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

"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
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 56: Rejection
Tony Tony had just proposed to Ethan's ex-wife, Maya Reynolds, right in front of him. Clara, witnessing Tony's blatant disrespect towards Ethan, felt a strong impulse to step forward and slap Tony, just as she had done previously. However, she restrained herself.Clara thought, "If Maya Reynolds marries Tony West soon, it might create an opportunity for me to be with Ethan."As a business elite, Clara prioritized her personal interests. The potential marriage between Tony and Maya could actually benefit her.Ethan, observing the situation, chose not to intervene.Ethan intervened in Tony's proposal by turning off the microphone and dismantling the balloon decorations, citing the disruption to the environment and the guests as his reason. With the decorations removed, the proposal no longer breached any regulations, as it was now simply one customer proposing to another.Ethan was particularly interested in seeing whether Maya would accept Tony's proposal. Having been married to Maya
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 57: The King of Los Angeles
Clara took a bold guess, leaning forward slightly. "Mr. Sinclair, are you hoping Maya Reynolds will marry Tony West so you can later tell them you're the president of Walt Disney Corporation and make Maya regret it when it's too late?"Ethan stopped mid-sip, his glass hovering in the air, and looked at Clara in surprise, his eyes widening.Clara had guessed Ethan's plan, and she could see the recognition in his eyes.Ethan nodded with satisfaction, a small smile playing on his lips. "Very smart of you! You truly deserve to be my vice president."Clara's face lit up with excitement. "Did I guess right?"Ethan shook his head, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Not exactly. I'm going to do it on their wedding day, not after.""I plan to reveal to Maya on her wedding day that the man she believes to be the wealthiest she could ever marry is not the true tycoon—I am.""On that day, I won't just let Maya Reynolds discover the truth. I will also announce to the entire business community in Los

Shaking his head in feigned disappointment, he spat, “You’re pathetic. You act tough, but the moment real power steps in, you cower. Some man you are!”Ethan’s eyes burned with fury as he shot Tony a glare. His voice was firm and unyielding as he snapped, “Whether I’m the president of a company or a man with nothing to my name, I would never deny something I actually said.”Cayden, though arrogant, wasn’t an idiot. He could tell Tony had likely twisted the truth.But since Tony was on his side, he had no reason to call him out on it.With a smirk, Cayden said, “Fine, even if you didn’t say that, there’s still the matter of my aunt—Marissa Huxley. She spent the night at your villa, didn’t she? And you slept with her!”He took a threatening step forward, his tone turning venomous.“You’re just some punk in his twenties, yet you dared to lay hands on my aunt? That’s a level of disrespect you should die for!”Ethan remained unfazed, his voice cold and steady. “Your aunt did stay at my pla
Chapter 123
Of course, Maya was aware that Cayden's compliment was likely directed at her as well. Back in private, she could behave more familiarly with him, but with Ethan present, she had to maintain an air of indifference, keeping her distance.Cayden, observing the subtle dynamics, thought to himself with a smirk, Ethan Sinclair certainly seems to have a way with women. His wife is a rare beauty, and he used to have such a striking subordinate in Clara Walport.Turning his attention back to Clara, Cayden said with a taunting edge, "Miss Walport, you're quite the arrogant one, aren't you? You tried to use your position as the president of Walt Disney Corporation to crush my cousin, even challenging the Wests to take you on."He paused, letting the words sink in. "The Wests may not have the guts to go after you, but the Huxleys aren’t afraid."Cayden’s gaze hardened as he continued, "I was planning to ease up on attacking your company once Ethan Sinclair was out of the picture. But since you’v
Chapter 122: I’m sorry, Ethan
Tony’s face twisted in anger as he jabbed a finger toward Clara."Clara Walport! You think you can teach me a lesson? Who the hell do you think you are!?"This wasn’t the first time Clara had slapped him. Counting the previous incident in her office, this made three.And despite his bravado, he was genuinely afraid of her.Clara stood tall, her icy glare drilling into him. Her presence alone was suffocating."Your father and I are equals in the business world, which makes you nothing more than a junior in comparison. So tell me, why shouldn’t I educate you?" she shot back.Her voice grew sharper, more condescending."Or have you forgotten how your father behaves around me? Giovanni West wags his tail like a dog whenever he sees me. And yet you dare question my authority?!"A wave of laughter spread across the restaurant.Guests sneered at Tony, whispering among themselves.Clara wasn’t just making empty claims. She was the most respected and influential businesswoman in Los Angeles, a
Chapter 121: A hard slap
When a man falls from grace, the world is quick to turn its back on him.Tony knew that feeling all too well. Once, people had treated him with admiration and respect. But ever since his family neared financial ruin, those same people had severed ties without hesitation, treating him like an outcast.That was why he had no reason to doubt Salvatore’s words.Sensing Tony’s eagerness, Salvatore continued, his voice laced with amusement. “Tony, I’ve heard all about what went down between Ethan Sinclair and your mother. I can imagine the grudge you must hold against him. So tell me, are you planning on getting revenge? If so, go ahead, be bold about it. I won’t get in your way. In fact, if you need some muscle, I can lend you a few of my guys. They’re top-tier fighters—loyal, efficient, and ruthless. But of course, quality service like that doesn’t come cheap.”Tony chuckled, trying to keep his tone casual despite the fire burning in his chest. “I appreciate the offer, Mr. Salvatore. I’ll
chapter 120: Tony West returned to Los Angeles
Maya had never truly loved Tony; she had been with him only because, at the time, he was wealthier than Ethan. But now, as she reflected on his words, she had to admit—there was some truth to what he said. Any man who married her seemed to suffer terrible misfortune. When she was with Ethan, she had betrayed him, shattering the trust in their marriage. When she married Tony, the once-powerful West family had plummeted from prominence, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. And now, after reuniting with Ethan, he had lost everything—his family, his fortune, and his prestigious position. It was almost as if she carried a curse. Tony’s voice was filled with unfiltered resentment. "Maya, answer me honestly—has Ethan really been disowned? Or is he playing another one of his games? That man is a master at faking poverty." Maya let out a sigh, knowing exactly why Tony was so insistent. He had always wanted revenge on Ethan, and now he saw an opportunity. "It’s real this time, Tony. I sw
Chapter 119: Listening in on Maya's phone conversation.
Throughout their three years of marriage, Ethan had cared for Maya unconditionally—every single day. The only exception was the brief period when they were "divorced" and he had distanced himself. But what had Maya ever done for him in return? Back when Ethan held the prestigious title of president at Walt Disney Corporation, Maya had been the perfect, obedient wife—gentle, compliant, and endlessly considerate. Yet, the moment his status crumbled, her attitude shifted entirely. Now that he had been expelled from the Sinclair family, she had reverted to her true self—the woman she had been before their marriage. Did she ever truly love me? Ethan pondered bitterly. If she didn’t, then why did she remember the songs I liked and my favorite foods? Shouldn’t a wife stand by her husband, offering comfort and encouragement when his world is falling apart? As Ethan sat in quiet turmoil, lost in his thoughts, Maya had already made her way to the bedroom. Settling onto the bed, she
Chapter 118: So this is who she truly is, huh?
Sophie had long been aware of Maya’s affair and had even shown Ethan the incriminating photos of her secret meetings with Cayden. No man in Ethan’s position could simply turn a blind eye to such betrayal. To make matters worse, Ethan had just been expelled from the Sinclair family. But Sophie wasn’t convinced. She suspected that his so-called expulsion was nothing more than a calculated ploy—to push Maya into divorcing him. Determined to win Ethan over, Sophie deliberately ridiculed him for being penniless, hoping to trigger Maya’s materialistic nature and make her feel miserable. The sooner Maya left Ethan, the sooner Sophie could take her place. Suddenly, Mimi slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Haven’t you all had your fill of pointless arguments? Why are we still debating trivial matters like Sophie’s clothes or her love life at a time like this?" The real issue at hand was far greater—whether Ethan would still inherit the Sinclair family's fortune worth tens of billions.
Chapter 117: The enigmatic Sophie.
Seeing John's rude attitude toward Ethan, Miss Julia shot him a sharp glare and snapped, "What could possibly be so urgent? Ethan’s had a long day—let him have his tea first!" John, clearly unimpressed, rolled his eyes at her. In his mind, she was just a clueless woman who knew nothing about the business world. Ignoring her completely, he turned to Ethan and asked bluntly, "I saw the news. You resigned as president of Walt Disney Corporation. Is that true?" Miss Julia’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Ethan, you’re no longer the president?" she asked, still trying to process the information. "Is it because your grandfather wants you to move to D.C. or New York? I’ve always wanted to go to New York! When are you leaving? We’ll go with you!" Clearly, she believed Ethan’s resignation was part of some grand business strategy, an opportunity for him to climb even higher. But Ethan didn’t sugarcoat it. With a sorrowful expression, he spoke plainly: "My grandfather kicked me out
Chapter 116: Maya's attitude change drastically
Jade Villa, New YorkLaughter filled the lavish living room as Cayden erupted into hysterics, his voice echoing off the high ceilings."Hahahaha! Ethan Sinclair has stepped down! He’s resigned!" Cayden roared, practically doubled over in amusement. "He lost! I won! I crushed him!"On the massive TV screen in front of them, the press conference replayed on loop. Ethan sat there with a grim expression, publicly announcing his resignation as president of Walt Disney Corporation. He had handed the reins over to Clara Walport, his once-loyal deputy.Tony, however, was even more ecstatic than Cayden.Fueled by adrenaline, he jumped onto the couch with his shoes still on, fists pumping in the air."Unbelievable! Cayden, you did it! You just knocked Ethan Sinclair off his throne and turned him into a nobody!"Cayden smirked, basking in the moment. "Naturally."The two clapped their hands together in excitement, as if they had just witnessed a game-winning buzzer-beater in the NBA Finals.But
