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.

Jay stepped closer, his eyes blazing with frustration. "Important? Isn't it just because he's your ex-fiancé that you went through so much to make this deal happen?"

Esme's expression hardened, her irritation rising as she squared her shoulders. "What are you getting at, Jay?"

"You know what I'm saying," he shot back, his voice thick with accusation. "You've gone above and beyond for this deal, and it makes me wonder—are you really doing this for the company, or is it because of him?"

Her jaw clenched as she glared at him, anger flashing in her eyes. "This isn't about him! This is about business, and you know it. I don't care about my past with him."

"Really?" Jay retorted, taking another step closer, his intensity palpable. "Because it sure looks like you're putting him ahead of us. I'm your husband, Esme! I have a right to know what's going on, especially when it concerns our company."
