Suzanne Yates and Austin Hall novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Not far away, two young women were wandering the mall, their eyes scanning their surroundings.

Christine Williams‘ gaze landed on Suzanne standing at the jewelry counter, and her expression froze. Leaning toward Seline, she whispered curiously,” Isn’t that Suzanne?”

Seline was surprised to see Suzanne at the mall. Her gaze landed on the emerald bracelet Suzanne was holding and smirked scornfully. Suzanne wasn’t worthy of such an expensive bracelet

is here too. Let’s go say hL”

Feigning surprise, she said lightly, “Oh, Sue is

With Christine in tow, Seline walked gracefully toward Suzanne. She masked her emotions and greeted her with a gentle smile, “Sue, are you buying a bracelet?

Suzanne’s gaze sharpened slightly. Of all the people to run into here, it had to be Seline. She felt her lock couldn’t get worse.

She and the sales associate both turned toward the source of the voice

A new thought crossed her mind, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. “Everything should go on a first come, first served basis, don’t you think?”
