Chapter 265 Unfair
For the next two days, Dalton never came back.
Today, Lydia arrived at the Aniston Villa early. On the one hand, she wanted to make a good impression in front of the Anistons. But mostly, she was hoping to see Dalton.
It was Christmas Eve, and the Anistons were gathering together. Dalton was sure to come to the Aniston Villa today.
As long as she saw him, she would feel at ease.
In the evening, Meryl and Chandler arrived.
Meryl looked radiant and clearly lived the good life these days.
Unlike Lydia, who came bearing gifts, Meryl showed empty–handed.

No sooner had they taken a seat on the sofa than a servant promptly served them coffee.
Not long after, Harrison handed over a carefully prepared package to Meryl. “Mrs. Aniston, Sir Aniston wants you to have this.”
Meryl was taken aback. “What’s this?”

“Sir Aniston specially prepared these as Christmas‘ gifts for you. He said that since it’s your first year in the Aniston family, as the head of the family, he wanted to show his appreciation. Please accept them.”
Cameron curiously peeked at the contents and immediately exclaimed, “Oh my goodness!”
Dylan was incredibly generous. He actually gifted Meryl an entire mansion in the heart of Kingsdom!
Just that one property alone cost a fortune!
Cameron stared at the deed, green with envy.
Halle craned her neck. “Chandler, Dylan really dotes on your wife. We didn’t get anything like this when we got married.”
With Dylan showing his kindness, the others of the Aniston family naturally felt compelled to show their own generosity.
The Anistons were highly competitive, especially in situations. like this where countless eyes were watching. No one wanted to be seen as cheap.
Halle presented a designer handbag, and Cameron quickly followed up with a set of exquisite jewelry.
When Halle saw how valuable Cameron’s jewelry was, she immediately added a luxury car worth millions to her gift.

Cameron, not one to be outdone, went even further, bringing out a painting she had recently won at an auction.
Meryl made a trip back to the Aniston Villa, and somehow, she returned as a millionaire.
In her left hand, she clutched a deed to a house. Her right hand was holding the key to a car, along with countless pieces of jewelry. Anything she couldn’t carry, she passed to Chandler.
Even Charlotte, the eldest wife of the family, couldn’t remain indifferent after seeing Halle and Cameron showering Meryl with gifts.
Charlotte had always felt a bit uneasy around Meryl, especially given her history with Dalton.
As the eldest wife of the Aniston family, with Halle and Cameron. already having shown their generosity, she knew that if she gave nothing, people might start to gossip, saying she was being petty or hiding something.
After a moment’s consideration, Charlotte decisively ordered someone to take the million–dollar diamond set Lydia had given her that very morning and deliver it to Meryl.
Lydia watched as the gift she had carefully selected to please Charlotte was promptly handed over to Meryl, turning her face pale with anger.
Both married into the Aniston family, yet Lydia bent over backward to please everyone, only to end up with nothing.

Meanwhile, Meryl waltzed in empty–handed, did nothing, and could walk away with a house, a car, and everyone showering her with gifts.
How was that fair?
Dalton returned to the Aniston Villa only in time for dinner.
He had been staying at a hotel these past few days.
The day he asked Lydia for a divorce, she cried uncontrollably. He had never seen her cry like that before.
In the past, seeing her tears would have made Dalton feel heartbroken, but this time, he felt nothing.
It was then that he realized his feelings for her might not have
been love after all.
