Despite Clara being Shelby's mother, Murray never gave her any consideration for being in that role. Murray respected every single person by Shelby, but Clara did not make that mark. It was not like Clara putting any effort towards her daughter. One could even ask themselves if Shelby had harmed her mother in any way, but that was not the case.
Ava looked straight at the woman sprawled on the floor after Murray had thrown her unceremoniously into the room. Ava felt no pity for this woman who had assumed the role of a mother but had made Shelby's life a living hell.
Thinking of what Rocky had said infuriated Ava the more. With the idea of Clara, Ava never longed for a mother like that. This time, Ava was not alone in that fury she was experiencing, and the reasons associated with it.
