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 161- Father in law ?

Helga knew instantly that the second aunt harming herself was out of the question—it simply didn't fit her.

A woman who commanded respect wherever she went, who wore her confidence like armor, would never submit herself to such a humiliating fate. The very idea was absurd.

Her eyes returned to the young man, or rather, the young mer, standing off to the side.

His stillness, the way he seemed to try and make himself smaller, almost invisible, beneath the heavy clothing he wore in the scorching heat, gave everything away.

The telltale signs were there—bruises hidden under long sleeves, the way he avoided eye contact, the posture of someone long conditioned to endure pain without protest.

Helga didn't need to ask more questions. The whip hanging on the wall wasn't for show; its use was clear.

And it wasn't the second aunt or her daughter who bore its marks. It was him—the silent, subdued mer standing before her.
