Chan said, however, he believed Hui and Mr. X had developed a loving relationship during their four-month affair, even calling each other husband and wife before it soured.

Oh yeah, I can see that too.... what with her blackmailing him for $75,000... sounds like a marriage alright.... more like a divorce... but didn't she realize that's why you get married in the first place? To get all his money? It's works a lot better then blackmail, since you got the law on your side to milk him for all he's worth and then send him to the alleys.
