Chapter: 794
They avoided making eye contact, feeling unlucky.
Everett Morris, the father of Spencer and Amabel, smiled. "No wonder Aydan always speaks so highly of you. It's nice to hear to dine with you."
Coen nodded repeatedly. “Mr. Morris, I'm very impressed, and I look forward to working with you."
If it weren't for the fact that he had given a lot of money to Aydan, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a big shot as Everett. But he believed the money was well spent. If the cooperation went well, he could earn even more.
Kylee Morris, Everett's wife, called out to her children, "Spencer, Amabel, why have you not left yet? Who are they?"
Spencer stepped forward to make the introductions. “Mom, Dad, this is Susanna Scott, and this is Norah Wilson.”
Everett immediately picked up on the underlying message in his son's introduction and warmly greeted them, "I was wondering who this beautiful young lady was. Turns out it's Miss Scott. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Spencer's dad."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Morris, Mrs. Morris," Susanna replied politely, giving a proud glance at the suddenly shifting expressions of the Powell couple.
Had they regretted that disdainful look they gave her at the restaurant entrance earlier?
Coen broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't recognized Susanna earlier and assumed Norah's acquaintance wouldn't be someone important. That was why he had looked at her disdainfully.
Little did he know she belonged to the Scott family!
How could he even dare to cross the Scott family? Seeing the Scott family members, he should try their best to flatter them, hoping for even a scrap of favor.
Kylee had always favored obedient girls, and the sweet and well- mannered Susanna was just her type.
Norah was another name she knew. The high society in Glophia was tight-knit, and news traveled fast among them.
Initially, Derek and Norah's divorce hadn't made waves, but it became the talk of Glophia once Derek decided to marry Madeline, his past love and mistress.
Today, when Kylee learned their new partners were the Powells, she thought about urging her husband to back out. After all, their daughter was a mistress! She despised mistresses more than anything!
But after a brief conversation with Rhoda, she realized she might have misjudged her. It wasn't fair to judge someone just on their reputation.
With that in mind, she decided to drop her biases and engaged Rhoda in a light chat, steering clear of business topics she knew Little about.
After the families wrapped up their meeting, both were pleased and ready to sign the cooperation agreement.
Bumping into Susanna and Norah on the way out was an unexpected twist.
Kylee had even set aside her preconceived notions about the Powells, and similarly, she wouldn't pass judgment on Norah based solely on rumors.
“Oh, I heard you two are good friends with Spencer? Spencer is usually full of energy and outgoing. You two can hang out with him when you're free."
Spencer felt embarrassed. "Mom!"
Why did she still treat him like he was a kid, asking his friends to play with him whenever they met? He had been an adult for a while now.
