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 45- How dare you..

The mer finally hesitated, staring at her as if trying to decipher her words. The smile remained plastered on Esme's face, but internally, her mind raced to come up with the next distraction. She could feel the seconds ticking by, each one bringing her closer to the moment she would have to decide—stalling for the brothers, or taking matters into her own hands.

Her fingers twitched, ready to strike if the moment called for it. The mer was too close now, too focused on her. If she was going to act, she needed to be quick, but she wasn't ready to play that card just yet.

"Tell me, ," she whispered softly, keeping him engaged, "why risk everything for someone like me?"

"Are you crazy? "he muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing. "You've been poisoned, and you're still making jokes?"

Esme shrugged, letting her hands fall from her face. "What can I say? Old habits die hard."
