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] Chaper 244- Something strange.

Esme kept her eyes fixed on him, leaning in slightly. "Actually, yes, there is. You don't make excuses, and you don't leave loose ends. I've noticed that much. Yet Jenny… she's still alive. The poison didn't kill her. Why is that? Couldn't find the antidote?" Her tone was laced with a mixture of challenge and curiosity.

A smirk slowly twisted across Ryan's lips, dark and unapologetic. He met her gaze without a flicker of remorse, his words a blunt truth. "No, Esme. I could find the antidote."

His eyes lingered on hers, the hint of a darker truth in them. "The point wasn't to kill her," he continued in a low, deliberate tone. "It was a warning. Jenny was meddling where she shouldn't have, dragging my brothers into schemes that could've destroyed them. I needed her to understand that her place in our lives was… conditional. And she got the message loud and clear."
