That was why Mr. Lucas was so furious and displeased when Ben so casually brought Jamie, an "outsider," into his private space.

"Do older people all lose their sense of reasoning? I've already told you that Jamie isn't an outsider," Ben sneered, his tone sharp with ridicule.

"You dare talk to me like that?" Mr. Lucas nearly leaped out of bed, his face flushing an angry shade of red.
