A sudden howl of crying broke the silence, and everyone turned their heads in unison.

Oscar covered his face and squatted on the ground, crying bitterly, while Francis calmly played with the toy gun in his hand.

His expression was indifferent as if he didn't see Oscar crying. His attention was completely focused on the toy gun in his hand. He almost wanted to tell everyone that he made Oscar cry with the gun.

Seeing this, Lilian clenched her sleeves subconsciously, her heart beating faster.

Angelica and Mike were the first to rush over. Angelica picked up Oscar and anxiously checked the injury on his face.

"What happened to you, Oscar?"

Oscar was gasping for breath from crying, and the corner of his eye was red. He was little and his skin was tender. His entire face turned red when he cried, so the redness at the corner of his eye wasn't as noticeable.

But the sunken skin at the corner of his eyes made Angelica furious.

She glared at Francis and said, "Francis, what do you mean?"

Only then did Francis shift his gaze to her face and casually said, "Plastic bullets don't hurt."

"You..."

He retorted to Angelica with what she had said, leaving her speechless and unable to express her anger.

Francis looked at her with indifference, and his cold and distant eyes seemed to be looking down on everyone. He said, "Or do you want to try it too?"

"Francis, you've gone too far!" Angelica stood up and angrily said, "You're already thirty years old, yet you quibble with a seven-year-old child. Are you a real man?"

"Angelica, don't speak so harshly. When did I quibble with him? But you are overreacting. It's just a plastic bullet, but you are so mad. Who's the one quibbling?"

Angelica was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot. She couldn't win an argument against Francis, let alone a fight. This frustration made her feel suffocated.

At this moment, Johnson walked over. He bent down to look at Oscar's eyes and then said, "It's indeed not serious. Angelica, I think we should just let it go."

Angelica glared at him, wanting to say that he, as a live-in son-in-law, shouldn't act so hypocritically here. But she didn't want to offend Ruby.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and coldly snorted. "Forget it. There are more of you here, so I can't win. I shouldn't have come today."

Angelica held Oscar who was crying and came to Everett. "Dad, don't invite me to such a gathering in the future. I can't fit in. We'll go first."

Everett's face turned livid, but before he could say anything, Angelica left with Oscar in her arms.

Rosalie sighed. "Why is Angelica so hot-tempered?"

Everett glanced at her, suddenly stood up, and went upstairs, not wanting to deal with these people anymore.

"Johnson, let's go to sleep!" Ruby, who didn't interfere, spoke with a stern face. Hearing what the servant said had made her so frustrated.

Johnson openly supported Lilian just now, which made her more suspicious.

Although Johnson was just a live-in son-in-law, Ruby didn't dare to oppress him. He was like the wind, elusive.

Ruby often had the feeling that he could leave her at any time.

After being married for over two years, she didn't understand him at all.

His temper was so good that it seemed like he didn't care about anything and didn't mind losing. Someone who couldn't be controlled like him made Ruby live in constant fear.

Johnson nodded slightly and walked towards Ruby, going upstairs with her.

As he passed by Lilian, Lilian looked up at him and happened to see the meaningful look in his eyes.

Before Lilian could react, Johnson had already averted his gaze as if their eye contact was just her imagination.

Rosalie asked Francis if he wanted to stay there, and Francis refused without hesitation.

He threw the toy gun into the trash can, but the gun was too long and knocked over the trash can.

"Let's go." He looked at Lilian.
