Rich People Problems-Kwan 2017 (WWT)

Peik Lin walked up to the middle of the bridge, where she was met by the pastor, who
looked a little too disturbingly like Chris Hemsworth, and the man she was about to
marry—Alistair Cheng.
Nick and Rachel beamed joyously as the couple exchanged their handwritten vows,
while Neena Goh, dressed in a gold-sequined Guo Pei gown with a plunging neckline,
wept noisily. The Young sisters—Felicity, Catherine, Victoria, and Alix—glared at the
mother of the bride with varying degrees of disapproval while shedding their own discreet
tears.
“I can’t believe my baby Alistair is getting married,” Alix sniffed to her sisters. “It
seemed like only yesterday he was crawling into my bed, too afraid to asleep in the dark,
and look at him now.”
“Well, the boy was smart enough to marry a woman as capable as Peik Lin! I must
admit I am quite impressed with what she and Alistair have done with Tyersall Park,”
Felicity said.
“I’m impressed by what they all did!” Catherine interjected. After all, it was she who
cast the tiebreaking vote between the sisters one year ago when Nick had come to them
with a radical new proposal hours before they were about to sign the sales contract with
Jack Bing.
The result of Nick’s proposal had now come to life as the just completed Tyersall Park
Hotel and Museum, which preserved the main house as a historic landmark while
breathing new life into it as an incomparably elegant new boutique hotel run by Colin
Khoo and Araminta Lee. Set among nineteen acres of lush gardens in the immediate
vicinity of the main house were forty guest villas exquisitely designed by Oliver T’sien in
partnership with Axel Vervoordt. Beyond this rose Tyersall Village, a forty-five-acre
community of sustainable housing specifically designed for artists and middle-income
families, built by Goh Developments—the construction company owned by Peik Lin’s
family.
“I think Father would be proud of Nicky. I don’t think he was ever truly comfortable
coming home every night to this decadent palace, when he spent the whole day being a
doctor to the poorest people on the island,” Alix said approvingly. From the row behind
the sisters, Cassandra Shang leaned in and whispered, “I’m told every single house in
Tyersall Village sold on the first day of offering, because for so long no one with less than
ten million dollars has been able to afford a house with a garden in Singapore! But
apparently the people living in those big houses along Gallop Road are furious that the
hoi polloi are now moving in to this tony neighborhood!”
“I don’t mind what they did with Tyersall Village, but all those Buddha heads in the
garden have got to go!” Victoria huffed. “I wonder if Peik Lin had anything to do with that.
Those parents of hers look like they could be Buddhist.”
Felicity shook her head. “I don’t think Peik Lin was involved. I think the Buddhas
belong to the secret investor who chipped three billion in to Nick’s venture. I just wish I
knew who it was!”
When the ceremony had concluded, the guests proceeded to the wedding banquet at
