Chapter 104: Becoming Rich Overnight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Miss Mia, can you help me calculate when I can get rich quick?”
“Miss Mia…”
One by one, people asked. It was extremely crowded here. Chris was about to go crazy from the noise, but he could not leave Amelia’s side today. He was here to be Amelia’s bodyguard. He simply closed his eyes and pretended not to hear the commotion around him.
“Grandma, your grandson will be born in three days,” Amelia looked at the grandma, who had just asked if her daughter-in-law would give birth to a girl or a boy, and replied with a smile.
The Grandma was stunned for a moment and subconsciously retorted, “That’s impossible. My daughter-in-law is only eight months pregnant.” It was still far from her due date. The Grandma was a little disappointed. She thought that Amelia was really capable, but it turned out that she was just a liar.
The old Grandma muttered, “My daughter-in-law can only give birth in a month at the earliest. Seriously, your calculations are not accurate at all.” There was a difference of two months. If her daughter-in-law really gave birth in three days, there would be a huge problem.
Amelia shook her head. Her master had said that if they didn’t believe her, they shouldn’t waste each other’s time.
The old Grandma pursed her lips and left in disappointment. Amelia continued to answer the question. It was the sister who asked when she would get rich quick. “Sister, you want to get rich quick? What’s considered getting rich quick?”
The young girl said, “Becoming rich overnight! So much, so much money. Even richer than President Walton!” She turned around and looked at George with admiration.
Amelia’s face was tender but serious as she said, “Then, Sister, you can only dream of becoming rich.” It was impossible for her to be richer than her uncle. Her uncle was super powerful!
People kept asking Amelia. Those who got a good answer left with smiles on their faces. Those who got a bad result muttered, “It’s not accurate at all. It’s all nonsense. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”
Chris crossed his arms and sneered. “Is this the feudal superst.i.tion of modern society?”
Amelia asked curiously, “What do you mean by feudal superst.i.tion in modern society?”
Oliver pursed his lips and interrupted, “It means that people believe whatever they want to. For example, in modern society, if someone has a bad nightmare, they will comfort themselves that the dream is the opposite, bad things are an indication of good things happening. If someone has a good dream, they will think that they are lucky and are going to be rich.”
Amelia was speechless. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Oliver with sparkling eyes. Oliver was nervous from her stare. He pursed his lips and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Amelia counted on her fingers. “Wow, you’re so awesome. This is the most you’ve said!” She thought that he could only say five words at a time.
Oliver: “…” He thought that Amelia would praise him for knowing so much.
Chris lazily changed his posture. He supported his chin and looked at Amelia and Oliver. Children were so strange. They were childish and cute.
After the launch ceremony of Glory Entertainment ended, Amelia fell asleep because she was too full. Chris carefully carried her, and George walked over. He took off his coat and covered Amelia. Two G.o.d-like men protected Amelia’s small body and walked through the red carpet filled with cameras. They got into the car and left.
Oliver stood at the entrance of the venue and watched quietly as the Walton family’s car drove away.
James said, “Let’s go.”
Oliver nodded and took one last look at the Walton family’s car. The next time they met, he would bring her two pieces of candy. He would bring her candy because Amelia liked to eat it. And he would only bring two because he was afraid that she would have cavities if she ate too many.
Beside the Spencer family’s car stood a short and fat middle-aged man. He carried James into the car with a smile on his face. This person was less than 1.7 meters tall, and the b.u.t.tons on his shirt strained his huge beer belly. The next moment, the b.u.t.tons would probably fly out. This man was the CEO of Glory Entertainment, Victor Duncan.
Victor’s mother had given birth to two pairs of twins in a row back then. They were all sons. During her third pregnancy, she had hoped to have a daughter. In order to have a good luck, she had even confirmed the daughter’s nickname before the child was born. However, she did not expect it to be a son in the end!
Victor’s mother was disheartened and did not want to give her son a new name, so he continued to use the original nickname. However, instead of the ‘Victoria’ that meant ‘victory’, it was switched to the ‘Victor’ that meant ‘rich’.
After sending the Spencer family and the Walton family away, Victor’s tense back relaxed. “The young lady of the Walton family…” His eyes flickered with an unknown light. “That’s the real little ancestor..”
