened, his expression gradually turning more suggestive, his gaze laced with something almost predatory. "Interesting… Let’s continue this conversation at my villa."Without another word, he led Tony to his sleek Mercedes G-Wagon and drove off.

Chapter 96: coveting Hundred of Billions In assets
Two days after the funeral, Ethan and the Reynolds family left Pasadena.Seated in the back of a limited-edition Maybach Landaulet, Ethan and Maya held hands, their fingers intertwined as they basked in each other’s presence. The luxurious interior of the car exuded elegance, but the true glow came from the joy on Maya’s face.She turned to Ethan, eyes twinkling. “Honey, I was thinking… I’d love to invite some of my old college friends over for a little gathering tonight. It’s been ages since I last saw them, and I want to celebrate with the people who were once such a big part of my life. Would that be okay with you?”If they had been returning to their upscale apartment in New City Residential Estate, she wouldn’t have even needed to ask. But she was clearly referring to Ethan’s villa in Beverly Hills, a place she now saw as her own.Since their marriage, Maya had firmly believed that his home was hers as well.Ethan let out a quiet sigh, though his expression remained neutral.

Chapter 95: Giving Maya a second chance
Lily’s room was dimly lit, casting long shadows across the walls. She lay weakly on the bed, her eyelids barely open as she hovered on the edge of life and death.Old Ms. Mimi sat beside her, while the rest of the Reynolds family stood silently around the room, their expressions tense.All eyes were on Ethan, waiting for Butler Frank’s response.Given Ethan’s status as the president of the Walt Disney Corporation and one of the most influential figures in Los Angeles' business world, they knew he had the power to uncover the truth with ease.John and Ms. Julia, however, were restless with unease. The information John had received from his friend—was it truly accurate?“Please, let it be true,” Ms. Julia whispered repeatedly in prayer, her hands clasped together.Suddenly, the sharp vibration of a phone cut through the silence.Buzz…Ethan’s sleek Porsche-designed phone lit up, and the entire room seemed to hold its breath.He glanced at the screen—but instead of Butler Frank’s name, a
Chapter 94: Ethan and Maya are still married
Ethan knew deep down that he still had feelings for Maya, but that didn’t mean he could forgive her.Since their divorce, he had met plenty of stunning women—Clara, the elegant and intelligent deputy president of his corporation; Sarah, his alluring and confident secretary; and even Renee, the lively young woman with an incredible figure.With his current status, finding a new partner would be effortless.But despite the lingering emotions he had for Maya, and despite the fact that she hadn't physically betrayed him, Ethan had no intention of rekindling their relationship.Meanwhile, in Lily’s dimly lit bedroom, the two elderly women sat together in hushed conversation.The silence of the late night made their voices almost imperceptible. Their combined years nearly reached two centuries, and their words carried the weight of time and regret.Old Ms. Mimi held Lily’s frail hand, her expression heavy with sorrow. “Lily, you’ve known about Ethan’s true identity all this time… why didn’t

As Maya spoke, Ethan played along, pretending to be the devoted husband she portrayed him to be.“Oh? That’s wonderful,” Lily said, nodding with a pleased smile.Maya continued excitedly, “Grandaunt Lily, I have even better news for you! Ethan isn’t from an ordinary family—he comes from an incredibly wealthy and powerful lineage! His family’s net worth is in the hundreds of billions, and he’s now the president of a major corporation!”Ethan watched Lily closely, expecting a look of shock or surprise.But to his surprise, her smile only grew, her expression remaining calm and content. It was as if she had already known.“Great… great… that’s wonderful,” she murmured, her voice filled with satisfaction rather than astonishment.She let out a small sigh. “All my children are doing well… Ahem…” Lily coughed a few times, and Maya quickly helped her take a sip of water. After a brief pause, she continued, “The only one I’ve worried about all these years… is Maya.”She reached out weakly, pl
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
