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? Lucas told me you 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 same amount 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.

I thank you on behalf of the good citizens of Southdale. I appreciate what you have done for me, and feel free to come to me for help in the future.” With that, he knocked back
