The guests below were abuzz with discussions, while on stage, Mason Scott continued.
"Everyone knows that Bella is the daughter born to my second wife and me. Outsiders might not be aware, but friends close to the Scott family and B City should know that I've always doted on my daughter."
"That's right, I admit, I have been biased. Ever since she was little, I favored Bella, while neglecting Larry Scott and Sylvia Scott, my children with my first wife. So, when someone badmouths Bella, it might be false. But coming from me, you should be able to believe it."
To prove himself, Mason Scott went all out, using his long-standing favoritism as evidence.
He seemed to be reminiscing about the past, speaking slowly and unhurriedly.
