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.

He chuckled, a hint of genuine amusement slipping through. "Yes, ma'am. My father used to say I was as sweet as one, hence the name."

Esme's lips curved into a smirk. "I see. But I also heard that eating too many mangoes could cause... issues."

Alphonso held her gaze, unflinching. "Depends on the person, ma'am."

"Interesting," she murmured, narrowing her eyes. He seemed so... well-practiced. She wondered briefly how much he rehearsed before walking into her office each morning. "Now, Mr. Alphonso, if I'm not mistaken, my secretary used to be someone else—Mr. Joe? Or something along those lines. And yet, here you are. I don't remember hiring you."

He stiffened, just for a fraction of a second, before bowing his head slightly. "I apologize, ma'am. I must have neglected to introduce myself properly. I've been your secretary for the past three months."
