A Malaysian woman named Angeline Francis prioritised her long-standing romantic relationship with Jedidiah Francis over her substantial family inheritance, which amounted to approximately Rs 2,484 crore.
Daughter of business magnate Khoo Kay Peng and former Miss Malaysia Pauline Chai, Francis made the resolute decision to marry her beloved Jedidiah rather than continue to be part of her family's business and wealth.

When Angeline informed her parents about her relationship with Jedidiah, her father's objections due to their differing financial statuses led her to choose a different path. Choosing love, she left behind her family and embarked on a new chapter of life with her boyfriend. The couple exchanged vows in 2008 and has since built a life together, independent from their respective families.
Subsequently, Francis was summoned to provide testimony in court amidst her parents' divorce proceedings. Allegedly, she stood by her mother's side, commending her for maintaining familial unity while her father tended to business matters.
Sources indicated that Francis crossed paths with Jedidiah during her tenure at Oxford University, a period when their romantic involvement began.
In a recent event mirroring this, a comparable situation unfolded in India, where a Pakistani woman found love with an Indian man through online gaming. Surpassing national borders, the woman ventured across the boundary to reside with her partner, garnering widespread attention as news of her journey from Pakistan to India circulated widely.
