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.

"We know we're useless and can't even give you the money you want," he continued, his tone shifting to one of mock despair. "But please, don't do anything to my wife. Please."

He fell to his knees, a theatrical display of helplessness, hands clasped in a gesture of surrender. The elders, initially taken aback, exchanged confused glances, unsure how to respond to his performance.

Esme observed, a slight smirk tugging at her lips, appreciating the act but knowing the truth behind it. The atmosphere thickened with tension, the elders' expressions hardening as they tried to regain control of the situation.

"Enough of this charade," one elder snapped, frustration seeping through his voice, but Jay merely bowed his head, feigning further distress. The room crackled with a mix of indignation and confusion, as the power dynamics shifted subtly with each moment of his act.
