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.

[Volume 1] Chapter 78- Friends !

The Aron brothers stood there, blinking, still trying to wrap their heads around what they had just witnessed.

Esme, always serious and composed, had laughed—a real, genuine laugh they didn't think she was even capable of. Ray's comment about her mer companion had come at just the wrong moment, and whatever lightness Esme had shown disappeared like a candle blown out too soon.

"You two seem like good friends," Ray said, misinterpreting the scene entirely, his face lighting up with innocent curiosity.

Esme's laughter died so abruptly it was almost painful to watch. She turned toward Ray, her smile still in place, though it had become brittle and a little too tight.

"Yes," she said, her voice sugary sweet, "best friends."

Ray's jaw twitched, his gaze flickering between Esme and the mer. His brothers remained equally still, their previous amusement now tinged with something far less friendly.
