Just as she started to feel a bit regretful, Joanna's cold eyes met hers, and the anger that had just begun to subside flared up again.
"You troublemaker!" he yelled, pointing at Joanna's nose, "What kind of expression is that? Do you think I'm being unfair to you? You don't even have basic respect for your elders, and it's such a disgrace to the Lawrence family!"
"Look at your sister, and then look at yourself! You're a total failure as an older sister!"
"Dad, please calm down, calm down!"
Standing behind Benjamin Lawrence, Annie looked at Joanna with a gleeful and provocative expression in her eyes.
She walked forward and supported Benjamin, pretending to be well-behaved and sensible, coaxing in a soft voice, "The doctor told you to take good care of yourself, and you shouldn't get angry like this."
"Joanna, seriously." She frowned and raised her head to gently scold, "You know Dad's health isn't good, and he can't take too much anger. Can't you just say less?"
