I’m not one who is willing to sacrifice everything for love. There are things that I just won’t do, not even for the sake of love. I’m quite a selfish lover, you see.

  Esther is obviously very different from me. In the case of Esther Chan Pui Chan v Gilbert Leung Kam Ho, she became the subject of ridicule among her family and friends when her lover was convicted of bribery and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment.

  She even gave up her career. Imagine that.

  I personally don’t think love will make a person sacrifice so much, and apparently, that’s the view the court took. It was held that love alone would not have caused her to do all the things she did. She did it, partly because of love, partly because the man promised to marry her, and partly because he agreed to give her a share in his assets.

  Finding true love is important for us ladies, but if we have to choose between true love and financial security, the fact that we are living in a materialistic world where “money talks”, I am of the view that most girls will choose to give up true love and go for financial security.

  Of course, the best thing would be to have both!
