K1ERA

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.

The Heiress's Comeback

Esme's laughter slowly faded, her amusement lingering in the air as she leaned back, shifting Ray onto her lap. She positioned herself comfortably, lowering her head until it rested just beside his. Ray, still with a hint of concern, looked up at her, his voice barely more than a whisper.

"Esme," he murmured, the worry evident in his tone. His voice softened further, laced with genuine concern, "Are you sure Aron is okay?"

Esme's brow furrowed slightly, her eyes searching his face as if trying to decipher the meaning behind his words. "What do you mean?"

Ray lifted his head from her shoulder and met her gaze, his worry growing. "After all, Aron is alone, and those people are really vicious. Are you sure he's okay?"
