"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

His sudden discomfort was palpable, betraying his attempt to maintain composure.Nevertheless, he denied, "Who's Jan Niklas? I don't know him!" His voice wavered slightly, adding to Ethan's suspicion.Despite the denial, Ethan was already certain that he was sent by Jan. The young man's reaction had confirmed his suspicions.Ethan had studied psychology under a renowned professor, gaining deep insights into human behavior. Additionally, Rowland Miller and his grandfather had taught him some human anatomy during his childhood, providing him with a solid foundation in understanding physical cues.Therefore, Ethan was adept at reading people and assessing them based on their words and actions. Naturally, he didn't succeed every time, and Maya was a testament to his failure.Nevertheless, he was very certain about the individual standing b

With its downfall, addressing the remaining restaurants would become significantly easier.

Both Maya and Tony were taken aback. "Sing and play music by himself? Does Ethan even know how to play an instrument?" Tony wondered aloud, his brow furrowed in confusion.Turning to Maya, Tony asked, "Maya, can Ethan Sinclair play the piano or guitar, or any other instrument?"Maya shook her head, her eyes wide with surprise. "I have a piano at home, but I've never seen Ethan play it in the past three years. I always thought he came from a poor family in the countryside and never had the chance to learn music."The superstar, though surprised, was pleased by Ethan's request. "Of course, you may do so. Our pianist could use a break anyway. Please, come on stage," he said, gesturing invitingly.The superstar extended his hand to Ethan, helping him onto the stage with a warm smile.“Everyone, let’s give him a round of applause, shall we?” he encouraged, prompting the audience to cheer for Ethan, hoping to ease any potential nerves.But Ethan wasn’t nervous. His heart was already heavy
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 62: backup plan
Ethan’s face contorted with fury as her words cut through him."So, it’s my fault because I come from a less privileged background? Do people like me have to carry the burden of our circumstances just to justify the actions of people like you—wealthy, protected, immune to consequence? Do you honestly believe your money and status give you the right to betray those who trust you, to hurt people, and feel joy in their misery?"Though he hadn’t experienced poverty firsthand, Ethan felt a fire within him to defend those who had endured it."Everyone, no matter their background, deserves respect and dignity!"Maya sighed, shaking her head with a dismissive expression. "Ethan, you’re so naive. Even your own grandfather said that people from poor backgrounds can never raise truly exceptional children. That’s just reality."Maya looked at Ethan, her tone gentle yet firm. "You’ve been so good to me, and I know you have so much to offer, but... I just don’t see us having a future right now."A

Ethan immediately picked up the phone and called Flint Michigan.“Uncle Flint, it’s been far too long since we last spoke! This is Ethan Sinclair. How have you been holding up? And how’s your health these days?” Ethan’s voice was warm and respectful as he greeted the legendary hotelier.Flint Michigan’s face lit up with joy on the other end of the line. “Ethan! What a pleasant surprise! It’s been ages since I last heard from you. Just yesterday, I had a video call with your grandfather, and he proudly showed me his newly planted jasmine flowers in the garden! He hasn’t lost his touch with horticulture, that’s for sure.”“I’m doing quite well, actually. I’m taking some much-needed time off in Hawaii, soaking up the sun and relaxing. But enough about me—how about you? Your grandfather told me you’ve wrapped up your duties as a live-in son-in-law for your Ancestral system tasks and that you’re gearing up for a grand entrance into the business world. Sounds like big plans are on the horiz

A week later, at exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, the streets of Los Angeles were alive with the usual energy. People moved quickly under the scorching sun, some with sunglasses shielding their eyes, others carrying umbrellas to fend off the intense heat. But for Tony, sitting in his BMW, none of it mattered. His mind was consumed by a simmering frustration.Tony sat behind the wheel, gripping it tightly, his fingers tight with anger. He glanced at the phone pressed against his ear, his other hand twitching with impatience. Maya was supposed to be meeting him, but right now."What? Silverstone Enterprises is closing its doors too? Are you kidding me? How is that even possible when things were going so well?" Tony’s voice was sharp. He ran a hand through his hair, a mix of confusion and fury playing across his face.Silverstone Enterprises had been one of the top performers out of the 80 companies he had invested in. It was a golden opportunity, consistently making a strong profi
