THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 45: Mr Romano
Sophie was keen to discover what the enigmatic Mr. Sinclair looked like.However, Ethan had strictly instructed Sarah to keep his identity confidential. She wouldn't betray his trust for any amount of money.Sarah quickly pushed the money back to Sophie and replied, "Miss Reynolds, I don't have a photo of Mr. Sinclair. But I can assure you, he's very handsome and about your age."Hearing the words "very handsome," Sophie's heart fluttered with joy.Even though her request to discuss the contract with Ethan was once again denied, the beautiful yet naive Sophie left with a spring in her step.******Phuket, ThailandSalvatore landed in Phuket and met up with his boss, Ferragamo Ferraro.Ferragamo had been deeply involved in various underground businesses in Phuket, frequently traveling across East Asia over the past few years. His operations included recruiting numerous fighters for underground matches, running illegal gambling rings, and smuggling contraband.In a dimly lit gymnasium,

Ferragamo, taken aback, asked, "Mr. Romano, could you describe Mr. Ethan to me? I wouldn't want to risk not recognizing him and causing any offense."With a resigned sigh, Mr. Romano replied, "Los Angeles is pristine now, but it will be a mess once you arrive!"He then directed his assistant to send Ferragamo a photograph. The person in the photo was Ethan himself!It turned out that Mr. Romano was actually the Sinclair family's butler, Frank.Despite his role as a butler, Frank had diligently learned about investing from Ethan's father over the years, ultimately amassing a personal fortune worth billions. His keen insights and dedication to learning had paid off handsomely.In addition to his financial acumen, Frank had also taken on the role of mentor, guiding and grooming many people over the years. Ferragamo was one of the many who had benefited from Frank's mentorship and wisdom.When Ferragamo saw the photograph of Ethan, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Sinclair is incredibl
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 47: Please, punish me as you see fit!
Salvatore barked the command, "Go!"In an instant, ten elite fighters from East Asia surged towards Ethan, their movements swift and deadly.**Bang! Bang! Bang!****Smack! Smack! Smack!**The air was filled with the brutal sounds of combat.Salvatore watched in disbelief as Ethan single-handedly took down all ten fighters with a lethal grace that left no room for doubt.Shaking off his astonishment, Salvatore grabbed his phone and dialed Ferragamo. "Mr. Ferraro, you need to send ten more fighters immediately. The ones you sent won't last more than ten minutes against Ethan Sinclair.""What?!"Ferragamo had just finished a chess game with Butler Frank when he received Salvatore's urgent call. His eyes widened with excitement at the news."An expert who can defeat ten men single-handedly? I must recruit such talent!""Tell me your location. I'm on my way."Without wasting a moment, Ferragamo hurried drive over. By the time Ferragamo arrived at the parking lot, the ten elite fighters h
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!
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 49: Maya's Reasons
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

Chapter 130: Divorce
Ethan looked at Sophie seriously and said, “Sophie, I’ve known you since you were seventeen. You’re not the kind of girl who throws herself at just anyone.”“Your parents raised you with discipline, and they never even allowed you to date boys. That’s why I think we should just put on a show to fool Maya — nothing more. Once she takes the bait, we stop. Agreed?”Sophie felt a twinge of disappointment, but she was also genuinely moved by Ethan’s integrity.“You’re a good man, Ethan. Men like you are so rare these days. Maya’s a fool for not treasuring you. She doesn’t deserve you,” she said softly. “Alright, I’ll go along with whatever you say.”“Good,” Ethan replied gently, brushing a strand of hair from Sophie’s face with a small smile.After that, he tidied up the shattered wineglass on the floor, then sat back and waited — knowing full well that Maya would be home soon.This time, he was going to give her a taste of her own medicine.At around 3:30 in the afternoon, Maya returned h
Chapter 129: Sophie's opinion
Mimi was a woman of pride and principle.Now that the Reynolds had risen to the ranks of a first-tier family in Los Angeles, every move they made was under the public’s microscope. Their reputation was steadily climbing, and they couldn’t afford even a hint of scandal.If Maya were to divorce Ethan immediately after his expulsion from the Sinclair family, it would spark relentless gossip and speculation. Such a move would damage the Reynolds’ image and jeopardize their hard-earned foothold in the competitive business world.Later that day, Maya returned to the New City residential estate in her sleek Audi. Inside, Ethan sat slumped on the couch, nursing a glass of wine, putting on a show of heartbreak and despair.Feigning nonchalance, he asked Maya about her meeting with Cayden. But Maya, of course, couldn’t reveal the truth. She fabricated a story, claiming she had only spoken to Cayden briefly before being kicked out of his hospital room.‘Really? You, the woman he’s obsessed with,
Chapter 128: I want to divorce Ethan
“They can do whatever they want! I’m divorcing Maya Reynolds anyway. She means nothing to me anymore!”Ethan had repeated those words to himself over and over, trying to convince his heart to catch up with his decision. But no matter how many times he said it, his fingers still betrayed him—dialing Maya’s number at 12:10 p.m.When she answered, he kept his voice calm, pretending as if nothing was wrong.“Maya, where are you? I made lunch. Are you coming home to eat?”From the other end, Maya replied casually, “I’m still at the office. I won’t be coming home for lunch. Just eat without me.”Ethan’s eyes narrowed.Office, huh? If he hadn’t sent someone to follow her, he would’ve believed that lie. Again.‘Three years of marriage, and all she’s done is lie to me… over and over again.’But Ethan didn’t confront her. Not yet.“Didn’t you say you were going to visit Cayden Huxley at the hospital? How did it go?” he asked, maintaining his calm façade.“I did,” she replied quickly. “I apologi
Chapter 127: Chosing Cayden over Ethan
Maya blinked in surprise at his request. “Huh? Lock the door? What if a nurse comes in later?”Cayden flashed a sly, almost devilish grin. “That’s exactly why we should lock it—to make sure no one interrupts. I thought we could have a little pillow talk.”As he spoke, he got out of bed and moved over to the window, slowly pulling the curtains shut. The golden sunlight that had flooded the room vanished, replaced by a soft, muted glow that filled the space with a suggestive, almost intimate atmosphere.Maya understood what Cayden was implying. Her cheeks flushed slightly, a mix of hesitation and awareness flickering across her delicate features. Yet, despite her reservations, she quietly turned the lock on the door.She walked over to the bed and sat down gently. “Cayden, I’m truly sorry my husband hurt you. Are your fingers still in pain?”Cayden looked down at his injured right hand with a helpless sigh. “Pain is the least of it. The real tragedy is that I may never use them properly
Chapter 126: Chop off Ethan fingers for six million dollars
The index and middle fingers on Ethan’s right hand—those were the exact ones he had shattered on Cayden’s hand. It was clear now: Cayden was aiming for a poetic form of revenge, repaying injury with identical injury. He wanted Ethan to suffer the same fate. Ethan couldn't help but let out a cold, amused smile. He actually admired the symmetry in that approach. With a calm tone, he asked, "What did Salvatore say?" Ferragamo replied, "Salvatore agreed. He said he had no choice—if he refused, Shane Huxley would’ve just hired someone else." He added quickly, "But don’t worry, Mr. Ethan. I haven’t ordered any counteraction. You made it clear—no moves against the Huxleys or Wests until you give the green light." "Alright..." Ethan murmured, his voice low. He had no intention of making a move until after the divorce was finalized. He wanted everything to fall into place at the right time. Without another word, Ethan ended the call. But just as he set the phone down, it rang again—this
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: Precise Revenge
"Ugh, why isn’t he fighting back? He’s just standing there, taking the hits! That’s such a waste of strength!" "What can he do? A poor man hitting a rich man? That’s a one-way ticket to financial ruin. Medical bills might be nothing to the wealthy, but for someone like him, they could mean the end of everything." Though they had retreated to safety, many patrons felt a sense of injustice for Ethan. Some had even pulled out their phones, snapping photos and recording videos—just in case Tony later tried to twist the truth. Meanwhile, Maya and Renee, who should have been worried about Ethan’s well-being, were lost in their own thoughts. Maya’s brows furrowed as she watched the scene unfold. "In the past, Ethan never hesitated to fight back, even against someone as powerful as Alexander. But now, he won’t even lay a finger on Tony. Could it be that he really has been disowned? That he’s completely powerless now?" Doubt crept into her mind. If Ethan truly had nothing left, then stayi
Chapter 123: hit Ethan
Clara’s teardrop landed softly on the Chanel handbag Ethan had once gifted her. The man walking beside her noticed her distress and silently handed her a tissue. “Do you have feelings for him?” he asked, his voice calm yet curious. Clara took the tissue and wiped her tears before letting out a shaky breath. “I let him down,” she admitted. “Despite that, he never held it against me. Instead, he forgave me and even made me his deputy president. When he was forced to step down, he recommended me to take his place. He’s always been incredibly kind to me.” Her voice grew heavier with emotion as she continued, “When the Reynolds family turned against him, I wasn’t able to help. Now, with the Wests and Huxleys targeting him, I still can’t do anything. I hate feeling this powerless.” “If it weren’t for his generosity, I would’ve lost everything. He’s the reason I’m still standing today, the reason I became president. No—" her eyes burned with resolve, "I can’t just walk away. I have to do
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
