Abby Choi Tin-fung's mother, Cheung Yin-fa, testified in court that her former son-in-law, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, was lying when he claimed he had financially supported her and repaid her debts. Cheung accused the Kwong family of being unscrupulous in demanding the return of HK$150,000 in shopping expenses she owed him while failing to repay the over HK$70 million Alex had received from Abby for investments.
She rejected the suggestion that she was a gambling addict that required a HK$4 million mortgage to repay her mother's debts. Cheung emphasized that the Kwong family was reluctant to sell a HK$72 million flat in Ho Man Tin until Abby threatened legal action. The trial, presided over by Deputy Judge Brian Keith and a nine-member jury, is ongoing.
