Mason Scott and Wendy Jenkins had just recovered from their shock.
After all, it was their own child whom they had favored for so many years. Even Wendy Jenkins, whose kindness to Tania Scott had a hidden agenda, could not tolerate seeing the girl she had raised being trampled under the foot of an adoptive daughter of Sylvia Scott.
"Tania is right, Lily Redington is indeed just my eldest daughter's adopted child, and she has no right to be compared with Tania. Mr. Lucas, even if you favor her, you can't belittle our Tania at such an occasion!"
Supporting the agitated Tania, Wendy Jenkins spoke in a gentle tone, but her words were sharp.
If Lily Redington was merely an adoptive daughter, then Aidan Lucas's words just now were indeed too much.
This was still Mr. Scott's birthday banquet, and him publicly stating that the Scott family's jewel was not as good as an adoptive daughter was akin to slapping the Scott family's face.
