Back in the Sloan family, Liam had only seen his mother a few times. However, whenever Liam mentioned his mother, he was very happy. Every day, Liam looked forward to his mother coming to pick him up.
However, she never did.
The woman lowered her eyes, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and held it between her fingers without smoking it.
She just let it burn away.
"Back then, I didn't agree for Liam to date that girl because she was one of Quavon's people. Quavon wanted to find an excuse to drive Liam out of the house, so he deliberately set up a trap."
Clayton shook violently.
The woman smiled faintly. “Quavon spared no effort t o pave the way for the son he had with his stepmother. So, do you know why I would rather Liam hate me than let that woman marry him?"
In the end, she paused.
"But I didn't expect them to have a child. Liam was still a boy himself, but he got a woman pregnant so capriciously. It's a good thing that the woman was killed by Isaac not long after."
Mrs. Sloan let out a cold laugh.
Clayton looked at her with a complicated gaze.
"You know everything?"
The woman chuckled. "Yes, I know everything."
"But you didn't do anything." Clayton's tone carried an undisguised chill.
The woman lowered her eyes. Her face was indifferent, so he could not tell if she felt any sadness i n her heart.
"The only thing I could do for him was to give him what he should be given. Whether or not he can keep i t depends on his ability.”
The woman took a deep breath and looked at Clayton before speaking.
"I was manipulated to accept this marriage alliance, and I was drugged by Quavon to conceive Liam. Everything about my life was forced. Why should I take the initiative? Once Liam was born, I left the Sloan family. My greatest value had been drained by them, so except being unable to divorce, I don't want t o get involved in anything that concerns the Sloan family.
Clayton frowned and looked at her.
"Anything that concerns the Sloan family, including Liam?"
The woman did not hesitate. "Yes."
Not every woman had to love her child.
