Jackson then glanced at Lucas and said offhandedly, “Lucas, have the waiter add a helping of pork ribs to our order, will you?’ Jackson was probably the only person who could order Lucas around this way.

The rumors about Jackson being an intimidating and formidable force were true. Everyone was scared of him. Even Lucas dared not step out of line in the old man’s presence.

Being the youngest at the table, Wynter chided Jackson good- naturedly, “You shouldn’t be having pork ribs when you have hypertension. Let’s order something else.”

“Lucas, go order something else then,” Jackson ordered. He had Wynter sit next to him, and his eyes were full of concern as he stared at her. “Your recent trip to Paradise Village caused quite a stir.”

Wynter poured him a cup of tea. “I didn’t mean to. I only went in search of the truth of my identity, so I guess we can chalk this up

He could tell Lucas had a good heart and a love for his country.

Jackson was patriotic as well, and all he wanted was for his fellow citizens to thrive. However, his poor health forced him to recupera

in Southdale.

However, the public seemed to think of his retirement in Southdale as a form of exile, which was funny because Jackson could never stop worrying over the greater good of his country.

Now that he was feeling better, he needed to return to Kingbourne to

straighten out some things. He wouldn’t rest until he had gotten rid of the division between the rich and the poor.

The transfer back to Kingbourne came about suddenly, but Jackson

had expected it. The only concerns he had now were for Wynter. “You don’t have to shoulder everything alone, Wynter.

“If you’re worried about my reputation, you can always ask Domie for help in dealing with the Shepherds and the Yates. Stop keeping
