Chapter 309 The Greater Good


    Jackson’s delight was evident. “You’re going to Kingbourne too?”


    “Yes. I’m sorry I waited so long to tell you, but I’ve found my biological family, and they live in


    Kingbourne,” Wynter exined as she poured


    Jackson another cup of tea.


    She added, “I’ll introduce them to you after I’ve settled down in Kingbourne. We’re also nning to set


    up a branch for the Empathy

    Clinic there.”


    “Sounds like a solid n to me,” Jackson said with a grin. “You’ll be able to reach more patients if you


    set up a branch in Kingbourne.”


    Wynter rified modestly, “It’s Grandma’s wish.”


    Lucas grew even more impressed with Wynter. “Does that mean we’ll be meeting in Kingbourne?”


    Wynter understood the implication within his words. “You mean you’re heading back to Kingbourne too,


    Lucas?”


    “That’s the n, but it won’t happen anytime soon,” Lucas answered chuckling. He had no qualms


    divulging such information to Wynter.


    “Originally, Mr. Munn Sneior and my family had ns for me to leave Southdale in three years. They


    want me to go further south and see


    what I can do to fix the economy in Halsbury.


    “Now that you’ve helped me crack the case of Havenlight County, I


    can go back to Kingbourne in another six months, which is way


    sooner than expected.”


    This alone was proof of how much help Wynter had been to Lucas. The incident at Havenlight County


    revealed the dark underbelly of Southdale and suggested that many influential parties were carrying


    out dirty work in secret.


    Since Lucas’ inauguration, he had sessfully restructured


    Southdale’s economy and its people’s welfare, not to mention uncovered the inhumane crimes in


    Paradise Vige.


    Those who had tried to pull his leg or manipte the current social dynamics against him had failed to


    do so.


    To this end, Jackson was relieved, and he could think of no greater form of repayment on Lucas’ part


    than his return to Kingbourne.


    “The Keller family will likely extend their gratitude to you once you


    arrive in Kingbourne,” Jackson remarked confidently.


    Wynter took this information lightly as she chewed on her food. “As Lucas’ junior, it won’t do me any


    good if he fares poorly in his position. This way, at least I’ll prosper alongside him.”


    Jackson guffawed. “You certainly know how to make a joke, Wynter!”


    Lucas grinned wholeheartedly. “Here’s to you and your prosperous future, Wynter.”


    The trio continued to dine happily after that.


    Lucas was starting to see why Jackson had taken such a strong


    liking to Wynter. She was young, but her wit and insight were


    unmatched.


    It made Lucas want to be better. When he received a message from


    the Scotts, he did not ignore it as usual. Instead, he made small talk with them while concealing his


    intentions of investigating them.


    After the meal, Jackson left in a Peugeot, an understated vehicle for a man who did not like shy


    things. The entourage that followed him consisted of only a bodyguard and his driver.


    Jackson nced out the window at the ce he had stayed at for two years. He remembered what a


    mess this town had been when he first arrived, which was why he had Lucas transferred here.


    Now, he no longer had to worry about the citizens’ welfare. At least they no longer had to pay an arm


    and a leg for basic healthcare.


    Still, the greatest aplishment he had witnessed during his stay here was the downfall of Paradise


    Vige.


    Jackson hade across the heartbreaking news Dalton mentioned the other day, about how the most


    beautiful teacher in a small vige had actually been a kidnapping victim who was sold into the vige


    during her university years.


    Jackson believed that the public had some awareness about


    tragedies like these. Once the story of Paradise Vige began to spread far and wide, the public would


    learn to reconsider their


    backward values.


    “Mr. Munn Senior has always loved a good game of chess,” Wynter


    mused to Lucas as she watched Jackson’s ck Peugeot fade into


    the distance.


    Her eyes twinkled as she added, “I think he’s been waiting for this day ever since he had Mr. Fisher


    bring you to the Empathy Clinic.”


    As her words sunk in, Lucas froze and turned to look at her in surprise. He quickly broke into a smile as


    he asked, “Are you not angry that Mr. Munn Senior used you as a pawn?”


    “I chose to go to Paradise Vige,” Wynter said with a smirk. “I can’t see the whole chess board like Mr


    Munn Senior can, but I’m more than willing to be his pawn if it’s for the greater good of this


    nation.”
