THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 46: I'm going to cripple you
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

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!
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 49: Maya's Reasons
Maya, summoning all her strength, forcefully pushed Ethan away before resolutely opening the door to leave.To her astonishment, Clara was standing right outside as she opened the door."Miss... Miss Walport," Maya stammered, taken aback by Clara's unexpected presence.In their previous encounter, Clara had delivered a sharp slap across Maya's face, a moment that had left a lasting impression.Despite her deep-seated jealousy and resentment towards Clara, Maya found herself at the office of the company where Clara was employed.Furthermore, they would be collaborating frequently in the future. As a member of a distinguished family, Maya recognized the importance of setting aside personal grievances and focusing on the broader objectives."Miss Reynolds," Clara acknowledged Maya with a nod and a warm smile.After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Maya quickly made her exit, her steps brisk and purposeful.Meanwhile, Ethan stood gripping the contract tightly in his hand, his knuckle
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 50: Acquiring The Restaurant!
Maya couldn't contain her excitement, stomping her feet in delight. "Oh my goodness, you're amazing! I'm so envious of you. You've got your husband completely under your control, and you manage to date other men without him ever finding out. Why did I get caught when I tried? It even led to my divorce! It's so frustrating!"Renee chuckled and replied, "The difference between us is that your ex-husband is a taxi driver, while mine is a businessman. He's frequently away on business trips, so he's rarely in town. He doesn't have the time to catch me cheating.""By the way, why did you call me out of the blue?" Maya produced a copy of the contract and handed it to Renee.Renee was taken aback. "Wow, darling, you actually secured the deal with the Walt Disney organization on behalf of your family, and they even named the project after you! That's incredible. How did you manage it? Did you sleep with the president of Walt Disney?"Feeling somewhat speechless, Maya responded, "Seriously, do
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 51: Tell him to leave immediately!
While Jan stood in shock, a waiter emerged from Juice Cafeteria, carrying a signboard which he placed at the entrance.The crowd of onlookers quickly gathered to see what it was about."It's this week's program lineup for Juice Cafeteria!""Taylor Swift is performing tonight! Tomorrow's show features a singing performance, and the day after tomorrow, there will be a live band performance..."Jammi, visibly excited, exclaimed, "Mr. Brandon, the owner of Juice Cafeteria, is incredibly generous. He's invited the most popular singer around!"Jan, who preferred old-school R&B over mainstream pop, glanced at Jammi with a cynical expression. He remarked disdainfully, "They're just some amateur singer. There's no need to bother. I can guarantee that Juice Cafeteria will fold within a week!"******Two hours later, Tony, having just risen from bed, held a beautiful Tiffany ring box with elation. Inside was an extravagant diamond ring, a significant investment he had made.Determined to propose
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 52: Taylor Swift
The waitress ended the call and turned to Tony with a polite smile. "Sir, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Our boss has not accepted your deposit. I must kindly ask you to leave."Despite Ethan's instructions to have Tony leave immediately without any explanation, she was merely a service staff member and did not dare to be discourteous.Tony's face flushed with embarrassment. "What? That scoundrel Jan Niklas isn't trying to renege on his promise, is he?"The waitress maintained her composure and replied, "Jan Niklas is not the name of our boss."It was only then that Tony realized his mistake—Juice Cafeteria was not owned by Jan Niklas.Just then, Tony's phone rang. It was Jan. "Mr. West, I apologize for the delay. I've been quite occupied. What did you need to discuss? Rest assured, I've already arranged the venue for your proposal. Will you be arriving in the afternoon or the evening?"Tony hesitated before speaking. "Mr. Niklas, I regret to inform you that I won't be able to

As they approached room 307, a middle-aged man, appearing to be around 40 years old, walked towards them with a friendly demeanor."Good evening, Miss Walport! What a pleasant surprise!" he exclaimed, clearly recognizing Clara.Clara, equally surprised, responded, "Mr. Denise, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner as well? I recall you usually prefer dining at Sunny Restaurant."Clara was familiar with Mr. Denise, a close friend of Jan, and someone who frequently dined at Jan's establishment.Mr. Denise chuckled and explained, "Yes, well, my son insisted on attending a Taylor Swift concert tonight, so here we are."Clara smiled, observing that many of the patrons tonight seemed to have been persuaded by their children to dine here.She reasoned that most teenagers and young adults who enjoyed Taylor Swift's music likely couldn't afford to book a private room or dinner at such an upscale restaurant. Moreover, it had become quite common for parents to indulge their children's requ

“Whoa!” Mike exclaimed, eyes wide in shock. His face turned serious with a hint of nervousness. “Man, that’s... seriously intense.”Ethan smirked. “It gets better. Her husband’s going to catch you two in bed.”Mike nearly jumped out of his seat. “Hey, don’t joke like that!”He looked genuinely alarmed. “Come on, we’ve been friends for over a decade—you wouldn’t throw me under the bus like that, right?”Clearly shaken, Mike imagined worst-case scenarios. What if the husband showed up with a gun? Or even a baseball bat? Either way, it sounded painful.But Ethan reassured him calmly, “Relax. The guy’s not violent. If he walks in, the worst he’ll do is break down in tears. He’s not the type to get physical.”Mike breathed a little easier, but was still puzzled. “So what’s the deal? What did this guy do to you that you want to put him through something like that?”Ethan’s tone softened. “You’ve got it wrong. He didn’t do anything to me. He’s actually a good man, and I consider him a friend
Chapter 140
Ethan sat in a modest room at an Express Hotel, sipping a cup of black tea from a paper cup. Across from him sat Mike—an old friend, now his ally in a new mission.Whenever Mike traveled to New York, he usually stayed at luxury hotels like The Peninsula. But this time, he didn’t bat an eye at the modest Express Hotel room Ethan had booked—a place that cost less than $50 a night.Mike understood Ethan’s background well. Despite not coming from wealth, Ethan had once trained alongside basketball legends like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dwyane Wade—an opportunity few from humble origins ever had.“It was actually pretty easy getting here by plane,” Mike said casually as he settled in.Ethan studied his old friend’s striking features—so reminiscent of a young Leonardo DiCaprio—and spoke sincerely. “Mike, I asked you to come not just to catch up, but also because I need a favor.”Mike picked up the paper cup and took a sip of the cheap black tea without complaint.“Say no more, man,

Ethan had already settled the score with Tony and Cayden.Now, there was one more person on his list—Renee.Renee hadn’t harmed Ethan directly. In fact, she hadn’t even blocked his number. He figured that if they happened to cross paths on the street, she’d probably still smile and greet him as if nothing ever happened.Over the past three years, unlike others, Renee had never mocked him for being a live-in son-in-law.And yet, Ethan still held resentment toward her.“If it weren’t for Renee Quinn,” Ethan thought, “maybe Maya wouldn’t have changed into the person she is today.”He could still vividly recall the sweet, sincere, and innocent Maya from three years ago. Back then, after marrying Ethan, she would politely ignore flirtatious advances from other guys on campus and purposely maintain a respectful distance from any man.She had once been the picture of loyalty and purity.But everything changed after Maya witnessed Renee cheating on her husband for the first time following her

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
