The Villainess Hides Her Wealth

i was reborn as the villainess sister who falls into ruin after tormenting the heroine out of jealousy. unfortunately, i realized this was a novel world *after* committing all the villainous acts. “are these people even worth clinging to?” a father who expects understanding only for himself, a brother who protects my illegitimate sister, and male leads who bristle at the sight of me—they’re all exhausting. to achieve true independence, i’ll start by hiding my fortune. — one day, my hidden business empire—concealed to avoid the stigma of being a villainess—was exposed. but the reaction was unexpected. “did you hear? the empire’s economic rankings were updated, and lady primrose is first!” “she must be unimaginably wealthy!” suddenly, everyone i once pushed away starts coming back. “family ties can’t be severed, no matter how much you want to.” “i don’t know why, but i came to you instead of lilyka.” “is giving us just one more chance so impossible?” the irony of finally receiving the love i once craved is laughable. their arrogance in assuming i’d welcome them back is even more infuriating. “get lost.” to every suitor offering partnership, i smiled brightly and declined.
