Chapter: 799

Rhoda rushed to Coen's side, exclaiming, "You useless man! How could you faint right now? Do you realize the cooperation is ruined?!"

Her frustration was palpable as she pinched Coen's nose, which, surprisingly, roused him. His eyes fluttered open.

“What... what did you say?"

Rhoda's fleeting happiness gave way to despair as she recalled their lost deal.

"The cooperation is ruined. The Morris family has decided to work with the Scott family instead."

Before Coen could fully grasp the situation, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again, causing Rhoda's cries to grow louder.

Nearby, Norah and Susanna, having witnessed Coen faint again, exchanged looks, both at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Amabel admired Sean, who had been protectively standing by his girlfriend. His manliness captivated her, making her wish she were the one being protected.

She had no love for the Powell family, considering them two-faced.

However, Madeline seemed like a suitable pawn to handle Norah.

As the lobby began to empty, Everett carefully examined a business card Phillip had given him.

The ambulance arrived soon after, taking Coen and Rhoda away.

Kylee guided Everett to the sofa and spoke softly about the connections between Norah and the Powell family.

“Haven't you been paying attention to the gossip I share with you?

Do you not remember Norah Wilson? Madeline was the one who wrecked Norah and Derek's marriage. Now, Norah is with Sean, Susanna's brother. And Coen and Rhoda are Madeline's parents. You went ahead and introduced them! Norah was kind enough not to quarrel with you."

It was a mistake only her husband could make.

Everett suddenly realized why Norah's name rang a bell. He had subconsciously picked up on the gossip about her.

"Did I really make such a big blunder? Luckily, Miss Wilson and Mr. Scott didn't seem to mind."

Everett was caught off guard.

“Kylee, I'm so relieved you were here today."

He tended to forget gossip right after hearing it, never expecting it might actually pave the way for a new partnership.

Kylee beamed with pride. "Sean isn't fond of the Powell family. We should probably avoid working with them in the future."

"Understood!"

Coen and Rhoda didn't know that they had been blacklisted by the Morris couple. After being treated by the doctor, Coen woke up and found himself sitting on a bench in the hospital lobby, resting, with Rhoda by his side.
