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!"

She shrugged, swinging her legs a little, like a child on a swing. "You're always so serious," she said, her teasing smile never wavering. "You should lighten up."

Kai clenched his fists, his frustration boiling over. "Esme, I'm not joking. Get down. Now."

Her gaze met his, and for a split second, her playful demeanor seemed to falter, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared. "Why do you care so much? Afraid I'll fail?" she asked, her voice soft but still carrying that edge of challenge.
