When you really love someone, they’ll always hold a small place in your heart, even if they are long gone. Netizens suspect this is the case for Malaysian-American model Mandy Lieu (劉碧麗).
The model was recently noted to have mortgaged a property she had once shared with Macau tycoon Alvin Chau (周焯華). While the act itself wasn’t odd, it was rather coincidental that she did so a few weeks before Alvin’s arrest. The 47-year-old tycoon was arrested on 28th November on suspicions of operating a cross-border gambling platform and money laundering.
Mandy had dated Alvin for over five years. Unfortunately, it ended when he refused to divorce his wife Heidi Chan (陳慧玲). The model had devoted a lot to him and even had children by him. However, she eventually decided to cut ties with him, marked with a very extravagant “breakup fee”.
The two have not appeared together in the news since then. However, netizens were curious to note that the 36-year-old was mortgaging her former love nest with Alvin. The property is a luxury high-rise apartment worth HK$120 million (~RM65 million). Apparently, Mandy had bought the unit in 2014 for HK$91.32 million (~RM49.3 million).
According to Hong Kong media, the transaction for the apartment took place in early November. The apartment has notably been mortgaged to Melco Resorts & Entertainment (Macau) for debt repayment. Although there has not been any news on why she has done so, netizens suspect it may be for Alvin’s sake.
It’s an adorable sentiment. However, others are certain Mandy is only attempting to transfer her assets to the UK, which is her current residence. Mandy herself has not said anything about the matter, nor about her former lover’s arrest.
As for Heidi, Alvin’s wife? Well, she has made her Instagram private. It certainly isn’t a good time to be related to Alvin. Mandy was lucky enough to dodge a bullet there!
