Crazy Rich Asians: Here's Everything That Happens in the Books
3
The final book in the trilogy, Rich People Problems, wraps up all the plots with a neat little bow, but not before one more helping of drama.
Rachel and Nick are happily married, but Nick is summoned back to Singapore to see his ailing grandmother Su Yi, with whom he has been out of contact since she refused to sanction his marriage. All the Youngs are jostling, in hopes of a share of her will. Eddie tries to keep Nick from seeing Su Yi, thinking he has a shot at being the heir now, but Nick is able to see her and reconcile. She leaves a share of her estate, Tyserall Park, to all her children, plus Nick and Alistair. The heirs agree to sell the estate to Jack Bing, who wants it first for his new wife, Kitty, then for his vindictive daughter Colette, but Nick hesitates.
Astrid is dealing with issues of her own. She's engaged to Charlie at last, but a hidden-camera sex tape of them leaks and causes a huge scandal. Michael, her ex-husband, and Isabel, Charlie's ex-wife, turn out to be behind it, and while Astrid flees into hiding, Charlie threatens to sue Michael for illegal surveillance unless he signs off on the divorce and leaves them alone.
Kitty, meanwhile, is furious that her husband decides to buy Tyserall Park for Colette instead of her, so she becomes a secret partner with Nick's group to buy the estate and keep it as a museum and hotel. The novel ends with Colin and Araminta finally having a child after years of infertility, Peik Lin and Alistair getting married, and Rachel telling Nick that she's pregnant.
