My Child and I Married a Billionaire

Cecelia Archer looked worried. "What should I do? I already promised them I’d sign the contract tomorrow. If I back out now... Ugh, such a great investment opportunity will go to waste."

Zeke Walton looked at Amina.

"I remember you have a little bit of money saved up. Why don’t you lend it to her first? She helped us out in a huge way last time when we were in trouble. We have to repay the favor."

Amina remembered how Cecelia had helped her before, and she was an honest and simple soul.

Seeing her looking so worried about money, she said earnestly,

"I just got paid, and I’ve saved up 20,000. Cecelia, if it’s not too little, why don’t you take it and use it for now?"

"Not too little at all! 20,000 is a lot, how could I possibly think it’s too little? Thank you, Amina. Go ahead and transfer it to me."

After receiving the 20,000, Cecelia grabbed Amina’s hands and said,

"Starting tomorrow, I’ll give you a dividend every day. I won’t let you lend me this money for nothing."

"A dividend? You mean like interest? No, no, you don’t have to, Cecelia. We’re old friends, there’s no need to be so formal."

"It’s not interest. It’s a dividend. And it’s much higher than interest."

Cecelia began to explain it to her.

"I’m using this money to buy futures. Cotton has been doing really well lately, and the price is going up every day. As long as you invest, you can just lie back and collect the profits daily. If I can make money without doing anything, how could I not share some with you?"

Amina only knew about putting money in a bank and collecting a little interest every day without doing anything. She never knew there was another way besides the bank.

She blinked her big eyes, staring at Cecelia.

Cecelia started teaching her about investing and financial management.

"In this world, besides working hard and diligently, there’s an easier way to make money: investing and financial management. As long as you have a good eye and can analyze the market well enough, the money you can make from these two things is far more than what you’d earn from a regular job."

"Besides, it’s impossible to get rich, I mean truly wealthy, just by working a job. But with these two, it’s entirely possible to jump up a social class."

Amina was confused by all of this and wasn’t particularly moved.

But when she opened her eyes the next morning and saw that Cecelia had transferred 300 to her, she was stunned.

"A 20,000 investment can earn a 300 dividend overnight? That’s amazing!"

Zeke Walton yawned and sat up.

"If you pick the right investment direction, choose a good financial product, and invest enough principal, making a hundred or two hundred thousand a day, or even several hundred thousand to a million a month, is no problem at all. A mere 300 is nothing."

"A mere 300 is nothing? What do you mean, nothing? Do you know how much I make in a day working myself to the bone?"

Amina’s eyes were gleaming as she shook Zeke Walton’s arm.

"Why didn’t you tell me about such a great way to make money sooner? Quick, quick, get up. You can tell me all about it while we do our deliveries. From now on, I’m going to invest all the money I earn."

Zeke Walton glanced at her, thinking she was hopeless.

"It’s useless. With your foresight and intelligence, you wouldn’t make any money even if you invested."

"Why? Didn’t you just say..."

"Do you have any idea what kind of education she has? Do you know how many books she’s read? How much market research she’s done? How many industries she understands? No one succeeds by accident. The amount of wealth you have is directly linked to your knowledge and insight. Amina, if you really want to get rich—truly rich—you should listen to me. Quit this job and take your studies seriously. In the future, the money you could earn in a single year will surpass what you’d make in ten or even twenty years now. You can absolutely make back the cost of your time. Why can’t you understand that?"

Amina really hadn’t understood before.

She only knew that she needed to eat and spend money every day, so she had to spend all her time working. She didn’t know you could calculate the trade-off between time and wealth like that.

Until today. Today, she finally understood.

With just 300, Cecelia had suddenly made her grasp the true meaning of studying.

"I used to only think about getting a diploma, finding a stable and respectable job, and diligently saving money. I never thought about anything beyond working for someone else. I’m so stupid... I’ll listen to you, Zeke Walton. I’m going to study hard and broaden my horizons. I want to earn enough to buy a big house and bring my grandma over as soon as possible. Please, teach me!"

Cecelia was going to the office with Damien Vaughn today, so she changed into a professional suit and put on some light makeup.

Just as she came out of the bathroom, Damien Vaughn held his phone out to her.

"Congratulations. You’ve successfully convinced two people. Both Zeke Walton and Amina are completely won over by you."

’So fast.’

Cecelia hadn’t expected the girl to be so fanatical about money that a mere 300 could change her entire outlook on life.

"That’s great. The girl has drive and a strong desire for money. I think she’ll definitely accomplish something in the future."

The more Damien Vaughn looked at her, the more he adored her.

’How did I ever find such a brilliant, resourceful, young, and beautiful wife?’

The two of them rode to the office in the same car, and Damien Vaughn held Cecelia’s hand the entire way.

She thought he would let go when they arrived, but even after they got out of the car, he still held on tightly.

Cecelia tried to pull her hand away, but Damien Vaughn’s grip was too tight.

"President Vaughn, we’re about to go in. So many people are watching. What are you trying to do?"

Damien Vaughn lifted her hand and kissed it.

"Let them look. Is there a law against a legally married couple holding hands?"

Normally, Damien Vaughn took the president’s private express elevator. But today, not only did he openly stroll past everyone holding Cecelia’s hand, he even went to squeeze into the employee elevator.

It was the morning rush. Everyone stared as he walked past with a beautiful woman, their fingers intertwined, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

"Morning, President Vaughn."

Damien Vaughn smiled, and his words were like a gentle breeze.

"Good morning, everyone."

Soon, the gossip started flying in every department’s group chat.

"Is President Vaughn married, or does he have a fiancée? Did you guys see? He walked into the office this morning holding a woman’s hand in front of everyone! Oh my god, that’s a first in all these years!"

"The key thing is, their looks and height are such a good match. A perfect couple like that... my dream is shattered."

Everyone started tagging Ryan.

"Get in here and spill the beans! What’s the deal with President Vaughn? Is that woman the future boss’s wife? Is she here today to stake her claim? Wasn’t there talk about that Gwen Morgan a while ago..."

Ryan was also completely baffled.

’Just a few days ago, President Vaughn was anxious and insecure over Miss Archer. Why is he suddenly holding her hand in public today?’

’As someone who’s witnessed their relationship from the start, how could President Vaughn leave me out of the loop on the most important development!’

Although he was extremely curious, as the president’s special assistant, he had his professional integrity.

Ryan: "What you see is what you get. Stop with the wild guesses. It’s not like you don’t know how much President Vaughn dislikes being gossiped about behind his back. Now get back to work."

Having gotten no juicy gossip, everyone was on pins and needles all morning. However, Damien Vaughn didn’t keep them disappointed for long.

Soon, it was lunchtime. He always ate in the company cafeteria, and today, he openly appeared there, holding hands with Cecelia.

During the lunch rush, the cafeteria was packed and bustling with activity. The moment the two of them walked in, they instantly became the center of everyone’s attention.
