William left his wife Linda and their teenage daughter, Isabelle, to chase a new life with his young mistress. He thought he’d found happiness, but after a string of failures—including losing his job and family—he hit rock bottom. Years later, desperate for stability, he applied for a packaging job at a beef jerky company, never expecting to come face-to-face with the daughter he abandoned.

To his shock, Isabelle was the company’s CEO. She had built the business from scratch after their home was seized due to unpaid debts William left behind. With only her mother’s last savings and a broken heart, Isabelle restarted their jerky business by sneaking into their old home, salvaging equipment, and secretly cooking in an abandoned house. She worked tirelessly, eventually landing a major contract that changed her life.

Despite her success, Isabelle never forgot her mother’s sacrifices—or her father’s betrayal. When William showed up at her company, she kept things professional but made it clear he wouldn’t be working there long. Later, she met him behind the warehouse with a surprising gift: the old kitchenware from their failed business.

“I think we’re even now, Dad,” she told him. “You have everything you need to rebuild—just like I did.” With that, Isabelle walked away, leaving William holding the tools of his past and a chance at redemption.
