Dr. Malcolm Cheng Character Analysis

Alexandra’s husband, Dr. Cheng, is considered the best heart surgeon in Asia—and as such, he wears custom leather gloves and hires a driver to drive him around, so as to not put more wear and tear on his hands by driving himself places. He hosts a weekly Sunday lunch for his family in Hong Kong, where he checks in on how his children Eddie, Cecelia, and Alistair are doing.

Part 1, Chapter 10 Quotes

Eddie was always trying to guesstimate his parents’ net worth, much of which was gleaned from information his real estate friends leaked to him. It became an obsession of his, and he kept a spreadsheet on his home computer, diligently updating it every week based on property valuations and then calculating his potential future share. No matter how he ran the numbers, he realized he would most likely never make Fortune Asia’s list of “Hong Kong’s Top Ten Richest” with the way his parents were handling things.
