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.

Kai had shown them that he was not someone to be trifled with, and they knew, without a doubt, that he could—and would—drain them dry if they ever made the mistake of underestimating him.

The chaotic tension that had enveloped the room began to dissipate, leading to the early end of the party. Guests, still buzzing with the intensity of the earlier exchange, made their exits, their conversations hushed and cautious. Kai and Esme, satisfied with how things had unfolded, turned to leave as well.

As Esme approached the door, a strange feeling washed over her—like a persistent gaze had been fixed on her since the moment she entered. She paused, her instincts tugging at her to glance back. Kai, noticing her hesitation, also turned, his eyes following hers.
