Episode 1–5English
For seven years the protagonist insisted on dividing every bill and returning every present to demonstrate she valued Arthur despite his mother vanishing with billions and leaving him drowning in debt. She documented her work transparently, endured his suspicion, and accepted a modest hot dog dinner on the night she was passed over for promotion.
Scrolling social media, she sees Jessica, the intern who replaced her, wearing a pigeon-blood ruby brooch from a premier auction house and thanking Mr. Whitmore — Arthur — for the gift. The realization that her devotion bought only contempt drives her to call the father she abandoned and declare she is ready to assume her role as heiress.
Key points
- Protagonist split costs and refused gifts for seven years to prove sincerity
