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.

"I have insomnia, officer. I took strong sleeping pills last night. I didn't hear or smell anything until the commotion woke me up. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to test my blood." She paused, her voice heavy with grief. "My husband… he…" Her voice broke, and she gestured toward Ryan. "This is my youngest, Ryan. He woke me up."

Ryan stepped forward reluctantly, his face ghostly pale, his eyes hollow. His body trembled as if a chilling wind had swept through him. Katrina's gaze turned toward him, her smile thinning.

"Mr. Ryan, I've heard about you," Katrina began, her tone measured. "Perhaps you can tell me why this fire happened? If your wife was unaware, then surely you might have noticed something."
