William left his wife Linda and their teenage daughter Isabelle to chase a new life with his young mistress. But things quickly fell apart. Their family home was seized due to unpaid debts, and Linda and Isabelle were left homeless. William vanished, and Isabelle was forced to grow up fast. Driven by desperation and love for her mother—who was later diagnosed with heart disease—Isabelle decided to restart the failed family beef jerky business. She snuck into their old home to recover the equipment, used an abandoned house to cook, and experimented tirelessly until she created the perfect product.

She pitched it to major retailers, landed her first deal, and—with help from an investor—scaled her business, bought back their home, and funded her mother’s surgery. Years later, she became the CEO of a successful food company. One day, while inspecting a factory, Isabelle was stunned to find her father, William, working there. He was shocked to see her and ashamed of the past. Isabelle told him their struggles, her rise, and her mother’s survival—all without him. She fired him but gave him their old kitchenware and oven, telling him to rebuild his life like she did. “You have everything you need,” she said, walking away. “Just believe in yourself.”
