Rich People Problems-Kwan 2017 (WWT)

As soon as the door closed, Mabel said in a hushed tone, “I know your father had a big
meeting with all the lawyers from Tan and Tan two days ago. Very hush hush. And then
Freddie Tan went off to see Su Yi. By himself.”
“Hmmm,” Jacqueline said, digesting this intriguing new tidbit.
Cassandra winked at Jacqueline. “Don’t worry—I’m sure you’re still in the will!”
Jacqueline laughed lightly. “Come on, I am the last person to expect to be in Su Yi’s
will. She’s already been so generous to me over the years.”
“I wonder what she did this time?” Cassandra mulled.
“Well, until these pictures leaked, I actually thought Astrid might have a chance at
inheriting Tyersall Park,” Jacqueline theorized.
“Astrid? Never, lah! Su Yi is so old-fashioned, she would never leave that house to a
girl! She might just as well leave it to her own daughters!” Mabel insisted.
“Then if it’s just the boys, my bet is on Eddie. I hear that he’s really been working
overtime to be the number-one grandson. He apparently won’t leave her side!” Cassandra
reported.
“I’m not sure it will be Eddie. Su Yi told me herself that she can’t take him seriously,”
Jacqueline said.
“Well then she’s running out of contenders. No way she would ever let one of the Leong
boys get ahold of the house, but maybe one of the Aakaras?” Mabel wondered.
Cassandra snorted. “That would be too ironic for words! Would she really spite Philip
and Nicky—the only true Youngs left—in favor of those foreign grandsons getting Tyersall
Park? I think not.”
“Maybe she’s had a change of heart, then. Don’t you think Nicky might have been
reinstated?” Jacqueline said.
“Definitely not. He’s still banned from the house! My sources tell me that he goes over
there every day groveling on his knees, hoping to see her, but he still can’t get in. Why
would she suddenly give him Tyersall Park now?” Cassandra argued.
Mabel scrunched her face. “That stupid boy. Giving everything up for that ugly girl.”
“Come on lah, Mabel, she’s not ugly. She’s quite pretty, actually. She’s just…not the
kind of beauty one would have expected for Nicky,” Jacqueline remarked diplomatically.
“I know what you mean. Rachel is pretty, but in a very conventional way. Her lack of
style doesn’t do her any favors, either,” Cassandra said.
Jacqueline smiled. “I wish I could tell her that she needs to grow out her hair by
another four inches. That medium-long length is just so American.”
Cassandra nodded in agreement. “And her nose is a bit too rounded. Her eyes could be a
bit bigger too.”
“And have you seen the way she sits? So frightfully common.” Mabel sniffed.
“Uggh! I can’t bear to listen to any more of this!” Lucia shrieked in anger, pushing her
chair back dramatically. “You’re all talking about Rachel as if she was some kind of show
dog! What does it even matter what she looks like, as long as they love each other? Uncle
