Good Son-In-Law
Clayton was a Wall Street investor, so he would not be unaware of such a well - known figure in the industry. 1
Since Jay Malone retired, many rookies had not heard of him.
Jay Malone was the true big shot.
Clayton did not expect his late mother-in-law to have such a relationship with Jay Malone.
Jay was sitting in the living room. He was more than ten years older than Floyd, but he looked healthy and was an
open-minded old man.
He looked authoritative and had such a strong presence.
However, Jay was excited at this time, so he did not look so cold and distant.
Nicole walked in and went over politely to say hello.
“Godfather, how are you?”
She looked at Jay. Her impression of Jay was from ten years ago. Jay was tall, strong, and omnipotent.
However, there was no denying that the old man in front of her had gotten older although he still had the same
temperament.
The wrinkles on Jay’s face could not be concealed, but he still had a strong build and looked to be in good spirits.
Jay was chatting with Floyd. He looked at Nicole and raised his eyebrows.
“This little girl is all grown up now! She looks more and more like her mother.”
Nicole paused and subconsciously looked at Floyd.
Floyd’s expression did not change. He nodded with a smile. 1
Nicole was a little relieved to see this.
Floyd pointed at Clayton, who was next to Nicole.
“This is Clayton Sloan, my good son-in-law.”
Clayton was polite and knew what to say. Before Jay spoke, Clayton said with a warm and humble smile, “Mr.
Malone, I’ve long heard of your name.”
Jay was stunned for a while. He seemed to be deliberately making a fuss.
“Oh? When and where have you heard of my name?”
Nicole was speechless as she thought, ‘Why is he embarrassing my husband?’
She looked to Floyd for help, but Floyd smiled nonchalantly.
This seemed expected.
Clayton smiled faintly and said calmly, “Back when I first started investing on Wall Street, I made my
first pot of gold after reading numerous case studies from you, Mr. Malone. You’re my inspiration. I’ve
always admired you A
Jay was obviously shocked by Clayton’s words.
He was not only shocked but also very satisfied.
Clayton looked gentle, but he was not timid, nor did he have the bad habit of pretending to be
arrogant just because he was rich.
Jay thought, ‘Why didn’t I meet such a humble and honest son-in- law?’
He immediately slapped his thigh in excitement and praised Clayton.
“Floyd, you do have a good son-in-law! You have a good eye for picking him!”
After speaking, Jay gave Nicole a thumbs up.
“Lil N, you’re a lucky one! ”
Nicole blinked and smiled shyly.
If Jay continued to praise Clayton, Nicole would start blushing.
Nicole walked over, poured a cup of tea for Jay, and said with a smile, “Godfather, didn’t you retire to
an island? Why did you comeback? Is Sister back too?” 1
She was referring to Jay’s daughter.
Nicole had met Jay’s only daughter before, but they did not keep in touch.
That was because Jay’s daughter was a devoted scientist who traveled all around the world with no
fixed place of residence. She would be in Europe one day and Africa the next.
She was a true science geek. 1
Jay sipped on the tea and said with a smile, “She didn’t come back, but I have a grandson to spend
the rest of my days with now. It’s much better than being alone on the island.”
Nicole strongly agreed. “Right! It’s better to stay here. What’s the point of living on an island? With
global warming, the island might be flooded! What will you do then?”
The corners of Jay’s mouth twitched as he looked at Nicole. “You little...”
Floyd chuckled. “Go away! Stop with your nonsense. You even bought one yourself! ”
Nicole muttered, “I’m selling it right away! ”
Jay sighed and pointed at Nicole.
“This brat only looks like her mother but doesn’t have the same temperament. Her mother was not at
all extravagant or wasteful back then...”
Nicole raised an eyebrow. “I’ll be a fool if I don’t spend the money that I have. My family wasn’t that
rich when my mother died anyway. So, now that we’re rich, I gotta spend my mother’s share as well!”
Jay could not help but laugh out loud. He shook his head and looked helpless.
Floyd sighed sadly when he heard Nicole’s words.
“It’s all my fault for not giving her a good life...”
Nicole paused.
Jay seemed to reminisce about the past and sighed.
“Forget it. It’s also my fault. We owe her too much...”
Floyd looked grief-stricken. Clayton paused and said in a warm voice, “Dad, the physiotherapist is
here. Why don’t we go for the physiotherapy session first and let Nicole stay here for a while?”
