Seven years of splitting bills end when a boyfriend gifts a priceless brooch to his employee.
After seven years of dividing every expense and refusing gifts to demonstrate she valued Arthur beyond the billions his mother stole, the protagonist loses a promotion to an intern named Jessica. A social media post reveals Jessica wearing a pigeon-blood ruby brooch from a top auction house, captioned with thanks to Mr. Whitmore. Recognizing the piece as Arthur's gift, the protagonist realizes her long proof of devotion meant nothing to him. She then calls the father she left behind and announces she is ready to return home as heiress.
