Kiki carried Curly into the bedroom and emerged shortly after with a ruby necklace, which she handed to Lucas Robertson.
It was a heart-shaped ruby necklace surrounded by a circle of diamonds. The gemstone was exquisitely cut; it was clearly priceless.
Lucas Robertson held the ruby necklace and asked in surprise, "Is this a thank-you gift for me? But I'm a man, I can't wear this."
Kiki glared at Lucas Robertson. "Curly Baby is out of diapers and formula. Sell this and buy some for her."
"Use a ruby to buy diapers and formula?" Isn't this blowing things way out of proportion?
"Yes, because I'm out of money."
All her money had been deposited into various bank accounts by Sienna Johnson, but Kiki didn't know the passwords and couldn't withdraw any of it. The only valuable item she possessed was this ruby necklace. Once, when they were shopping, Sienna Johnson had seen Kiki admiring it and bought it, jokingly saying it would be her dowry.
