Chapter: 797

Accustomed to high authority, a single glance from him could intimidate anyone.

Coen and Rhoda halted, always struck by Sean's imposing presence each time they encountered him.

Everett greeted Sean as he stepped forward and extended his hand.

“I'm Everett Morris. We've previously collaborated once."

Despite the significant age gap between them, Everett treated Sean with utmost respect.

Amabel gazed at Sean, utterly smitten. His handsome features and masculine aura captivated her. He was the man who haunted her dreams every night.

She often regretted letting go of his hand in their youth; such a decision had forced her to spend years abroad, missing precious moments with Sean and giving Norah a chance to wedge herself into his life.

Had she returned sooner, perhaps she would have been the one beside Sean today. In her view, Sean was merely with Norah temporarily.

Sean nodded in acknowledgment and lightly shook Everett's hand.

“Mr. Morris," he addressed him.

He surveyed the room with an unchanging expression, then withdrew his hand to rest it behind his back.

Susanna moved closer to Sean, highlighting the cooperative efforts between the Powell and Morris families.

Upon hearing the mention of the Powell family, Sean's frosty gaze settled on Coen, sending a chill down his spine.

Coen was taken aback by Sean's intense gaze, contemplating the reasons behind it. Could it be that Sean was actually trying to ruin his cooperation with the Morris family?

The more Coen dwelled on it, the paler his lips turned. Under Sean's intense presence, he felt suffocated, and his eyes rolled back as he collapsed.

Everyone stared in disbelief as Coen fainted.

Rhoda screamed and dashed over. "Honey, are you alright?"

Susanna was confused. "Is the tendency to faint genetic?" Madeline is his daughter. She takes after him, also fainting easily under stress or pressure."

She had only whispered to her brother to tease the Powell couple, but she hadn't anticipated that Coen's mental resilience was so fragile that he'd faint before her brother could even respond.

Everett and others hurried over, and the front desk staff called for an ambulance.

Norah came closer to assess the situation. Just like with Madeline, Coen had fainted due to overwhelming stress, and he would recover soon.

However, seeing Rhoda so distraught, Norah did not offer any reassurance.

Seeing that the situation wasn't serious, Everett returned to Sean to affirm his interest for cooperation.

“Mr. Scott, I'm really keen on partnering with you. All of your industries are ideal for collaboration."
