Chapter 130 Stop Acting!

Meryl avoided Dalton’s hand, warning, “Don’t touch me, nephew! Or your Uncle Chandler will punish you later.”

Losing patience, Dalton retorted, “Meryl, stop acting!”

Taking advantage, Lydia took Dalton’s hand. “Dalton, it’s all my fault for making everyone laugh at us. I’ll have my parents teach Meryl a lesson.”

Then she turned to Meryl. “Meryl, you’ve been in jail for three years, haven’t you learned your lesson?”

Hearing the word “jail,” Meryl’s face darkened.

Her three years of good time were all wasted in prison.

The Anistons’ faces also changed, thinking, “Yes, how could we forget that Meryl was once a criminal? No wonder she’s so unruly and prone to cause trouble.”

At this moment, Ethan put down his phone.

He had been playing games but couldn’t stand the arguing, so he left the game.

He was an esports player, and this match was even being played on his professional account.

“Isn’t it indecent for so many people to bully a woman?”

“Aren’t we supposed to have a recognition ceremony? Hurry up! I brought her here.”

Ethan glanced at Meryl. “She’s my friend. So, what’s wrong with her visiting the ceremony?”

“I’m not just your friend,” Meryl corrected. “I’m your aunt.”

Ethan thought helplessly, “I’ve helped her out. Why doesn’t she understand to back off? She’s really stubborn.”

Seeing the stalemate, Lydia apologized to everyone,

“Respected elders, I’m Meryl’s sister, and I hope you will let go of it for my sake. I’ll take her away right now.”

On the surface, she appeared to be defending Meryl, but in reality, she was mocking Meryl for not knowing propriety and acting willfully on such an important occasion.

Lydia said to Meryl with sadness, “I know you don’t like me and came today to embarrass me. I’m sorry, can you stop making trouble? It will be difficult for me in the Aniston family in the future.”

Lydia’s voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

She played the role of the weak, highlighting Meryl’s stubborn and rebellious nature, making Meryl seem like someone who would stop at nothing to ruin her sister’s happiness.

Dalton saw the tears in Lydia’s eyes and her sad appearance. His heart softened, and he gently put his arm around her shoulder.

Last night was their wedding night, but Dalton came home drunk. Lydia didn’t complain at all when he got home.

Even in the middle of the night, she braved the storm to go downstairs and buy him medicine for a fever.

Of course, she could have instructed a maid to do it, but Lydia’s personal effort was enough to prove her concern for him.

Dalton frowned, thinking, “Meryl’s appearance today is to make things difficult for Lydia with the Anistons later. Meryl is so sly.

Since Meryl and Lydia are family, my mother will definitely take her resentment out on Lydia in the future.

My mother values dignity a lot. Meryl’s blunder will surely make us the butt of jokes among relatives.

My mother can’t do anything about Meryl, so she can only make things hard for Lydia to take it out on her.”

“I’ll give you another chance. Leave now,” Dalton said in a low voice.

He felt he had already respected Meryl enough.

Meryl shook her head helplessly. “I can’t leave. I haven’t attended your wife’s ceremony yet.”

Chandler had locked their marriage certificate in a safe.

She hoped she could take the certificate out now and slap it on their faces so she wouldn’t have to rack her brains for explanations.

Meryl thought for a moment. “Oh, right, there’s an electronic version of the marriage certificate online!”

Saying this, she leaned over, took out her phone, and did some operations on it.

“Meryl, that’s enough!” Dalton’s face was gloomy. For some reason, when he saw Meryl really take out her phone, an indescribable fear suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.

An indescribable fear suddenly emerged from the depths of his heart.
