Chapter 86 Took Revenge
"We're supposed to eat, right? Should we stop?" Francis interrupted him, and his face returned to normal as if he wasn't the one who had been angry just now.
Johnson chuckled and said, "Let's go to the dining room first. Everyone shouldn't stay here like this."
Ruby held onto his arm and looked up at him. Her expression didn't look happy.
Francis turned to Lilian, his finger touching the injured area. "Does it still hurt?"
Lilian looked into his eyes. The concern in them didn't seem fake.
He was always like this, sometimes appearing so close, like the moon in the water, just a reach away.
But when she truly reached out to grab the moon, she would realize it was just an illusion, easily shattered with a gentle touch.
He was like that, leading her step by step, willingly jumping into a bottomless abyss.
He led her to dive into the water and chase after that unattainable moon until suffocating in the tide.
And he watched from the side, soberly witnessing her downfall.
Lilian withdrew her gaze and lowered her long lashes to cover the look in her eyes. She shook her head.
Francis no longer spoke, holding her hand as they entered the dining room.
Everyone at the table had different thoughts, and naturally, the atmosphere of a normal family reunion meal was absent.
Francis seemed to have forgotten about the toy gun incident, calmly chatting with Mike about everyday matters and asking about the performance of Mike's subsidiary company.
The Landau family's business was extensive, and it was unknown whether Everett wanted equal treatment for his younger generation or had other intentions.
The business under Landau Group was not explicitly delegated to anyone.
Although Francis was his excellent son whom he was proud of, he only gave Francis the position of CEO and a 20% stake, while the real power remained in his hands.
