Heir to Their Ruin

At the Bennett family dinner, Ethan Bennett, the least-favored second son, tears up the inheritance waiver his father Richard demands he sign. Richard explodes, threatening to cut him off, while his older brother Adrian smirks and urges that Ethan be left to starve until he crawls back. But none of them know that the secret fund his grandmother left him has already completed a controlling acquisition of their company’s biggest rival.

Cast out and with his accounts frozen, Ethan walks away from the suffocating Bennett house. He blocks every relative, leaves the family group chat, and makes a single call: “Claire, it’s me, Ethan. The plan can begin.”

As the family waits for him to beg, Ethan holds a power they never saw coming—and the heir they discarded may be the one to bring their ruin.
