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.”
