THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 107: Knowing of the True
Walt Disney Corporation was a relatively small company, valued at just under a billion dollars. Yet, the Huxleys had poured billions of dollars into crushing it, determined to bring it down.But the Sinclairs refused to back down. If the Huxleys wanted to destroy Walt Disney Corporation, the Sinclairs would do everything in their power to ensure its survival.Over the next two days, both families engaged in an all-out financial war, pumping hundreds of millions into the stock market to counter each other. The battle raged as massive amounts of capital flowed in and out, each side determined to outlast the other.However, when the markets closed on Friday, the stock price of Walt Disney Corporation remained unchanged—neither collapsing nor soaring. It was a stalemate.That same evening, Cayden received a call from his grandfather, Arthur Huxley."Grandpa..." Cayden answered, his voice hesitant. He had already funneled nearly a billion dollars of the Huxley family’s fortune into this fi
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 108: Ethan's plan for Divorce
Charleston sighed deeply, his voice filled with both understanding and wisdom.“Ethan, I had a feeling something like this might happen when the System first decided to place you as a live-in husband. Women are one of the greatest trials a man will face in his life, and experiencing betrayal isn’t necessarily a bad thing—it’s a painful but valuable lesson.”He paused before continuing, his tone more solemn.“I just didn’t expect you to fall so deeply for Maya Reynolds.”Charleston's words carried a hint of regret as he admitted, “She wasn’t the one I originally intended for you to marry. My plan was for you to wed an ordinary woman, someone simple and sincere. But your second brother thought that was unfair—he insisted on choosing a beautiful wife for you, thinking it was already difficult enough for you to endure three years as a live-in husband.”A bitter chuckle escaped him. “Now, it seems his good intentions have only caused you more pain.”Ethan remained silent, but deep down, he
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 109: Tailing his wife!
The audio file from the email echoed in Ethan’s mind relentlessly. No matter how hard he tried to push it away, it only grew clearer, replaying in his thoughts like a cruel torment.He exhaled sharply, forcing himself to find solace in the fact that it was only an audio recording—no visual evidence.But sometimes, words and sounds could be far more excruciating than a video.A video presented a fixed reality. But audio? Audio left gaps—spaces for the mind to fill with its own worst imaginings.And Ethan's imagination was merciless."That bastard, Tony West..."Fury surged through him as he slammed his fist against the sink, the impact rattling through his bones. He had already made up his mind—revenge was inevitable.Maya.Tony.Even Renee.Every single person involved in this betrayal would pay.Then, a nagging thought surfaced in Ethan’s mind.‘Why has Maya been leaving so early in the morning and coming home so late at night?’It didn’t make sense. She was pregnant—she should be re
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 110: Testing and Revenge
Ethan was seething with rage, his fury so intense that he couldn’t think straight. No man in his position would be able to.Without hesitation, he grabbed his phone and dialed Mr. Ferragamo."Mr. Sinclair, what can I do for you?" Ferragamo asked respectfully.Ethan’s voice was laced with venom. "I want Tony West found. Scour every inch of Los Angeles. And when you find him—castrate him."That bastard had humiliated him once, having an affair with Maya while they were married. Then, he had the audacity to run to New York and bring Cayden Huxley into the picture, making a fool of him all over again.He deserved far worse than just castration.Ferragamo hesitated. "Mr. Sinclair, but didn’t you already make peace with the West family? If I recall, Marissa Huxley even… offered herself to you as compensation for her son’s actions. Hasn’t this matter been settled?"He knew Ethan to be a man of his word—someone who never went back on an agreement. If Ethan had given Marissa his word, why was
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 111: Sophie's Evidence
Sophie had amassed millions of fans on Threads, all captivated by her stunning figure and effortless elegance.Today, she was dressed in a refined, sophisticated gown that exuded grace, a stark contrast to her usual bold and arrogant demeanor. The outfit softened her presence, making her seem almost demure.Her makeup was meticulously applied—her lips painted a striking tomato-red shade that matched her flawlessly polished nails."Ethan..."Her voice was soft, almost delicate, as she called his name, her eyes brimming with admiration and something deeper—something more intense.Ethan was well aware of Sophie’s infatuation with him. He had always kept his distance, refusing to entertain any possibility between them.But there was another reason he struggled to look her in the eye.Her brother, Alexander, had a twisted habit of secretly sending him private photos of her—pictures Ethan had never asked for, never wanted. Because of that, being around Sophie always left him uneasy.And yet
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 112: Sophie Dream's
Sophie was no saint either.Before Ethan revealed his true identity as the president of Walt Disney Corporation, she had been even more ruthless than Maya with her mockery and insults.Her claim of secretly loving him for three years? Nothing but a lie.If Ethan had remained poor, Maya might have still kept him around as a backup plan, a second choice. But Sophie? She wouldn’t have even spared him a glance.Ethan’s resolve hardened. ‘Since you think we should be together, and you've gone to such lengths to confess your love to me, then fine—I’ll grant you your wish!’Maya’s betrayal had pushed him into an emotional spiral.At that moment, all he wanted was revenge—on her, on the entire Reynolds family.But then, after ten minutes, Ethan abruptly pushed Sophie away.He couldn't let himself be consumed by impulsiveness. If he allowed things to escalate beyond the point of no return, he would be no better than Maya.Breathing heavily, Ethan sat on the floor and pressed his hands against
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 113: A Date with Clara
"Really?"Clara's excitement was evident—she almost lost her composure.For years, she had endured Maya’s arrogance, watching her flaunt her status as the president’s wife to get whatever she wanted.Clara, on the other hand, had been with the company long before Ethan even became president. She had worked tirelessly, dedicating herself to its growth.And yet, Maya, who had done next to nothing, had the privilege of occupying one of the best offices.A flicker of doubt crossed Clara’s mind. She hesitated before asking, "Mr. Sinclair… is everything alright between you and Maya?"Ethan, of course, couldn’t reveal the humiliating truth about his marriage.He smiled smoothly and said, "Everything is great. In fact, Maya just got pregnant recently, and we’re very much in love. But I’ve realized I’ve been too indulgent with her and, in doing so, I’ve neglected the rest of you here at the office. That’s not the mark of a good leader, is it?"Hearing that, Clara’s suspicions faded, replaced b
THE ANCESTRAl HEIR SYSTEM Chapter 114: Ethan get kicked out
Cayden crushed his cigarette against the pavement, his temper snapping as he turned on Tony. His voice was raw with frustration. "Screw you, Tony! Stop throwing Maya and your bullshit in my face! You think I don’t want revenge on Ethan Sinclair? I live for it! But do you have any idea what it takes? Money! Power! And guess what? My grandfather won’t give me another damn cent. So tell me—how the hell am I supposed to keep fighting him!?" For the past two days, Cayden had been a shadow of himself—angry, restless, but above all, afraid. He had bolted back to New York, too much of a coward to face Maya Reynolds again. Hell, he couldn’t even bring himself to text her back. Two days ago, he had sworn on everything that he would take her back from Ethan. Now? That promise felt like a joke. But Tony wasn’t ready to let this war end. Not yet. Not like this. "If Grandpa won’t give you the money, then find another way," Tony pushed, his tone sharp. "Ask your parents. Hell, borrow from Shan

Chapter 1: The Fall of a GeniusRain poured from the heavens like the world itself wept for him.Kael knelt in the center of the Embercloud Clan's ancestral plaza, soaked and trembling—not from fear, but from the cold truth crashing down on him like the storm above.He had no spirit root.A death sentence for a cultivator. A curse to a genius."You are dismissed," Elder Varun said coldly, withdrawing his hand from Kael’s back. "The test is complete. There is no mistake."Kael lifted his head. The spirit stone before him remained dim, lifeless. No glow. No resonance. No chance."But… but I felt something!" he protested. "There was a warmth. A pulse—""You imagined it," Varun snapped. "You hoped too much, boy. And hope is a dangerous thing for the talentless."Laughter rippled through the gathered disciples like wildfire."He really thought he had a chance?""Didn’t they call him a prodigy last year? Ha!""Just another pretender. I always knew he was nothing."Kael’s fists clenched on t
Chapter 145: Man of my dream, Ethan!!
Clara looked at Ethan with a soft, reflective gaze. “The moment I truly began to admire you was when I saw you sitting in the president’s office.”“I was honestly shocked. After all, I had promised the Reynolds family that I’d help freeze you out of the business world completely.”She let out a quiet sigh. “But there you were—suddenly promoted to president of Walt Disney Corporation. That alone proved your abilities far surpassed anything I had imagined. In that moment, I realized how naive I had been to underestimate you.”“If you had wanted revenge, everything I worked for over the past seven years could’ve been destroyed in an instant. But instead, you allowed me to stay on as your deputy. You never retaliated.”Clara’s voice grew softer. “Your ambition, your grace, and your sense of restraint... I’ve never seen those qualities so clearly in another man.”She smiled faintly. “That’s when I first started to fall for you.”Women often feel deeply when they encounter a man who is s
Chapter 144: Coming clean with the saddest past
Ethan had a growing sense that after Clara's family fell from grace, something deeply painful and complex had occurred.There had to be a tragic story behind it all—one filled with hardships and unexpected turns.Just as Ethan was preparing himself to settle in and listen to what he imagined would be a long, emotional recounting of her past...Clara suddenly said, “When I was 20, I became someone’s mistress—for three years.”The words hit Ethan like a punch to the chest.He was completely blindsided. He’d expected a slow buildup, a carefully unfolded confession—something that would only gradually reveal such a vulnerable truth.After all, that kind of admission was something most women would struggle to speak aloud. But Clara had said it plainly, with no trace of hesitation.Ethan sat frozen, stunned into silence, unsure how to respond.Clara’s expression remained composed, but tears shimmered at the corners of her eyes. She took another drag from her cigarette, trying to keep her emo
Chapter 143: Clara's background
Because Clara had feelings for Ethan, she was deeply concerned about the future of his unborn child with Maya. Whether the baby would be kept or not seemed tied to what kind of relationship Ethan and Maya might still have going forward.Ethan spoke honestly, “I’ve already discussed it with Maya. She’s decided to go through with the pregnancy, but she wants to raise the baby herself. When the time comes, I plan to fight for custody.”Clara knew that, in most cases, mothers were usually awarded custody after separation. She couldn’t understand why Ethan was so intent on taking custody himself—unless he genuinely loved children, she thought.Softly, Clara replied, “I really like kids too. Maya might have a difficult personality, but she’s beautiful, so your child is bound to be adorable.”She added with a smile, “Raising a beautiful child must be quite the experience.”She looked at Ethan with warmth in her eyes. It was clear she was trying to express her willingness to step in as a mate
Chapter 142: Renee's fate
During dinner, Ethan didn’t openly tell Corny about Renee’s affair. Instead, he danced around the subject, dropping vague hints that suggested something was amiss.At some point during the meal, whether deliberate or accidental, the conversation veered toward infidelity.All three of them—regardless of their differing views or gender—came to the same conclusion: once someone crosses the line and cheats, there's no going back. The trust is shattered forever.When dealing with a cheating spouse, they agreed there are really only two options: either walk away for good or pretend not to care and quietly pursue your own romantic interests on the side.But Corny wasn’t the kind of man who could play that game. Despite all the time he spent traveling for business, surrounded by opportunities, he had never once strayed. Not because he didn’t have the chance—but because he valued loyalty and commitment above all else.To him, love and marriage were sacred. And once that bond was broken, the on
Chapter 141: Renee's private life exposed!
Corny and Renee had tied the knot a year after Ethan and Maya, which meant they had been married for two years now. Unlike Ethan and Maya—who, for complex reasons, hadn’t been physically intimate in the first three years of their marriage, leading to Maya only recently becoming pregnant—Corny and Renee seemed like a typical couple. By all logic, they should have already started a family if that had been their intention. So when the topic of children came up, a shadow crossed Corny’s face. He fell quiet for a moment, then tipped his wine glass back and downed it in one long gulp. “My parents have been on our backs about having a baby ever since the wedding,” he said, his tone tinged with resignation. “But Renee always says she’s still young and hasn’t reached the ideal age for motherhood.” “She told me she doesn’t want to lose her figure or end up stuck at home as a full-time mom while she’s still in her prime.” Ethan let out a quiet scoff, the corners of his mouth curling with dis
Chapter 140: less concerned about appearance
Ethan was stunned, completely blindsided. He had walked into the evening expecting nothing more than a relaxed meal—some light conversation, maybe a glass of wine, and a chance to catch up. He never imagined Clara would drop something so heavy, so unexpectedly heartfelt. “I have feelings for you, Ethan,” she had said, her voice steady but her eyes betraying the storm behind them. “I’ve had them for a while now.” For a moment, he couldn’t speak. His mind reeled. He had always thought Clara was... different. Not indifferent exactly, but distant—untouchable. He’d picked up on her subtle gestures, the way her gaze lingered a bit longer than it should, but he never truly believed she’d take it further. Ethan wasn’t stupid. He knew Clara had feelings for him. He’d known for some time. But to hear her actually say it aloud, to see her sitting across from him—composed, but vulnerable—was something else entirely. This wasn’t college anymore. Adult relationships carried a weight that young
Chapter 139: All this while you never notices me
Ethan could easily tell that, as a businessman, Corny didn’t really have much in common with an unemployed guy like him. But Corny still seemed eager to get closer to Clara through Ethan. Ethan smiled and said, “No problem! When are you coming back to Los Angeles? I’ll set up a dinner for you and Miss Clara.” Corny replied, “Let me check my schedule... The earliest I can make it is the day after tomorrow.” Ethan then added, “Corny, do me a favor—don’t let your wife know you're coming back just yet.” Corny sounded puzzled. “Why? Every time I come home from a business trip, I always let her know in advance. If I don’t, she gets upset.” “My wife loves me a lot. She even insists on picking me up at the airport whenever I get back. She says she likes the feeling of welcoming her husband home.” Ethan sneered inwardly. Corny, you poor fool. You’ve been living in the dark for so many years and still have no clue! 'Why do you think she insists you tell her ahead of time? It’s because sh
Chapter 138: there are plenty of things you could do for me..
“Whoa!” Mike exclaimed, eyes wide in shock. His face turned serious with a hint of nervousness. “Man, that’s... seriously intense.” Ethan smirked. “It gets better. Her husband’s going to catch you two in bed.” Mike nearly jumped out of his seat. “Hey, don’t joke like that!” He looked genuinely alarmed. “Come on, we’ve been friends for over a decade—you wouldn’t throw me under the bus like that, right?” Clearly shaken, Mike imagined worst-case scenarios. What if the husband showed up with a gun? Or even a baseball bat? Either way, it sounded painful. But Ethan reassured him calmly, “Relax. The guy’s not violent. If he walks in, the worst he’ll do is break down in tears. He’s not the type to get physical.” Mike breathed a little easier, but was still puzzled. “So what’s the deal? What did this guy do to you that you want to put him through something like that?” Ethan’s tone softened. “You’ve got it wrong. He didn’t do anything to me. He’s actually a good man, and I consider him a
