After Divorce, I Became A Billionaire

4. Heir

"Back already, my dear?" The kind-hearted mother was standing, eagerly awaiting her return.

When Emily Mitchell's mother saw her youngest daughter return after years of living in seclusion and going through a difficult marriage and divorce, she experienced a range of complex emotions. She felt immense happiness and joy as her cherished daughter returned. She knew that Emily had faced many challenges during her secluded life and difficult marriage, and her daughter's return was something she had always wished for. She remembered the happy memories of Emily's childhood, and her daughter's presence brought a memorable moment of happiness to her.

Before she could finish speaking, Emily rushed to hug her mother and nestled in her arms, just like when she was a child. She expressed regret to her mother for not listening to her parents and leaving the family to marry a stranger, all because he was her first

love, and not worth leaving her ex-husband.

"Welcome back, dear. Sit down and have a meal with the family. We can talk after dinner."

"Mom heard that you were coming back, so she rushed to the kitchen to cook all your favorite dishes, trying to finish them all. It would be a waste if you don't eat them all." The gentle teasing from her older brother was his way of welcoming and loving her.

"Sister, don't tease her like that. Okay, sit down and eat everything." Their mother spoke gently.

After dinner, her mother continued, "But, how has everything been with you during this time? After marrying him, did he treat you kindly and care for you?" The worried questions from her mother were reflected in her caring and gentle expression.

Under the love of her parents and family, Emily felt her own shortcomings. Emily, the youngest daughter of the family, had always lived with the love and expectations of the family placed above all else throughout her life. But one day, she met a special man, a true love that she couldn't resist. It was a sincere and deep love that she felt she couldn't live without. Emily Mitchell dared to step out of the family's circle, give up her safety and family honor to marry the man she loved, even though it meant losing her parents' support and facing criticism and opposition from her family and friends. She decided to marry him, regardless of the difficulties.

But now, after a long time living together, Emily began to feel regret. Regret for trading her family happiness and honor for the life she had chosen. Despite the love that still lingered in her heart, the pressures and disagreements in her marriage had left Emily feeling exhausted and regretful of her decision.

She understood that not every love was strong enough to withstand all challenges. Regret had now overshadowed the once-happy moments, and Emily had to face the truth that perhaps her decision was not always right.

"I'm fine, Mom."

"Fine? How could you be fine with that scoundrel? If I ever meet him, I'll beat him until he can't walk anymore." He spoke in anger but mixed with some restraint because now his daughter had divorced that scoundrel.

"All right, Dad, I'm here."

In Emily's remorseful heart, her elderly father handed her a stack of documents. They were related to the heir of the Williams family, the one designated to take over the family. Surprisingly, these documents revealed that Emily Mitchell was the chosen heir.

"I need you to go through some of these documents, as they are related to the family heir - which is you."

She took the stack of documents from her father's hand and read them with undivided attention, not missing a single word.

This event changed Emily's life entirely. She knew in advance that she had been designated as the heir of the Williams family and accepted her father's words, deciding to become the heir of the most prestigious family in the country. Of course, Emily's appointment as the heir caused much controversy and disagreement within the family. Some elders refused to accept it, believing that Emily lacked the experience and abilities to take on this important role. However, with the majority's unanimous support and trust in her, Emily Mitchell continued to step into a new life with determination and confidence.

The divorce had helped her escape the burden of an unhappy marriage and provided the opportunity to focus on developing her career and new family.

"We believe that the strength and values of our family will create a new world and make the Williams family even more prosperous." The elderly father put his hand on her shoulder, speaking with hopeful eyes at this new chapter she was creating.

"Yes, I won't let anyone down."

Emily Mitchell, just overnight, became a billionaire thanks to inheriting the wealth of billions of dollars from the family. In the midst of it all, she felt a lightness and liberation from leaving an unhappy marriage. A sense of freedom she had lost for many years.

However, Emily's emotions were a great responsibility and pressure to manage the family's assets and reputation. She realized she was facing a heavy responsibility, and the initial confidence came from the desire to ensure she could cope with it. The rapid transformation from an ordinary young woman into a billionaire posed many challenges in adapting to her new life.

Moreover, Emily felt immense pressure from her family and the society around her, expecting her to excel and succeed in her role. She felt she needed to prove to herself and others that she was deserving of the wealth and responsibility she had inherited.

But along with the pressures and responsibilities, Emily also felt a profound sense of gratitude and respect for her family and her ancestors. She understood that this wealth was not solely hers, but the result of the efforts and love of many generations before her.
