Demetrius was stupefied when Jackson was getting closer.
He stared at Jackson and took a step back. The sudden appearance of that muscular man had terrified him. The crowd was equally left breathless as well by Jackson's authoritative and aloof demeanor.
Nidia continued staring at Demetrius with contempt. She despised him to the core.
On the other hand, the crowd was whispering and discussing what was happening. Finally, after a moment of silence, Demetrius mustered up his courage and declared, "I want justice! Don't interfere with our family issue if you're not of the South family!"
At this point, Nidia could not even bother to look at Demetrius. She was replying to Lily and Luna's messages that they had sent earlier.
Even if Jackson didn't show up, Nidia could have handled the whole situation.
