她和家人.

ㅤ Christabel Crescélyne Chua, lovingly known as Céline, was born on a warm September day in 1997, in the vibrant heart of Singapore. Her parents, Chinese conglomerate Jeremy Antonius Chua (formerly Cai Huiwen) and French journalist Cindy Fan, had left behind the Cai Holding Group and their familiar Guangdong home in 1990, migrating to Singapore to build a new life. The entrepreneurial spirit ran deep in Céline's family, with her father, Jeremy, diving deep into the fast-paced retail industry. In 1994, just before her brother's birth, Jeremy founded Harmony Department Store, a modest venture that eventually rise to prominence as Singapore’s top department store by 2004, setting the stage for the family’s future success.

ㅤ Yet, beneath the success of Harmony lay a tale of resilience. In 1990, on the year of his migration, Jeremy, the third-born of six children in the powerful Cai family under chairman Cai Lei, was expelled from the family, along with his sibling, following a bitter family conflict. With the weight of their exile hanging over them, the brothers sought refuge in Singapore. There, with a portion of their fortune, they invested in Standard Chartered Bank in 1992 and began to rebuild their lives. Through determination and strategic investments, the brothers created thriving businesses. As the years passed and their financial and businesses success became undeniable, the Cai family reconciled with Jeremy and his sibling in 2005. The reunion not only mended broken familial ties but also resulted in the Cai Holding absorbing the brothers' businesses. Harmony was soon rebranded as CASCADE Department Store, transformed into a luxurious destination for middle and high-end clientele, and went under into Cai Fashion and Retail, Co Ltd, with Jeremy as a chairman.

ㅤ Against this backdrop of legacy and family intrigue, Céline carved her own path. Today, she stands as the High-End Jewelry, Perfume, and Accessories Director at CASCADE, a role she acquired by her parents force towards the division opening in 2018. Working alongside her brother, Calvin, who directs the garment division, and under the steady leadership of their mother, Cindy, the Managing Director of CASCADE, Céline has brought a new vision to the store’s luxury offerings.

ㅤ However, Céline’s ambitions stretch beyond CASCADE. She is in the midst of crafting her own high-end jewelry brand, CRESTINÉ, a project that reflects her personal passion for elegance and artistry. Though the prototypes of her first collection have been meticulously crafted, the brand's official launch is still on the horizon, as it undergoes early-stage funding and refinement in its research and development phase. CRESTINÉ, soon to be housed under the Cai Fashion and Retail roof, promises to be a extension of Céline's creative jewel ambitions.

──────────୨ৎ──────────

Céline’s life is a delicate weave of legacy and aspiration, balancing the weight of her family's complex history with her own dreams of innovation and luxury. Between the past and the future, she got both the strength of her heritage and the brilliance for her individual vision. #童话.

Act III: The brighter a lady shines, the faster she may burn.

#蔡秀花: I hope I can be as free as the singing birds, and as happy as the innocent children out there.

ㅤ ㅤ Céline, born into the demanding world of a powerful conglomerate family, was shaped by the harsh realities of her upbringing. Her childhood, though surrounded by wealth, was devoid of the emotional warmth many take for granted. For her parents, Jeremy Antonius Chua and Cindy Fan, money and progress were all that mattered. After being exiled from the Cai family, the Chuas had to claw their way back to stability, and the scars of that struggle lingered long into Céline's early years. Raised with a focus on business and responsibility, Céline was steered toward a path of finance and accounting, expected to follow in her parents' footsteps as the future heir of Cai Fashion and Retail.

ㅤ ㅤ However, behind her quiet, introverted personality, lay a soul captivated by creativity. While her parents saw her as the next leader of the family empire, Céline’s heart moved toward the vibrant world of fashion that had surrounded her since childhood. The chaos of business never appealed to her, and instead, she found solace in the idea of creating—bringing beauty to life through design. Defying her parents’ expectations, she pursued a degree in Fashion Media and Industries at LASALLE College of the Arts, distancing herself from the immediate business responsibilities of CASCADE, unlike her older brother, Calvin, who had seamlessly stepped into his role at the department store (well, he was also pulled in by force).

ㅤ ㅤ College was a turning point for Céline. There, in the creative chaos of pursuing her dreams, she found not only her voice but also love. Meeting the love of her life brought a profound shift in her personality, slowly releasing the tight hold of repression she had carried for so long. Through patience, compassion, and self-discovery, Céline began to understand what it meant to love, not just others, but herself. For the first time, she felt the freedom to express herself fully.

ㅤ ㅤ Yet, the weight of her family’s legacy was never far behind. Upon graduating from LASALLE, Céline was drawn back into the family business, thrust into the role of Director of CASCADE’s Jewelry, Perfume, and Accessories department. Though she had initially believed her role would be temporary, simply preparing for a launch, she was soon tethered to the position with little room for escape. The pressure took its toll, and the early days in her new role were marked by emotional and mental strain. It was during this period of hardship that Céline discovered a new passion—jewelry design. In her rare moments of free time, she secretly began sketching designs and searching for quality vendors, pouring her heart into this newfound creative outlet. This quiet rebellion lasted for two years, until the pandemic hit in 2020, halting her personal project and bringing CASCADE to its lowest financial point in history.

ㅤ ㅤ The pandemic, however, became both a challenge and an opportunity for Céline. Faced with a crisis, she spearheaded digital marketing innovations that helped pull CASCADE out of its financial slump while pursuing a Master’s in Luxury Accessories Design & Management at Istituto Marangoni in Florence, Italy, refining her vision. As a reward for her perseverance and success, her father finally allowed her to establish her own jewelry business under the Cai Fashion and Retail, marking the official beginning of her brand, CRESTINÉ.

ㅤ ㅤ Today, Céline’s jewelry venture is in its early stages, undergoing Pre-Seed funding and R&D reiterations. While the family business is seemingly stable, Céline’s relationship with her parents remains strained. Despite their shared history, she is often at odds with their expectations and values. However, she maintains a close bond with her brother, Calvin, who, with his sharp business acumen, often offers her guidance and support as she navigates the complexities of her dual role as both a creative and a business leader.

In a life dictated by duty, Céline continues to carve her own path, balancing the weight of her family's empire with the personal passions that set her apart.
