THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 36: Salvatore brothers
Seeing Maya sobbing pitifully, Ethan felt a pang of emotion. He had treated her like royalty during their marriage, always attentive and protective, ensuring she was never upset or mistreated. The sight of her now, so distressed and vulnerable, was a stark contrast to the pampered life she had once enjoyed. In the past, Ethan would have fiercely defended her if anyone had dared to lay a hand on her. Yet, he understood that Clara's slap was a gesture of support for him and a reflection of Maya's own actions. Despite his empathy, Ethan couldn’t ignore that Maya had brought this upon herself with her behavior and choices.Ethan placed a reassuring hand on Clara's shoulder and said gently, "Forget it." Turning to Maya, he added firmly, "Leave. I’m no longer your man."Maya abruptly stopped crying, her tears drying up in an instant. The facade of her emotional vulnerability had always been carefully guarded from Ethan. "Even if I no longer want a dog I've raised for three years, I won't
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 37: Ethan still in love with me!
Even after driving out of the underground parking lot of the downtown office building, he could still hear Maya crying and whining. Maya had always been pompous and arrogant, so she clearly couldn't take being slapped in public. While driving, Ethan spoke to Clara, who was beside him. "Clara, you don't have to interfere in Maya and my affairs. "Do not slap her again." Clara could see Ethan was heartbroken for his ex-wife!Clara replied: "Yes, Mr Sinclair, but don't you hate her for treating you that way?" Ethan smiled and continued, "Love is the antithesis of hatred. Without love, how can there be hatred?" Clara no longer considered Ethan to be an inexperienced young man after hearing his quite thoughtful statements. As the scion of a distinguished family, his expertise and ideas were not to be overlooked. Ethan was gorgeous, came from an affluent family, had a unique perspective, and was very magnanimous and devoted to women. Clara started to fall for him.'I must win his heart!'
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 38: Not to visit the Reynolds villa
Ethan stepped into the office, his mind racing with thoughts of the previous evening. He and Clara had visited a trendy rooftop bar, but their interaction remained strictly professional. They quickly returned to work, leaving the lively atmosphere behind.As Ethan moved through the office, employees greeted him with a chorus of “Good morning, Mr. Sinclair.” He acknowledged them with a nod, his focus already shifting to the day’s tasks.Just as he was about to settle into his office, his phone buzzed. Alexander’s name flashed on the screen. Ethan frowned and answered the call, bracing himself for whatever urgent matter awaited.Alexander commanded, “Ethan, come to my grandmother’s place immediately. I’ve found evidence that you sold the watch you stole from us!”Ethan replied, “I’m too busy for that.”Alexander, growing impatient, retorted, “Ethan Sinclair, are you too scared to come? We’ve invited the person who bought the watch from you to our place. If you have any courage, come her
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 39: it’s time to let them know the truth
Old Ms. Mimi, a woman of immense wealth and influence, commanded respect both within her family and the broader community. Her assets were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and her authority was unquestioned. However, she was deeply angered by Ethan’s persistent provocations and was determined to make him submit to her authority.At that moment, as she held her poodle, Lucky, in her arms, the dog suddenly leaped out and dashed towards Ethan.“Lucky!!”Ms. Mimi exclaimed in surprise, urgently calling for her pet. But Lucky ignored her and continued running towards Ethan.Ethan picked up Lucky with a broad smile, the poodle’s tail wagging furiously as it licked his hand with unrestrained joy. For the past three years, Ethan had been the one to meticulously care for Lucky. He cleaned up after the dog, took it to the vet for vaccinations, and nursed it back to health whenever it fell ill. This consistent care had forged a strong bond between them, making Ethan the person Lucky felt c
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 40: true behind Maya marriage
Ethan found himself surrounded by eight adversaries, yet he remained remarkably composed. His calm demeanor wasn’t due to overconfidence but stemmed from his acute awareness of the vast difference between true professionals and mere amateurs.While his opponents might be considered skilled compared to the average person, they were novices when measured against those seasoned by years of combat and the grim reality of death.Ethan’s journey in martial arts began in his childhood, honing his strength and skills to a high level of proficiency. However, his true edge lay in the legacy of his family’s Ancestral System, a heritage that endowed him with unparalleled abilities.Four years ago, a year before Ethan became the live-in son-in-law of the Reynolds family, his own family had sent him to Syria for an extended period. This experience was meant to harden him, to prepare him for the challenges ahead.The eight men standing before him now, despite their frequent brawls, lacked the lethal
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 41: meeting with Mr Sinclair
The Richard Mille watch and a few antique paintings in the Reynolds’ basement held no significance for Ethan. The only thing he couldn’t bear to part with was Lucky, the poodle he had cared for over the past three years, as it was the only one that showed him gratitude.After Ethan’s departure, Salvatore and his men left the villa in a disheveled state. Once inside the car, Alexander hurried over, expressing his gratitude to Salvatore for keeping his secret, even after being beaten.“Salvatore, are you alright?” Alexander asked, looking embarrassed.Salvatore, enraged, responded, “How dare you give me such a difficult task! You must pay me an additional $150,000 and cover my men’s medical expenses!”Alexander replied, “Money is not an issue, as long as you can teach Ethan Sinclair a hard lesson. Are you planning to kill him?”Salvatore waved dismissively and said, “I’ll handle it. I’m in a hurry and need to leave now.”He then quickly drove away in a commercial vehicle.After leavin
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 42: Wife of the Boss
"Hahaha."Klein's heart swelled with pride as he gazed at his brilliant daughter, Sophie. Her strength was undeniable, and he couldn't help but chuckle."Sophie," he said, "how could I not recognize your resilience?"Sophie leaned in, her eyes sparkling. "Why not let me wear... more revealing attire?"Klein shook his head, his expression serious. "My dear daughter, first impressions matter. If you dress provocatively, Mr. Sinclair might dismiss you as frivolous. Remember, your goal is to marry him, not become his lover or mistress. So, choose your fashion wisely."Sophie's keen eye didn't miss a beat as she observed Miss Walport Clara and her secretary, Sarah Ashley. The two women stood side by side, their attire speaking volumes about their roles and personalities.Miss Walport Clara, the poised executive, exuded confidence. Her crisp white shirt was impeccably tailored, emphasizing her slender waist. The black skirt, modestly knee-length, hinted at sophistication without sacrificing
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM chapter 43: The arrogant Sophie Reynolds
"Boss's future wife?""Who is my boss's future wife?" Ethan inquired.Klein sighed and replied, "You're so dense. You're working for the Walt Disney organization now, right? That means Mr. Sinclair is your boss, and his future wife is your former cousin-in-law, who also happens to be my daughter, Sophie!""My father and I plan for Sophie to marry Mr. Sinclair to form a marriage alliance with the Walt Disney organization. If things go well between them, you'll be connected to us again. Haha, you really are destined to be linked with the Reynolds."Ethan stared at Sophie in astonishment and asked, "Sophie, are you really that sure Mr. Sinclair will be interested in you?"It had only been a few days since Ethan had freed himself from the Reynolds family by divorcing Maya, and now, Sophie was targeting him!'Why am I constantly tormented by the Reynolds?' he wondered.Sophie scoffed and said coldly, "There's no man in the world who wouldn't be drawn to me! Mr. Sinclair will definitely fal

His lip curled into a cruel smirk. “Once we prove that freak has a martial arts background, his little ‘self-defense’ act turns into aggravated assault. Hell, maybe even attempted murder.”He flicked his cigarette to the floor, crushing it under his heel. His eyes burned with unrestrained malice.“But jail?” Shane sneered. “That’s too kind. Sitting in a cell, eating three meals a day? No. That bastard broke your fingers—so I’ll make damn sure he loses his, too.”His voice was calm, but the sadistic promise behind it sent a shiver through the room.The rich had no patience for the law. Why wait for justice when vengeance was so much sweeter?Knock, knock.The air in the room shifted.Tony limped in, his face pale, his grin weak. “Shane…”SMACK!The slap was brutal, echoing like a gunshot. Tony’s head snapped to the side, his cheek instantly blooming red.Shane’s glare was lethal. “You useless sack of shit! If you hadn’t dragged your sorry ass to New York looking for trouble, Cayden wou
Chapter 125: Breaking Ethan's fingers
"Honey, how did it go? Is everything okay?" Maya asked anxiously as she stepped forward.Ethan let out a sigh. "I won’t be detained for now, and I can go home. But Cayden Huxley’s finger is broken, so I have to cover his medical expenses. Babe, I don’t have any money right now… I’ll have to use the Reynolds' funds."Maya's expression stiffened. She had always dreamed of enjoying a lavish lifestyle with her husband’s wealth, not the other way around. The idea of using her family’s money on his problems left her clearly displeased.Clara, watching from the side, scoffed in disdain. She knew all too well that the Reynolds had only risen to prominence in Los Angeles thanks to Ethan’s efforts. Without him, they wouldn’t have come this far so quickly.Stepping forward, Clara declared, "I’ll cover the medical expenses."Maya’s face darkened instantly, but before she could respond, her best friend Renee cut in sharply. "Miss Walport, what exactly is your relationship with Ethan? What gives yo
Chapter 124
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.
