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!

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
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 54: I am the owner
"Why is there no sound at all? I can't hear her singing!" Tony exclaimed in frustration."What's happening? Are they trying to deceive us? This is unacceptable!" another attendee questioned angrily.Despite the technical issue occurring just moments ago, many attendees were already visibly upset.Suddenly, items began to be thrown from the third, fourth, and fifth floors simultaneously.With a loud smack, a banana peel struck Tony's face, while a Pepsi can landed on Maya's thigh."Ah!" Maya cried out in panic."Who did that? Come down here!" Tony shouted furiously as he stood up.Witnessing the chaos, Clara remarked, "Well done! An adulterous pair deserves to have things thrown at them!"Ethan didn't have the luxury of time to comment or mock Maya and Tony.He turned to Clara and said, "This situation is more complex than it appears. The microphone she used is of the highest quality; it shouldn't malfunction. It's highly probable that it was swapped."Clara, visibly alarmed, asked, "A
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 55: The proposal
"Excuse me?"Tony and Maya were both taken aback by the revelation.Clara and Sarah, standing behind Ethan, couldn't contain their laughter.Tony, with a mocking tone, said, "Really? You're claiming to be the owner of Juice Cafeteria? Stop the charade. I've already looked into it. This isn't the only establishment Mr. Stevie Brandon sold. All his restaurants in Los Angeles were purchased by the same individual for 10 million dollars! You're just a man without means. Can you truly afford 10 million dollars?"Maya, despite knowing Ethan's determination to outmaneuver Jan, was skeptical about him having such a substantial amount of money.Ethan, sensing the disbelief, retorted, "You don't believe me, do you?"Ethan had reached his limit with the condescending and arrogant attitudes of these wealthy scions who enjoyed belittling others. He called over the middle-aged woman who was sweeping the floor. "Ma'am, could you come here for a moment, please?"The middle-aged woman approached as in

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.

"Grandpa, please! You have to help the West family!"Kneeling on the polished marble floor, Tony swallowed his pride as he pleaded with the elderly man seated before him—Arthur Huxley.Arthur, the patriarch of the Huxley family, was also the founder of Breezy Express, one of the nation’s leading domestic courier companies. His influence extended far beyond business, making him a powerful figure in elite circles.But Arthur was not alone.

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. He w

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
