Part 2, Chapter 7 Summary

Eleanor and her friends Lorena, Nadine, and Carol head to a famous knock-off market in Shenzhen where vendors sell handbags made by the same factories and with the same materials as designer ones. There, Eleanor runs into Jacqueline Ling, who tells her that she met Nick’s girlfriend at the Tan Hua party. Jacqueline calls Rachel an “overconfident ABC” and suggests that she was eyeing everything in the house, implying that she is a gold digger. Then, she mentions that Mandy, her daughter, will be in Singapore for Colin and Araminta’s wedding, even though Mandy and Araminta are rivals. Jacqueline leaves when the other women come over to greet her, leaving Eleanor with the idea that Amanda would make a good match for Nick.

Part 2, Chapter 8 Summary

Rachel goes to meet with the women invited to Araminta’s bachelorette party. All the young women are heiresses and rich socialites, and Rachel struggles to fit in with them. They take Araminta’s mother’s new plane, which is equipped with beautiful, white leather seating, a media room, a library, and a yoga studio. A girl named Parker Yeo asks Rachel if she’s a Taipei Plastics Chu, and again, Rachel says that she isn’t. She asks Parker why everyone keeps asking her that, but Parker just smirks and runs off to tell the other women what she’s learned.
