Chapter 308 Favorite Disciple 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 coincidence." "Coincidence? Lucas toldyou left him a note before you left f Paradise Village," Jackson said.

He then pointed at Lucas. "You're lucky that Wynter is so full of wit and surprises. You wouldn't have been able to get to the bottom of Southdale's corruption without her help!" Turning back to Wynter, he added, “You handed him the kind of political accomplishment he needed, and uncovered the ugly truth of Havenlight County just as he expressed interest in doing the same.

"Lucas, you ought to thank Wynter for helping you out the way she did. No one else could offer you the samount of dedication as she did." At once, Lucas rose to his feet and raised his wine glass to Wynter, who responded by raising her cup of tea. "Wynter, I thank you on behalf of the good citizens of Southdale. I appreciate what you have done for me, and feel free to ctofor help in the future." With that, he knocked back his wine.

Having dedicated most of his life to Florand's betterment, Jackson never had children of his own. It was after he had spent his good years toiling for the sake of the country that he met an upstarting young man such as Lucas. 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 sthings. He wouldn't rest until he had gotten rid of the division between the rich and the poor.

The transfer back to Kingbourne cabout 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 everything to yourself or you'll burst.

"It's no big deal," Wynter said casually. She knew Jackson had bigger things to worry about than her problems, such as the well-being of the nation.

"Besides, Mr. Fisher is a busy man as well. He's waist-deep in work tending to the needs of the community." Jackson's heart went out to her. "You remindof my younger self." "Mr. Munn Senior, I don't think that's the compliment you'd hoped it would be, seeing as Wynter's a young lady," Lucas pointed out jokingly as the atmosphere relaxed.

A moment later, he said, "The Shepherds are incredibly thick-skinned.

I've never met anyone like them in Kingbourne." Wynter picked at the roast lamb Jackson had put on her plate. If she didn't start eating, the food on her plate would spill onto the table.

"They're irrelevant," she remarked as she set her utensils down. "But I believe there is a family you ought to pay close attention to the Scotts from Kingbourne." Lucas' expression was solemn. "What about them?" "Well, one of the counselors who showed up at the award ceremony happened to be from the Scott family. He presented the award toalong with a thinly veiled threat," Wynter elaborated, her gaze as clear as her thoughts.

She continued coolly, "As things are, I have no proof that they played a part in the Havenlight County incident, but I figured they're worth looking into now that one of them has exposed himself. That said, I think you should tread carefully when investigating them." Lucas raised a brow. "What makes you say that?"

"I mean, we should all watch our backs around dangerous people like them." Wynter pointed out. "But my E concern is that they might hurt you." Jackson took in all this and interjected, "Lucas can take care of himself, Wynter. You're the one who should be more careful."

"Me?" Wynter blinked. A wicked gleam shone in her eyes as she said, I'll be going to Kingbourne soon. Once I'm there, I'd like to see them try to get me."
