Seline's expression turned sour immediately. Suzanne was such a bitch! Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, and she said in a tone full of hurt, "Sue, how can you say that? I'm your sister!" Suzanne was so disgusted that she almost felt sick. She couldn't even begin to understand how Seline could act so shamelessly.
Austin set the flowers down in the back seat and looked at Suzanne disapprovingly. "She's no one important. Why bother arguing with her?" He remembered every single thing the Yates family had done to Suzanne, so how could he have anything nice to say about them? If it weren't for Suzanne, he would have been even harsher with his words.

She knew she could trust Austin to say something offensive to Seline without swearing and still be able to embarrass Seline.
Seline had more to say, but Austin didn't give her a chance. He simply rolled up the car window and cut her off. He muttered coldly, "What an eyesore."

Suzanne froze for a moment, then turned her attention ahead. She said mockingly, "Speople do have bad tastes." And they treated a woman like Seline as a treasure.
As Austin's gaze lingered on Suzanne, his gaze darkened slightly. He leaned in, reached into the glove compartment, and pulled out a piece of candy. After unwrapping it, he placed it near Suzanne's lips.
"Have one. It's sweet." Suzanne turned to look at Austin, briefly taken aback.
