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.

"Yes, Esme?" he responded, his usual professional tone slipping slightly.

Esme leaned back in her chair, her expression hardening as she spoke. "I need you to check something else for me. Find out how long she was with these men before marriage. How long did they date before she decided to marry them?"

Aron nodded immediately and returned to his laptop, his fingers tapping furiously on the keyboard. Esme waited in tense silence, her gaze fixed on the ceiling, the ticking of the clock in the background the only sound in the room.

After a few minutes, Aron stopped typing. He looked up, his face a mix of disbelief and understanding. "It's all the same," he said, his voice low.

Esme's heart sank. "What do you mean, 'the same'?"

"Five years," Aron said slowly. "She dated them for one year before having a child with each of them. Then, she waited four more years before actually marrying them."
