The Heiress's Comeback

Being adored by one's parents and hoping to achieve something that could bring them happiness, a child sacrificed their carefree personality and chose the path of books and knowledge at an early age. Without looking back to see how those they thought were their parents were, in truth, only pushing them from behind. Esme, a prodigy from an early age, excelled in everything, unlike her sister, who, though adored by both parents, always lagged behind. Finally, after saving the company from debts and restoring it to its former glory, Esme looked back at her parents in hope of recognition but... "You are not even my daughter, you pathetic fool." "Hehe, Sister, how about I take your fiancé?" "Um, you see, Esme, I love your sister." "Tch, insect, how dare you reject checks whenever I, your mother, asked for money!" Those words lingered in Esme's mind before she lost consciousness and woke up inside a prison. "What are you doing here, Aron?" Esme looked at a handsome young man seated in a wheelchair, gazing at her with amusement. He was her sole business competitor, and now, he was visiting her in prison. "Nothing, just came here for a proposal, Miss Esme..." Let's see what awaits the journey of an heiress who was wrongly accused of being fake, betrayed by her fiancé, and had to seek support from her business rivals.

Ray opened his mouth to protest, but Esme wasn't done. "And you, Mr. Scientist," she snapped, turning to Jay, "do you have any idea how much it costs to fix your lab every time you burn it down? Because I sure do. I'm the one who ends up scrubbing the floors and replacing the equipment. So, tell me, how does the money for this diamond ring, which is practically a drop in the ocean, even register as a crisis?"

Jay shifted uncomfortably, a faint blush creeping across his cheeks as he struggled to find a comeback. Esme wasn't finished with him yet.

"And you, Mr. Kai," she continued, her voice rising with each word, "do you have any clue how much it costs every time you lose your temper and break a client's arm? Who do you think has to settle those disputes? Spoiler alert: it's always me!"

Kai squirmed in his seat, the weight of her words settling heavily on him. He opened his mouth to respond but thought better of it, recognizing the truth in her statement.
