THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 69: apologize to Mr Sinclair
For the past three years, Klein had made it a habit to ridicule Ethan whenever their paths crossed. He had insulted him countless times and even gone as far as sending henchmen to rough him up over a dispute involving Alexander. Ethan's decision to attend Maya's wedding and reveal his true identity was clearly calculated—it was his moment for revenge. Knowing this, Klein, who was never particularly close to Maya, had no intention of staying behind to face Ethan's wrath. He seized the opportunity to leave immediately. After carefully placing Old Ms. Mimi in the backseat of the Audi Q7, Klein barked at the chauffeur, "Drive to the hospital! And hurry!" Before the vehicle could even start, Old Ms. Mimi let out a loud, startling wail. "Ah!" Her sudden outburst shocked Klein, sending a shiver down his spine. "Mom, are you alright?" he asked anxiously. "You scared me half to death! I thought you fainted because of that punk Ethan." Relief washed over him as he realized she w
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 70: This gift isn't meant for you
Tony had always been someone who valued his pride above all else. Within his social circle of wealthy heirs, he was known for his ostentatious displays of affluence and his tendency to flaunt his status at every opportunity.Today was supposed to be his crowning moment—a grand wedding to the so-called "most beautiful woman in Los Angeles," Maya. The only imperfection in his otherwise perfect narrative was the fact that Maya was a divorcee. Still, Tony had planned to overshadow that blemish by turning Ethan, her ex-husband, into a public spectacle of humiliation during the ceremony. But fate had other plans. Instead of Ethan being humiliated, Tony now found himself in the very position he had reserved for Ethan—embarrassed and stripped of his dignity. Bowing down, kneeling, and pouring a drink to Ethan as a sign of deference? The mere thought churned Tony's stomach. He simply couldn’t lower himself that way. "Is this some kind of elaborate ruse?" Tony wondered bitterly. In his mind
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 71: Mr Sinclair is my senior
Giovanni’s smile faltered instantly. "Not for my son? Mr. Garrett, aren’t you here for my son’s wedding?" Giovanni asked, his voice tinged with embarrassment. Ryan offered a polite smile. "Of course, I’m here for the wedding. I’ve prepared a monetary gift for your son and handed it over to the reception staff. If you’d like, you can verify it with them, Mr. West." Giovanni quickly waved his hands. "Oh no, Mr. Garrett, please don’t misunderstand. I would never focus on such a thing. It’s already a tremendous honor to have you here celebrating with us. The fact that you’ve brought a gift is far too generous." Giovanni, knowing Ryan’s considerable wealth, assumed the monetary gift was substantial—likely no less than $15,000. Eager to seize the moment, Giovanni called over Tony and Maya. "Tony, Maya, come here and greet Mr. Garrett!" Tony approached with a wide grin, extending both hands for a handshake. "It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Garrett. I’ve heard so much about you—you’
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 72: I'm the main Boss
Maya’s sense of superiority, carefully cultivated by her privileged upbringing, had always been her armor. It allowed her to justify her actions, dismiss Ethan’s feelings, and even demand his apologies without a shred of guilt. She carried herself with the pride of someone who had always been told she was exceptional, someone who believed she was a cut above the rest.Having grown up in an affluent family, Maya attended prestigious schools designed for the elite. She had been exposed to the finer things in life, from learning the piano and violin to mastering the art of dance. To her, these accomplishments symbolized culture, refinement, and superiority. They became the foundation of her belief that she was more sophisticated and better brought up than Ethan.Even though she had a genuine affection for Ethan, Maya could never shake the feeling that he was from a different world. In her mind, his world was one of mediocrity, far removed from the grace and opulence she had always kno
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 73:Mr. Sinclair, please spare us!
Soon, dozens of people began filing into the grand ballroom where the wedding was taking place. The group was predominantly male, with only three women present, all appearing to be between the ages of 20 and 40. The attendees had been gathered by a young man moments earlier. Stepping forward, the young man introduced them, saying, "Everyone, this is Mr. West. And over here are his son, Tony, and Tony's new wife, Maya Reynolds." The crowd quickly offered polite smiles and greetings. "Good evening, Mr. West and Mr. Tony!" they chimed in unison. Both Giovanni West and his son, Tony, felt a swell of pride at the warm reception. Their dignified expressions reflected their satisfaction at being so widely acknowledged. As Tony surveyed the crowd from a distance, a flicker of recognition crossed his face. Many of the attendees seemed oddly familiar. His curiosity piqued, he strode forward confidently, his tone tinged with arrogance. "I hear from my father’s chauffeur that you’re al
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 74: I do not
Giovanni hurried toward the hotel entrance, his brow furrowing as he noticed Ferragamo, Salvatore, and several subordinates standing motionless outside. Their presence seemed out of place."Mr. Ferragamo, Salvatore," Giovanni called out, his voice laced with concern. "Why are you standing out here? Shouldn’t you be inside by now? Is something wrong?"Ferragamo turned slightly, his face calm but focused. "Nothing is wrong," he said evenly. "I’m waiting for someone.""Waiting?" Giovanni echoed, his curiosity piqued. He glanced between them, confused. "You’re waiting for someone out here? You? That’s not like you at all. Who could possibly be important enough to make you wait?"Ferragamo’s gaze remained steady, fixed on the road ahead. "You’ll see soon enough," he replied cryptically.Before Giovanni could press further, the smooth purr of a powerful engine filled the air. A sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom emerged from the distance, gliding gracefully to a stop in front of the hotel. Its polis

Maya’s voice rang out loud and clear, cutting through the tension in the opulent hotel ballroom. "I do not!"Gasps rippled through the room as the bride, dressed in a stunning white wedding gown, openly refused to complete her vows. The grand ceremony, meant to celebrate love and unity, was now plunged into chaos.The guests erupted in whispers and exclamations.Ever since Ethan had revealed his identity as a key figure in the Walt Disney Corporation, Maya’s resolve had begun to falter. Moments later, witnessing the most powerful figures in Los Angeles bowing in deference to him had left her awestruck. To her, Ethan now seemed like a king—admired, respected, and untouchable.Maya’s mind raced. Her former husband, the man she had once discarded, had transformed into a tycoon revered by all. In comparison, Tony, the man she was about to marry, seemed utterly lacking.Tony was neither as handsome nor as kind as Ethan. He didn’t pamper her or make her feel cherished in the way Ethan once
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 76: Maya regret
Outside the HotelA male guest exited the grand hotel, a smug smile lighting up his face. He pulled out his phone, scrolling through his contacts until he landed on the name Nicholas Crane. Without hesitation, he dialed the number.The line clicked, and a cold, sharp voice answered, “Who is this, and what do you want?”The man chuckled, leaning casually against a lamppost. “Nick Crane! Long time no talk. I recall hearing that the Reynolds family out here in Los Angeles is related to you. Is that right?”Nicholas’s tone grew more impatient. “Yes, my mother is Maya Reynolds’s grandfather’s sister. Maya is my niece. What’s this about?”“Ah, so that’s the connection!” the man said, his voice thick with amusement. “Well, Nick, you missed one heck of a show today. Your niece got married, and it was a spectacle you wouldn’t believe.”Nicholas’s voice sharpened. “What happened?”The man relished the moment, his tone almost gloating. “Well, it turns out your niece’s ex-husband, Ethan Sinclair,

Chapter 85: Blind date
Three years ago, Sophie was just a high school girl with a petite and modest appearance, far from the alluring figure she had now developed.Back then, Ethan had always viewed her as a younger sister and never entertained any inappropriate thoughts about her. However, things had taken an uncomfortable turn recently.Alexander, ever the troublemaker, had been sending Ethan provocative photos of Sophie—images she hadn’t even posted on her Instagram. Each picture was more seductive than the last, leaving Ethan increasingly unsettled.Now, Ethan avoided even glancing at Sophie. Those photos lingered in his mind, and he found himself battling thoughts he knew were entirely inappropriate.The very idea made him feel despicable. Regardless of how attracted he had been to Maya, it had been within the bounds of marriage. But Sophie? That was entirely off-limits.Resolute, Ethan ignored Sophie’s attempts to engage him and left the villa without looking back.As he walked to his car with Lucky s
Chapter 84: reconciling
Ethan glanced at the bracelet but didn’t reach for it. "I don’t take back what I’ve already given. And let’s make one thing clear—I wasn’t freeloading off the Reynolds these past three years. I don’t want anyone thinking otherwise."His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. The Reynolds had supported him during his time as a live-in husband, and Ethan wasn’t about to let them weaponize that against him now.Old Ms. Mimi gave a small nod of acknowledgment and took the bracelet back. She had always admired it, viewing it as a prized possession from her “formal son-in-law.” Now that she knew it was a gift from Ethan, she had been eyeing it with even more affection.As Ethan adjusted Lucky in his arms, he said flatly, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.""Wait!" Maya called after him, her voice soft but insistent. "I’d like to speak with you alone. It won’t take long."Before Ethan could respond, Miss Julia chimed in eagerly, "Yes, Ethan! You’ve barely been here a moment.
Chapter 83: The Ancestral Rules
Ethan ignored Old Ms. Mimi entirely, even though she was the matriarch and commanded immense authority in the Reynolds family. His presence here wasn’t for their sake but for Lucky’s."Where’s Lucky?" Ethan asked curtly, directing the question at Alexander—the only Reynolds he was willing to address directly.Alexander immediately replied, "Lucky is inside with Maya."Miss Julia stepped forward, eager to explain. "Ethan, don’t hold it against Maya for not coming out to greet you. She was on her knees for so long yesterday that she needed hours of emergency care at the hospital. She’s only just started to recover and can’t walk yet."Ethan knew Maya’s constitution well. She was indeed delicate and prone to fatigue. However, the claim of hours-long emergency treatment sounded exaggerated. For the three years they had been married, Ethan had been the one meticulously looking after her. He understood her health better than anyone else.Without commenting further, Ethan strode into the ho
Chapter 82: bond between Ethan
The Reynolds family collectively experienced a moment of realization.They finally understood the purpose behind Old Ms. Mimi’s seemingly cruel actions.For the past three years, Ethan had spent the most time with Lucky, the poodle. Lucky was the only member of the Reynolds household who had never judged or looked down on him.From Ethan's previous visits, it was clear how strong their bond was. Lucky's loyalty and affection toward Ethan stood out, something no other family member could replicate.Old Ms. Mimi recognized this and knew Lucky was the only leverage they had to draw Ethan back to the Reynolds' home. Her own influence, or anyone else’s in the family, paled in comparison to that little poodle.Though it was already three in the morning and still raining heavily, the Reynolds family remained wide awake, their minds racing with plans.Meanwhile, John couldn’t sleep either, though his sleeplessness had nothing to do with family matters—it was because he was following his mothe
Chapter 81: The feminists nurse
Whether a nurse, doctor, pilot, or entrepreneur, all humans carry within them a natural inclination to empathize, especially with members of their own gender. The female nurse, however, took this inclination to another level, fueled by her staunch feminist beliefs and an active online presence where she advocated fiercely for women’s rights.In her eyes, Maya was nothing short of extraordinary—a vision of beauty that transcended the ordinary. She regarded Maya as a goddess, someone who deserved to be cherished and adored, not humiliated or made to beg for forgiveness."Men should treasure women like her. How dare he treat her with such cruelty, forcing her to kneel and plead? It’s appalling!" the nurse thought indignantly, her judgment of Ethan growing harsher by the second.This nurse had a history of calling out men she deemed unworthy or unjust. Her Instagram following, a strong network of feminists, often supported her lengthy, passionate posts. One notable instance was when she c
Chapter 80: she passed out
Renee, acting as Maya’s trusted “adviser,” had one primary strategy: relentless persistence. She firmly believed that persistence was the key to winning Ethan back.With her vast experience in relationships, Renee had a deep understanding of men. She knew that while many men appeared tough and unyielding, their resistance often crumbled when faced with a determined and remorseful woman—especially one as beautiful as Maya.Feigning surprise, Renee strolled back to the villa, her voice calm yet insistent. "Ethan, look at Maya. She’s on her knees again, begging for your forgiveness. You know as well as I do that she won’t give up."She gestured toward the sky. "I just checked the weather forecast. A heavy downpour is on the way. What will you do if it starts raining and she still refuses to get up?"Her tone softened, appealing to Ethan’s compassion. "For three years, you cared for her so well. She’s never fallen ill under your watch. Do you really want her to catch a cold out there in
Chapter 79:I won’t get up until you forgive me
Maya stood in the villa, her gaze fixed on the surroundings, her heart heavy with regret.She tugged at Renee's sleeve, her voice soft and playful."I love Iron Man too! And this staircase is amazing!"Renee sighed, shaking her head. "You’re hopeless."Before they arrived, Renee had explicitly told Maya to stay composed while she worked to create a moment for them to be alone with Ethan. But Maya couldn’t seem to control herself.Ethan led them on a tour of the second floor, leaving both women wide-eyed with amazement.Renee finally asked, "Ethan, where’s your bedroom? We’d love to see it.""It’s on the third floor. Come on."Ethan guided them upstairs. His bedroom door was plain but sturdy. As he pushed it open, a cool breeze flowed out, sending a slight chill through the trio.The windows were open, letting the crisp night air in. Ethan turned on the lights using a sleek touch panel, illuminating the room. It was immaculate—simple and elegant, with no unnecessary decorations.The be
Chapter 78: I don't care Ethan's mine
Ethan huffed dismissively and took a sip of his champagne, turning his gaze away to the left to avoid acknowledging her presence.'How does this shallow, materialistic woman have the audacity to sit in my car and share a drink with me?' he thought with disdain. 'She must be out of her mind.'Meanwhile, Maya, holding her now-empty glass, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. Ethan's deliberate indifference left her mortified.From her seat up front, Renee remained oblivious to the awkward tension simmering in the back. She had no idea what Maya was enduring at that moment.In under two minutes, the car smoothly came to a stop. The chauffeur promptly stepped out to open the door for Ethan. Without a word, Ethan exited the vehicle and gestured for both women to follow him into the villa.The moment they stepped inside, both Maya and Renee froze, their breaths caught by the sheer elegance surrounding them.Though both women came from affluent families and had experienced their fa
Chapter 77: Wining Ethan heart
After finalizing the divorce papers, Maya immediately sought out Renee, her confidante and adviser, to help her strategize a way to win Ethan back.Renee, sensing Maya's desperation, didn’t mince her words. "Listen, no matter what happens, you cannot admit to having slept with Tony that night. Ethan didn’t catch you in the act, so you can deny it with conviction."Determined to erase any trace of doubt, Renee accompanied Maya to a hospital for a hymen reconstruction surgery, ensuring she could present herself as pure and blameless.*****At 11 PMA pristine white Maybach Landaulet glided elegantly into the Rose Garden Villas. The luxury car, designed to resemble a modernized horse-drawn carriage, exuded an air of sophistication and exclusivity.The unique design set it apart from other vehicles.
